We can’t get enough of these Akbarisms

American Ninja Warrior fans never know what hilarious phrase is going to come out of Akbar Gbaja-Biamila’s mouth, but that’s half the fun of watching, right? The ANW host is so well-known for his witty quips that there’s an entire Twitter account dedicated to the fun and inspirational things he says. (If you’ve been following along for a while and wondering who’s behind the account, we cannot divulge their identity, but Nikki did score a super-secret interview in 2016.)

Thankfully, the folks at ANW recognize how much we love our Akbarisms and put together a compilation from season 8. I think I speak for us all when I say we’d love to see these for each season, but for now, enjoy this video from a couple of years ago:
