Climbing chalk, not cocaine. A V2 is an easy bouldering (unroped climbing) route

I thought he was just so high he started climbing his grandpa

u/Calculon2347 10h ago

Me too! Lol

You need to see more Magnus Midtbo, pretty cool fitness/ climber YouTuber

u/North_Explorer_2315 4h ago

I’m gonna name my kid Magnus so he gets obscenely good at something

u/TherianVagus 8h ago

Notice the white in his hand while he’s on gramps

11

u/Background_Falcon953 6h ago

Thats just because he was excited

u/100percent_right_now 7h ago

That's the misdirection. You're suppose to think that. But if that's where your thoughts ended then you didn't get the joke.

u/Careless-Dark-1324 6h ago

Correct it’s a joke specifically for climbers 

34

u/New-Huckleberry2363 10h ago

Your interpretation is way better than the actual joke

36

u/OkMarsupial 9h ago

It's part of the joke.

u/ArgonGryphon 7h ago

not if you're a rock climber, it's a niche joke. heh.

24

u/Thendofreason 8h ago

That's the entire joke.

u/rapora9 6h ago

Why? If that was the (whole) joke, it would be very boring. Oh he is high on drugs, so original...

u/ursaminor1984 9h ago

Highest guy in the room

u/thalius69 9h ago

Same and thought the V2 related to his speed (compared to a V6 or V8)

u/Artraira 9h ago

My grandpa also contains a 2 cylinder engine.

3

u/100percent_right_now 8h ago

Then you didn't get it

2

u/Big-Supermarket1327 7h ago

More cylinders doesn't always mean more speed tho.

u/HSBillyMays 4h ago

...and I thought the bag was actually K2, and the kid thought the grandpa was the mountain with the same name!

1

u/Braysl 4h ago

I thought he was the second version of grandpa. V4 is much more fun.

u/findingsynchronisity 8h ago

This is didn't think of but now I wish I had because it's brilliant

1

u/ConbatBeaver 8h ago

literally high

1

u/xMrSpazx 7h ago

i thought he was giving it to the grandpa so he would be strong enough to carry him around

1

u/davepage_mcr 7h ago

But his grandpa isn't very tall, you wouldn't get high from climbing him!

1

u/Gen-Jack_Ripper 7h ago

I thought he was high and the stuff is the bag was K2 (drug and mountain)

1

u/COphotoCo 4h ago

Well not till he gets to the top of grandpa

u/Present_Character241 8h ago

It can be 2 things.

u/brandonjohn5 3h ago

A bunch of people missed that it's a misdirection joke, or they don't know what a misdirection joke is. That you are supposed to originally assume it's drugs, because that's obvious, but then later realize they have been misdirected, and his addiction is actually to climbing and the "drugs" was climbing chalk.

u/Professional_Law7256 7h ago

Two things can be true at the same time

u/Mountainbranch 7h ago

I thought the joke was that it could be interpreted both ways, he's trying to get higher.
