Thank goodness for the @ANW Akbarism Twitter account! The manager works tirelessly to capture all of Akbar Gbajabiamila’s catch phrases and puns during each episode.
With all the excitement of the Philadelphia City Finals, we knew it was going to be a juicy one! Here are our favorite lines from the night.

Come on Miss Beird - It's NOT recess time yet! No time to play now! #Akbarism @Akbar_Gbaja #AmericanNinjaWarrior #Akbarisms @allyssabeird
