0:00:26 > 0:00:29Hello and welcome to the brand spanking new series
0:00:29 > 0:00:33of Officially Amazing where we show you the most
0:00:33 > 0:00:35incredible records from around the world.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Here's a little taster of what you can expect.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55BRAKES SQUEAL
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Good, hey?
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Right. Here's a look at some of the incredible
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Guinness World Records being attempted on today's show.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Flying disc legend Brodie Smith hates cones on tables
0:01:09 > 0:01:13and has a unique and record-breaking way of dealing with them.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18This strange gentleman attempts a joke telling record.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I jest you not.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Remember Sizzlin' Steve?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27He's back and taking on Mr Cherry
0:01:27 > 0:01:31and a man we call US Ray in a watery record attempt.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35First, we begin the series in the good old U of K with...
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Ah! Some time out relaxing in Lincolnshire.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52I'm not really sure what today's record is all about.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I've just been told to wait here and all will be revealed.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58It is a lovely spot. I'm happy about that.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I might even go for a cheeky little snooze.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Urgh!
0:02:09 > 0:02:11HE GASPS
0:02:11 > 0:02:15It appears to be a waterskiing record, DOESN'T IT?
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Whilst I go and get towelled off - thank you for that -
0:02:19 > 0:02:21and change into something a bit more appropriate,
0:02:21 > 0:02:25why don't you meet one half of our record-breaking attempt?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30This is 17-year-old Charlotte Wharton.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33She's been waterskiing since she could - whoa - walk.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37That's a unique way to dry your ponytail!
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Charlotte is ranked third in the world and holds the under-17
0:02:41 > 0:02:46British water-ski jump record with a massive 40.1 metres.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Look at her fly! That's almost the same as four buses,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53although you wouldn't find them in a water park.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57We do love a good bus comparison on Officially Amazing. Anyway.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I dressed up for the occasion
0:02:59 > 0:03:02and spoke to the lady herself about today's challenge.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04You are going to be doing some waterskiing for us today
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- but the record isn't the usual type of- waterskiing. No.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11How have you been able to practise for this record, then?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I haven't really, cos it's so different.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16'Hang on, she hasn't practised?'
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I haven't really, cos it's so different.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Unlike most attempts, where people have practised for days,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24weeks or years, Charlotte hasn't been able to
0:03:24 > 0:03:27because she's not going to be towed by a motor boat.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31That would be far too easy. She's going to be pulled by these guys.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36The Imperial College London rowing team.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40And they have quite a task ahead of them.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Water skiers normally need to hit speeds of around 20mph
0:03:46 > 0:03:48to ski properly and at full sprint,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51the fastest of rowers only reach around 14mph.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55On top of that, motorboats pull at a constant speed.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58With rowers, it isn't as smooth so practice doesn't start well.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Things seem to have slowed down to a halt over there at the moment.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Charlotte has still not been able to even get up on the water-skis.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08After around an hour of trying,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11they've not managed to tow Charlotte even a quarter of the course
0:04:11 > 0:04:15and with every stroke, the rowers are burning up much-needed energy
0:04:15 > 0:04:17and getting tired. It's not looking good.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21The whole method of doing the waterskiing is completely different.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Looks like you're having to pull and push and readjust.- Yeah.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Their boat is going back and forwards so much,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28you have to try and kind of go with them
0:04:28 > 0:04:31and they're almost pulling you and you lose all the rope
0:04:31 > 0:04:33so then you've got no speed so you've got to try
0:04:33 > 0:04:36and get in sync with them to try and help them out as well.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- It is a case of going with the flow. - It is.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Can they figure it out?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43We'll leave Charlotte and the rowers to find their rhythm
0:04:43 > 0:04:46and rejoin them shortly to see if they can break this
0:04:46 > 0:04:49excruciatingly difficult Guinness World Record.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52But for now, let's water-ski over the big pond
0:04:52 > 0:04:54to America for something...
