News The Footy Show has been boned was met with unbridled scenes of celebration and tears of joy from rugby league fans around Australia.
“I’ll never have to sit through ‘Small Talk With The Big Marn’ ever again”, said Nick Pollack, an aspiring filmmaker from Darlinghurst, 46. “Not that I’ve watched The Footy Show in the last 10 years but just to know ‘Small Talk With The Big Marn’ was on was enough to depress me.”
The good news comes just one day after the grand final on a day NRL fans are experiencing the post-season blues.
A spokesperson for Channel 9 said the timing was deliberate. “We know NRL fans get depressed after the GF so we wanted to give them something to cheer about. Footy fans never having to endure The Footy Show again was always going to be met with elation.”
The share price of Channel 9 has tripled since the announcement.
Darryl Brohman AKA ‘The Big Marn’ remains upbeat about the announcement. “I still believe in ‘Small Talk With The Big Marn’ and I’m currently in discussions about reworking the segment into a three hour stadium spectacular. I believe I can pack out stadiums across Australia.”
Beau Ryan has reacted in a similar fashion. In spite of the fact there were no cameras present Ryan was spotted in Parramatta mall this morning interviewing unemployed residents while making derogatory comments and pulling faces behind their backs.
“If taking the piss out of some unemployed bloke isn’t funny I don’t know what it is”, said Ryan. “As I’ve always said, Beau Knows Best”.
