Total Wipe Out/Richard Hammond

21 replies

I love Total Wipe Out (thinking of applying) and I really like Richard Hammond but I do not find him funny, his humour just does not work for me.

So am I on my own?

To steal David Mitchell's joke, he just doesn't know when to stop Blush :o

Fair play to you

I couldn't face those big red balls personally Grin

I am always ready for some balls :)

He is quite cute and OK on Top Gear but on Total Wipe Out he would be fine too if it wasn't for his jokes that are not funny.

how could NOT love the Hamster???

a friend recently went for the trial in B'ham, got through first round but failed on second. He had fun though.

Good luck.Smile

Can't stand him. local radio DJ who got lucky in my opinion!

im with vintage hammy is cute!!!! :)

JaceyBee · 16/02/2011 20:35

He's a fucking idiot, did you hear what he said about Mexicans? Racist twat.

I've never liked him, he is nowhere near as funny as he likes to think he is and tbh I've never been able to get past the stupid hair. Seriously, the man has the worst hair on television.

Good luck on applying for TW though, let us know if you get on!

my kids love this, have to admit it always makes me laugh out loud - the show that is, not Hammond (though don't really mind him).

DD adores Total Wipeout. She gets us all to kneel down in a row and punch randomly, simulating the sucker punch as she runs past, then I have to improvise and pretend I'm a sweeper arm before she leaps across the armchairs the big red balls.

She says Richard Hammond is 'the man with the funny hair'.

She's 3.

maryz - seems like the guy I knew didn't make enough mistakes!!!

senua · 17/02/2011 11:20

So we don't like comments about Mexicans but comments about Brummies are OK ... Hmm

You do realise they have scriptwriters for the show and most of the time he's just reading it from an autocue?

Not very good ones Iklboo, point is he does not make the jokes work.

Why do they go to Argentina, BBC have to much cash? The weather does not look that great anyway

Can they not do the show in a swimming pool in the UK, like Gladiators - another show I would love a go at?

Although I hope they do not change the venue if they take me!

They take the best and worst. Hmmm it is hard to be the best, I think I have a plan.

They go to Argentina because that is where the TWO course is based. It is (I believe) an Endemol production/idea and is sold to countries worldwide so each country sends their own competitors, presenters and film crew to use the set-up in Argentina.

Af for Richard Hammond - Don't like him. Liked him in his early days on Top Gear, when he was Hammie and cute. Now he is just a twat with bad hair.
