In his own words, "that was really stupid." I'm talking about the whole idea, of course. Why would anyone do that? It would've been much funnier had he actually gotten hit. Now let's see him try it on Kinda Ka!

Faked. The bit where he's jumping out of the way is very obviously chroma-keyed.

I saw this on TV a long time ago. Yeah, it probably was chroma-keyed (in this case they probably masked out the background and put in 2 different clips from 2 different times) But yeah, I find it funny how they always say "No trick photography was used in this trick" It's all a lie.

[lol], I've seen that so many times on those queer ass American tv programs that channel 5 puts on after like 3 in the morning, they're funny to watch because you can laugh at Americans trying to be smart [lol]

Its obviously faked though right? Would you let someone do that for real on a ride in your park, I doubt it. And unless you were a complete idiot or phsyco or had just given up on life, theres no way you'd even do that [lol] An obvious fake.

Ah good, more American bashing from gouldy. I thought he was going to avoid the hat-trick and get it three times over. Man, this is becoming routine ... just be happy you are not speaking German --- but thanks to those "Americans" that you hate so much -- you're not doing the "Nazi duck walk" while marching to school.

Id rather be killed by a better ride than Desperado.

Btw, Ive seen YOUR guys' english channels (not just the BBC) and its quite frankly some of the craziest stuff Ive seen, right up there with the Japanese television. You have interesting humor, to say the least. Most of it I cant even find funny, and trust me, I can find alot of things funny.

I don't hate Americans really, theres more of a friendly banter thing going on there, I would like it if a few people would occasionally poke some fun at us brits too, its good to have friendly banter going on. A few of you are a little up tight I feel.

Real, can I have an example of an English tv program that you've seen that you thought was wierd and not funny, I just want to know if it is something that I like or not. I agree with you that there is a lot of wierd shite on English tv, but I don't watch much of it because I find it hard to find some of it funny, a lot of it is just more sickening than anything, like the League of Gentlemen, soon to be a movie ..... its funny sometimes but really its just ... sick [lol]. I like to watch Stand up comedy usually, theres a few programs here with that on, such as the Comedy store, I love that. A lot of our comedy programs though are realy like topical UK things if you follow me, like they talk about things that are relevant in the UK at that time, so I guess it might be har for you to understand whats going on in some of them .... maybe.

Possibly the funniest guy on Earth for the UK is Peter Kay, without a doubt. Just the Americans would not have a clue what on Earth he going on about. His jokes about bullseye and the going on holiday routine make me cry with laughter everytime. Just thinking about the burgular sketch is making me laugh now (thats the 'why do people leave there radio on when they go on holiday bit'

I guess its the same reason i dont find George Carlin funny in the least bit, English and Americans are two completly different cultures. You only need to see a film from both sides of the Atlantic to see, you have your Americans blowing the poop out of everything, most unique and unrealistic physics possible. When in real life has a car ran into something or dove off a cliff and exploded into a fireball about 100ft across. Whilst us English tend to have either ridiculous comedys that make no sense or stupid 'realistic' love stories

Anyway i beleive this topic was on some guy and some coaster

Of course this was a fake! I don't believe any American tv-program. Everything in those conversation-programs is invented by the makers of the show. It sucks [:(!]

That was fake, I knew it the minute I watched it, I wanted him to get hit! Then it would have been worth watching.

Peter Kay and Jonathan Ross are sooo funny. I like UK tv although some is very weird. I must admit american TV is very good, apart from your lack of decent sports *cough*Footy/soccer*cough*Rugby*cough* [lol]

Yeah, although i do think that lance burton is a very good magician i was disappointed by this.

I think a lot of american tv is very good, although you do have far too many "when (insert something here)s go bad" type reality programs. I hate reality tv, wife swap, big brother etc.

hey, t.j. you know, by all rights you'd probabaly call me a bleeding heart liberal.... BUT this guy is starting to sound like your typical poor self image having, life hating, "i hope my death metal music bothers you, what are you looking at faggit?" kind of guy ... you're being to nice to him...next time he trashes our country he needs to be reminded that we saved his island not once but twice in the last century, and that we are america becuse we kicked their asses out in the first place...to his credit though, t.v. in general is a JOKE, reality t.v. in particular.....

This wasn't even magic, this was just some guy that is good with locks. Just act a bit like the lock was diffilcult to open, then suddenly it's open. Yeah rite. I wonder how he will do that on Kindga ka [lol], the only thing that he could do then is trying to hang under the rails of kingda ka and hope he doesn't die on his 300foot drop. At least when he is tighten up at the top of the ride[:D]

TConwell was being decent and mature enough not to post dumbass statements like that. Your comment is the exact reason why almost every country in the world hates America. There is a select few Americans who for some reason think they are responisble for saving the world, acting all high and mighty...and what for. America in no way saved Britian in the war, they help us as allies to push back the nazi war machine and liberate many countries under the nazi rule. Your comments are the equivelent to us Britains saying we saved you from getting your assed kicked against Japan in the Pacific...its all BS

Just back me up in everything that I say why don't you [;)] and then I'll be on me way [:)]

you saved our island did you, right. You love well wouldn't have even been involved if the Japanese hadn't bombed you're asses. You were just gonna sit there as if nothing was happening untill Japan made a mistake by getting you involved. Anyway, I don't want to get invovled in that, its just I don't like the way Americans say that, that you saved us or something and like you're above everyone else. I know you're not all like that, which is kinda the thing that annoys me about the world as a whole, people are constantly shown through the media and what not, a completely stereotypical view of another nations people. I've seen American films with English people in, why do all the English people in your films have accents like they are the queen or something? Why do they all like tea and crumpets?

And what was that, "we are America because we kicked their asses out in the first place", I'm sorry what? Where did you learn history? Or is your vision just completely marred by the ridiculous American ideal that is nothing but a lie fed to you as a youngster?

Anyway, your school must be very good because you obviously know a lot about the war Jayman [;)]

Guys Guys GUYS! Geesh ... wasn't this about Lance Burton to begin with? [lol]
At any rate, come on jay; that was a bit "out there" man. Remember you have your inside voice ... and your outside voice. Not always letting the inside voice talk sometimes helps, eh? Oh, and I've got some Aloe Vera for that scathing third degree burn you got from Edge and Gouldy. I'll mail it to ya mate.

wHOA.. MAYBE I JUMPED IN TOO DEEP ON THAT ONE... but it sure was interesting to see the reaction... yeah i came from "out there", but there was some sort of sarcasm, or irony at best, intended by the bluntness of the remark... and yeah, i was too personal and deseverd that...
