I’m crying with laughter at that, I just lost it when I saw that geeza throwing them darts, now on whenever I’m feeling down I’m gonna watch this clip, the NHS would save millions if they instead provide this clip instead of anti depressants.
yea thats why Bullseye would never work these days, the 'darts player' would be a LOT higher standard (its said a decent pub player these would be a top 50 in the world player in the 80s), but even more of a difference would be the 'non darts player' (those who applied would be professional game show players who would be practicing arrows night and day). Remember, back in the 1980s there was pretty much no way to practice darts like there is today, where anyone can go to a pub darts board and throw, or just spend £20 at sports direct for thier own board....
@@Debbiebabe69Almost every pub,function hall ,snooker hall had a dart board so there was places to go. Thats why a darts show took off because people were playing and watching darts. You could buy a board in the catalogues i remember that. Its almost as if the contestants sometimes were picked based on how bad they were rather than how good.
All he had to do was listen to Tony's soothing words of wisdom. "Take your time, no rush, just take your time, no rush at all, just settle in, plenty of time, all the time in the world"
Tony Green must have been s***ing himself as he threw them! The dart player did well to keep his composure with his last three darts as he's clearly trying not to laugh his head off!
If anybody placed their hands on people these days as much as Jim did you'd be stuck with a harassment charge. He literally never stops touching them whenever he's in range.
I feel for the guy actually. He knew his friend was good at darts and he was good at the questions (otherwise they wouldn't have got to the prize boards).
Reminds me of the scene from Pulp Fiction where the guy misses Samuel L Jackson with six shots from point blank range. I wonder if the board became a born again Christian as a result of this?
Interestingly Stephen Hawking and Jim Bowen died on the same day. For all Stephen’s achievements in science, my cousin and I were more cut up over Jim’s passing. Greatly missed.
"you've won the mass of prizes, £567, and an embarrising viral RUclips video which will be in existance for all of your adult life. It's a considerable gamble to go for whats behind the board". The whole studio audience not wearing safety goggles and armour, was also a considerable gamble that day, Jim.
If you won a fortune on the lottery ; after you've bought your mansion cars and holidays; will there ever be a time where you say' "I must get a speedboat ?" !!
Once saw a professional championship match where all three darts hit the wire round the treble twenty and bounced out. The announcer built up the way he would with a 180 but with ''zeeeeeeeeerRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOO''. It was two minutes before they could continue because even the the players cracked up.
The best ones, in terms of entertainment, are usually the non darts players as they're most likely to somehow end up hitting treble 14s when they are just aiming to get the dart to stick anywhere at all in the board. Great show, RIP to Jim.
Couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo this fella, i suppose we will never know what gem of a prize was in bed 2 that made Ron so determined! He should of just aimed at Tony's head and he would of probably hit Bullys special prize
He's actually an astonishing darts player. Hitting the big red and black bits is childs play, he wanted to show you us how to hit the thin metal frame.
I can never understand how "non dart players" always throw darts in a stupid way! They see how others throw and it works, then they invent their way and fail miserably. It's not rocket science. Arm back, arm forward release. Grinds my gears
I play bowls and often feel the same way. Different body shapes and sizes naturally mean some variation in style, but the basic fundamental of delivering the object seems too obvious to get constantly badly wrong. Yet some people do. However, it is also possible this guy is a touch dyspraxic.
I can never understand why someone who can't play goes on there, you would think they would both be good players to give themselves a chance if they get to the star prize.
@@flyingvman1843 this is the 1980s, not the current day. The guy probably had never thrown a dart in his life. Unlike today when you can just go to the pub and throw, pub dartboards back then were STRICTLY members only. And there was no Sports Direct selling cheap dartboards so you could practice at home - not that it would matter, those were the Thatcher days, working people struggled to afford food so a dartboard would be WELL out of thier reach.
An actual non-dart player for a change. Most of the time both members of the team are decent darts players. As ever, Jim is quick-witted. Yet another example of why comedians make for the best gameshow presenters. RIP Jim Bowen.
But why? After he did well at the world championships he said he was going to quit lorry driving to go pro full time, then within 2 years he'd completely vanished. Could have been another Rob Cross if he'd stuck at it, he was really good and full of confidence.
We're not expected to be world beaters, but if we can get a message back to Ron - even in the 21st century there are things that a man is expected to be able to do.
Not being funny but, I don't care how clever my mate was I would never go on this show unless he could at least hit the board! Quality show, used to watch this as a kid in the 80's on a Sunday.
Not being funny, but his darts are flying like they don't have any flights on. A dart should straighten up due to a little thing called earodynamics but his just turn sideways. Has he put his flights on wrong or something?
Was it explained to him the sharp bit is supposed to stick in the board not slap it? Has he ever thrown a dart in his life? Maybe he was trying to disprove Newton's law of gravity rather than just being pathetic.
On one show, Jim asked a woman from Singapore (and obviously so): ''You're not from round here, are you?'' The PC brigade would have frogmarched him out these days, either for that or for always saying to women quizzers who got the correct answer: ''Good girl''!
There was a deleted comment on here that said
“He would have been better sticking the darts in the wall and throwing the board at it.”
That's mint! 😂
He later appeared on mastermind but was rushed to hospital after he missed the chair 😀
This comment has made my day 😂😂
😂😂
I couldn't stop laughing upon reading this comment 😂
That comment wins the internet for today! ☺
😂😂😂
That was deliberate he saw the shitty prizes
🤣
wrong again, in those days, they're top notch.
Lmfao
Yes true
What about the beauty box, that was class.
2:27 Ron is so bad, he even misses the handshake 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You've won a darts sharpener
Ha Ha! It's a good job he was SHARPER answering the questions.😂😂😂
That's a good point...... Ok, I'll go away now....
😂😂😂
You've landed in green, tony green.
Haha massively underrated comment! 😂
@@Stuck_in_the_70s thanks for the like bud. Appreciate it.
That properly tickled me!!
Super comment. 😅
Thats prob harder to do than actually get 1 in the board!!
we"ve had a great day and i think ive got early onset parkinsons disease
I’m crying with laughter at that, I just lost it when I saw that geeza throwing them darts, now on whenever I’m feeling down I’m gonna watch this clip, the NHS would save millions if they instead provide this clip instead of anti depressants.
Absolutely perfect technique. Twist the dart at a 90 degree angle so it has no chance of going in the board. Genius.
Thats good,when I'm depressed I always watch the will ferrel clip meatloaf
@@CheekClappersPodcast it's easy throwing darts in front of a TV audience! People should think about that when their taking the piss
I know the team has to be a darts player and a non darts player but you'd think if they knew they were going on Bullseye they'd have practised a bit!
The whole board seems like the bullseye to most non darts players that appeared on the show.
nerves was probably a factor
That was after he had practised!

