Why does that video remind me of the infamous "It's a Royal Knockout"?

Stick to the tennis, guys ...

Ratty, this might be a moronic question, but is that quote genuine?

Yes indeed, watch this and cringe!



The point I was making in a slightly OTT way was that people who are not professional entertainers should - IMO - never try to entertain. Being "natural" is a skill that most people have to learn, and most of the participants in the video come over as unscripted, expressionless and self-conscious.

Note particularly that the natural reaction when someone is asked a question - or is thinking - is to look off to the side. This is coached out of people in media-training, because it looks very odd on TV.

And singing - NO, NO, NO!!!!!

Oh, I'd taken it that Reeltime was referring to Ratty's Djokovic quote  smile

Anyway, as for the original, I'd say just an absolutely harmless piece of silliness and quite nice just to put some faces to a number of names.

PS :  I do agree that "It's a Royal Knockout" was cringeworthy, but then it purported to be a proper programme.

Oh sorry, my bad.

Er, no, I don't believe that Novak ever said that. But he should have done. (I have an awful feeling that he really thinks his crackpot diet made him No 1.)
