I'm on TV

Aidric

What compels some people to act the absolute goon once they come across a TV broadcast? If you want to broadcast yourself these days it has never been easier. There is the odd funny example like the guy with the dildo on sky sports news last year but mostly it's cringe worthy, the below being the classic example.

You should have put up the version with the banjo music....

Jaysus OP, for a second there I thought you were on Live at 3 or at least Quicksilver.

The Backwards Man

I thought the OP had a nasty home-decorating related accident.

Which one are you in that clip?

Menas

Thread needs livening up a bit.
The aforementioned dildo clip.

The guy who briefly collapsed. Got a dodgy baggie off Willie O Dea 15 minutes before the TV interview.

The guy who slipped on the ice

P1ssed myself at this one from the Galway Races. The younger lads are just messers but watch the fella in the bodywarmer at the end.

I always assumed those people were always goons, tv camera or no.

Trolling Mother

Once my dad was in the Late Late Show audience in the early nineties.

Our neighbours must have seen him and one of them knocked on the door and said "Did you know (Dad) is on the Late Late?"

My mother said, ah he's not, he's inside lying down watching it.

They rang back again an hour later "Are you sure he doesn't have a twin brother?!?"

U Mad?

What I love about the clip in the OP is that not only does nobody react to the guy fainting (or at least falling/ducking down), but the guy with glasses and the woman beside him just laugh. Then his head pops up, looks at the guy in glasses, and turns around.

It's like something you'd see in Only Fools and Horses.

Galway K9

I love the bone-heading these guys got at. My favourite show in Aussie.

For anyone that didn't see him, I just had to get a screen capture of that Fruitcake.

I had the same thought. I half expected him to reappear with a mask on, and threaten the two lads.

He starts to look like Mr Bean or something, as the clip went on.

I do love that at every OB thing at a race meeting or whatever there will always be some slackjawed bogman in the background staring expressionlessly directly into the camera like it is something that beamed down from another planet.

Those were the people I had in mind when I started this thread.

Pat Kenny getting insulted on the Frontline was a mad mental moment for me.
