To love Ant & Dec and think they are my friends?

Is there anyone out there who doesn't love Ant and Dec? They're brilliant, yet seemingly still quite normal, I can quite imagine having a few beers with them down the pub and know we'd get on just smashing if the situation ever arose. I nearly wet myself laughing at the Aled Jones sketch on Saturday Night Takeaway tonight, I love how they always seem on the edge of losing it and dissolving into giggles.

PS I know they aren't really my friends, but sometimes I do daydream that they are Grin

ONE OF THEM admotted to voting Tory - i can't remember which one - and even if i could remember the name - i still wouldn't know which one it was - needless to say i now hate them both.

I will laugh at the shiny suited little bastards when they reduce themselves to celebrity BB

YANBU - they genuinely lovely blokes who have worked so hard for their success. I don't know them, but have met them a few times through work - they always turn up on time and are friendly and polite to everyone, but deadly serious off camera. They rehearse and rehearse and rehearse. They are perfectionists.

I think it's an unspoken law that all Geordies love Ant & Dec and we all have a vague connection to at least one of them.

Loved Chums, Challenge Ant and Wonky Donkey "It's got to rhyme man!"

ThePathanKhansAmnesiac · 18/03/2013 22:07

They were fine when they were younger.

Now, as they age, I find the both of them odd, and faintly sinister.

In fact they're like two escapees from The League of Gentlemen.

myroomisatip · 18/03/2013 22:07

whey aye man!

They're bloody champion! lol

aww well, I moved away a long time ago and my 'Geordie' isn't so good.

Off track - one of my biggest regrets is not seeing Lindisfarne at the City Hall! :(

WorriedMummy73 · 18/03/2013 22:10

Daeneryschild - I have literally only come onto this thread to say how I loved when Dec would get irate at people not getting the concept of Wonky Donkey, but you've beaten me to it!

Did anybody else see them doing Ant & Dec on Soccer AM? They're replaced them with the Hairy Strikers now, but every week 'Ant' was blinded by something and would wander off screen shouting 'I'm blind, Dec, I'm BLIND'. sheer brilliance.

BumpingFuglies · 18/03/2013 22:44

MY friends. Not yours.

They are fab though Grin

Smtv was genius! (Me and Dh used to watch it in bed, pre dc) it was not for children! Most of the jokes were not aimed at children.
I loved the letter that was sent in (when they sung that postman song, stop wait a minute Mr postman, waaaaait Mr postman...) when a lad wrote in to say his dad used to pump in the biscuit tin, then when his friends came round his dad used to offer his mates biscuits out of the tin he pumped in!
I have a very immature sense of humour and found this (and still do) flippin hilarious!

Sorry, bit off track there, but I love them, Dh does too. Crackin blokes. Entertainment programmes from the last decade would be shit, without Ant and Dec. Orsum dudes!

shewhowines · 19/03/2013 08:33

i quite fancy Dec

HolidayArmadillo · 19/03/2013 08:45

Wonky Donkey!! 'it's got to rhyme man!!!' I loved it. They definitely made Saturday morning tv for me. Mind I'm a little disconcerted to hear one of them votes Tory, I'm glad I don't know which one.

I do like them and they seem to share a real partnership that no one can divide. I hear they have a lot of advice from a team of people they have had around for a long time. They are well rehearsed, professional and that is the key to their success. I wish them well but it is like they have a monopoly on all the great compere jobs.

lollilou · 19/03/2013 10:31

Worraliberty you stole my way of telling them apart! Grin Except I think, hit the deck, which is closer to the ground.

That is brilliant, thanks!
You can't beat real laughter either! Very contagious.

HolidayArmadillo · 19/03/2013 12:37

It made me laugh a lot. Bring back smtv I say!

Following last nights rendition of 'Lets Get Ready to Rhumble' I love Ant & Dec even more.

I did a little Appreciation Thread after last night. Grin

cornyvin · 24/03/2013 20:32

does anyone remember when they used to do the corrs?
'We're beautiful.'

IAmLouisWalsh · 24/03/2013 20:33

Love them.

I remember them telling a story about beign invited to a meeting at ITV when they were moving from SMTV into prime time, and being given one badge between them which read 'Anton Dick'. That is how they are known to me and DH now!

HolidayArmadillo · 24/03/2013 20:54

I think I am going to re read their autobiography. I remember laughing out loud reading it first time.