he picked up on them sayings whilst laying in bed with his missus.
@@anthonyphipps5162 hahaha
If he took his time, he'd still be there now. 🤣
Jim was a legend, razor sharp mind and comedy timed perfection.
"Now you see why I answer the questions."
1:05 - That's red, its number sinks
You would have thought he would have practiced a little before he went on the show!
JM666 I think he thought they wouldn't get that far in the show
Nerves probably got to him.
He played well there... in rehearsal he took out 3 members of the audience lol
Jim Bowen, what a legend.
Rip Jim Bowen, loved watching bullseye as a kid in 80s,massive fond memories.
And now Tony Green.....
how does a man get to his age and cant hit a friggin dartboard with 3 darts
To be fair... He did hit the board....... Lol
I think a blind person could have done better.
Looks like a vegan
@@robfellows9833 ha ha 🤣
@@deanmoncaster 🤣
Good grouping atleast

Stevie Wonder vs Ron at darts? My money is on Stevie Wonder. 😁
that actually defies the laws of physics those darts
This show was a British institution. RIP Jim Bowen (and probably every member of that audience).
It's not that long ago
@@paradisebreeze1705💩
He literally threw the darts at the board! 😂
Peter Kay’s bullseye routine is amazingly accurate 😂
Kay’s whole routine is just remembering stuff.
@@DiRtYLaWs2007 like every other comedian……..
Ron had a life time ban from pubs with dartboards after this show ... this has saved many lives .
He also appeared on Strike It Lucky and ended up in a coma after being electrocuted by one of the top row TV screens and then fell down the stairs.
Middle name lucky
If anybody placed their hands on people these days as much as Jim did you'd be stuck with a harassment charge.
He literally never stops touching them whenever he's in range.
Especially if they're a woman
Believe it or not it was friendly and innocent back then unlike now if you just look at a woman for 4 seconds you get a harassment charge
Every Sunday night sat there with my family watching bullseye 🎯 just class tv even now I watch the old episodes lol 😂 Jesus I must get out more
Same here m8. Reminds me of my younger days in the 80s at christmas
"Have we got a joiner in the house ?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao to funny loved jim bowin
‘Put the lights out boys, said Jim. Ron almost put Jim’s lights out with them arra’s
I feel for the guy actually. He knew his friend was good at darts and he was good at the questions (otherwise they wouldn't have got to the prize boards).
Love Jim's common touch, man of the people.
RIP Jim sadly missed
Reminds me of the scene from Pulp Fiction where the guy misses Samuel L Jackson with six shots from point blank range. I wonder if the board became a born again Christian as a result of this?
I loved this show. Absolutely priceless! It was so brilliant / awful. Really miss Jim Bowen. I liked his dry sense of humour. He had a nice voice too.
Jim was really very good with handling people. He was a great host.
I felt really sorry for the guy. It was very embarrassing for him.
I remember this. From when I was about 4 years old. I’m 36 now. That’s how bad he was.
👏
Stephen Hawkins couldn't explain the physics of those darts.
Or Stephen Hawking even
Interestingly Stephen Hawking and Jim Bowen died on the same day. For all Stephen’s achievements in science, my cousin and I were more cut up over Jim’s passing. Greatly missed.
Paul Scholes and Reggie Perrin together, on a game show, wow.
Yes Reggie are rubbish with darts.

