How It's Actually Made - Foosball Tables

Foosball tables are named after the German word for soccer. Which, funnily enough, is named football in the rest of the world. Here's how these rec room staples are made

Hey folks. The first upload of this video had a rendering issue that ended up duplicating some audio in the final version. Sorry about that, video should be fine now.

If you happen to spot any other errors, they are absolutely intentional.

In this game, you play as _John Foosball, _ a man who exists solely to kick balls by spinning vertically at uncountable speeds.

I dont have a joke, but I like the idea of tiny men doing this as a job.

Manufacturing Fun Fact: The fixture that holds raw castings in place so they can be machined by the CNC mill is called a tombstone, because it is so heavy it will kill you if one falls on you.

I’m Dutch!
Can confirm that it is called: “Game of tiny men who can’t escape no matter how hard they try.”

[wiesorix]

Yes, as a Dutch speaking person I can confirm: we call this game

1:09 my fathers foosball factory failed because he did not paralyze the tiny men, and some of the smarter ones would often escape overnight, costing us thousands of dollars in fees to hire hunters to hunt them down and kill them - we couldn't let them roam free, because if they made it into public civilized places, they would group together to mass murder children. paralyzing the players is a crucial step in successful foosball table creation

The "your mother joke" and the "they might kiss and stuff" absolutely slayed me. Man, I know these videos have been becoming more stressful to make lately but you really do bring so much joy to so many people. Putting yourself first is absolutely the most important thing, but just know your efforts are not in vain! All of that stress bring smiles to millions man. No matter what you decide to do in the future just know we are all greatful for the laughs.

the making of Foosball tables is so intense it had to be uploaded a second time.

“These crystalline men, if left overnight, may create and entire crystal man ecosystem” my favorite line ever.

"In a process thats more boring than the art style of any comedy cartoon made after 2010."

That... wow thats accurate.

"Whatever - it's good enough"
Huh. I never knew Foosball manufacturing was a Government job.

The faces of the John Foosball’s express unending suffering and agony.

[WestonNey]

I was actually genuinely surprised and impressed how much time and care goes into making one of these quality tables!

[StormBurnX]

"fun fact: every one of these tiny players is named John Foosball"
I was half awake and passing out while watching this and it took me just a few moments too long to realize this was a joke, holy shit what a smooth delivery

[TheAdvertisement]

3:10 Oh no, he's gotten to the existential crisis point.

[danielvalentine]

my favorite tiny aluminum man is John Foosball, not to be confused with his close rival: John Foosball.

Thank you for informing me that it takes exactly 4 minutes and 58 seconds to make foosball tables! I know what I am going to do now.
