HOLY 240p BATMAN!
I managed to save this video before the last uploader either deleted it or took it down. Some priceless commentary from Roy & HG and their 2000 Sydney Olympic segment called The Dream.
These guys are known for their 'improv' ability and, as we see here, making up effectively a new improvised commentary based on the sport's language/jargon, and in typical dry Aussie wit. Think of the commentary like 'fanking'... everything is based around "that" area.
Excuse the poor quality - we really weren't in a high-def age back then (20+ years ago)
Edit: I've rectified the utter garble that the CC was putting out... never seen so much rubbish generated by an "artificial intelligence". It's probably because the AI is American; naturally doesn't understand one Aussie speaker, let alone two. Anyway that's fixed now, and I've altered the text as best as I can to fit the timings (and the commentary as well).

Many thanks for watching some vintage Roy & HG commentary. I get why we love it, but this is my only video I have on them. So in the interests of sending KZfaq's Analytics the right signals, unless you're interested in the rest of my channel and its content (which I know many of you aren't), can I please ask that you NOT subscribe to my channel JUST FOR THIS VIDEO. Instead, just stick it in your Favourites folder as I won't be taking it down. I don't ask people to unsubscribe from my channel, but to give KZfaq the right "messages", if you've subscribed to my channel for only this video, please unsub and just Fave the video instead. Thanks again for watching.

The IOC in their infinite wisdom have decided that they want to claim copyright on this content, which is fair I suppose, but I'm not taking it down. This is vintage funnies from legendary commentators, and to remove it would be an injustice and a disservice to those who remember the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Flatbag.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It doesn’t feel like 20 years ago. Roy and HG were the best commentators. Absolute Aussie humour at its best. Our country isn’t this much fun anymore. Said he, having moved to Scotland. You know what I mean anyway. This is Australia when it was still Australia. Made me very, very happy to see this. Please don’t let IOC take it away.

I don't think you'd find too many from the Sydney 2000 Olympics wanting to hark on their performances, but some younger and more modern gymnasts would already be familiar with the terminology these boys came up with. no doubt, they're thinking about the battered sav, flat bag and hello boys every time they land. =)

I've no idea, but I believe it's at the discretion of the uploaders of those videos, not necessarily KZfaq taking them down. I've had this up for about 4 years and while the IOC claim it's their content (fair dues), I haven't heard boo about people being told to take down Roy & HG content.

hahaha, no actually, although I can see where you're coming from (having never watched SNL or been invested enough into American TV). this was a special airing of two legendary Aussie comedians/commentators that provided their own unique and hilarious spin on Olympics commentary. The Dream was a special network-only segment, only aired during the 2000 Olympics.
