"It's like we predicted the future"

Last week, a topic here started off about yoghurt pots and ended up with us proposing a show where Terry Nutkins fought various simians in zero-gravity arenas. It was to be called "Monkey Punch".
Well....

I wonder if we can sue for stealing our future-thoughts?

Yeah, I actually heard about this a while ago. The only contest I knew of was the one with the man trying to beat the bear at eating.

I'm also in the process of making all you Nutkin/monkey related Big-Brother-esque dreams come true...

The forums idea was much better, I mean - 1 elephant against 44 men ???

It should be 1 vs 1 all the way.

Did you see the eating compo - man vs bear ? - what happens when the bear decides he'd rather try to eat the man ? that would be a real show...

There was also a bit where a little dude had to pull a jumbo jet over a set distance faster than an elephant or something. Is it me or is American TV suddenly getting so terrible it's ace?

I've looked at the "challenges" and they suck.
Who wants to see a dude race a giraffe? I want to see an ex-Marine fighting a Kodiak bear, not out-eating it.
And I want to see an Olympic swimmer try to beat a crocodile in a river-swin.

And Terry Nutkins being beaten stupid by an enraged Orangutan in zero-G.

The gits, we worked hard on developing our ideas.

Anyway why would you want to watch someone race a Giraffe? Two drunken Hippos racing on an ice rink would be a better televisual prospect. Also if there weren't silly laws protecting animals, we'd all love to see if a Polar Bear would best a Gorilla in a scrap.

Yet they make it legal to broadcast Eastenders.

Go figure.

My money would be on the Polar Bear.

He'd just let the stupid Gorilla walk around beating his chest and wear himself out and then go in for the kill.

Polar bears aint as cuddly as they look.

Chicken vs Werewolf
Polar Bear vs Standy-Still Statue man in Covent Garden
Anaconda vs that old biddy that played Ethel in Eastenders.
Enraged Hippo vs Toby Anstis
Gorilla vs Graham Norton (Trading Places flashback here)

I want gore and fleeing and teeth and fur-ripping.
Or at least a drunken Elephant trying to get back to it's enclosure with loads of irate midgets lobbing velcro spears at a vest it's been forced to wear.

I second that proposal, though ironically if we had a T-rex vs Standy-Still Statue man in Covent Garden, he'd be doing the exact thing to keep himself alive.

Stubborn Donkey vs Vociferous Velociraptor

Belligerent Badger vs Ostentacious Otter

Playful Puppy from Blue Peter vs Ugly man from any Refuse collection crew with shovel and brick

Tony Anstis gets fine women.

Nice.