0:05:01 > 0:05:06- 'I love playing Frisbee with you, Al, old buddy.- Me too, Benny boy.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- 'We're the greatest players of our generation.- I know!
0:05:10 > 0:05:15- 'Long throw, Al! Are you ready? Go long!- Born ready, Ben.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18'Nice.'
0:05:18 > 0:05:22OK. So we are not that great, but this guy is,
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- and he's right the way over there. - Hey, guys!
0:05:26 > 0:05:31MUSIC: "Fly" by Nicki Minaj Feat. Rihanna
0:05:33 > 0:05:36That was brilliant. That's Brodie and this is him in action.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Brodie Smith is a flying disc flinging phenomenon.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46He's even represented his country playing Ultimate Frisbee
0:05:46 > 0:05:49for the USA in the 2013 Dream Cup.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54There is nothing he can't do with these flying discs.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56For example, check this out!
0:05:59 > 0:06:01And this.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05And this.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Where has it gone? - Right here, Ben.- What?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11He's just thrown it into the sea?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Oh, no. You just wait.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Yeah, baby!
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Somebody's caught it on a boat about a million miles away.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Now, that is cool.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25We're at this huge stadium in Jacksonville, Florida,
0:06:25 > 0:06:28where Brodie is going to be attempting a new world record
0:06:28 > 0:06:33for the most cones hit by flying discs in one minute.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Is it more about power or technique in terms of throwing?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39This, as it's only 10 metres, it's more just about the accuracy.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I like to consider myself a Frisbee connoisseur
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- yet mine wobbles all over the place. - It's all about the wrist snap.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48The more rotation, the flatter it is going to fly.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Ben has what doctors call lady fingers. Is that good or bad?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- They are slender and pretty.- No.- OK.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57We'll leave it as an unknown. It's up for debate.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00No debate, then. Brodie knows what he's talking about.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03He's already got the current record of eight cones knocked over
0:07:03 > 0:07:07in a minute and today he's going for 12. But can he do it?
0:07:09 > 0:07:13'Brodie says he can hit any target he wants to.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15BEN CHEERS
0:07:15 > 0:07:18'And to demonstrate that, I am the target.'
0:07:18 > 0:07:20All I have to do is catch it.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24BEN LAUGHS
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- 'Oh, man!' - He washes his hands with butter.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- He says it helps his skin. - BRODIE LAUGHS
0:07:31 > 0:07:35'Yeah, OK. Nice one, Ben. But just you wait.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39'This is the one. My chance at redemption.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42'All the way around the other side of the curtain.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43'Over here, Brodie!
0:07:45 > 0:07:48'Here we go, baby. What a thrill!
0:07:49 > 0:07:53'This could be the greatest sporting moment of my life.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58Everyone watching at home cheering, screaming my name.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02'I got it! I got it!
0:08:02 > 0:08:06'I got it! OK. I don't got it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Maybe I should leave it to the professional. Here are the rules.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13The thrower must be at least ten metres from the targets
0:08:13 > 0:08:17and the cones must be hit completely off the table.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Brodie's current record is eight cones knocked over in a minute.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Today he's going to try
0:08:24 > 0:08:28and smash that by knocking over all 12 cones that have been laid out.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32It's record-breaking time. The targets are set.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37Official adjudicator Amanda is in place and Brodie is ready to go.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Ben.- Three, two, one, throw.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45'So Brodie must knock the cones completely off the tables.'
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- Yes!- That's one.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- Come on!- Come on, Brodie.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Whoo! That's three!
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Four! Fi...oh!
0:08:59 > 0:09:03'He frightened it but that one won't count if it's still standing.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09'Now this one is taking a lot of... There it goes! That's five down.'
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- BOTH: Six!- Oh!
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Seven!- Yes!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Ah!- 30 seconds!
0:09:17 > 0:09:21'That's eight down. He's equalled his previous record.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24'But can he smash it in the time he's got left?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27'Only 20 seconds left and still four cones standing.'
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Yes!- Here you go.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Yes!- There you go!
