- Reaction To Roy & HG - Gymnastics/Eric Moussambani (The Dream - Sydney Olympics 2000)
This is my reaction to Roy & HG - Gymnastics/Eric Moussambani (The Dream - Sydney Olympics 2000)
This is another reaction to Roy and HG and their show The Dream from the 2000 Sydney Olympics. In this the provide commentary for Gymnastics and Swimming.

Original Video - • The Dream with Roy & H...
I'm not into sports but I watched every night - Sydney was in total party mode - fond memories and an era that will never happen again
Yeah those two really make any sport interesting and fun to watch.
I tell you, Eric Moussambani has guts. Imagine being alone at the pool in that huge stadium, never having been in one that big, and barely able to swim. He was the Champion of the Olympics for me.
The Aussie crowd went absolutely berserk for Eric Moussambani. We love an underdog down here. It's worth listening to the race without Roy and HG just to hear how supportive the crowd was.
Absolutely, it was such a heartwarming moment. Man, 2000 was such a great Olympic games!
eric the eel, he'd never swam in an olympic size swimming pool before the games, won his heat because the other two guys jump the start and were disqualified eric swam by himself and beat the equatorial guinea record (his pb) by about half a second and the crowd cheered like mad even though he took double the amount of time of the olympic record and it was the slowest time ever in an olympic heat.
Didn’t the Australian team buy him a uniform as well?
I think the Aussies took Eric surfing.
speedo gave him a racing suit, he partied with the australian swimmers and they took him surfing. he was also given shoes etc. equatorial guinea built two olimpic size pools and eric the eel was their national swim coach and he shaved over a minute off his olympic time.
Remember the next time he came out they'd outfitted him in the Ian Thorpe sharkskin suit? Hilarious!!
Hello boys followed by the battered sav, horizontal Duch wink into a diddley squat and spin the date with twinkle
yes, he was nicknamed Eddie the Eel by the commentators.
everyone in the stadium stood and cheered him on.
the top swimmers supported him.
as the winner of his heat, he automatically went to the next heat, and one gave him one of his old fast suits to do the next heat in
The best part is their complete trust in one another - the relationship! One came up with an adlib term and the other went along with it automatically like it was rehearsed! Amazing!! I don't remember them covering the diving, but I do remember the normally tedious synchronised swimming - epic/hilarious! 😄
We were in the crowd and everybody went just mental cheering our hearts out
Roy and HG did the synchronised swimming commentary as well, it was epic!
Their Cricket Test commentary was legendary.. 4-5 DAYS of pure genius..
I wish Roy and HG would do. Recap of every Olympics since at least the 60s 😂😂😂😂 … I think it was almost Eric the Rock
Not sure if anyone mentioned elsewhere, but you have to see the divebombing event they held for all the Australian mascots, Syd, Olly, dickhead, the boxing Kangaroo and Fatso the Wombat. They also did Weightlifting, Synchronised Swimming and some of the other Gymnastics
Not sure if you've seen it , but Roy and HGs winter Olympic is an absolute classic, Australia's first ever gold medal in the speed skating is absolutely hilarious, for more reasons than you might think ........
Dear Scottish Guy In Malaysia. Learning about Australia
If you haven't seen this already, the video is a great snippet of and into Roy & HG's work th-cam.com/video/vIp6q3edq5E/w-d-xo.html
PS I first stared listening to Roy & HG radio program, This Sporting Life (on 2JJJ) in 1986, so really enjoy watching your enjoyment. This is cross/intergenerational enjoyment 🎶✊
You have a wonderfully defiant accent, sir. Proud and delightful.
Spent some Weekends listening to Roy & HG called the Footy games, turn sound off on TV, turn up ABC Radio, & I hate Football ...
It's 2 friends talking shit. And a guy from a radio station heard them. Then Roy and HG was delivered. It only took them 10 years to be an overnight success
Eric the eel, I thought you would've been to young to remember
Refreshing to see a non raving yank LOVE these legends🤣🤣❣❣
@MSTV Another Dream with Roy and HG episode that would be worth reviewing is their commentary on the Synchronized Swimming where they comment on the Australian pair telling the story of The Building of The Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Love Roy and HG supporting Eric versus other commentary where they were quite negative about the swim. Between them and Darryl Eastlake, we have the best supportive commentators
Thumbs up this guy! He is just a great presenter for lazy people. I think I love him
I've got a few Rugby League games synced with Roy and HG commentary. One day I'll get around to upload them. Also, try to find Roy and HG Olympic weightlifting at the 2000 games.
Watching Origin with the TV volume down and listening to Roy and HG commentate on JJJ was EPIC!
See if you can get a hold of Princess Anne presenting the four's rowing medals! that'll bring a tear.
Not gonna lie, Eric can still swim better than I can.
They do a good commentary of the women's diving from 2000 too
Yes, 😂😂👌
Hey man I actually like your content and the way you make it not about you. Being an AustrAlien I am intrigued by your reaction as a pommie bastard. Same as if I started showing Monty Python or Mr Bean etc if I had never seen an episode. You do good by me. You are a good person I can tell. When you are famous please do not let the temptation to ego and pretending get the better of you. Thanks mate. I actually like pommies they bathe as frequently as I do.
Turn the sound up.
Just bought The Dream on dvd from ebay. It’s as funny now as it was then. I loved the fact that they could take the piss without any bullshit WOKE nonsense. They were the days👌
Is Eric the Eel mates with Eddie the Eagle 😂
I wonder if the Equatorial Guinea national record was actually fictional and just added to the video for comedic purposes.
Very astute observation as I would have never had noticed.
No, I was living in Sydney at the time of the 2000 Olympics and I clearly remember Eric the Eel's heat. The national record - about a full minute outside the world record - was real.
The image of him chopping up and down almost on the spot and the momentary fear that he might actually start to sink is etched on my memory.
And the presenter here is right: he did acquire the nickname Eric the Eel. No, he isn't getting it mixed up with Eddie the Eagle, although I daresay that provided part of the inspiration for the title.
I think you are thinking of Eddie the Eagle a Ski jumper in the winter Olympics . Im not sure but I think he represented England
I think you're thinking of Eddie the eagle the English ski jumper.
Clarke and Dawe if you want comedic chemistry, look up "The Front Fell Off"
He did it.
@@gusdrivinginaustralia6168 he did? off to look.
Why the hell was this taken down?
I think your thinking of Eddie the eagle
No this IS Eric the eel.
Roy and HG water polo call was priceless. :):):) th-cam.com/video/2FTFsc65weM/w-d-xo.html
You should have looked Eric up before you posted
can you please make the video we are watching the larger image on the screen. You are very handsome but I think most of us want to see the actual video a bit larger. just unsubscribed.
