Салатные палочки Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Well I must say, I will miss the New Years Day thread on here. Not before time, absolutely shite these days. Why don't they, as it's the last one, just have a mish-mash of all the best bits over the years instead of letting Watson loose with the script? Should have a New Years or Christmas Two Doors Down on instead. At least Watson is funny in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll include 45 minutes of Sturgeon and Leitch pish, a xenophobic skit about Stendel, the sketches with the old firm fans, the budget Cheeky Girls from the Hibs season ticket appeal, MacAvennie, Sir Alex, Sounness, Chick and some other person who hasn't been relevant for 20 years but will appeal to the Glesga public.

superjack Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I still remember the very first joke on OAE when it was first on the telly. Watson and tony roper, dressed in tartan army gear, celebrating Scotland winning their third World Cup on the bounce. 1 of them says, when do you think the change on Scottish football happened? The other says in 1994. Why, what happened then? Hubs finally managed to beat hearts. The programme used to be really funny, with tony roper on it, and then followed by Alistair macgowan. Been push since then, think I’ve only watched it through habit, and usually being pretty wasted at that time of the night on Hogmanay.

gashauskis9 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Only an Excuse died about 15 years ago. They had it on a plate in recent years with Vlad, Rangers dying, Hibs getting relegated, our admin, Celtic’s persistent failure in Europe, Cathro/Levein etc. They chose all the while to keep up the ‘where’s the birds’ and shite Chic Young impersonations instead, and to continue getting off on the OF bigotry. Mugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is even in those early days Tony Roper was a big Celtic fan, and Johnny Watson (though he is very non committal about it) is a big Rangers fan so the agenda was set from day one. It makes me a bit sad as Johnny is an absolutely top notch bloke, but these days he’s very focussed on being taken seriously as an actor as opposed to a novelty turn.

tian447 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Oh no, I won't be able to laugh at a Frank MacAvennie joke this year, even though he stopped playing in 19 ****ing 95. What a shame. For the sheer comedy that is Scottish Football, they didn't half make Only an Excuse a total slog to get through. Too many shitey parodies of Chick Young and Jonathan Sutherland, Political distractions and 75% of it being Old Firm related nonsense means this should have been canned years ago.

jambostuart Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 They have the odd sketch that is funny when they move away from football. I thought the Greta Thunberg one from last years was actually good, but unfortunately they have the same old pish when it comes to football "comedy". The "funny names being drawn from the cup sketch" was like pulling teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mid 90s stuff is timeless. All the stuff they could have covered this year, and the best they can do is dropping a frying pan on someone’s napper while clapping for the NHS.
