The 12th Man

[j flex roo]

Who here is a fan?

Came across his entire discography recently. Golden.

Love the way he's managed to corner one little part of Aussie sporting culture and made it his. Something so funny out of something obscure.

My favorite is Wired World of Sports II (the one where Max Walker knocks out Ken Sutcliffe and hides him in a cupboard). Of particular relevance for this week are his mock commentaries of the Chinese women swimmers who were doped up in the mid-90's: "Wee Doe-Ping and "Yay Wee-Won". Classic.

Wired World of Sports 1 and 12th man again were my favourites. Still the 12th man was a close 3rd. The one you're referring to was ok in parts but parts dragged on a bit for my liking. The one's after that were ordinary IMO.

'Still the 12th Man' is a classic.

However, I feel 'Boned' is an excellent album. The part where Richie calls heaven to speak with Kerry Packer in a dream is gold.

Max's siege in the commentary box is comedy gold.

Also, from Wired World of Sports... "special comments from the super coach!"

and as usual for croquet fans, we've got **** all for you!

"And for you sailing fans out there, we'll soon have you bored s***less when we bring you more fat rich pr***s in another brewery sponsored ocean classic".

To me, a grudge is nothing more than a place to pork your core.

No fans of the Bruce 2000 track?

"No wonder Juan Antonio have both described it as the best Games ever"

"A special auction of Olympic memorableabia tonight" (Although the 'memorableabia' one is more of a recurring joke)

"And the Slovakian gold medal champion Probly Popped An Eccy, isn't he loving life at the moment, hugging the Korean silver medallist Who Took Two, None Left Over from Russia, he looks very disappointed"

"Chew Ma Fat from China in Lane 1, Gee U Suck the Korean in 2, Concrete Shoes the Greek champion in Lane 3"

"Matt Shirvington, the lunchbox, special moment this for a special penis, ah, special athlete"

"She's such a special athlete, wouldn't you just love to..."

"As they come around now for the bell lap, Ruin Ma Mood, the Indian, Pissin Me Off the Russian, just behind the Italian Bein Silly, Might Have To Knock Over the other Russian, Hes Shitting Me Too the Japanese champion, then the runner from Kazakhstan Can Bugger Off, a bit of a gap in the field there to the Dutchman Who's A Damn Goose, Sum Dum Prick from Thailand, there's another runner on the inside Whos Crapped His Daks from Poland, and dropping away now the Swede Last Person"

12th man again.
-------------------

Chappell - "Well we're only into the 6th over Tangles and the balls gone dead already!"

Walker - "Well Ian, it's not unusual when you've been sitting up in the commentary box for a few hours for the ol' cods to nod off".

Lawry - "Gee I dunno I think there's something wrong with Mahanama Rod (Sri Lankan batsman)

Rod Marsh - "Oh I don't think so Bill. Sounds like a pretty appropriate place for it".

Gibbo - "Nah listen Ian what would you say if I told you you repeat everything I say?"

Chappell - "Er what would I say if you told me I repeat everything you say?"

Gibbo - "That's what I thought you'd say!"

 

[see see]

Love all his work, in particular Bill Lawry. Bloody hilarious.

"Merv! Merv! Merv!"

The Final Dig was a great piece of work from him. Loved how Bill Lawry got "The Brad Pitt nose" from Schnozzer Warehouse, and came out looking like Brad Pitt in Fight Club lol.

I feel 'Boned' is an excellent album.

Agreed. Very Funny and Awesome
