One of the many reasons Bubble Football has become such a popular group activity is simple, it’s absolutely hilarious. Whether it is a stag party, birthday celebration or corporate event, something ridiculous always happens once players climb into the inflatable bubbles.
At Bubble Soccer World, we’ve hosted thousands of bookings and while every booking is different, there are a few moments that seem to happen almost every time.
Here are some of the funniest things we regularly see during Bubble Football matches.
The First Collision
The moment every player has that first bit is always entertaining and always gets the first laugh of the booking.
Some players start the game cautiously, trying to play football like normal. However, once someone gets the first knockdown, this starts the chaos!
After that first tackle, the entire game changes and everyone starts charging around the pitch try to score goals but more importantly knock down anyone and everyone in their path to scoring!
The Accidental Somersault
One very common moment is when a player is dribbling with the ball at full speed, not noticing and opposing player has them in their sights, gets bumped and suddenly slips upside down.
The inflatable bubble absorbs the impact and the player ends up rolling across the pitch.
The funniest part is usually the attempt to get back up while everyone is in fits of laughter.
The “I Forgot About the Ball” Moment
In a normal football game, the focus is always on the ball and trying to score. In Bubble Football, although trying to score is still an option the main focus is not on the football.
It is surprisingly common to see players chasing each other access the pitch just trying to bump into everyone while the ball sits untouched in the middle of the pitch.
Eventually someone remembers the objective of the game and tries to score.
The Domino Effect
Sometimes a collision can trigger a chain reaction.
One player bump into another, who’ll then fall into another player and before you know it you have three or four players knocking each other down from that first hit.
From the side-lines it looks like a bowling ball knocking over the pins!
The Celebrations That Go Wrong
Scoring a goal can often lead to some dramatic celebrations.
One common celebration is a chest bump; this then leads to the two teammates knocking each other over and giving the other team a numbers advantage while they roll on the floor.
It makes the goal celebration almost as entertaining as the goal itself.
The Player Who Spins in Circles
Because the bubble limits arm movement, turning quickly can sometimes be tricky.
Occasionally a player tries to change direction and ends up spinning slowly on the spot while everyone else runs past them.
It is one of those moments that guarantees laughter from the entire group.
Why Bubble Football Creates So Many Funny Moments
Bubble Football works perfectly for parties because it removes the seriousness from the game.
You don’t need football skills and even the most competitive players quickly realise that staying on your feet is the real challenge.
This is why it’s such a popular activity for stag and hen parties, kids’ birthday celebrations and corporate team building events.
The unpredictable moments are what make every session memorable.
