[@Prederick]

This was a utterly moronic, ridiculous waste of my valuable time. Please continue doing this, you guys are amazing.

[@javalgandha8881]

So truee LMFAOOO

[@georgeomole14]

If Bipolar was a comment looool

[@joaquinandremarquezvera6515]

Tifo is like abstract art, sometimes i dont get it , most of the times... i still dont get it. But in a weird way both still categorize as some form of Art smh...

[@Roscododger]

Joe Devine is, and I don't say this lightly, a national treasure.

[@PaulHolmesy]

He needs to be made a Dame asap

[@leothecat9609]

He is the current leader in a long line of British eccentric gentleman

[@RohitKumar-hi4qf]

No ... He is a UNESCO site.

[@cephlo1]

he tries too hard imo

[@sarahjessicafarter7383]

*international

[@ribsi85]

Never have I had my time wasted so brazenly before. Bravo.

[@iamo0]

Well, those who read your comment didn’t: i’ve learned a word “brazenly”. Thanks.

[@kevinmccabe7263]

Not since the real Super League at least!

[@burkezillar]

"There's no such thing as bad ideas, just bad executions" - helpfully demonstrated by the cameraman just as he said it.

[@poojith6549]

Lmao

[@Bobby_sprinkles]

I assumed this was meant

[@danjwcarter]

Tifo is getting more and more insane as the months go on and honestly, it's what the world needs.

[@I-am-stevo]

Lockdown has lasting effects on people. Tifo is the evidence

[@JasonRennie]

But, from a relative perspective, I think Tifo is becoming more sane... as the rest of the world goes completely bonkers.

[@mahonicles]

20 minutes of my workday stolen by Alex doing his weird racoon dance and JJ making eagle noises - glorious

[@cameronwebster5683]

i feel like joe comes into work each day and is surprised about how much football related activity he has to do. it’s chaotic

[@robyn6884]

Alex Stewart is an under appreciated genius his contribution to Art and dance will live beyond him. A truly incredible man

[@kitlee2305]

Adam Leventhal making sure we all know that Adam Leventhal is presenting, props for also listing Adam Leventhal as the Adam Leventhal in the credits.

[@kieronparr3403]

Are you sure it's Adam Leventhal?

[@jordansmith7182]

Wait. Who was presenting again?

[@Aaron19987]

Best Bit I’d him reintroducing himself before every statement

[@nicherjberger9008]

When Alex wrote down the 4 Rules and nobody else did, I just thought, that’s such an Alex thing to do.

[@stephenkoshy3127]

Nothing prepared me for Alex's promo video. My life won't be the same going forward.

[@dfetz3]

Tifo please release the reaction of the other contestants while watching the Alex dance video.

[@SamisAga1]

“Joe Devine entering the last stage of madness is presented in this video ladies and gentleman!”

[@bianconerocatracho909]

Not nearly as mad as the pogs episode

[@emekaamadi8699]

I was losing it when joe stole JFK Spech

[@KT-ki6gz]

JJ spent 7 hours and 15 minutes in the rain and 45 minutes on his presentation

[@sanryzleck655]

This really has the feeling of being back at school, making presentations and presenting in front of the class. With all of your friends sitting at the back of the classroom and laughing hysterically at what you have managed to create. And the fact that seemingly everyone at one point or another looks like they are having, or is about to have a meltdown. It is truly fantastic.

[@Roscododger]

Adam played his part perfectly. In fact everyone did, exceptional video guys.

[@wilfroberts637]

GET AWAY FROM THE LAPTOPS

[@wilfroberts637]

5:30

[@hellosaysme08]

If this doesn't involve Seb using a tiger analogy I don't want to know about it

[@ayyndrew]

Where were you when Joe Devine saved football?

[@cameronwebster5683]

with my friendly neighbourhood skeleton

[@fizz113]

This is just going to be Joe Devine wrestling the skeleton, isn't it?

[@themindofben]

unspeakably outraged that Jacques de Bones wasn't revealed as a surprise panellist for this

[@curtiswatson4192]

the way they're giggling in the back like school children when their mate has to step up to do a PowerPoint in front of the class

[@TheLucasisawesome]

As a sophisticated man I would love to be a part of JJ's Super League facebook page, is there a link for it?

[@WillMiall]

Alex doing an expressive dance piece, is definitely something I never thought I'd see! The whole thing was very funny, well done you 4. Better luck next time JJ #Beckhamstrike

[@murdochyyyyy]

Love how serious ridleys questions are while everyone is trying to not laugh as much as I was. Especially sinead who is completed confused what what signed up for. This is the best waste of 22 minutes ever.

[@RobertClose254]

You guys are making some of my favourite content on the internet, football related or otherwise. Excellent stuff.

[@jimmyirons9150]

"Sophisticated...for y o u" - JJ Bull

[@haroldcvideo]

I am truly on board with Alex's vision for the Super League. Also, I didn't know such a stoic man could be capable of expressing so much through the medium of dance (if you can call it dance?)

