Oh man, I still remember spelling bees, those moments you get a word that has some weird origin like Yiddish or whatever were the worst for me. Especially since I usually just winged it when I went to the spelling bees. I wouldn't blame the kid for the way he acted after he won. :v:
Goes to figure that the contest was won by an [URL="http://public.spellingbee.com/public/results/2013/round_results/speller/163"]Indian native that lives in New York[/URL] (no racial bias here). I guess US "locals" suck at spelling.

I dunno why that's even worth bringing up
Some Indian kid won a spelling bee by spelling obscure words that very few people in the US would ever actually use; it's in no way a reflection of the spelling skills or intelligence of the native US population
I expected more batshit, honestly.
Am I watching the right video? All I see is a kid sort of standing there, how that could be described as "batshit crazy" I have no idea.
Thanks for wasting my time.
Why do all these Spelling Bee champions seem to lack a soul? Honestly, that kid has such a dead-eyed stare :v:
"That was it?"
after the confetti dropped it sounded like a swarm of bees was being released
The title didn't prepare me for that at all :v:
The confetti on his hair and his straight face is just.
Oh god.
He really wanted to be a dancer
If he's the only speller remaining, why does he have to spell another word to win?

If he misspelled it then I'm pretty sure the last kid to get knocked out goes back in until someone spells another word wrong. Just how it works I guess.
the way he just stands there as it sounds like a billion bees are being released is horrifying

Hey you try spelling long and hard words without using spell check or google.
The shot where he has the thousand yard stare without the confetti in his hair did me in.

Everyone can do that.
Poor Pranav in the background.
[QUOTE=AlphaGunman;40855133]Everyone can do that.[/QUOTE]
But can they do it correctly? That's the key point here.

Tell me man. Tell what you do to make full use of your life?

im going to point out how it figures that the guy is indian BUT IM NOT RACIST ok
Probably wanted more words.
[QUOTE=daijitsu;40852140]after the confetti dropped it sounded like a swarm of bees was being released[/QUOTE]
it only occurred to me now (after watching this 6 times in succession and laughing myself into orbit); but the bees are probably because they're at a spelling BEE.

This video is twice as funny if you read the title as "Kid goes batshit after he wins Cripps national spelling bee"