"Keep out of the red, and aim for the black,
Or you'll be going home
With a lot of old tat "
*everything you win is a load of old tat
"Now let's see what you could have won"
Why is it always a speedboat
They only ever gave the speed boat when someone lived at least 100 miles from the sea just to fuck with them
If you won a fortune on the lottery ; after you've bought your mansion cars and holidays; will there ever be a time where you say' "I must get a speedboat ?" !!
Great that Gav remembered the beauty box so well
Funny comment. Spot on.
Just imagine if he'd put the darts back in his top pocket and minutes later there's blood stains on his t-shirt
Jim was a lovely bloke miss him
If he was my father I wouldn't be alive today as he'd have never entered my mother in the first place with that aim.
Give the poor chap a speedboat

Now that is an unusual throwing style
He can’t be the worst darts player ever, I’m the holder of that title
Great clip. Love some of the comments below. The darts landed sort of sideways on. Like when you throw one and the flite comes off.
I've seen players with no hands that can't even wank throw darts better than that.
You just have to say they can't wank
"Is there a joiner in the house?!"
I spat out my coffee!
When he tried to use the urinal after the show, he covered the floor. The floor of the broom cupboard.
If I was Tony I’d have stood right in front of the board for safety.
Thanks for the great tv show Bullseye. RIP Jim
He got struck of from his doctors for missing his appointment 😂😂
That garden furniture would not survive Michael Fish's weather forecast.
Was he throwing them backwards?
No
Missing on purpose, just couldn't take any more of bowens gags,just wanted to get off
"Britain you want..."
*thud*
"I'm afraid you've missed Britain and gone into France."
Watched it for years, and only just realised that the black 'no prize' segments are massive compared to the red ones! LOL
Does it matter he missed? Those awful prizes look like unwanted leftovers from a jumble sale.
Never mind his darts - what chest size were his trousers?
can you remember how good cd sounded when they came out
Yes. Yes I do.
A nice whirring sound followed by a satisfying low clunk sound as the cd tray reached its end.
They still do I think. Better than a lot of downloaded.
I play better than him and i'm not even alive!
😂😂😂😂😂
You might as well have skimmed the dartboard across the room and asked him to hit it.
An actual non-dart player for a change. Most of the time both members of the team are decent darts players. As ever, Jim is quick-witted. Yet another example of why comedians make for the best gameshow presenters. RIP Jim Bowen.
The first guy reminds me of Scott Rand.
Piebe Guido Van Den Berg yeah whatever happened to him?
The zombie files shame, was a good player
But why? After he did well at the world championships he said he was going to quit lorry driving to go pro full time, then within 2 years he'd completely vanished. Could have been another Rob Cross if he'd stuck at it, he was really good and full of confidence.
‘ It’s 101 or more with 6 dar……i mean 3 darts !! ‘. 😆😆😆
"It's in the green. The eye of Tony Green."
You'd have thought knowing he was going on Bullseye he would have practised weeks before reducing his jerky throwing technique 😅
Inflation since these times are huge! Pity the winnings on game shows remain around the same, give or take a few hundred.
This makes me crease every time. What a Wally
0:07 "Keep out of the black and in the red, nothing in this game for two in a bed". I remember it well!
We're not expected to be world beaters, but if we can get a message back to Ron - even in the 21st century there are things that a man is expected to be able to do.
Tony Green: Don't rush it.
HE FUCKING SPEEDS UP & THROWS FASTER.
He seems to point the dart at the board but when he actually throws it he seems to turn the dart so it hits the board sideways on!
Finally, a genuine non darts player on bullseye!
The non dart player just couldn't hit the board with his 3 darts 🎯
Are you related to Michael Owen by any chance
How could they all keep a straight face. And Jim after the first dart "Put the lights out"
Just snatched it a little there.
"The beauty box..you remembered that well" 😅😅
There was a woman that was throwing once and jim advised her to throw them on the floor but I cannot find it anymore 😭
Its a wonder he didnt through the last 3 darts at his mate!!!
Not being funny but, I don't care how clever my mate was I would never go on this show unless he could at least hit the board! Quality show, used to watch this as a kid in the 80's on a Sunday.

Tom Bush Earodynamics? lol, Jim would be proud
I'm amazed Tony never had an eye out.
Me n my dad met Gavin on holiday Sunday he was a nice man to talk to n to talk about what happened on this video x
Was it explained to him the sharp bit is supposed to stick in the board not slap it? Has he ever thrown a dart in his life? Maybe he was trying to disprove Newton's law of gravity rather than just being pathetic.
I mean, I'm pretty awful at darts (I probably would have hit black 3 times on the show if I was playing) but at least I'd hit the board......
Listen, we're going on Bullseye in a couple of months. Better get some practice in....no?
This is the funniest thing on youtube. I first thought the video was edited and he only missed once but he really needs to go to specsavers.

Oh well atleast he showed the audience he was a proper non-darter.
