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.

John 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.

It 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".
