This Shark Olympics video is a hilarious and very silly tribute to the Olympic games.
With Shark Week coming up and the Games coming to a close, this mix-up is perfectly timed and sure to please pop culture junkies. The video shows a man dressed as a shark enduring a slew of different Olympic events, from judo to swimming. Though he is hardly capable at competing in any of these events, viewers will get a kick at the over-the-top humor used in the clip, and the ridiculousness of the costuming.
Though sharks will likely never have a place in the Olympics, this video is a fun and light-hearted reminder of what will be dominating televisions in the near future.
