Roy & HG - The Dream (Sydney 2000 Olympics, Men's Gymnastics Commentary)

[@STAG162]

Many thanks for watching some vintage Roy & HG commentary. I get why we love it, but this is my only video I have on them. So in the interests of sending KZbin's Analytics the right signals, unless you're interested in the rest of my channel and its content (which I know many of you aren't), can I please ask that you NOT subscribe to my channel JUST FOR THIS VIDEO. Instead, just stick it in your Favourites folder as I won't be taking it down. I don't ask people to unsubscribe from my channel, but to give KZbin the right "messages", if you've subscribed to my channel for only this video, please unsub and just Fave the video instead. Thanks again for watching.

Bangs the flute into the floor for another battered sav and offers the toolbox to the judge.

[@11Acky]

Everyone wanted to get on that show, the Americans loved it

[@kellyelrington5663]

Still brings tears of laughter to my eyes.

[@tribalstrengthacademy3777]

If any persons in the history of reporting on sports should and must , get a gold medal.... well , it has to be Roy and HG. Well done boys, and keep up the good work

[@tonytiger943]

Thank you so much for sharing this. It doesn’t feel like 20 years ago. Roy and HG were the best commentators. Absolute Aussie humour at its best. Our country isn’t this much fun anymore. Said he, having moved to Scotland. You know what I mean anyway. This is Australia when it was still Australia. Made me very, very happy to see this. Please don’t let IOC take it away. It’s yours and ours 🇦🇺

[@Fitzroyfallz]

Roy and HG still do commentary on ABC radio on weekends

[@HSimon1981]

Tremendous strength in that battered sav he really enjoys that he's holding it beautifully must be swelling already

[@archerblake7583]

Bring back Roy & HG... they're the real gold!

[@Fitzroyfallz]

They haven’t gone away. They have a show on ABC radio on weekends

Brilliant. I came looking for this. Best sports commentary of all time.

I'm so glad I saved it.

thanks for watching.

[@STAG162]

The IOC in their infinite wisdom have decided that they want to claim copyright on this content, which is fair I suppose, but I'm not taking it down. This is vintage funnies from legendary commentators, and to remove it would be an injustice and a disservice to those who remember the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Flatbag.

[@raysubsonic]

Hello Boys!

[@michaelellis8726]

You have fair use for satire

[@STAG162]

@@michaelellis8726 I'll be looking into that, thanks.

[@MattExzy]

The IOC just want to suck the fun out of anything to do with the Olympics. I hope they read this comment - you're a bunch of sad old fossils, and you have no savs.

[@mikef.1000]

Tell 'em to BUGGER OFF

[@akawhippy]

That “Hello Boys” kills me every time!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Goralyna123]

Roy and H G, did such a great job in 2000. Their gymnastics commentaries were gold, and the romance of Greco-Roman wrestling. Their footy commentary was awesome, too. Remember Club Buggery?😂

[@paulolsen237]

So good.After all these years,it’s still hilarious.👌👌

[@adamstamp5386]

[@msf1967]

Banging the flute and the flat bag just about kills me.

[@SkippyMcdanglenuts]

The hello boys always kills me

[@adamclarke7394]

Crazy date and the battered sav. Those guys are all class. Roy and HG were a classic team. Thank you for posting this video. I hope that the IOC leaves you alone.

[@STAG162]

thanks mate. yeah the IOC still deem this as "their content" because it was their event, and I'm just the re-uploading host. but I won't let that take away from the glorious humour of these classic comedians.

[@adamclarke7394]

@@STAG162 The IOC does make me laugh. After the way that they handled the Tokyo postponement, you would think that they would have more important things to worry about than a 6 minute KZbin video. It does make you wonder. Keep posting your videos mate. I love them.

[@Richard-darixdax]

Love Roy and Hg😊❤

[@berniestever3881]

Have they got a gig for Brisbane yet? I love them

Prob best commentary in the history of sport 🤣

Definitely a couple of the funniest people on the planet , and absolutely, salt of the earth Australian.

[@kevinmeesen5607]

Great memories and these guys are so funny.😊

[@distant_sounds]

5:12 saw the Atomic Battered Sav.

[@ihopetowin]

Nobody has ever called an Olympics, or any other sporting event like Roy and HG.......and it was a time when Australians still actually sounded like Australians.

[@andyrob3259]

I used to love listening to their commentary of the grand finals. Would have me in stitches - would never listen to the actual broadcast.

[@TheFinnola]

What a ratings success if only The Dream could return for the Paris games 2024. 😂 Needed more than ever

[@STAG162]

believe me I'm right there with ya, I'd PAY to see them in action again.

[@M3au]

Was hoping to see some Dutch Winks in the routines …

[@STAG162]

oh... I'd forgotten about the ol' Dutch Wink..

[@danielherbig397]

Just dropping by in 2021 while watching the Tokyo men's floor routine. Ordinary commentary just not doing it for me

“No actual HAND bags from the Russians either, I’m a bit surprised Roy”

[@arcadiaberger9204]

Dang, they make it all sound so painful.

[@johnlinquist2880]

How long until we see a “gymnasts react to Roy & HG’s Olympic gymnastics commentary” video?

[@STAG162]

I don't think you'd find too many from the Sydney 2000 Olympics wanting to hark on their performances, but some younger and more modern gymnasts would already be familiar with the terminology these boys came up with. no doubt, they're thinking about the battered sav, flat bag and hello boys every time they land. =)

[@adamstamp5386]

who cares??

[@andyrob3259]

Those boring useless 'reaction' videos. Can't understand why they are so popular.

[@jamesandrew2606]

Crazy date, hello boys and flat bag and sav 😂🤣🤣😅😆

[@em945]

Brilliant. If you have not seen ' aussie man reviews' channel...he does some hard core Roy and Hg style commentary on everything, but also Simone Biles etc if you prefer sport.

[@KeenSays]

You can count the pixels on one hand

[@STAG162]

yeah in those days TV broadcasts were only Standard Definition. HD didn't come till years after.

[@waxinggibbous718]

We call that manoeuvre the “hello boys” in Oz

[@AVportau]

hello boys??? what do they mean?.... i'm working on some new moves myself like "pop goes the weasel", "fairy flossing", and the crowd fave 'double mounted half mongrel" where you twist your head up your buttcrack and do some bar work.

[@gordondean9189]

So who did take down most of the Roy and HG videos on KZbin? That includes some not related to the olympics.

[@STAG162]

I've no idea, but I believe it's at the discretion of the uploaders of those videos, not necessarily KZbin taking them down. I've had this up for about 4 years and while the IOC claim it's their content (fair dues), I haven't heard boo about people being told to take down Roy & HG content.

[@Ashley__Rose]

Forgive me for asking, but was this like Australia's version of Saturday Night Live?

[@STAG162]

hahaha, no actually, although I can see where you're coming from (having never watched SNL or been invested enough into American TV). this was a special airing of two legendary Aussie comedians/commentators that provided their own unique and hilarious spin on Olympics commentary. The Dream was a special network-only segment, only aired during the 2000 Olympics.