0:09:32 > 0:09:3410. YES!
0:09:34 > 0:09:39- 'Only the 12th cone is left. - Can he get it and smash his record?'
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Three, two, one... - BEN SCREAMS
0:09:42 > 0:09:44YES!
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- That's the goal! That's it! - All right! Whoo!
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Wowzas! That was incredible!
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Brodie left it until the last second to knock over that 12th cone,
0:09:56 > 0:10:00officially cutting it fine and officially amazing.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I can confirm that you hit 12 cones in this attempt,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06which is a new Guinness World Record.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08'I'm buzzing after that,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11'which is pretty apt considering what's up next in...'
0:10:18 > 0:10:21So here we are in Shaanxi province in China
0:10:21 > 0:10:25to see a record attempt involving lots of bees and this man.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28But what exactly do you think his record could be?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Is it A - most bee stings in a minute?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37B - the heaviest mantle or cloak of bees?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Or C - most bananas eaten by a man covered with bees
0:10:40 > 0:10:43while singing about rabbits near a hurricane?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48The answer is, of course...bee!
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Liangming is hoping to break the record for the world's heaviest
0:10:52 > 0:10:55bee mantle or cloak.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00He's got to cover his whole body in as many bees as possible.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03The current record is:
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Liangming is using queen bees in those boxes attached to his clothes
0:11:09 > 0:11:12to attract thousands of worker bees
0:11:12 > 0:11:14and persuade them to cling to his body.
0:11:14 > 0:11:20His suitable safety gear of choice is...an open cotton shirt.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23And the challenge has started as the beekeepers come on
0:11:23 > 0:11:25and start pouring bees over him.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Who knew that bees could be poured?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33And his bee-spoke bee suit is really starting to take shape.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37I know what you're thinking, who counts the bees?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39It's done by weight.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Each bee weighs about a 10th of a gram
0:11:41 > 0:11:45so 24 kilos works out at 240,000 bees.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Only 374,000 more to break the record.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53"But what if they all sting him?" I hear you cry.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57You'll probably hear him scream a bit and then die.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Needless to say, you should never try this at home.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04I actually lent them one of my bees for this record. There he is now.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Hello, George. Looking good. There he is, completely covered.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10They can't put any more bees on without covering his head
0:12:10 > 0:12:13and obviously they wouldn't do...
0:12:13 > 0:12:15AAH!
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Un-bee-lievable. He looks like the abominable bee man.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24A quick check of the bee-ometer shows that there are 62.1 kilos
0:12:24 > 0:12:27of bees on him, approximately 621,000 bees.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Almost 8,000 over the target and a new Guinness World Record!
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Look at the smile on his face!
0:12:36 > 0:12:40And it's good to know he doesn't do it for the glory or the money,
0:12:40 > 0:12:42he just does it for the buzz.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46From bees back to skis now, as we return to...
0:12:54 > 0:12:59Hello and welcome back to our watery world record breaking adventure.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Earlier we met 17-year-old water skier Charlotte,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06who's taking on the world record
0:13:06 > 0:13:10for the fastest 100 metre water-ski towed by a rowing boat.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14The rowers and Charlotte only met for the first time this morning
0:13:14 > 0:13:16and in practice it proved to be a proper challenge
0:13:16 > 0:13:19to keep Charlotte upright in the water because, of course,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22they can't go as fast as a motor boat.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Will they get the record?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Whilst they make their preparations, let's check out the rules.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Up to eight rowers are allowed in the boat and Charlotte
0:13:31 > 0:13:34must be in the water and skiing by the starting line.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Remember, to get the record they have to beat the frighteningly
0:13:37 > 0:13:41quick time of 100 metres in 19.58 seconds.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Official adjudicator Justine is standing by on the bank.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47We are good to go.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50The rowers are ready. Charlotte is being taken out to meet them.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Those two red-orange buoys just there, next to each other,
0:13:54 > 0:13:55that's the start point.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58100 metres from there, hopefully, we'll have a new world record.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Charlotte's in position and the rowers are gathering speed.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04This is the tricky bit.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08The motorboat needs to go the same speed as the rowers.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Then when the speed is right for Charlotte,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13the rowers take the strain and...here we go!
