Canadian YouTuber, MattColbo, offers a hilarious tongue-twisting breakdown of the "how much wood could a woodchuck chuck" question.

Matt Colbo breaks down the theory behind the classic tongue twister with a witty poem which has gone viral on Reddit, racking up over 26,000 upvotes.

Colbo told Newsflare: "I'm not really sure where the idea came from if I'm being honest. The most likely explanation is that I thought of the woodchuck tongue twister and thought, 'hm, let's extend that.'

"That was then followed by a day or so of writing and editing trying to get down a good flow that rhymes and is funny!

"The day prior, I actually hiked up to another location, a good 3 kilometres to get to an even better view. But it was a mix of sun and cloud that day, so nailing the perfect camera settings was impossible by myself, as every time a cloud would pass in front of the sun, it would be too dark or too bright.

"The next day, I practised some more, and went to a much more accessible spot, took about 10 takes and succeeded in five of them!"

This video was filmed in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, on August 9.

A comedic video of a spoken-word poem, an extension of the classic "woodchuck" tongue-twister. Filmed for my youtube channel, MattColbo, and subsequently performed well on reddit.



1. I'm not really sure where the idea came from if i'm being honest hahaha, the most likely explanation is that I thought of the woodchuck tongue twister and thought, "hm, let's extend that". That was then followed by a day or so of writing and editing trying to get down a good flow that rhymes and is funny!
2. Well.. The day prior, I actually hiked up to another location, a good 3 kilometres (with all my camera gear lol) to get to an even better view. But it was a mix of sun and cloud that day, so nailing the perfect camera settings was impossible by myself, as every time a cloud would pass in front of the sun, it would be too dark or too bright. Plus it was 30 degrees so I was drenched in my own sweat lol. AND on top of that, I took about 30 takes and failed on every one. The next day, I practiced some more, and went to a much more accessible spot, took about 10 takes and succeeded in 5 of them!
3. Yes! Mostly my videos like these where I am just sitting talking to a camera aren't poems, they are long explanations leading up to a "your mom" joke, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhCr12Q69eA where I spend 2 minutes explaining in detail what congestive heart failure is, and how it affects one's body, only to tell the audience that considering congestive heart failure leads to extremely rapid weight gain, that MUST be what's happening to your mom (yes, i know, scholarly).
