Mary Carillo's Badminton Rant - Athens 2004
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2024
- This was taken off the air from a badminton broadcast in the middle of the night, US time. What starts as a normal description about the equipment turns into a full-on rant about how backyard badminton is really played.
Update: Deadspin found and interviewed Mary Carillo about this around the time of the '14 Sochi Olympics. deadspin.com/le...
Single greatest piece of olympic reporting ever. She's hilarious.
I don't know who she is but I hope she has done some standup comedy, she's brilliant.
she had to try making it interesting somehow.
Think its a man dude, but oh well.
+Kevin Moreal, I think you're an ass.
Oh boy transphobia.
producer: mary, we have a couple of minutes to fill before the badminton starts...
Mary: i got this
It was her destiny
Top-notch vamping
"We have four minutes of dead air to fill. Go."
This woman is a professional.
The ultimate sports filabuster..😂
The baby duck rescue of 1997
never forget
I, I don't remember.
Lmao ikr, so specific Btw wow 7 years ago huh. wow
We will rebuild.
😂😂😂
My wife and I saw this on TV 10 years ago. We TiVo'ed the wrong thing and caught this the next morning from a 3 AM broadcast. It was live in the middle of the night and she knew no one was watching so she vamped. It is a classic. We have been looking for this for years. Thanks for sharing!
Damn this comment is from 10 years ago, commenting how he saw that 10 years ago ... time flies
She has incredible comedic talent. Most comedians wouldn't be able to write like this and she improvised it.
maybe 3/4 of it is true
@@alainbellemare2168 that's because it's clearly exaggerated for comedic effect
Improvised? That's insanely impressive.
She was awesome, masterful in fact
I lost it at "tree seeking device". Thanks Mary!
God damnit i read this 2 seconds before she said it. This made me laugh my ass off.
I died at "you realize suddenly, you own 18 basketballs"
Being reminded that "It's always Christopher Burr" is what brought me down.
@@stevengandt1507I wonder if he’s any relation to the angry bald ginger, Bill Burr?
😂
I met Mary many years ago - sometime in 2009. I was walking in Ansonia, Connecticut. A car pulled over, and Mary's friendly smile greeted me. She and a friend had driven from New York to get some good barbecue nearby, and needed directions. I happily obliged, ending with "if you hit the badminton place, you've gone too far." Her friend roared, and she gave a coy smile. Good sense of humor.
Oh how i wish that RUclips existed in 2004.
Yes.
Disturbing.
You know you want to songify it. Just do it. Do it for the love of your craft. That is, if you can isolate that background noise. O_o
Love your videos! and you really need to do this one!
haha apparently we watch the same videos.
This is amazing. I love her deadpan delivery.
Damn people are mean. So what if she has a lower voice. I think she's great and hilarious.
Yeh, I mean, girls are really just girly guys and guys are just manly girls if you think about it.
@sleepzzz29. I agree. I like her a lot. She's pretty damn funny.
Part of the deepness of her voice is this bad recording. I just watched a much better video on The Athletic web site and she sounds much less like Johnny Cash.
He has an Adam's apple and manjaw. They are all trannies, look at the Trump boys (dad included), their hips and boobs. Look at the jaw of the Trump gurl. They're all at it.
Every couple years I remember this exists and it never fails to put me into tears with laughter
the baby duck rescue of 1997. really brought us all together
It does, until you ponder the causes of the baby-duck tragedy of 2005
This isn't a rant, it's a joke and it's really funny, actually. She's just doing it straight-faced.
Like when your mum bangs me, hang on...
Jokes and rants aren't mutually exclusive. It's both.
She lived it.
It's no joke! She's sworn "Hand-to-God" at Paris in 2024!

I love Mary Carillo. Quality improv here.
Mary Carillo is all kinds of awesome. It's so unimaginative to just make a flippant cruel joke like "Oh what gender is it?" and not appreciate the sheer utter brilliance on display before you.
I may be drunk but this is the most hilarious thing I've ever encountered in my life
this is great. give this lady her own show.