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Nice work. She's up.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20The timer will start when she passes the red buoys.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- KLAXON SOUNDS - They are off!
0:14:23 > 0:14:28'Come on!' The Imperial College team are keeping nice even strokes.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Remember, she needs to stay up for the full 100 metres.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Can she keep absorbing those pulls?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Oh! A slight wobble but she's still going!
0:14:39 > 0:14:41So impressive after the shaky practice earlier.
0:14:41 > 0:14:4419.58 seconds to beat.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47You don't get this sort of tension in the boat race.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51And the end is in sight! Can Charlotte hold on?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53She must be exhausted!
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Keep it going! - KLAXON SOUNDS
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Wow! They completed the full 100 metres
0:14:57 > 0:15:01with Charlotte managing to stay up on her skis.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05That in itself is amazing but was it fast enough?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Ben to Justine. Can you read me?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- I can hear you. - Fantastic. Have you got a time?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14I do.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21The time was 16.87 and a new Guinness World Records title.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- Guys! New world record! - THEY CHEER
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Brilliant! They have only been working together since this morning
0:15:29 > 0:15:32but Charlotte and the Imperial College rowing team
0:15:32 > 0:15:34have smashed the world record by nearly three seconds.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- Congratulations, guys. - THEY CHEER
0:15:38 > 0:15:42'Big celebrations from the team and deservedly so.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47'I might even join them. Yeah, I meant to do that.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49'Anyway. Time for a song, I think.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Quick warning. The following animation contains poos with eyes.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57# Don't get too close cos this stuff is gross
0:15:57 > 0:16:02# Your brain might need adjusting cos these records are disgusting
0:16:02 > 0:16:05# So look away quick cos you might feel kind of sick
0:16:05 > 0:16:10# They'll make your toes curl The grossest records in the world
0:16:12 > 0:16:17# Well take a look at this old puke I bet you're mesmerised
0:16:17 > 0:16:22# It came out of an ichthyosaur and now it's fossilised
0:16:22 > 0:16:25# Gherman Titov went to space to hang with stars and comets
0:16:25 > 0:16:27# But he felt queasy in the galaxy
0:16:27 > 0:16:30# And so he was the first man in space to vomit
0:16:30 > 0:16:34# Well many people know that burping shouldn't make you proud
0:16:34 > 0:16:38# But Brit Paul Hunn had some fun by burping really loud
0:16:40 > 0:16:44# Elisa Cagnoni from Italy is the loudest burping lady
0:16:44 > 0:16:48# Louder than a pneumatic drill Those burping guys are crazy
0:16:48 > 0:16:53# Don't get too close cos this stuff is gross
0:16:53 > 0:16:57# Your brain might need adjusting cos these records are disgusting
0:16:57 > 0:17:01# So look away quick cos you might feel kind of sick
0:17:01 > 0:17:07# They'll make your toes curl The grossest records in the world
0:17:07 > 0:17:10# This one sounds absurd but that is just how it goes
0:17:10 > 0:17:15# Paul Prado blew out a marshmallow from deep within his nose
0:17:15 > 0:17:19# Sophia caught it in her mouth to be a record-breaker
0:17:19 > 0:17:21# Don't try that one at home
0:17:21 > 0:17:24# No matter how hard anybody tries to make you
0:17:24 > 0:17:27# Don't get too close cos this stuff is gross
0:17:27 > 0:17:32# Your brain might need adjusting cos these records are disgusting

0:17:36 > 0:17:41# They'll make your toes curl The grossest records in the world. #
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- HE BURPS - Oh, really!
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Last series we met some seriously hungry record breakers
0:17:59 > 0:18:03but this time we're taking things to the next level.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07We've scoured the globe to find three record-breaking colossi
0:18:07 > 0:18:10and in each show they will attempt to break a record
0:18:10 > 0:18:12that you too can try at home.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Together they are...
