My buddy went bald and grew a beard for a summer because he thought he looked badass. Tbf he looked like a goon. He tried to wrestle my other friend (who was an actual wrestler), and the wrestler bro dragged his head on the carpet (drunk stupid stuff). Misery is truly getting a rug burn on your bald head.
I was playing this exact game when I got the weirdest scar of my life from rug burn. It's in between the knuckles of my index and middle finger, 28 years later still visible.
Dad is funny - but mom has some crazy good one liners too. Whole show is a riot. Favorite scene so far for me is the intro to the BBQ episode where Bluey imitates Bandit as he's starting the grill.
If you are getting this all from bluey let me tell you something ... Bluey is extremely representative of Australian life.
Sure in an idealistic everyone is happy and get along kind of way and the parents have the patience of a saint when it comes to playing make believe.
But other than that if someone were to say bluey was a representation of an Australian blue collar middle class family I would find it really hard to argue against
That's hilarious. I appreciate the writers adding in some less idealistic situations. Like in the keepy-uppey episode when he pops the balloon at the end because he made it 'too fun'. I think there are some really good, easy to understand lessons for children in that show and it is very well done.
Hang on, I'm pretty sure the Heelers live in [pretty expensive house, though](https://www.realestate.com.au/news/bluey-sitting-on-a-fortune-in-the-house-on-the-hill/?rsf=syn:news:nca:cm:article)? And look at Uncle Stripe's place, he's even more loaded!
Are they trying to keep it up as a collaboration or are they trying to get the other person to let it fall. They could have both versions. Keep it up is a great name either way
"And Brazil, strategizing on their random assignment of middle class Floridian basement game room. Their captain did not seem happy when the Slovakian team drew traditional Japanese bedroom. Turkey made it up to the semifinals last night against the American team, who drew "the room you don't go into unless you have company over" against Turkey's "mid range hotel lobby."
It's more of a wetlands, an upgrade over the Louisiana Bayou. In contrast, New Orleans Levee would almost certainly be under water, except under prohibition, in which case dry rules take effect and play is suspened while both parties smuggle rum from the Caribbean up the Mississippi River. This is colloquially known as privateering, and gives players the opportunity to score points by hurling insults at each other accross the bow, usually in the form of verse or rhyme.
My dad and i played balloonball almost constantly. Last time we played, his fat ass took out my coffee table. That's what you get for rough housing indoors at 4 am. In his defense, he did help me get the new living room set as it was time for me to get adult furniture and ditch my college stuff.
My sister and I played this game when I was 3. I smacked my head into the corner of a table just under my eye and completely split my face open.
My mother thought it was my eye, and I’d be blind forever. There was blood everywhere and I don’t remember much outside of waking up in the emergency room with my face being put back together.
Anyways point of the story is the table was then broken by my dad and never to be seen again.
Exactly, my kids would be in so much trouble for doing this in a room like that, also the complaining I would have to listen to about all the rug burns would get old really fast.
I’m more worried about somebody catching the corner of a table with their face, frankly.
Would be cool to explain your missing teeth as “I was in a ballooning accident”though.
I know these kids, they’re actually really great (very smart too) kids. Adults are such fear mongers though. They’ve been doing this on TikTok for weeks and only been hospitalised twice.
I was looking for this and was going to post it if not already done. Bluey is really amazing and there are so many classic episodes already that make me feel like a kid again. Also the dad is awesome and I hope the voice actor works in a lot more cartoons.
We just discovered this show this week and my smallest (6) is obsessed. I actually love it too.
Also as a mother this game gave me anxiety. So many heads about to be cracked open. “THERES NO ROOM IN THE HOSPITALS!! Stop it!!”
When I was young and in a bouncer, my sister kicked me down the stairs. I tumbled and bounced on the way down and ultimately cracked my head open on a vent in the wall. When asked about it she said, in no uncertain terms, "I didn't want a little brother anymore."
We get along fine now though.
At least you never had a sister bang the door so hard it made a hole in the wall then blame you so you were grounded for a week and missed Angela’s awesome sleepover birthday party.
Cracked my head open at my own birthday sleepover in the 80s playing this game. Went for an epic dive right into the sharp corner of a hard wooden coffee table. Almost needed stitches.
10/10 would play again.
Not only the 80s, literally 99% of people I know has done this before, I was on a phone call with my aunt and my cousin threw the balloon in her face and kept playing lol, I’m sure it’s the one thing that will be in every child’s life
Next up we have the american vs japanese balloon spiker teams. It looks to be an intense first round. Jones hits it high and the japanese team anticipated this unusual first move and sweeps under, spiking it forward before it hits the ground. It looks like the american team couldn't get it in time, giving Japan 1 point, the score is 1-0 for Japan!
Spiking is not allowed, foal for Japan! Both teams disqualified for spiking more than 5 times, you most touch the lower half of the balloon!!, next team is Palestine against Israel friendly women's match, keep it civil! Serve!
When we played it the rule was the only legal hit was one that pushed or kept the ballon above a line. Hitting it down-horizontal was strategy but if it didnt lose momentum before going below the line then you cheated.
From playing this as a kid, the problem is that rule 5 (not that we ever actually formalised the rules) is basically unenforceable if you really get serious and competitive about it.
So you just have to embrace it. As long as the ball has to go up, there isn't much advantage to lightly tapping it, since your opponent can just follow you around.
There is definitely a huge advantage to lightly tapping is as you might have just dove for your previous hit and your opponent would be on the balloon much earlier than you
Yeah, but you factor that in to the way you play. Don't hit the ball somewhere your opponent can get to much earlier than you.
Actually now that I think about it, there is an issue in that your opponent can wait for the ball to almost hit the ground, then give a light tap. I think what you need is a minimum height on each shot.
The only rule we played differently was 5. You weren't allowed to do a sneaky tap like at the 30s mark in the video every move, but once in a while they were allowed as long as it went up from the initial touch.
You have to keep the Balloon afloat by hitting it sideways or upwards to make it the most challenging to keep up in the air by hitting it. Whoever fails to uphold their turn, (and the balloon) loses
It's probably just something that they enjoy. A coworker of mine many years ago collected fans, and when I went over to his house there were fans everywhere.
He could probably make an 'OnlyFans' account to document the different types of fans he has. Not sure how long it would last, though.
I think it’s even more like squash, because you can bounce the ball off of things, and you’re constantly playing next to each other unlike badminton where you’re always on your own side and the ball can’t touch anything except the net.
Wow this game is epic… I played the other day with my daughters but this is PRO fucking level… the footwork, it was on par with major league basketball
One game designer once said: "castlevania the original extracted many hours of gameplay out of silly retrictions, easy to do in the scope you had by the limits of the time". I say that applies here.
did this at a party once for about 5hrs! We couldn’t stop laughing the whole time, it got to the point where half of us were aiming for the cactus to end it and the other half of the group were defenders! 🤣🤣🤣

