    Personally, I find maybe 1 in 20 of their jokes funny, but I guess everyone is different
    How much wood could the woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck could chuck wood?

    I am with the last two posts. They were funny.

    Now, I do not find loudmouths too funny.

    Regards,

    Roy & HG are once again the only bright spot in the sea of mediocrity that is the Australian news media. The gushing, fawning, sycophancy and over-hyped rhetoric of all the others, Raelene Boyle being a notable exception among the main stream commentators is positively vomit inducing.

    Is anyone else sick and tired of hearing about Jana Pitman? And what's with this wall to wall coverage of a second rate singer named Delta Goodrem? She's NOT part of the team. Not even an athlete!

    OK rant mode = off.

    They're amongst the best things on the box. For Christmas 2000, my kids bought me a full set of The Dream videos from the Sydney Olympics plus a boxed set of videos of Muhammad Ali's title fights. Best present I've had for years.

    Part of the enjoyment of these Olympic Games will be watching Roy and HG.

    I'm with Theva, Tom And Dean they can be very funny, but often are not.
    The older looking one is by far the worst he appears to not be very bright.

    I only have vague memories of Roy and HG, I used to think they were good though. We now live in an area with cr@p free to air TV coverage, we almost get channel 9 but through a heavy blizzard.

    So we only watch Foxtel, which has practically none existent coverage of the Olympics I had thought that they might at least show some of it, but no only a few bits on the news channels.

    Somehow listening to a swimming race on the radio lacks effect........

    I can't say I like 'em much - but they're better than the other cra*p on Sunday afternoons on radio. Wouldn't go out of my way to watch them on TV though.

    They usually broadcast on JJJ FM on Sundays between 2:00 to 5:00pm but aren't on air during the Olympics. If you can't get them on your local Triple J then there is always the web.

    HTH,

    Ummm which one is the older? I can't pick it. I think their antics make the show.

    I like them. They entertain the athletes and I think that on its own, is worth it.

    go you good thing

    I can't believe it's even a voting issue!!! Funniest thing on TV.
