Olympic curling memes

Great Odin’s raven! Have you seen the ice? It is pristine! It is magnificent! Every four years, we gather around the television to watch athletes perform the most noble task known to man: aggressively cleaning a floor with a broom while someone yells at a rock. It is poetry in motion! I don’t know the rules! I don’t know what a “hammer” is, but I know that I love it!

These olympic curling memes capture the electricity in the air. You sit there at 2 AM, eating a block of cheese, screaming “SWEEP!” at the screen like you are the coach. It changes you. It makes you believe that you, too, could be an Olympian if you just bought the right shoes and practiced sliding in your kitchen. It is the sport of kings, or at least the sport of people who really like shuffleboard but wish it was colder.

The Winter Games bring out a specific kind of fan mania, where we all suddenly become experts on stone placement and broom friction. We have collected the funniest takes from the internet’s obsession with the most hypnotic sport on ice.

Twitter post from user gillian about being unexpectedly stressed while watching an Olympic curling match.
Short social media post from user Randy about curling leagues trending on Google search during the Olympics.
Social media post from Kailey about being halfway to the Olympics because she is from Duluth, Minnesota.
Twitter post from Lucy Rohden describing curling as a made up sport that is completely and utterly obsessed.
Verified user Josh Reed posting about knowing nothing about curling but watching it for two straight hours.
Whitney Hartman posting about Swiffer Wetjet missing a marketing opportunity by not sponsoring Olympic curling teams.
Social media post from Ed Rose praising a curling player's broom work and impressive forearm strength.
Scott Bryan describing the hypnotic nature of curling television due to its acoustics and minimal action.
Social media post from user greg wondering how fast professional curling players can vacuum their houses.

The tweet about the Swiffer sponsorship is a million-dollar idea. Why are we not funding this? And the hypnotic nature of the sport is real. It is just rocks hitting rocks with a little bit of yelling. It is the ASMR of the sports world. I could watch it for hours, and based on my recent viewing history, I absolutely have.

If you are ready to start your own local league, keep the enthusiasm going. We recommend checking out winter olympics humor, sports fails, and weird sports facts for more athletic entertainment.