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Representing America, say hello to US Ray.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Maintenance man by day and maintenance man asleep by night.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31He holds the record for backflipping into a pair of trousers.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Pant-splittingly brilliant.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- US Ray!- US Ray!- US Ray!- US Ray!
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Representing the UK, it's Sizzlin' Steve.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Last series he broke two world records
0:18:45 > 0:18:48and now he's desperate to get his hankering hands on more.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Are you feeling confident?- No.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- RECORD SCRATCH - Good.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Finally let's go to Japan where Haruka is about to introduce
0:18:57 > 0:19:00our third and final competitor.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Konnichiwa, everybody.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Are you ready for my ninja of top scores,
0:19:09 > 0:19:14my samurai of challenges, my warrior of the record ways?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Here he is, Cherry-san!
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Shy, retiring Cherry has spangly underpants
0:19:25 > 0:19:30and a penchant for breaking records for his home country of Japan.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34The record our three warriors are attempting today is...
0:19:39 > 0:19:41They will be trying to beat each other
0:19:41 > 0:19:44and the current world record of...
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Let's find out about Mr Cherry's tactics for this event.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53SHE SPEAKS JAPANESE
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Is it easier if you had bigger hands?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Like, for example, Steve and Ray may have bigger hands than you.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- TRANSLATION:- Japanese people may have small hands
0:20:06 > 0:20:10but really we use our quick thinking to win the competition.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13We compete with our brains.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Well, whatever it is it's going to be a messy one so here are the rules.
0:20:17 > 0:20:23The water container and the measuring cylinder must be one metre apart.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27The table must be flat and only the hands must be used to move the water.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Adjudicator, are you ready? - Definitely.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Cherry-san, how are you feeling?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- TRANSLATION:- I can do it! I can do it!- Ready.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Three, two, one, go.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44'And he is off! Look at that! Lovely technique.'
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Look at the watery concentration on those chops of his.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50'Let's take in some of the atmosphere.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53'Lovely!'
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Some precious H2O escaping from his fingers there.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Does that open the door for the US and the UK?
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Come on, Mr Cherry. Your 30 seconds are almost up.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- Stop.- 'It's a marvellous effort but has he done enough?'
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Don't forget, this is something you can try at home.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Just don't do it on your mum's best rug.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23While official adjudicator Aya checks the water,
0:21:23 > 0:21:26let's see what Sizzlin' Steve and US Ray can do.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- Three, two, one.- Go! - Move the water!
0:21:30 > 0:21:33That's right. Don't be afraid to get wet.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Let's go.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Good technique from my man Ray. He's got smaller hands though.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41That could work against him.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48'Over in the UK, Steve is getting his water all over the table.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- 'Very messy. Typical student.' - 15 seconds.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Can these two compete with the might of Mr Cherry?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Try and get it in the tube, yeah?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- 'Hm, he's not listening.' - 20 seconds.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- Go, Sizzler! - Five, four, three, two, one.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Stop. Time's up.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- All right! How are you feeling? - I feel all right.- Good.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18The adjudicators measure how much water our warriors have moved.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Who has won and might we have a new world record?
0:22:22 > 0:22:26In third place is the USA with US Ray's pitiful...
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Less than half the amount required.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34And in second place it's the UK,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37with Sizzlin' Steve's 600 millilitres.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42So today's winner is Japan and it's victory for Mr Cherry.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46But has he beaten the current world record of 1259ml?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52And you have achieved...
0:22:52 > 0:22:551640 millilitres!
0:22:55 > 0:22:59That's a new Guinness World Record. Congratulations.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01HE SHOUTS
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- TRANSLATION: - I did it!
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Water, please!
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- I'm number one! - A new watery world record.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Well done, Mr Cherry,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20who has already made a splash in the first event of our global challenge.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22The boys will be back to fight it out again
0:23:22 > 0:23:25for another record next time.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- TRANSLATION:- That's right! I'm the champion!