[@JakePetrolhead]

I'm a absolutely here for more videos along the lines of "The Tifo office slowly descend into complete madness" - can definitely say that this has been one of the highest concept shitposts I've seen in ages.

[@bizzarechipmonk]

"High concept shitpost" is the best way to describe this.

[@eugenelorenzo8675]

Perfect. Every minute of this. It's like they've had enough of their analytical and highly-intellectual sides in the podcasts and in the main channel, that they've decided to banish all logic here and let loose nonsense in the best, delightful way possible.

[@celtic69]

Joe please put your ESL logo on a t shirt and mug so I can buy both!

[@stephenk24]

I second this

[@NatC3114]

This video contains all you need to know about Tifo Football's writers. Joe with his big, accomplished smile hiding his tendency to become mad; JJ with his fun demeanour and the type of student that will rush everything in the last moment (because he doesn't know what to do in the first place); Seb, a father figure that will read you a bedtime story and gives you a bit of a plot twist that eventually let you think about everything (in the end, you can't sleep well); and lastly Alex, a nihilist that will work everything out (as he's thinking about everything all the time), type of person that can't work without coffee and a cigarette. Anyway, its full of jokes here and I can't wait to see one of your faces as a meme template in the near future.

[@Groundsey]

It’s all about the 3 points remember

[@anne8180]

“ ‘I never win anything.’ -Kristie Mewis” - Alex Stewart.

[@fergushudson8384]

This was spectacular, Alex's video had me in tears! Thanks guys

[@marinusdejager41]

Alex probably listens to Kraftwerk

[@TheAthleticFC]

He does.

[@Utterlyderanged]

This channel is slowly turning into a sitcom. Please go on, I love it

[@vvrath]

17:10 Alex's video is remarkable

[@krishnanandnair6274]

When they said that presentations were in the lion's den, I fully expected them to be held at The Old Red Lion and was thoroughly disappointed to discover they were not

[@homosapien5156]

I paused the video and laughed for 3 minutes straight after I saw the first 2 seconds of Alex's video.

[@owenmartin2014]

Same here! Literally crying of laughter

[@JasonRennie]

JJ: it's like a car accident. It's awful, but you... just... can't... look away!

[@britabroad1000]

absolute genius from start to finish. these videos are increasingly like a really intense fever dream

[@jamesmowbray1837]

They are slowly transitioning from football analytics to proper youtube channel and I love it

[@nolanmusic1]

Bravo all! Not the serious, well reasoned video I was expecting - it was something, so much better! Now to try and stop singing JJ's ridiculously catchy theme tune...

[@emekaamadi8699]

Exceptional video from Alex, revolutionary stuff

[@chris94kennedy]

you lot are absolute legends in style and substance. Quality channel, we love it!

[@Flavour_Beans]

Oh gosh. Please give us a sequel where they have to rebrand a top-tier team with a long history. Logo, kit, stadium, and official song.

[@otto_jk]

@BK obviously Newcastle

[@leothecat9609]

I haven't cried laughing for a long time, thanks lads

[@meowwww9275]

This is by far the best video you have done to date guys, I don't think I've found a funnier video on KZbin. Thanks for the content and for putting the extra yards into this one and the FM one especially.

[@francescoandreussi]

Wonderfully and ludicrously brilliant and exhilarating video! TOP JOB! P.S.: If Alex and all of you fancy visiting the city of Bauhaus, Weimar, I'd be honored to be your cicerone!:)

[@JustinWelchUK]

Utterly and unapologetically brilliant! I haven't laughed so hard in weeks, and for this I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

[@kevinmccabe7263]

I feel like Seb's presentation was actually really good and the editing totally threw him under the bus! This has Joe's finger prints all over it lol

[@STANKYCHEEZEMAYNE]

except Seb edited it lol he's the main Content Editor and is credited as such on this video

[@rajaahdhananjey4803]

The ad for this in the Ramsdale video was what brought me here. Keep advertising this more. We need moaaarrr!

[@midnightwolfee2128]

Amazing stuff by everyone involved. Alex especially was absolutely perfect in this! 🤣

[@IrrelevantGeOff]

Adam was excellent and hilarious in this! Of course the foursome were as well, making for some fantastic out of the ordinary football content. Loved this!

[@faiqnadzmi9771]

This has to be the best 23 mins of i ever spent in my entire youtube life. What a show. Love this lads

[@jace8603]

Excellent work!! I love the IRL videos where your personalities/comedy genius are able to shine

[@jamespotter1302]

Pure. Genius. Look forward to seeing the expansion of the Tifo Cinematic Universe

[@MrDon780]

This was excellent. And I loved every second of it.

[@cwbend]

I’m glad that Tifo has found an outlet for this art

[@andrewdhughes1993]

Please do lots more of this type of content! It's awesome!

