Personally, I find maybe 1 in 20 of their jokes funny, but I guess everyone is different :)
I go with Dean. I can take them or leave them - mostly leave them
I am with the last two posts. They were funny.
Now, I do not find loudmouths too funny.

Theva
Roy & HG are once again the only bright spot in the sea of mediocrity that is the Australian news media. The gushing, fawning, sycophancy and over-hyped rhetoric of all the others, Raelene Boyle being a notable exception among the main stream commentators is positively vomit inducing.
Is anyone else sick and tired of hearing about Jana Pitman? And what's with this wall to wall coverage of a second rate singer named Delta Goodrem? She's NOT part of the team. Not even an athlete!
OK rant mode = off. :)
For me their best was commenting on a Grand Final some years ago.
TV on with Volume off,
Radio ON with Roy & HG
Ivan in Oz
They're amongst the best things on the box. For Christmas 2000, my kids bought me a full set of The Dream videos from the Sydney Olympics plus a boxed set of videos of Muhammad Ali's title fights. Best present I've had for years.
Part of the enjoyment of these Olympic Games will be watching Roy and HG.

I'm with Theva, Tom And Dean they can be very funny, but often are not.
The older looking one is by far the worst he appears to not be very bright.
I only have vague memories of Roy and HG, I used to think they were good though. We now live in an area with cr@p free to air TV coverage, we almost get channel 9 but through a heavy blizzard.
So we only watch Foxtel, which has practically none existent coverage of the Olympics :( I had thought that they might at least show some of it, but no only a few bits on the news channels.
Somehow listening to a swimming race on the radio lacks effect........

I can't say I like 'em much - but they're better than the other cra*p on Sunday afternoons on radio. Wouldn't go out of my way to watch them on TV though.
They usually broadcast on JJJ FM on Sundays between 2:00 to 5:00pm but aren't on air during the Olympics. If you can't get them on your local Triple J then there is always the web.Quote:

go you good thing ;)
I can't believe it's even a voting issue!!! Funniest thing on TV.
2 very clever men.
Not so silent
The funniest thing on TV is (or was) the Black Adder series with Rowan Atkinson
Bob, series 4 is absolutely brilliant but I am not so sure about the first 3.Quote:

Bob, unfortunately Black Adder is not on TV at the moment. Otherwise my reply would have read "second funniest thing on TV".

I can watch Western Australian free to air channels here because I am in a bad TV reception area. It comes off the same satelite as Foxtel and Austar.
Thats very interesting Bazza, I'll look into it today.
Cheers

Funnier than the Mavis Bramston show Bob? :pQuote:

I'd have to agree that the first series wasn't a patch on the second. I wouldn't say it did nothing for me, still got a few good laughs. Second series gets my vote as the best though, closely followed by Blackadder goes Forth.
Doesn't your foxtel come with 2,7,9,10 & SBS, mine does?Quote:

HH,
Re. Foxtel/Austar, it depends on whether you are cable or sattelite. We have Austar sattelite and we get ABC and SBS only.
Re. obnoxious and unfunny, well I'd say its the obnoxious style, if you could call it that, which makes them funny. Anyway, it's something only Australians can understand. It's a -take of the great Aussie bullsh!ter. The bloke down the pub who's done everything and knows everything. Well, that's Roy's character anyway. Not too many poms find them very funny. But then you loved Rolf, so work that one out :rolleyes:
We're not very highbrow over here as you well know ;)
That's a shame, I think getting all the "normal" channels as a definite bonus, I now have a large bird perch on the top of my house which I don't have to worry about when it gets windy.Quote:

You want funny? Go down to the dim dark recesses of your video shop and hire "The Gods Must Be Crazy 1&2".
Hehe I agree... or Spaceballs!Quote:

Back to that other pair, I always find them synonymous with Fooball, and I bloody hate loath and detest it.

Their calling of the "Mens Gymnastics" at the Sydney games was brilliant, I'd like to know how many hours they had to rehearse.
I too was given a copy of the Sydney "Dream" videos and love them.
So far haven't missed one of the Athens ones either.
Their " taking" of Nana wasn't bad, I thought she didn't realise it, but she gave them a bit of their own back.
Cheers,
Colin
