Baywatch

Baywatch, as practiced in Birmingham U.K. A little spoof of Baywatch, filmed around one of Brums landmark pieces of public art. It made me laugh anyway. (windows media player required)

Ha Ha! Thanks, Fat Buddha! Another great Baywatch spoof was the gleaming-white-teeth, slow-motion classic by French and Saunders.

And you thought New Yorkers tended to ignore things. In Britain it's like an oriental art.

That second link is perhaps the single worst website I've ever seen, if only because of its "academic" status.

Having looked again, I think I would have to agree the second link is terrible. Sorry.

This kind of stunt reminds me a Trigger Happy TV on Comedy Central. That show cracks me up.

It's very Midlands. Thanks, FB, for reminding me of home. ;)

Quite amusing. Thanks much. (Currently waiting for a commercial in the wife's show to drag her over to see it.)

That's the funniest thing I've seen in a long while. Thanks!
