At first glance, today’s entry might appear to be just another mildly funny, semi-exploitative viral video some kid put up about his overweight, sweatsuit-wearing brother showing off his “sword skills”, but upon further review, I think you’ll agree that it’s without question the very definition of awesome.

It starts off wonderfully enough with the stammering, stuttering “Hello Mr. Rob, I am Philip” speech, and an undeniable attempt to unpick a wedgie via squatting (at 00:05), but after a few minutes, the whole thing sort of morphs into a fascinating display of awe-inspiring mindf*ckery – so trance-inducing, in fact, that I lost track of time while watching, and burned my morning toast beyond repair.

*Before posting this, I had strongly considered listing the play-by play highlights (like at 4:38 when he makes a Yoda noise, or at 5:01 when he starts making up moves like the “dragon…twister”, the “bull…charge” and the “cross flash!”, or how at the end of the video he puts his swords away into invisible sheaths located on the side of his sweatpants), but there are far, far too many to count. Whoever you are, Philip, I respect your hair and admire your passion.
