The bounce

[Spudregus_87]

Everyone trying too hard to be funny and no one succeeding.

Just reeks of channel 7 footy failure.

What's the chick's role? to be hot? funny? or footy smart? coz she's none of those.

Hellier can't hold a show down on his own.

Too many forced laughs from the audience too.

I did chuckle at Colin Banks though.

and I feel sorry for Richo....

 

[Richo is God]

Wow, this is not funny at all..

 

[Pessimistic]

Sam mitchell knew Hawthorn won the Waverley grand final but thought it was 1986.

I reckon a saints or Dogs player would have known which flag was which

 

[topdon]

Everyone seems to be trying so hard to be funny. What's up with that?

+1. This was my first impression.

This show fails dismally! Absolute garbage.

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

For all of it's flaws, The Bounce just proves how good the footy show concept actually is. Can you imagine watching 15 years of this? There's nothing original or fresh about it.

I'll give it 4 weeks.

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

13 Minutes in.

13 Minutes too many.

 

[dmc333]

There's gotta be better murders to watch on CI than this.

 

[bedford]

Give it a chance, its different, but doesn't need the band

 

[Thrawn]

That stand up routine of his at the beginning was very painful to sit through.

That stand up routine of his at the beginning was very painful to sit through.

Even worse when you've had months to prepare.

 

[Testekill]

Dull and not very funny, thumbs down.

 

[OzBomber]

It shows how good the Footy Show actually is. A show hosted by Peter Helliar is always going to be crap.

 

[Optimax]

This is terrible

 

[Karbo]

That stand up routine of his at the beginning was very painful to sit through.

Jimmy Fallon-esque.

 

[scout]

Apparently the guy fronting the band, Kit Warhurst, is Myf's brother.

 

[potatomasher]

I don't even hate Peter Hellier like everyone else seems to. On the spot, I reckon he's quite sharp, and if he was just doing a street talk sort of segment rather than hosting the whole thing, he'd be good value. Sadly, this show is that awful that I think it is hurting my TV. Adam Cooney was good value for the three seconds Hellier let him get a word in for.

 

[Dangas]

Massive Fail, I ended up watching The New Inventors, they are trying way to hard

 

[deedog2]

Give it a chance, its different, but doesn't need the band

Tell me...

How is Peter Rowsthorn impersonating a cabbie in an obviously derogatory manner any different to any of the crap Sam does?

They have offended cabbies everywhere. If I was a cabbie I would be outraged about that portrayal.

They should be hung, drawn and quartered for that skit!

 

[BLPC08]

The band is just plain awful

 

[Dangas]

Apparently the guy fronting the band, Kit Warhurst, is Myf's brother.

You don't say

Prediction: This thread ends up being quoted at length in some lazy journo article tomorrow.

Example: "Members of the Big Footy blog were less kind, [funny user name] said "[direct quote]", while [another funny user name] said he would never watch Channel 7 again"

According to the Herald Sun every website that they don't contribute to, or any live chat, is a "blog".

 

[bighit006]

Havent watched all of it yet, but the actualy footy talk isnt half bad. Its just the attempted "funny stuff"...isnt funny

 

[Warsaw]

That Sting could of been so much more better. Needed more from Steele himself but the facial expressions on the kid was priceless.

On the show itself, thought it was half decent as background tv. Don't mind Helliar but the show was pretty much seen before stuff and nothing particulary stood out. Won't be a must watch.

 

[OzBomber]

The only part I thought was half decent was the last skit with Steele Sidebottom. I thought that was pretty funny. The rest was shit.

 

[win1soon]

The last skit with maxwell and sidebottom was good