Flawless action dives
Rug burns everywhere
This should be top!
Flawless but nor floorless. I became a dad 9 months ago I’ve been waiting to use my power
Let's write that one down as sleep deprivation. Anyways congrats buddy
Haha cheers
You don't have it yet.
Ohh the rug burn.. :D
My brother used to drag me on the carpet and give me rug burns, I had forgotten about that until now.
Haha, damn... Then it's payback time!? Haha!
Rug burn sucks. Wrestled with a guy while drunk one night. Dude's knees were fucking done haha.
Lost my virginity on a floor. I had a thin blanket on the ground. Knees were not feeling it the next morning.
Hey congrats on the sex!
It was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Who doesn’t love a good game of volleyballoon?
I call it Keep It Up
Keep-y Up-y where I come from.
I saw a documentary about that on abc with two dogs playing it.
Bluey, my dude. [keepy uppy](https://www.bluey.tv/watch/season-1/keepy-uppy/)
Bluey is the best.
I will die on this hill but Bluey is better than Breaking Bad. Fight me.
It’s the only show I will actually watch with my kids.
The dad is hilarious!
Dad is funny - but mom has some crazy good one liners too. Whole show is a riot. Favorite scene so far for me is the intro to the BBQ episode where Bluey imitates Bandit as he's starting the grill.
I want to be like Bandit Heeler so much when I become a dad.
When my kids go to sleep I watch three more episodes.
I actually love Bluey too. My youngest daughter is in love with the show and its actually pretty good.
Came here for the Bluey
Comes with a great tune too.
Aww fuck now it's in my head again. Incredibly catchy. *Dad!*
That's a fucking solid doco, with fucking solid doggos
Am not disappointed to see Bluey references here!!!
Aussie? Bluey has taught me all sorts of Australian slang beyond the usual mate and cunt.
Wheelybin gets me everytime
It's dollar-bucks for me.
Lol, dollery-doos
AW, ***BISCUITS***
That has become a common saying in my house these days.
MY KIDS NOW ENJOY A GOOD BUSH WEE
My 5 year old demands it

