Rio's practical jokey thingy on ITV

Dr. Nick

Thankfully I missed most of this, saw the end of Rooney, then James and Beckham.

Wow, how bad can ITV get?

almost as bad as rio's defending....almost

Dr. Nick

I shouldn't say I was thankful to see most of it of course, I was actually glad to see it, in a drop-jaw sort of way.

Well, it's Rio "I'm sorry I missed a mandatory drugs test, I was moving house, but it's not a big deal is it?" Ferdinand for Heaven's sake!

I did like watching Beckham getting pissed off with the driving and gettting out of the car while it was still moving and Neville showing himself up to be a total twat even without trying.

And dear God if ever in a life-or-death accident, please do not let Wayne Rooney be first on the scene!!

Dr. Nick

Neville made a twat of himself?

Hold on, I think I've seen this one........

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Ah, yes, but this was more genuine because he didn't know he was on camera!

someone shud tell Rio he is a footballer with a weird upper lip thing going and NOT Ashton Kutcher and he is NOT doing Punk'd................. oh and where the fu*k did he get the phrase "merkd" !!!!!!!!!!!

It made me want to shoot myself everytime i saw him attempt to say the word in a punkdesque way!

herbieflowers

Rio thinks he should be playing NBA. Well, he wishes he was, he's so cool.

for gods sake we already know Rio is an idiot but does he really think he is cool enuf to pull that "merkd" comment off! i mean maybe Vinnie Jones cud but Rio!!!

It reminds me of that old that grandad "Westwood" trying to say "you've been pimped" while trying to ensure he doesnt pull a muscle or sumtin!

Worst Program ever!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

I disagree with all who posted so far. I thought the SWP wind up was pretty decent just because he wouldn't harm a fly. Watching the Rooney wind up I can honestly say I haven't laughed so much watching the telly alone in months.

Worst thing I've ever seen. And thats somthing, because I've seen this

i have to say i actually enjoyed the gags, especially the Rooney one but i thought Rio came across as a complete tool, oh and so did David James who reinforced all our assumptiuons bout him being a fruit cake with his ridiculous comments on a childs painting!


but Becks came across quite well!

I think people on here seem to just judge it on a Punk'd wanna be show. I couldn't care what Rio thinks he is, Rooney being punk'd was funnier than anything I can remember seeing on MTV.

I actually enjoyed some of them.The SWP one was amusing and the player came across very well on it.
The Rooney one was funny too especially with his girlfriend laughing in the background as he held the drip of the "dying dog".

I thought they played Gary Neville very well too.I didnt think he came across as a twat and admired him for wanting to take the points rather than have them quashed for a photo.:D

What about letting him take the photo and then going down the station...? In any case, I think Neville copped that it was a wind-up long before Rio showed up.

what was he saying anyway? "youve been merc'd"? or somethin sap.

I saw a bit of this programme. For me, its too much towards entertainment and not football, which is what these lads should be concentrating on. This merking and bling bling is what has them in the state they are and takes away from their professionalism. On a day when Roy Keane has announced his retirement, I am sure you wouldnt get Rio trying to 'merk' him, or he would get a head-butt in the face and rightly so.

The fly-on-the-wall camera aspect though did give us some insight into some of these players. Rooney is a lamb and a young boy, he wasnt even able to respond to the kid or indeed the dying 'dog'. Mind you, Rooney off the field is completely different to Rooney on the field. Its as if a switch is turned on. Beckham did show that he has some guts (off the field). Rio though, is a bit of a buffoon, and this shows on the field at times when he makes his blunders, along with David James. Gary Neville, well, the word prat comes to mind.

For those that missed this programme, you didnt miss anything!

Here's a few more clips from it. It's rubbish but no worse than that punk'd show it has to be said.

Beckham (probably the better of the two)

LOL, so true.

Neville came across as a smarmy f*ck. No surprise there, then.

Keedowah

I only caught the last few pranks. Hated him saying Merked!

Thought that Beckham came across real well on it though - and felt sorry for the guy when he had to lay down on the floor of the car when being picked up!

Dr. Dre

Terrible. Terrible TV.
If anyone should be embarrassed about anything in the show it should be Rio himself - what an utter tool. Let's just say that that stupid wrist flicking thing he was doing wouldn't be alien to him :mad:
