Press clippings
Episode three of the risible clip show - think You've Been Framed meets Rude Tube, but sports-themed - features segments including "humans balancing things on their head". While such shows usually come with a "don't try this at home" warning, getting into your own minor accident would likely be more fun.
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 10th August 2019John Thomson and Jessica Knappett add so much comedy as hosts Jack Bullman and Nicky Brimble that it would be a crime to dismiss this clipshow as just another web-style mash-up. This time out we enjoy hilarious footage of Self-Inflicted Nunchuck Thwacks and Heavyweight Supercar Exiting.
Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 3rd August 2019It might sound like a corny clip show, but this spoof-fest hosted by "Jack Bullman" (John Thomson) and "Nicky Brimble" (Jessica Knappett) in which "everything is a sport and anyone can be crowned a champion" turns out to be a funny mash-up of made-up sports from horse football to "dog-sticking".