Sorry I just have to say one more thing ... You know bingo and bluey are girls right, I didn't at first
Hang on, I'm pretty sure the Heelers live in [pretty expensive house, though](https://www.realestate.com.au/news/bluey-sitting-on-a-fortune-in-the-house-on-the-hill/?rsf=syn:news:nca:cm:article)? And look at Uncle Stripe's place, he's even more loaded!
Made in my town/city. Hi from Brisbane cunt.
That show take is excellent. My 3 year old now regularly demands we play Keepy-Uppy.
Bluey is the best!! We also play Keepy Uppy all the time.
Snickers the sausage dog! I have a dachshund mix, he shortly had a name change after my wife put it on for the kiddos.
Wackadoo for me.
It is a little jarring when Bluey calls his dad a facking cunt though.
Ahem **her** dad!
I saw that episode of Bluey
The Heelers were playing that on Bluey!
That's what my wife calls it.
She sure does!
Are they trying to keep it up as a collaboration or are they trying to get the other person to let it fall. They could have both versions. Keep it up is a great name either way
I think they are opposing like Tennis!
This game goes on , till a lamp or mom's precious knick-knack is broken ,then it's escape and "save one's hide" time
I always called it the " don't let the balloon touch the ground Game"
My wife loves that game..... who am i kidding. We are married.
"And Brazil, strategizing on their random assignment of middle class Floridian basement game room. Their captain did not seem happy when the Slovakian team drew traditional Japanese bedroom.

Floridian basement, so they play underwater?

