Video of the Day: Hipster Olympics

Making fun of hipsters isn't even ironically cool anymore, but this video of The Hipster Olympics somehow still manages to be funny. The hipsters go through a series of challenges including picking out ironic thrift store t-shirts (obvs), photographing themselves for their MySpace profiles, and tossing out albums by artists who have sold out by becoming popular (Of Montreal, Caribou, The Beatles and the sarcastic selection of Bruce Willis). Find out who wins the silver (which is the new gold):

We haven't heard such good sports commentary since Jason Bateman's work in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.

I disagree. Making fun of hipsters is hysterical.

keep the hipsters news coming Gothamist!

making fun of hipsters will always be cool, because they're not.

This was actually pretty funny.

In addition to evites, my current pet peeve is the shortening of words (i.e. "obvs"). Please, make it stop?

they should have had one where the hipster buys colored converse only to discover that wearing black is the only true hipster converse and thus has made himself an outcast

"....sponsored by American Apparel"

so true. I'd feel bad for them if they weren't so goddamned smug.

You can keep making fun of us because we grew up in nice towns instead of Westchester and Jersey or that our dad's had real jobs that made them lots of money instead of being cops, but we don't care. We get laid every night, we have all the best blow.

Nonsense #8 - The cops have the best blow. Always have. Duh.

Was one of those my son - oh no!!!!

i dislike Italians more than hipsters.

get the hell out of my neighborhood douchebags

global warming is the new empenadas.

love it!

#8: Couple things..

Westchester and Jersey are pretty nice overall.

My dad was a cop and I can get much better blow than you can dream about finding in this town.

Getting laid every night in NY is not an achievement, especially if you're a guy.

#8 Also, Westchester is a county, Jersey is a State.

Wait, what the fuck am I arguing with some interloper for.

I really gotta get away from this fucking computer.

Very, very unoriginal. And it's about seven years too late. Even The Hipster Handbook is fast approaching five years of age.
