Come on Guy

If you've been flipping through the (welfare TV) channels on a Tuesday night at about 10pm, you would have come across a pair of poorly dressed fools with fake 'staches ... in fact their shorts are tighter than Naas' were when he first burst onto the Currie Cup scene.

Corne and Twakkie are the hosts of The Most Amazing Show (phonetic, with Cape Town accent: The Moooost Amaaaaazing Shoooow). On a low budget Caravan Park set, Corne and Twakkie spoof local accents, celebrities and South African culture ... in general they put on a poor show of terrible comedy, unrehearsed skits and a jaccuzzi that doubles up as the guest couch. These guys are bad, really bad. Digesting their comedy will take more than a few stiff whiskey's between 6pm and 10pm before they come on air.

BUT I cannot get enough of these "guys" ... they have me in stitches on Tuesday nights and also between 10am and 11am on Zuraida Jardine's 5fm show as The Love Captain distills his guru-like advice for lovers, with a sick twist. Go ahead, take apart my fine appreciation for comedy and class ... say what you will, these "guys" are the best ... guy.

  • I watched them for the first time last week. Totally bad - but some amazing social commentary thrown in - their so-called weather forecast is one example. And I liked what they had to say about President "Boensch" - scathing and very clever under those false "snors"!
