Anyone watch this?

I thought it was a bit hopeless, especially with the faults with all electronics. Pretty poor form by SBS.

They were a bit disorganised as well, hopefully they can get their act together as the Cup goes on. There is a need of a satirical football show whilst the WC is on and hopefully they pull their socks up and get it together.

What everyone else think (if they saw it, obviously)?

I liked it - it was very ad lib and you expect the early shows to have the odd teething problem. They won't have the budget of other channels - but the material was quite good.

My only concern is how many jokes they can make - 32 days worth of material will be a stretch even for a 30 minute show.

 

[ErnieSigley]

Its a format already tried and trusted to work. Would have thought 30min is not enough.

It was Graham Kennedy style ad-lib .. rehearsed ad-libs, but that's okay so long as it's funny. I got a chuckle out of it, and I think it will do okay, especially once the matches have started and they can spend their time talking about what happened rather than inventing stuff.

Good effort I thought.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Quite funny. Late Show-esque.

 

[RevDog]

I didn't mind it, got a bit of a laugh and will watch again.

I like a lot of Ed's work, back from the 'Get This' days.

 

[grimlock]

The best part was when they stuffed up the technical bits. OH wait, that was the whole show.

I used to love the Baddiel and Skinner World Cup shows.

I used to love the Baddiel and Skinner World Cup shows.

My favourite memory of the '98 WC.

As for last night, well, even Viduka wasn't sure if they were putting it on. Fun to watch.

 

[HSSB]

Meh, it's okay, some of the things they do/say are funny. The Bresciano diary scene was hilarious.

I kind of like the show actually. I think we have to reserve judgement for a few days at least in any case. They'll warm up as the WC gets going.

 

[Wallaby]

I used to love the Baddiel and Skinner World Cup shows.

Most of the Phoenix From The Flames segments are up on Youtube. Well worth a search.

My favorite are the Johan Neeskens 'Hard Drugs on the Ground?', and the Irish one (cant remember the player).

You can see where the Toyota boys got some of their inspiration from (and I'm not starting an argument over which ones are better - both are good).

 

[B_GLassi]

Kim jong Il was good.

 

[legend166]

Tony Martin = awesome.

 

[Kaan]

Nice show but do they have a budget of 50 bucks?

 

[bigburger]

These guys are pretty good. I'm a fan.

 

[Kaan]

Parking the bus joke went on far too long

 

[Father Jack]

no it didn't. i look forward to more of it.

 

[handy point]

didn't see it, but if it's anything like the baddiel/skinner late 90's show, i'll tune in next time. When SBS filled the gaps between games with that and The Fast Show, it was a genius programming move.

 

[thebigboy]

The fact that there has been 2 "Get This" references on here means I'm highly intrigued and want to watch it.

This is dizzy stuff folkes.

 

[jimmy_clement#8]

Ripping little half hour show. Very basic, very under prepared, very under a lot of things, but short, sharp, unpretentious.

Winner.

And yeah, bring on more Get This references.

 

[r dub 19]

Fan early

 

[Kompany]

Watched it for the first time last night - was very funny

 

[wally funk]

like a low budget Roy and HG during the olympics. getting more polished as each day comes, and very funny stuff from the boys
