Dennis Commetti 'isms'

[Gabbie]

The "Disfunctional Blind Date" comment cracked me up

 

[Vidman]

*bump*

Season's about to start

 

[twon]

great one i heard was during Freo vs Essendon at Subi in 2006. Matt and Josh Carr were having a stoush with Lovett-Murray and he called it like this:
"The Carr Brothers are wrestling with Lovett-Murray. They should name this a Garage Match"

GOLD!

 

[Vulcan]

In view of recent revelations his
"Cousins runs away from Carr"
last year takes on even more meaning.

He had another one tonight, probably been done before but Jason Gram was running out of defence, bounced the ball, but it bounced horribly and went behind him and cometti goes "Should be an umpire"

 

[roostersgal4eva]

From the Bulldogs/Cats game yesterday on the smiling assassin Brad Johnson:
"Good thing he didnt ride to the game on a motorbike, otherwise he'd have dead insects all over his teeth"

 

[Vidman]

On an in the back free kick, Bulldogs/Cats


"AFL trying to outlaw pushers, both on and off the field"

Strangely silence from the other commentators.

Ah, will the great man ever lose his touch?

"Oh God, I can't read my own handwriting... I'm like a Doctor in a wind tunnel!"

 

[dtm06]

When Steve Johnson and Brad johnson hit each other in Sundays game he went, " A medically sound hit. Johnson and Johnson"

 

[shoe]

Only been a few weeks of footy and these are all brilliant already. Unreal

 

[BarcaRulz]

I liked when Brad Johnson was sandwiched between Hurley and Johnson from Geelong, and Commetti said:

"Its like being between a rock and a bald place"



Gold!

I think you mean David Johnson, Steve is goneski till at least round 6.

Still, bloody brilliant

Ah, yes, this was the one I thought was clever. How Cometti manages to come up with these kinds of witticisms whilst calling the game and not losing his concentration is beyond me.

I was so glad Channel 7 signed him!

 

[dtm06]

Bruce : Geez the lions are looking sharp aren't they?

Dennis: (can't exactly remember but was sumthing like) "Sharper than my grandmothers toenails bruce.

The other commentators actually laughed too.

 

[royalist]

The respect you are giving him means Den has no equal.

 

[footyman]

Gram, becoming a heavyweight in the competition.

Are u serious? He sits at home and thinks them up before the game, then keeps them on a bit of paper in front of him, and pulls them out at the appropriate moment.

Having said that, he's pretty damn smooth at it, isn't he

 

[Johnson#26]

Gram, becoming a heavyweight in the competition.

Haha, beat me to it.

He had another one, although I've forgotten it now...

 

[zakus]

Moderators why is this thread not a sticky!!

Stand up comedians are still funny... as long as its a classic, I dont care when he wrote it
