The Ice Dream with Roy and HG |
Targets of humour included Vladimir Putin, "useful" Russian phrases, New Zealand, the public toilets in the Olympic Park and Russian pop and folk music. Roy and HG also provided commentary for several events, parodying the pressure commentators put on athletes, with HG getting extremely upset when Australian athletes were beaten, and Roy being extremely critical of them for under-performing.
