PEDESTRIAN.TV has teamed up with KFC, who are hosting a comp atm that allows y’all to have your videos from the Home Cricket Ground (i.e. your backyards) commentated by funny dudes Fitzy & Wippa. Below’s a bunch of games that’d be perfect for it.
Yet we keep going out anyway because homebodies tend to sit nicely in the boring corner of social expectations, but homebodies aren’t necessarily boring people – some of the most wild humans I know literally don’t leave the same backyard for days on end.
Because staying in is the new going out and all that jazz, we’re proposing some top-notch activities to get done in your own humble abode – because it beats sending your money into that cruel abyss now, doesn’t it?
1. SLIP N’ SLIDE
DGAF if you don’t have a pool – relive your childhood with a slip n’ slide. If you’ve got plastic sheeting and a hose then you’re set, and if you’ve got detergent whack that in too so y’can get real slippery. The whole ordeal can get messy pretty quickly with adult limbs and all, so don’t shy away from protective gear. Sometimes we just can’t bounce back like we used to.
2. PONG
It’s always a hoot releasing your inner Forrest Gump on the ping pong table (or your inner fraternity brother on the beer pong circuit). Even for the people who aren’t actually playing it’s a grand ol’ time to watch / and psyche people out.
3. DARE JENGA
It’s basically like normal jenga only like, actually good. Write dares of your choice on certain pieces of wood so that when people pull them out, they have to act accordingly. Maybe they’ve got to speak in a Scottish accent for the rest of game. Maybe they’ve got to steal a piece without anyone realising. Maybe they’ve got to remove an item of clothing. Maybe they’ve got to tell you the last person they banged. Up to you. Prepare for your opponents weaknesses and take advantage of them, you evil human.
4. WATER BALLOON DODGEBALL
Look, I’ll say it – water balloon fights can be kind of weird. It’s fun for the first couple of hits, but then people hide for ages and the game loses all it’s oomph. To make sure people are getting smashed at all times and always in clear sight, play dodgeball but with water balloons.
5. TWISTER
Whether you just buy the game or create your own on the lawn with paint, Twister is a real goer for getting uncomfortably up close and personal. If it’s with your fam it’s awkward, if it’s with the person you’ve had a mental boner over for years, you’re golden.
6. GIANT MR SQUIGGLE
Whip out a large blackboard or whiteboard, close your eyes and draw a random one-line drawing in under three seconds. Ask your friend to finish the drawing and make it into something half decipherable. The results will be a lol.
7. DRIP DRIP DUNK
It’s kinda like Duck, Duck, Goose. So, gather your crew in a circle but instead of tapping their heads and saying “duck” until you pick the “goose” who will chase you around, you drip a bit of water on everyone’s head until you target someone to dunk the entire thing on. Savage.
8. GOON OF FORTUNE
An Aussie pasttime. You know how it’s done.
9. MAKE A HOME VIDEO
No, not that kind ya sickos.
Too much good shit happens and doesn’t get caught on film, even in the age of the camera phone. Set up a camera in your yard to capture everything that goes down throughout the day – whether that’s Alex giving Sean pash rash, Courtney getting dacked or literally any of the aforementioned games in this article going down.
Once your done you can watch it back for the lols, or submit it to to this comp for KFC where your mates Fitzy & Wippa will kindly commentate it as if it were a sporting match. ‘Sif you’re not curious to see what the end result will be? See examples of other entries here
– the most watched video each week wins $1K, so you might actually make money for staying at home.
Embrace your backyard while it’s hot enough to enjoy it, you guys, and treat it like some would their noggin – with love, affection and regular trimming.
