Here’s the Best of Peloton Instructors Reading Filthy Prank Names
There’s nothing more timelessly funny than tricking someone into announcing a fake name that’s secretly sexual in a public setting, or so says comedy philosopher Craven Moorehead.
Regardless of age, race, gender and nationality, there are certain principles of humor that have remained universal throughout the history of comedy. Someone slipping on a banana peel. A fat guy farts in a crowded theater during a dramatic moment. Dick jokes. These simple, repeatable gags form the foundation of our ability to laugh at the world, each other and ourselves, and we will never — I mean NEVER — get tired of playing the hits.
The Simpsons understood these ancient jokes better than any comedy property of the last 50 years, especially when it came to Bart’s continuous torment of poor Moe Szyslak with prank phone calls asking to speak to his dear friends Jacques Strap, Mike Rotch and I’m A Stupid Moron With An Ugly Face and A Big Butt and My Butt Smells and I Like to Kiss My Own Butt.

Meanwhile, the world of interactive, live-streamed fitness classes has apparently taken a page out of Bart’s book, and there is a hilarious epidemic of home exercisers pranking Peloton instructors with raunchy fake names. Here’s a viral compilation of the best of these cardio clowns to get the blood pumping straight to your Drew Peacock:
There’s something especially hilarious about seeing this classic joke play out in a fitness setting — maybe it’s because you can see the exact moment the instructors’ brains catch up with their elevated heart rate. There’s also the upbeat yet drill-sergeant-like tone that’s ubiquitous among spin cycle instructors that makes “Eileen Eulich” hit so much harder and with such great pace. And, honestly, is there anything more comical than watching an athletic, authoritative and completely embarrassed twenty-something slump over her Peloton but continue peddling after realizing she just said “Drew P. Balls” to thousands of subscribers?
Honestly, the opportunity to prank one of these spin masters should be one of the main selling points in all Peloton marketing materials. For just $24 per month, you, too, can treat yourself to an hour of high-intensity cardio in hopes of tripping up instructor Oliver Clozehoff.
