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.

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

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.

"....sponsored by American Apparel"

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

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
