Olympic Commentators
You've seen the movie "Best in Show" right? Remember the commentators in the dog show? It was Fred Willard, and some british guy. Fred Willard had no idea what he was talking about and made comments like "And to think that in some countries these dogs are eaten." and "How much do you think I can bench press?"
So last night as I was watching the Men's and Women's long program in figure skating (yes, my olympic junky-hood has even driven me to watch figure skating), it sounded like Fred Willard all over again. The male commentator obviously had no idea what he was talking about, and the female (who sounded like she had some skating experience) was constantly correcting him and shooting down everything he said. However nothing prepared her for his comment after the Russian team's solid (gold-winning) performance,
"Their spot on the podium is secure as all get out."
Yes- on international coverage of the Olympics, the phrase "as all get out" was used. I'm excited to watch tonight when he says that the Chinese biathlete can ski "like a mutha" and the U.S. bobsled team is "straight up dizzope".