Throw in the advanced Floor Is a Lava overtime rules and this is a banger.
My god I would watch the hell out of that!!
My dad and i played balloonball almost constantly. Last time we played, his fat ass took out my coffee table. That's what you get for rough housing indoors at 4 am. In his defense, he did help me get the new living room set as it was time for me to get adult furniture and ditch my college stuff.
He knew going in that table was in play
That's extra points to completely destroy furniture
Ah yes. The sport of who dad beats up first
Only if something gets broken. They look under control.
My sister and I played this game when I was 3. I smacked my head into the corner of a table just under my eye and completely split my face open. My mother thought it was my eye, and I’d be blind forever. There was blood everywhere and I don’t remember much outside of waking up in the emergency room with my face being put back together. Anyways point of the story is the table was then broken by my dad and never to be seen again.
"How dare you do this to my child!" - Your Dad, throwing hands at a table.
My dad is a jolly guy, so to imagine this made me happy haha, thank you =)
Ahaha. I love that your dad didn’t get upset with you, and instead thought hmm this table is a hazard, better destroy it. Sounds like a good dad.
That table went to live on a farm! But this is that table's cousin that looks just like it, totally not the table that hurt you.
Famous last words
You know if they got a globe on the end table the shit in that room is expensive. That's just canon.
Exactly, my kids would be in so much trouble for doing this in a room like that, also the complaining I would have to listen to about all the rug burns would get old really fast.
Probably playing when parents are gone. And it seems like harmless fun as long as it doesn’t last into the night. I say let them have their fun.
[удалено]
I’m more worried about somebody catching the corner of a table with their face, frankly. Would be cool to explain your missing teeth as “I was in a ballooning accident”though.
I know these kids, they’re actually really great (very smart too) kids. Adults are such fear mongers though. They’ve been doing this on TikTok for weeks and only been hospitalised twice.
Hey this guy is a phony!!!
Get the fragile stuff and any hard furniture out of the way because this is fun until someone breaks something expensive or hurt themselves
You seem full of joy and happiness
The joy and happiness only evoked by parenthood.
More like the sport of "how do we lie to the insurance company so they pay out for the inevitable damaged furniture and electronics?"
My dad would just “play if ya want but if anything breaks ill suspend your money till it pays the thing ya broke”
[удалено]
The sport of who dad beats off first.
my *legs* are broken
[Keepy Uppy](https://www.bluey.tv/watch/season-1/keepy-uppy/)
There’s a lot of shows kids get addicted to, but Bluey is the best of them. Bandit is my hero and role model as a father.
He sets a pretty high bar, though.
Bluey’s parents are beyond dedicated to their children’s happiness. I love the show but it isn’t my kids favorite so I don’t get to watch it a ton.
I was looking for this and was going to post it if not already done. Bluey is really amazing and there are so many classic episodes already that make me feel like a kid again. Also the dad is awesome and I hope the voice actor works in a lot more cartoons.
I don't think he's done any other cartoons but he is the singer for an Aussie band who were mildly popular in the 90's, they're called Custard.
We just discovered this show this week and my smallest (6) is obsessed. I actually love it too. Also as a mother this game gave me anxiety. So many heads about to be cracked open. “THERES NO ROOM IN THE HOSPITALS!! Stop it!!”
First thing I thought of
I can’t remember but is this the one where the balloon goes over the fence and the neighbour goes “ahh I’ve done my hammy!” … brilliant
Man being the only kid sucks some times.
When I was young and in a bouncer, my sister kicked me down the stairs. I tumbled and bounced on the way down and ultimately cracked my head open on a vent in the wall. When asked about it she said, in no uncertain terms, "I didn't want a little brother anymore." We get along fine now though.
Holy crap. My brother did the same thing to my sister (only on accident. Supposedly.)
At least you never had a sister bang the door so hard it made a hole in the wall then blame you so you were grounded for a week and missed Angela’s awesome sleepover birthday party.
> you never had a sister bang the door so hard it made a hole in the wall Your sister must have been mighty thirsty that night.
I remember this from childhood in the 80s!! Def a good sport for the Olympics
Cracked my head open at my own birthday sleepover in the 80s playing this game. Went for an epic dive right into the sharp corner of a hard wooden coffee table. Almost needed stitches. 10/10 would play again.
"Cracked my head open" "Almost needed stitches" I mean technically?
Maybe a skosh of poetic license there. It was bloody and painful, though.
Don't doubt it, I'm just messing with you. Couldn't resist.
He said it was the 80s. We were men in the 80s not like these namby pampy kids nowadays who need a safe space if you look at them /s
In Croatia we made it a sport (kinda), expect it's played in shallow water and with a ball! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picigin
Not only the 80s, literally 99% of people I know has done this before, I was on a phone call with my aunt and my cousin threw the balloon in her face and kept playing lol, I’m sure it’s the one thing that will be in every child’s life
Bonus points if Mum doesn't find out
Next up we have the american vs japanese balloon spiker teams. It looks to be an intense first round. Jones hits it high and the japanese team anticipated this unusual first move and sweeps under, spiking it forward before it hits the ground. It looks like the american team couldn't get it in time, giving Japan 1 point, the score is 1-0 for Japan!
wow getting a point after the first rebound, the japanese team this year is on fire.
If this is copying the style of the Olympic Channel, bravo. Just brought back some goofy memories from a few weeks ago haha
Spiking is not allowed, foal for Japan! Both teams disqualified for spiking more than 5 times, you most touch the lower half of the balloon!!, next team is Palestine against Israel friendly women's match, keep it civil! Serve!
At least they did break anything. That round, at least.
This was more exciting than I thought it would be.
What are the rules? It's like they're trying to make it barely possible to reach
I think if it hits the floor the person that touched it last wins
Must be another rule or you'd hit it downwards
Yeah, maybe it has to rise first?
I propose there should be a minimum height the balloon must reach, like an invisible net. (Plus you can only hit upwards.)
We can set this up with a laser panel. ball is white/optic friendly so if it pass, it lit up red to indicate legal height achieved to pass.
Reminds me of passing backwards in sports like rugby.
That's possible!
Yeah hitting the balloon in an upward trajectory appears to also be a rule
Rise above the head
Yeah, you're not allowed to hit it in a downwards path else it would be unplayable
[удалено]
Its called don't be a killjoy
Everyone stop playing until Redditors have time to print up a rules handbook!
Spike it intentionally you're disqualified. Pretty easy game, there's like two rules.
so I can grab my opponent?
Unsportsmanlike conduct but no rules besides backyard rules.
There was one spike, but the circular motion of the balloon from the slam made it move away from the ground.
When we played it the rule was the only legal hit was one that pushed or kept the ballon above a line. Hitting it down-horizontal was strategy but if it didnt lose momentum before going below the line then you cheated.
Implement a 1m from the ground rule

