Santo and his Two Stooges

Post by Prestoz »

Seriously what is the deal with these stooges and their extremely unfunny "comedy" show on Fox?
Not one of them is funny, has ever said anything funny, and the script (which is clearly written for the stooges) is excruciatingly gay and moronic.
They all act so effeminately and I have also noticed that the script dabbles in touchy social issues and seeks to "nudge" opinions in certain directions - such as gay marriage.
If you're not aware, world-wide more people get their news and develop their views from dodgy "info-tainment" shows such as this.
The whole ridiculous shambles brings the game into disrepute in my view.

Hehe. I've always loved Santo. And I love the show. Just have to not take life too seriously :wink:

Besides I don't think Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld are available to do an Australian football show

Geez I'm just glad we have one to watch!

Think of how the (AFL/NRL) footy show compares (taking into account budgets). I dont mind where they (Santo, Ed etc) take the piss out of our game, thus having a light heartered look at the oddities and highlights our game can muster around the world.

Yes well it's not the first time my views have been in the minority.
Good thing too - being immune to the "GROUPTHINK" is a blessing.

Thumbs up from me too. World's best comedy no, an enjoyable show around football yes.
Ernie Merrick: Of course I am happy when my team scores a goal, it's just that sometimes I forget to tell my face. (On why Ernie doesn't smile on the sideline.)

If you think that show is 'homophobic' you really need to get out more.

Have you ever seen Sam Newman in action? :lol: :lol: :lol:

I didn't say the show was homophobic.

Never heard of Sam Newman - is he famous and funny too?

That's not hard these days - you can be famous for being a gardener - or for being thrown off a TV show that only idiots watch.

Correct.

However I suggested though that you probably are given the content in your original post.

Oooh - what if I was? Imagine that!
Would that make me "persona non grata" – a thought-criminal?
Would I have to go and sit in the naughty corner?
Could you score PC points by calling me a name?
Or maybe report me to the PC Police?
Or some other kind of Pavlovian response?
