Mel C with the worst fake laugh I've ever heard
Alec Whiteside heard it and thought Mrs Brown’s boys was on
I have to say - I was annoyed when the Sky Dome in Toronto was renamed the Rogers Centre or whatever. I don't even know what it's called now. I remember when it was built they held a contest to name it, the idea being that we were establishing a legacy in the form of a landmark. Now it just seems like corporate HQ. And it's not like anyone in this area isn't already familiar with Rogers. It hasn't helped their sales.
WalterLiddy I still and will always call it the skydome
Pretty sure his name is Adam Hills, not Hill.
He's been renamed by the Hill Corporation.
Over here in Germany nearly every stadium has a brand name! I totally understand this guy!-.-'
omg that women's laugh is so disturbing
ChumChurum She has a terrible laugh but so what? She doesn't disguise it - it's genuine at least. She's actually very likeable from all the appearances I've seen her in.
WalterLiddy Seems false and sycophantic to me
That laugh haunts my dreams.
His name is Adam Hills ...
Fun little clip, looking forward to the show. Adam Hills talks sense about most things and his reaction to the Kit Kat thing was priceless!
The irony of the BBC getting his name wrong
Double Decker is Cadbury's !
;-)
In so used to Adam Hills' Last Leg rants that this was so tame :')
I'd say that Adam HILLS has a right to have his named correctly spelled in the video title and description.
The one stadium I loved that had a brand name as it's name was "The Clipsal Powerhouse" in Adelaide, Australia. They have since changed sponsers though and it's no longer as good.
Great entry. I agree with him that it does cheapen the morals yet for some it is a necessary evil.
"hehehehe HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
He's got a point, although some are ok. My team play at The Reebok Stadium, luckily it ties in to the towns hostory as the brand was founded in Bolton itsself. The naming rights end in 2016 though so it will probably have a ridiculous name after that.
It's now called 'Toughsheet Community Stadium' which sounds awful, like 'Tough shit'
Great choice I’ve hated this for years
I agree with this. .I don't ever want to see Wembley Stadium or Lords or Twickenham become attached to some brand name that changes every 5 years or so as the sponsorship does.
yep still have a crush on Mel C. It's been 20 years... my heart literally flutters at the sight of her. So weird.
I can excuse the Kit Kat stadium, because Kit Kats are still made in York and the city has a long history of confectionary makers including Rowntrees, Fox's and Terry's
Kit Kat stadium is just silly,sorry. 😞
Imagine being called 89! What would your nickname be?
0:27 Surely he means Emirates Old Trafford and the Kia Oval?
Castleford Tigers stadium is the "Mend-a-hose Jungle" I love sponsorship money for my club but really?!?
That lady's laugh....
That's why the vatican has so much money: otherwise they would need to have popes named with brands too, like "Pope Rayban III" or even better "the I-pope"
double deckers are from cadbury, not nestle.
People are fond of their traditional stadium names and branding is not only disconnecting, but the name can change frequently according to changes in sponsors. It seems like a sort of prostitution of the stadiums.
harharharharhar dat laugh doe
Also it does depend on the name. For example a local charity would be great, yet something like IKEA? Nooooooo......
That pop out of nowhere.
Mel C must've felt a bit awkward knowing that one of her best friends was guilty of this. Adam Hills said if you won't do it to a child don't do it to a stadium, Mel seemed to agree judging by her laughter yet her friend and bandmate Victoria Beckham has a daughter who is named after a fashion mag and a shirt number - anyone else notice that?
Jayne Eisan Actually Harper is an old English name.
@@teresayeates8327 Her middle name is 7 ☺
I live in south florida and beckham is going to start a club here. Im so afraid that the stadiums name is going to be something stupid like doritos stadium.
double decker is cadbury not nestle
Chesterfield's ground is called "The Proact"...it's the only thing I don't like about it (although the football played there can be iffy sometimes)
Smoothie King Center, home of the New Orleans Pelicans
Certainly any football team with a stadium named after its sponsor can never call it's self a big club.
