~~~~ The "Magic" Mark Burdis Appreciation Thread ~~~~

Quite impressive in that advert, never stumbled or stuttered once.

 

love honour and obey final cut alrite bev alrite kev

 

Who's being messing with his wiki page?

"Mark Burdis (born 2 March 1968) is a prolific English actor"
"A huge campaign saw Mark as the character 'Kev' in Television adverts for AA Car Insurance"
"He has also been the voice over for major world brands most recently for Portugal Tourism."
"He is a top boxing ring announcer for major British fights on TV."

 

He's a useless ring announcer. Stuttering, mixing up his weights, weight classes etc. He also never uses a boxer's nickname for some reason. I was pleased that they got Lennon jr last night but he must have gone off for a pint after the first fight and only came back at the end.

But we don't seem to have any good British MCs. Burdis is toilet, as much as I liked that advert. The black guy that did the Jason Booth fight isn't very good either and neither is the fat guy.

 

:yep

Dave Darts always fails at that.

 

The guys ****ing useless and ruining fights with his incompetence. I mean you train all your life for that moment....to hear either Classy Jimmy or Mr Buffer call you out and here them use there line ''it's showtime!!'' ''let's get ready to rumble''. And when you win title you hear ''and new!!!!!! champion of the world''.

You get to that night and as you walk up to entrance to arena for your ring walk you here ''are you ready!!'' like were in Butlins. Then he stutters over mic and reads out wrong weight and doesn't even know how to read the judges scorecards properly.

Sorry but the guy annoys me.

 

'Shogun' Logan is our best MC IMO. Although he did balls up the scores for the Booth-Molitor fight.

 

Jim's a legend and is pure class something Burdiss ain't.

And this is boxing ain't BBC 1 at Lakeside mate. Guys ****ing **** poor and Logan ain't much better. He Lucky the other lot ain't around a lot anymore cos he's **** as well.

 

It's not Robot Wars!






I wish it was, Robot Wars was ****ing awesome...

 

The bloke that did the robot wars thing on Phoenix Nights has more stage presence than any of the British MC's.

 

Speaking of Darts, since Darke is moving on...how about some Sid for the commentating?
