Announcers on TV

[GeoffM]

Does anyone else find the announcers, especially the guys for the WSOP, just comical. Those guys are absolutely hilarious to me. My bro and I will sit in fron of the tv and laugh at every other line they throw. Some memorable ones:

"Hand in the cookie jar"
"The RobinHood of poker"
"The carwash man"

Got any others? I know there are tons, just can't remember them right now.

my favorite from norm chad thi syear was about helmuth.

he said something like "his first book was called how to play like the pros, his next book will be called how to cry like a baby." this came after one of the classic hellmuth meltdowns.

in general i think they do a pretty good job, but only for entertainment purposes. i dont exactly trust them for their expert analysis of the plays.

[GeoffM]

Agreed they aren't exactly experts when analyzing the hands, but they are hilarious.

They are the main reason I watch.

I'll be watching again, we get it Sunday for 3 hours, I'll post some of the witty remarks they state.

[GeoffM]

Oh, wait, I just remembered 1.

Somebody was dealt QQ on Sunday and they said:

"Oh my, he's drawn 2 ladies, 2 divas, the Hilton sisters, whatever you want to call them, he has a huge pair".

Hilton sisters, lol, just classic. Can't wait to hear what they have to say on Sunday, they always come up with something new and hilarious for me to giggle at like a school girl .

Does anyone know when they actually do the comentary, seems like they couldn't possibly be doing it as that action happens so they must just get the edited down tape and only do comentary for that, I suppose.

[GeoffM]

I believe they do indeed do it live, no doubt in a sound proof booth or something.

Some of the lines are ridiculous, but I find WPT to be at least better than Poker MIllion (British Poker show, anouncers suck ass)!
