This is possibly the best video we’ve seen this Olympics.
It’s commentary on “some boats in a race” from an Irish comedian named Francis “Fran” Higgins.
OK, so let’s be frank – sailing is not the most exciting sport to watch. But this may very well put it on the map.
Stick with it until the end. (And there’s a couple of swear words in there, so it might not be safe for work).
And then there’s this Olympic diving video which is also going viral today.
Not that we were laughing, but….
Still feel you haven’t had enough Olympic laughs for one day? Okay, ONE MORE. (Bossy…)
Here are some Olympians who were um, really, really happy, about their achievements. It doesn’t matter how good your poker face is – there is no covering up what the Lycra reveals.

Sweet, the way commentary should be done! There’s a dude in NZ who did alternative Games audio commentary for all kinds of events, I think he usually does rugby. Funny stuff, just toking up and smashing beer and calling sports. He’s on http://www.youcommentate.com .. check it out. I think anyone can do it?

It’s been deleted… but if you do a google search for Francis Higgins and Boats then you’ll be able to find it again!

I’d watched it three times, commented on the guy’s Vimeo page then shared the link myself and now it’s bloody gone. I’m not surprised but kind of wish the IOC could see the funny side of things. Now all of my mates will have no idea what I’m talking about

my some does a lot of adventure sports during his summer vacations. Last year he complained to me he had lots of trouble trekking across the Mohabi desert as his sneakers got very hot. Are their any special children shoes I can get to prevent this problem from happening next time?

I think I’ve watched/listened to this almost 10 times this morning. And it’s still so funny!

HILARIOUS! I thought exactly the same thing when I was watching. Didn’t realise it was the bloody start haha

It sounds like he is commentating under the belief that no-one is actually listening, funny

I am still laughing. Funny, funny, funny stuff.

This is hilarious! I love the comment about hearing the Australians before you saw them…very true.

I find this very funny! But I am an Irish woman. Never heard of the comedian though. Also the swearing would make this NSFW guys.

Thanks Margaret – I’ve added a warning