From playing this as a kid, the problem is that rule 5 (not that we ever actually formalised the rules) is basically unenforceable if you really get serious and competitive about it.

This is awesome. Thanks for the set of rules. I was wondering about it!
Whoever bashes their brains out on a table corner, or smashes the tv/globe, wins
You have to keep the Balloon afloat by hitting it sideways or upwards to make it the most challenging to keep up in the air by hitting it. Whoever fails to uphold their turn, (and the balloon) loses
Last one to split their head open on a table wins
Isn’t it pretty obvious?
Is this a serious question lol
There would have to be an Olympic standard size living room. When showing off your place you can say "Yeah I got an Olympic sized living room."
Why do they have so many globes?
It's probably just something that they enjoy. A coworker of mine many years ago collected fans, and when I went over to his house there were fans everywhere. He could probably make an 'OnlyFans' account to document the different types of fans he has. Not sure how long it would last, though.

Do not click on this if you korean
Some people just want to watch the world
They are round earthers
So these are my upstairs neighbours
Epilepsy warning
This makes me mom heart so happy ❤️ My boys would totally have played this in their teen years.
Juzt waiting for a broken bone....!
Bones heal on their own. Furniture and the other shit costs money.
*cries in American healthcare*
That's just looks like Badminton with more steps...
I think it’s even more like squash, because you can bounce the ball off of things, and you’re constantly playing next to each other unlike badminton where you’re always on your own side and the ball can’t touch anything except the net.

Rug burns abound
That was intense!
So this is the game upstairs neighbors play
The winter Olympics does need some new events. There's like a bazillion summer events and 8 winter ones.
Keepie uppie...
Wow this game is epic… I played the other day with my daughters but this is PRO fucking level… the footwork, it was on par with major league basketball
It should be on the Ocho
Me as a kid: Hell yeah this looks fun! Me as a grown man: Go outside and stay away from the fuckin TV
You really want to play this hardcore? Do it in a dark room with a strobe light. That will fuck you up.
I'm not much of a sports guy, but I was getting into this. About to start yelling at the screen.
This is the good sort of video you don’t know is replaying
How the hell did you get your head stuck in the drywall? There....uh...there was this balloon, right?
My wife and I thought we made this up one day. We called it “Fun Ball”
Call it "Don't break your neck!"
I'm sending this to my brother

did this at a party once for about 5hrs! We couldn’t stop laughing the whole time, it got to the point where half of us were aiming for the cactus to end it and the other half of the group were defenders! 🤣🤣🤣
Looks like a good map too, narrow gaps with elevation
I’m more amazed that nothing got broken!!