Witton Albion aren't a big club. There isn't a place called Witton- they play in Northwich near Warrington.
When Rowntree's was in York before it got sold off to Nestle and its lines shipped off to Poland, KitKats were made in York.
I'll name some stadiums I've been to. Etihad (Man City) Reebok (Bolton) John Smiths (Huddersfield) Keepmoat (Doncaster) JJB (Wigan)
+kflem80 another problem with naming rights. Someone mentions they are going to see a team play at Etihad Stadium..... which Etihad stadium are they talking about??? Also, when you get naming rights end and a new sponsor takes over, it creates confusion and it all ends up as though the crowd doesn't feel ownership and connection with their team, sport or a place.
St jame's park is not a public stadium
This happened to my team bury FC when the renamed Gigg Lane to the JD stadium hate it no character
I didn't even recognise Mel C. She has the most annoying laugh though.
Double decker is not made by nestle...
That model stadium is named after McDonalds.
Dont think that's a fake laugh that's the sound of a scouser.
Mel C. What a horrendous gob. Well said Adam Hills, when the corporate get involved it really cheapens it. For example, the Rock/Metal Festival was called Donnington because it's at Castle Donnington. Then, it was changed to Download. Stupid name.
Also, Franks joke at the end there doesn't work as Double Decker is owned by Cadbury.
Owen Fitzgerald Donington was the racetrack and therefore just a nickname., the event was officially called the Monsters Of Rock.
Hellwyck What's the castle called?
What the racetrack and castle are called Castle Donington (the castle iand racetrack are ) but that's irrelevant as you said the *event* was called Donington - that was only a nickname, the official name of the event was The Monsters Of Rock.
That's true. It became known as Donnington for me.
And it did for a lot of people because it's shorter to say than "Donington Monsters Of Rock".
Little trivia: The Monsters Of Rock was originally only intended to be the final show for Rainbow's 1979 tour but was so successful, they had it again the next year (different bands)
I think he meant to say STADIA & not STADIUMS
Actually, o pedantic one, both are accepted and stadiums is the more popular usage. Besides, 'stadia' has different meanings not associated with sporting venues eg a unit of measurement.
Being accepted does not mean that both are correct (ignorance can be very popular), as for the moron on the F1 team who constantly refers to Grand Prees - god give me strength!

Or are you saying some of the world`s most well-researched dictionaries are all coincidentally wrong by accident?
There are some words that are commonly misspelled such as 'whoa,' but then there are some words with multiple correct spellings that quite a few people think are wrong. In your words, ignorance can be very popular after all.
hmmm - American english? I don't subscribe to the bastardisation of my beloved language by Americans who cannot be bothered to learn to spell properly. Even if I did it would not matter in this context as stadium/stadia are LATIN words.
Seven.
Mel C looks pretty fuckin decent...sounds as bad as ever though.
Double Decker is made Cadbury, so the joke doesn't work.
He called it "NES-luh." It's "NEST-lee."
"N-E-S-T-L-E-S. Nestle's make the very best. Choc'late."
CalLadyQED He pronounced it as Nes-lay, which is correct.
That's not how they say it in their own American TV commercials.
***** They are swiss, there is an accent on the final 'e' which is an -ay sound.
Edit: in the same way that the accent on café is pronounced caf-ay not caf-ee.
I understand that. However, in Nestle's American commercials, they say LEE.
***** Are you seriously saying that you didn't realise that companies change the content of their commercials depending on the country? Do you think European Nestlé commercials say nes-lee? They (quite unfairly and patronisingly) dumb things down for American audiences.
You can tell by his little "ooh" that he wasn't expecting so many of the audience to agree.
He had no idea of the petty snobbishness the British have towards business and corporations - as if the only legitimate businesses are corner shops.
