    On Big Train Simon Pegg was always the master of the childish reaction of "Oh! Right!"

      When I first saw this I started laughing so hard I tore all my connective membranes and had to be rushed to hospital for life saving surgery. The only way they could get me to stop laughing was to electrocute my testicles. I'm now infertile and my wife left me for my best friend!

    @theemperorofboxingtruth3745 9 місяців тому

    I have to say the comedic connection that these two have really amplifies not only the basic yet hilarious premise, but really engages the viewer and generates that crucial anticipation that makes it work. The timing and the beautifully constructed nature is absolutely text book. Well done guys, excellent work. My only mild criticism would be that the outfits worn could have been louder in appearance and a larger crowd watching would have given the viewer someone to laugh with. I think if the coach had groaned more after each fail and maybe slapped his thigh in frustration, that would have really underlined the annoyance that he was feeling and I believe the viewer would have fed off that. Still a good effort though but perhaps a view things to work on.

    I’ve always wondered what a coach of a 100 metre sprinter actually does. Now I know all the work that goes on behind the scenes. . When you see them on the TV it all looks so easy but there’s hours of training gone into it. People think it’s just a matter of waiting for the gun and then just run as fast as you can in a straight line …….think again.

    Lazy? I've never been to Britain so I dunno about whether the British in general are lazy or not. The furthest place I had been to was Paris and Melbourne. And I can definitely tell you that people in both countries are slow as hell. If they come to live in Hong Kong, they would definitely die before they even get a job.
    However, the British colonial government did quite well in Hong Kong. So I don't think Briish are lazy.
