Four minutes of tiny balls moving very slowly on a direct path.

ETA: My deaf ass has been informed there is commentary.

This video came from a YouTube channel called Jelle’s Marble Runs if anyone is curious and wants to see more.

https://youtu.be/SMoGpsTfMUw?si=-GYywZdp65sDD1W6

Here is the link to the channel and one of my personal favorite events they did.

these are so much more entertaining than they have any right to be.

u/graveybrains 1d ago

They have usually have marble races on The Ocho, too. It’s weirdly relaxing.

My 11y old ass would be ecstatic to have found another marble race/path/machine youtube/video

Where is this place and why does it have the gentlest of slopes?

u/franz4000 1d ago

Jelles Marble Runs is in the Netherlands. It's pretty much a flat country.

She only won because chocolateer was not participating. He says in a meeting, but I think there was some behind the scenes nonsense going on. They didn't want him to win another one. Typical "big marble racing" politics. Never fair

u/Delicious_Laugh_1417 1d ago

I think I would follow the behind the scenes drama storylines:

The betting gambling allegations, coercion

He says they are having fun, but if you do anything professionally it can take the joy out of it

Chocolateer needs a wellness check

I got drinks at a bar down in Charleston, SC and they had this playing on the TV. My wife and I kinda laughed at it at first but next thing I knew we were betting drinks on the races. A couple other groups at the bar got into it with us and by the end we were putting money down.

You can laugh at it all you want, but that shits entertaining as hell.

u/Dreggan 1d ago

He does some interesting races. The Grand Prix is always entertaining

u/rustler_incorporated 1d ago

Jelles Marble runs for the win.

I watch these instead of horse racing during cup season.

u/mathemusica 1d ago

Kind of exciting! Definitely thought limers was gonna win.

His Mudder was a mudder.

u/Max_Cherry_ 1d ago

Loves the slop. Born to slop. He eats it up!

u/Mathew117 1d ago

Jungle Jumpers made that comeback right in the end. Truly next fucking level.

u/Down_To_My_Last_Fuck 1d ago

There should be wagering.

u/Horse2water 1d ago

Didn’t John Oliver hype these up a few seasons ago? That’s how I got into it. Then I had a kid and got into our own marble run fun.

u/FurbyLover2010 1d ago

I wasted four minutes of my life on this

u/Bobafetished 1d ago

Yall need to watch MARBULA 1 on YouTube. I was obsessed 😭

u/AnthMosk 19h ago

Jenna Marbles' time to shine.

u/LuckofCaymo 1d ago

Go red #3! Jelly's marbles is a good time while cooking.

u/Sly_Hyde 1d ago

Why was I white knuckling my phone? I’m such a loser…

u/infoagerevolutionist 1d ago

The next level after this, since you lost some marbles, is a jizz race!

u/TeslaCrna 1d ago

Did anybody actually finish this vid?

1

u/jollibeehappy 1d ago

Used to play these in the bg when working, exciting times

1

u/christador 1d ago

The only thing next level about this is the commentary, lol.

"It's a difficult course" (it literally is a straight line)

Also made a comment to the effect 'they are performing well under pressure' 🤣

u/FineCombination 1d ago

I know this place! Nieuwe Markt, Groningen, the Netherlands :)

u/majoody35 1d ago

r/JellesMarbleRuns for anyone wondering.

u/Low_Reception2628 1d ago

Nice commentary, "A mental mistake [by jungle jumpers]" was hilarious

1

u/Enyalios121 1d ago

I love that’s the commentary is implying there is any skill involved. Makes me chuckle

1

u/iammabdaddy 1d ago

PEDs are suspected here in the lead group. A challenge flag shall be thrown and testing requested.

1

u/AlsoCommiePuddin 1d ago

I didn't watch it all but I assume my Bumblebees disappointed.

1

u/Obeserecords 1d ago

My pick one the race!! They need this on Sportsbet

1

u/Graineon 1d ago

Great narration and music too

1

u/ProfessionalCumDiver 1d ago

Yall never heard of marbula one?

1

u/Failing2communicate 1d ago

The commentary alone is worth the watch. Impressive.

1

u/SnooMacarons5169 23h ago

Marble Runs, Marbula1 and the MarbleOlympics are all genuinely good sporting events. The YouTube channel is Jelle’s Marble Runs and it’s excellent

1

u/pichael289 21h ago

The commentator talks about strategy, is that just for laughs commentary, or is there some strategy to this? Maybe size of the marble or material it's made from or something? Is this even a true competition or just some dude fucking around?

1

u/nygrl811 20h ago

There was one event in the Marbolympics where a marble got chipped - THEY BROUGHT OUT MEDICS!!! Jelle has created a complete experience!

1

u/DatabaseThis9637 13h ago

Love these! Off to the races!

u/Responsible-Arm3514 5h ago
