Profanity warning if you have no sense of humor...

The Olympics is a tough gig for a commentator.  You have to know everything about every sport, ever, and also master the pronunciation of names from every country, ever.

Luckily Francis Higgins – also known as ‘The Viper’ on the Hardy Bucks TV program – is here with a minor masterclass for would-be pundits.  His alternative take on the Laser Radial sailing event, calling simply and movingly ‘Boats’, has gone worldwide since its appearance on Saturday with coverage on Buzzfeed, Gawker and Reddit and roughly 420,000 views to its name.

The video contains expert analysis of the race, such as “the race is looking very close… and confusing” and “it’s a very confusing scene here we don’t know who’s in the lead.”  He points out the “idiots watching from the sidelines… there’s a lot of fuckers there for what is essentially a very, very boring sport.”  As Belarus’ sailboat appears, the commentator notes, rightly, that “they are not so good on the water it seems… questionable human rights records for that country as well.”

I'm laughing so hard I can barely type. Thanks, It's been a rough day and I needed a good laugh.

Now who's the idiot, Deek Haid? lolol! Those Irish and their ale should be separated for an hour before going on air.

"and also master the pronunciation of names from every country"

And that's why the BBC has a policy of actively hiring people with lisps and other speech deficiencies. God forbid that we's actually know how the words are pronounced.