[@BFSamurai]

Easily the best football channel, another top video!

[@illiteratethug3305]

I've been singing "BECKHAM STRIKE! you get a Beckham strike in the sooooper league" for about 5 hours now, people are looking at me funny...

[@starkravingmad9336]

This gives me Apprentice vibes and I love it. I’m sure some people have no idea around irony, tongue in cheek or understand British humour, this is what keeps me here. Great job guys, keep it up!

[@HufflepuffDaddy]

This was pure genius! The concept, the deadpan humour, the acting, the reactions, everything

[@eddotron1224]

I was just about keeping it together through Joe's and JJ's, but Alex's video absolutely slayed me

[@jyotiprakashpanda4717]

I have followed you guys since the uMAXit days. This video shows how you rebranded yourselves into something so much more elegant. Great content.

[@alfie6098]

I do adore the contrast between the video and the last part of the description

[@ipoweidojackson167]

This is amazing. I was just busy laughing in the office, it seemed i had gone bonkers. Love from Nigeria

[@fidel500]

That was a really fun watch! Let's hope we see a player recreate Alex's dance as a goal celebration this weekend.

[@Turin1997]

this brings back great memories from my presentations in school. JJ bull work and seb presentation are literally me😂

[@danielsmith5318]

This was great!! How about another Football Manager video, but with Super League teams? That could be fun.

[@alexslater1051]

It’s actually mad how far Tifo have come I love it

[@johanaziz]

I’ve watched so many of your videos, but today, you earned my subscribe

[@jasonfaj4221]

This was hilarious, loved every second of it. keep it up.

[@zeybarur]

I've replayed JJ's presentation more times than I'd like to admit

[@ThinsofWheat]

"5...4...3...2...1..." *wink* "I'm Adam Leventhal. You're time is up. Step away from your laptops. Step away. STEP AWAY!" What a commanding performance from Adam Leventhal... whoever he is...

[@danthemaninthetrashcan]

that was absolutely wonderful. more of this, please.

[@maxouph212]

i didn't see this coming..... You made my day. amazing guys!

[@unstoppableExodia]

The amount of disrespect shown to Seb was priceless. I’m glad he’s a good sport about it and seems in on the joke. But I’d say the biggest joke is how seriously the Tifo guys took this challenge. For a logo design the obvious thing to do would be study the logos used successfully in other football leagues and take cues from that to develop something befitting of the pomp and majesty of something that would seek to position itself as the greatest of all football competitions

[@gazzadona]

Amazing once again and their was nothing better then JJs realisation when he heard their was judges

[@MrRandomDude71]

Joe, JJ and Seb delivered kind of what I would think they would do. But that video vad totally changed my perception of Alex 😂. What a guy

[@lukehferris]

More of this. Perfection!

[@carsena1318]

this was an experience. great production. i loved it and also am changed from it

[@baladushi6444]

Love this type of content! where is the merch??

[@DirtyDeniz13]

Yeah, I'm gonna need that 'European Super League: It's Inevitable' poster ASAP

[@sohumparanjpe2639]

Bloody Brilliant, Top Job Tifo

[@harpr5]

Jesus, this is just, I have no words. Keep it up

[@ecashman]

Not sure if the horrible zoom at the beginning of the video was purposefully paired with the phrase, "there are no bad ideas, just bad executions," but if it was then it was absolutely brilliant.

[@zeddrex83]

Please do more of this. This is hilarious.

[@jonathanshoobridge6323]

Magically insane. Great stuff.

[@jamesoakley5742]

Not watched this all yet because I'm being told I have to go to bed but happy to see the Tifo boys having some fun. Saying that I would like to see an ACTUAL attempt by Joe and the lads to fix the European Super league and propose something that could actually work in theory. How would relegation, fixtures, transfers and revenue sharing work in a pan European 'super league' in reality and in a way that was palatable to the masses.

[@BodyBoarder6]

This was unreal. I loved it so much. Perfect. Wow.

[@pilo754]

I had no idea where this was heading at any point but I absolutely loved it! 😂

[@bivek87]

I had no idea what I was getting myself into 😂😂 loved it ❤️

[@tonypatino1765]

The graphic designer guy probably regrets showing up

[@rahulk8322]

Over the months I've been pondering whether- Tifo was a football channel, or was it stand-up? I think this cleared it up. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

[@Sagar251291]

I want an outtake or blooper video of this.

[@joeboyes7567]

That ad from Alex was nothing short of disturbing brilliance. A big, grotesque, but delicious cherry on top of the cake that was this video

[@jamesb7629]

I spat a mouthful of cereal across my living room watching JJ Bull's presentation. Now I have to clear up half-eaten Cheerios.

[@RenewedRS]

I hadn't seen Seb's full name written before so it's a massive shock to learn the podcast intro has always said "Hallo Herr Stafford-Bloor". I thought he was just saying german-sounding words til now.
