2 Phat

Larianne

Took me awhile to remember the name of it. Last time we've seen Ray Zig & Zag altogether!

Was such an easy gameshow I wish I got on it. The prize was pretty cool at the end - A scooter. Just when Scooters were becoming 'cool'. Some of the people on it though were awful thick!! And they made them sit on the scooter for the BIG question and if they were thick enoguh they had to get back off it. so cruel!

Where Des Bishop got his big break I suppose. He used to do a funny sketch with this other little mute dude. Some American rapper he was meant to be "...East side, West side, Stephen Gately side.."

Do you remember the episode where they had an exclusive interview with Jim Corr? (around the time the Corrs were huge) They spent the whole programme going on about their exclusive interview with Jim, and how we shouldn't change channel - Jim was just sitting there for the whole programme - when they finally got to the interview, they asked the first question, and before Jim could even utter a syllable the buzzer went for the end of the show! So they had to go do the questioning for the scooter, and there was no interview! It was absolutely hilarious, you should have see Jim's face
And in one programme, one of the contestants was the blonde girl from the Power City ads

Haha Velcro Girl, I forgot all about her. That Jim Corr episode was absolutely hilarious, thanks for making me remember that.

What was the name of the pirate radio station they used to have on the show. Also remember Zag playing the cabbie?

Larianne

Velcro girl, ah yes! Wonder what she's up to now? Probably back i UCD finishing her Arts degree.

And the taxi! Great!!

Femelade

remember when a contestant got on the scooter, they first had to say "vroom vroom beep beep"

I also remember a sketch where they did an experiment on whether replicating the Prodigy's vid for "Smack My Bitch Up" would produce similar effects. So Ray hit the streets, copy of the single in his hand, and it was filmed through his eyes like the video. First they would film a situation if he did not have the single in his hand, and then again when he had. I can remember him trying to get past bouncers at a nite club and it was quite funny I think.

Remember the episode where they spent the whole thing slagging off Blur's (then brand new) video for their single 'Tender'? They kept going on about how bloody long and boring it was, and they kept playing snippets of it and going "Arrrgh, it's still going!" The way they stretched it out, the song was still going by the end of the episode.
And remember Beckingham Palace, with Ray and Velcro Girl playing David and Victoria Beckham? The only one I clearly remember was 'David' on the sofa pointing the portable phone and the TV and wondering aloud why it wouldn't change channel, and 'Victoria' saying "Awwww Daaaay-viiid, you're holding it upside dahn"

Velcro Girl looked shocking grumpy towards the end though, like she was absolutely sick of it. Anyone else notice that? I guess it was a kinda restrictive role, just having things stuck on you the whole time and never really saying anything

2phat was brilliant. The DJ was called DJ PJ I think. Zig and Zag were always trying to look at Ray's arse aswell. "D'arcys Arse!!!"

Stephen

Mmm, Velcro girl, she was a minx.

That was a great show. The voice over guy was Tony Fenton's Cousin. I'm sure I have a few episodes of that taped somewhere.

carpothepunk

dudara

Ah yes Tony Fenton's Cousin!!


Where is Velcro Girl these days? Surely someone knows

I hated that show it was used as an excuse while i was in Primary school to tease me ! as i was slightly chubby then ! Other kids would always mention 2Phat as i'd walk by and naturally i'd complain and the nob teacher would say they're talking bout tv ! It stopped when i gave one of then the biggest flaking i ever gave anyone and i also won a week off school for my efforts ! :rolleyes:

Regards netwhizkid

sweet-rasmus

i remember... it was a great laugh!

i remember velcro girl, and the whole jim thing... but most of all, i think it was at the end, with the ultamite question.. the lights would go dim, and zag would say "spooky yet romatic at the same time". I loved that line! lol.

I also remember Ray trying to do the video for Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve. He just bumps into one old lady and then he gets all apologetic.