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- The champion of the world! - And now something...
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Where do cows go on a Saturday night? To the moovies.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46RECORD SCRATCH
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Joke telling is a skill, an artform, if you like.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52You've either got it or you haven't.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Telling jokes is a serious business
0:23:55 > 0:23:58and they don't come any more serious about comedy than the man
0:23:58 > 0:24:01who calls himself the Black Jester,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04purely because of his mask and a jester costume.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08I think we'll stick with his real name, Kevin.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11And he will of course be attempting a joke telling record today.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15So I met up with Kevin in that renowned comedy arena of dreams...
0:24:15 > 0:24:18the London dungeons?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21So, what is it you are trying to do today?
0:24:21 > 0:24:27- I am trying to break the record for the most jokes in 60 seconds.- OK.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Speed, consistency, humour are all things that you need to possess.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- Exactly.- Can you do it?- I hope so.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- BEN LAUGHS - I'm laughing already!
0:24:37 > 0:24:42- Here's one for you. Knock, knock. - Come in, Ben.- No, Al.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Ah, you've ruined it.- Sorry.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Whatever. Here are the rules.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Each gag must have a set-up and a punch line.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Every joke has to get some laughter from the audience to count
0:24:53 > 0:24:56and he must tell the jokes from memory.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Kevin has 60 seconds to tell as many jokes as he can
0:25:00 > 0:25:05and he needs to beat 24 to break the current Guinness World Record.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07The audience are gathered.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11An unusual crowd, some of whom have travelled from a distant century.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Their laughter is currently contained.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18'Kevin, it's time to bring on that funny.'
0:25:18 > 0:25:24- On my count. Three, two, one, go. - What's brown and sticky? A stick.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? A stick.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31What's wobbly and flies through the air? A jelly copter.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34What's red, sticky and bites people? A jampire.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36It's a strong start!
0:25:36 > 0:25:40What do you give an injured lemon? Lemonade.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Why are graveyards so loud? Because of all the coffin.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Two television aerials got married. The reception was great.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52What do you call a cowboy with no money? Skint Eastwood.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57CAR BRAKES SQUEAL
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- Erm...- Oh, no!
0:25:59 > 0:26:03We are in a dungeon and this must be torture for Kevin.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07It's every comic's worst nightmare, the memory blank!
0:26:07 > 0:26:13Come on, Kevin. Quip, and quickly. You've got 24 to beat.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Fire exits. They're on the way out, aren't they?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17That's my jester!
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Doctor, I feel like a pair of curtains. Pull yourself together.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Doctor, I feel like a bridge. What's come over you?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Doctor, I feel like I'm two people. One at a time, please.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Doctor, I feel like I'm invisible... - STOP!
0:26:29 > 0:26:33OK. That was it. That's the minute.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36It's tense after all that laughter, isn't it?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Well done, Kevin. A strong finish but was it enough?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Let's hear from official adjudicator Kirsty
0:26:43 > 0:26:46to find out if he has a new world record.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Unfortunately, Kevin didn't quite break the record.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51THEY GROAN
0:26:51 > 0:26:54But he did get a really good reaction from the audience
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- so that's a positive. - 'Every crowd has a silver lining.'
0:26:58 > 0:27:02He managed a respectable 15 jokes but that stumble
0:27:02 > 0:27:04left him short of the 24 required.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09'At least he's had the last laugh cos that's the end of the show.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11See you next time for more
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Officially Amazing record attempts like these.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17# Nut butt crack man Cherry's back with a record for Japan
0:27:17 > 0:27:22# He beat Sizzlin' Steve and US Ray with his mighty watery hands
0:27:22 > 0:27:26# Brodie's disks when flying but was Al really trying?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28# Kevin had a brain freeze
0:27:28 > 0:27:31# Liangming had a cloak of bees
0:27:31 > 0:27:33# And the rowers towed a waterskiing lady
0:27:35 > 0:27:37# It's all Officially Amazing! #
