    @mn5 True!

    Ellis was very funny in his day.

    There was a Southland guy, Jeremy someone (Winter?) who tried to market himself as "The Chosen One" who was another who fell flat as a turd.

    Winders. His shtick was the Southland accent and singing about Y-fronts.

      Who me? 🙂

      Certainly, not many appreciated my Ta$man schtick. 🙂 I think @Snowy was one who realized it was a pisstake!

      More seriously, who was the nut? Winders?

        It’s what Stu Wilson referred to the ball as.

          @majorrage Ah! Of course he did!

          Poor old Stu. He probably was funny in a small group - but, it just didn't translate.

          He probably was a decent bloke. Read this recently.

            @chris-b I went to a dinner when Stu Wilson spoke, he was excellent, including humour (even if I didnt find him funny on TV)

            Probably much easier to tailor your humour to a specific group (at a dinner event) than 10s of thousands of viewers/listeners

              @taniwharugby Eric Rush is an absolute genius in front of an Australian rugby-loving crowd. I've seen him twice, totally different material, audience in stiches both times.

              Did he ever make it onto TV back home?

                  @mn5 yeah was a bit where he was like Wheelers 'pet' plus there was a song Wheeler did when Fumi left the HIghlanders, bit of a man crush type song (was actually in an article on Stuff on weekend if you were wanting to hear it)

                  which was actually funny as fuck, and I'm sure a part of the reason Sky hired him.. yet it's based on exactly the same humour they're now saying is not up to their standards...

                    It was about as funny as Leigh Hart.
                    I would say 'less funny' but if that was the case I would have said 'as funny as Ursula the fat Saffa'

                      I find Joe a little painful. And I haven't read all of this thread

                      But I'm for forgiving and moving on. Yes it was silly. But hes apologised and been punished for his unacceptable behaviour (esp today he should know better)

                                    which was actually funny as fuck, and I'm sure a part of the reason Sky hired him.. yet it's based on exactly the same humour they're now saying is not up to their standards...

                                        They call him the big dog, it’s ironic cos he’s a small weedy man in the flesh.

                                        oh my sides, THAT is comedy.

                                          Devlin pretty much just copied @Rancid-Schnitzel s homework and made it longer.

                                          Well I actually asked a real live Asian about this - one of my best mates who is Malaysian Chinese. His response was “Why should I be offended by this?” “Who honestly gives a fuck?” and “That (Wheeler) is one inbred looking fucker.” 🤣
