Channel 9 Footy Show 2011 - New Year - New Ad - Same Crap

[some11]

Best thing about tonight's show - Benji being nice and blunt to Fatty telling him to stop interrupting him and stfu, he wanted to straight talk and not dribble. About time someone called him out on his smug crap.

Must have missed that. I only paid attention up until they did their take on the x men preview, but thought the show was real good. Vossy was ok, the origin interviews were good. Cahill is decent, beau was funny, the x men was funny.

Decent night.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Actually Beau Ryan blowing the vuvuzela behind that guy with the coffee made me lol

 

[nrlnrl]

They've tried it on Foxsports.

It's still pretty unfunny.

I saw HG Nelson on League Lounge last Sunday night & still think he's funny. Have they had any others on there ?

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

Tim Cahill on last night

Harry Kewell on next week.

whats the go with the guests? are nine bidding for the soccer rights?

 

[Apey]

I thought the show was shit last night.

May be due to me mainly missing the first 30 - 40 minutes.

Beau was okay, Benji looked like he wanted to smack a bitch, and Mario is an absolute embarrassment to himself and the show for bringing him back on each week.

I reckon they could get a laugh or two if Darryl is happy for them to make a joke about his weight/size. They should try it and see what happens.

Its the same when they have Burgess on there, he throws his opinion in then they spend half the show teasing his accent. Meanwhile they have that fat f**k Brohman going on about food week after week, looking for any excuse to eat something halfway through the show.

Burgess, Benji and a few other players are already just naturally better at being tv panellists than Fatty/Brohman/Fittler who've been doing it for years.

A panel of Matt Elliot, Sterlo, Benji and Burgess would be way better than what they have now.

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

Burgess and Benji can't even communicate. Do you honestly want to listen to this:

Burges: *incomprehensible mumbling*
Benji: YEAH BRO

 

[Ladmate]

Burgess and Benji have good chemistry on the set. I noticed it last year.

It was Freddy he was pissed at, not Fatty.

2GB do it to the extent he puts shit on himself for his size - Footy Show should probably try it, you're right.

The big marn + donut fiasco was hard to watch.

I wish they would change the format and include some actual highlights, for the people who don't have fox

 

[nqcowboy87]

every show Eddie does flops

i'll give it 3 weeks

man you where close

 

[BunniesMan]

The big marn seems like a nice enough bloke but he has 1 routine, making fun of his own weight. The bloke is a walking heart attack and it might have been funny the first time but it's lost it's humour the ten thousand times since. The donut BS was painful to watch, and as if you'd try and have a go at a healthy eating initative for kids when there's so many fat kids around.

Get rid of Brohman.
Get rid of Fittler.
Get rid of Voss.
Get rid of Mario. I love the bloke but he's hopeless on the show, insulting him stopped being funny a long time ago.
Reduce Fatty's role from main host to being just one of the panellists. He's tolerable but as a host who is supposed to be running the show, he sucks.

Bring in Sterlo as the host. With Fatty/Elliot/Benji/Burgess as panellists. Sterlo is much better at keeping the show running along, Fatty would be the "funny" guy, Elliot for the coaches/management perspective. Benji/Burgess for the players perspective.

Do what BunniesMan says and you might just get more than laughable ratings.

 

[God-King Dean]

All I want is one episode without a Benji Marshall bukakke.

Maybe it's just me but I don't think we should listen to the advice of someone who refers to themselves in third person when making suggestions :lol:

On the rare occassion when I come up with what I think is a good suggestion, I reward myself with a bit of third person to make me feel like one of these people:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illeism#Notable_uses

Edit: And how many people knew it was called Illeism? You can thank me for bringing that fact to the masses.

 

[Timmah]

You "reward" yourself :lol:

No details please.

 

[whall15]

Pele can't get away with referring to himself in the third-person and he's a legend.

You're not a legend.
