Sorry but I think that they are a load of rubbish, not funny in the slightest.

These are funny. Wondering if someone might do something like this next year here in the states.

Guys,

I know traditionally Brit humour is not the same as in the US but as far as I am concerned this is a P!ss take out of triathletes. How is a video of some fat idiot funny? certainly not motivational. I can only imagine that its aimed at people with no knowledge of triathlon and fits a stereotype of what they believe a triathlete is all about. And I did spell Humour correctly.

Rob is right, I should not be laughing. That being said, I laughed a lot. It's 4:30am and I think I just woke my wife up. Thanks a lot England!

It's British humor for sure.

It's British humor for sure.

Does it give us triathletes a bad rap... Don't think so. On the other had look at pictures of Chrissie, how skinny and lean she is... Would people think we are all anorexic?

The commercials are from Virgin Active UK, which runs health clubs. Do we have a subliminal message, like get your butt in here if you want to do a triathlon.

It's just humor, like going to a comedy show.

Here is a semi-funny (sort of long) one some friends of mine here in MN did for their race
