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

HOLY 240p BATMAN!
I managed to save this video before the last uploader either deleted it or took it down. Some priceless commentary from Roy & HG and their 2000 Sydney Olympic segment called The Dream.
These guys are known for their 'improv' ability and, as we see here, making up effectively a new improvised commentary based on the sport's language/jargon, and in typical dry Aussie wit. Think of the commentary like 'fanking'... everything is based around "that" area.
Excuse the poor quality - we really weren't in a high-def age back then (20+ years ago)
Edit: I've rectified the utter garble that the CC was putting out... never seen so much rubbish generated by an "artificial intelligence". It's probably because the AI is American; naturally doesn't understand one Aussie speaker, let alone two. Anyway that's fixed now, and I've altered the text as best as I can to fit the timings (and the commentary as well).

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.

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.

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?😂

[@scottb6210]

So funny. Hello boys, crazy date, party date, flat bag and battered sav 🤣🤣🤣. Just gold!

[@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

This was some of Roy and HG's best work. Very original and extremely funny.

[@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 🇦🇺

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.

[@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.

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.

[@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.