I still remembered this from when those Olympics were actually on TV. Pity about the sound quality, but thanks for saving this hilarious rant. I remember watching in disbelief the first time as a straightforward talk on Olympic badminton turned into this brilliant routine.
Perfect explanation of chaos theory
"See, here I'm now sitting by myself, uh, er, talking to myself. That's, that's chaos theory"
The amount of times I could have been found to be saying that to myself, in that cadence, is unhealthy.
Now this is how you anchor a segment when the director tells you to fill in 4 minutes. Legendary.
It's always Christopher Burr, goddamn that Christopher Burr.
honestly this is where I lost it.
😂😂
This would make a superb monologue for an acting audition.
Bad boys of badminton 😂 😂 😂 😂 All from the left hand side of the goose 😂 😂 😂 OMG
Do you guys not have a sense of humor? This is hilarious.
It's Olympics time again. Time for some badminton.
This never gets old.
Carillo has to have an advanced sense of humor. There is no way she's serious here. I mean, if so, then she's certifiable.
This is from 2004? it looks about 15-20 years older lol
Because it was likely recorded on a VCR, since DVR wasn't as widespread in '04. Do the children on here not know what a VCR is?
VCRs look better than this ;)
+mechtecify Not really.
cuz...it's over a decade old. when we still used VCRs.
15 years ago was 2001. 2001 and 2004 were pretty similar in video equipment.
Oooh cant wait to scroll through the comments section and see the same jokes about her voice about 400 times.
*his
@@Bighomer5
Nope
@@grim_56 I think that's the yoke
the best part is how she keeps a straight face the whole time
That was awesome, spot-on and hilarious.
She makes me laugh. "The tree is now groaning with children . . . and equipment." ". . . for the first time in seven years, you can actually pull your car into the garage 'cause there's no sporting equipment in there."
Producer: So Mary, Michael Phelps just cancelled his interview and we've got nothing for the next 3:45. Can you fill that time?
Mary Carillo: I've been waiting for this moment my whole life..
Well that escalated relatively quickly.
The originality in these comments is astounding.
That aside. This is some cricket level live-to-air stretching. Mad props, Carillo. That was entertaining as fuck.
This makes me smile every time I see it. Go, Mary!
"they're leaving skidmarks!" so funny. Hilarious!
well that went from general reporting to "really really really specific"
That day of badminton gave her PTSD.
I have never seen this. Mary Carillilo has comedic skills, impeccable timing and she’s hilarious. “Then you see, Christopher Burr, and it’s always Christopher Burr…” 😂😂😂
This is my new favorite video. I've watched it now 5 times.
This was aired in 2004? Looks more like 1994.
Why cause the VHS? VHS was still used in 2004 on occasion.
Well seeing as the equipment in 2004 and 1994 aren't that different, then I don't see why you would think this. Do you remember 2004? This is a VHS recording, and this is what VHS recordings looked like...
Let me guess - you were younger than 5 in 2004?
Harry Flashman
Actually, gramps, I wasn't even born yet ;)
1Nostrand1 So why would you even make this comment? How would you even know what it looks like?
And then +22?
It seems there's a lot of kids on the internet who talk about the 90s as if it's something they remember when they don't even remember 2004.
What's that all about? How weird is it to be called "gramps" when you're 22? Should you even be on the internet? What are you, like 12?

Grandpa gets cranky without his nap time :D
Most skillfull narration ever given by a sports anchor by lightyears.... that was awesome.....
I'm genuinely interested in why she went off about this and what point was she trying to make? Her passion was awesome and I'd love to know exactly what she is trying to teach here.
Probably trying to explain how bad of a sport is BADminton
Comedy. Not sure how you didn't catch it. Certainly not the delivery of a veteran comedian but I figured it was pretty obvious.
"Can't believe that thing's still around. I was hosting a morning show in Athens that covered a lot of badminton-some table tennis too, but badminton, I'd been assured, was going to be "the curling of the Summer Games." (!) There was no script for that rant-just a little dead time-but it got some chuckles and a head shake from my producer. It was a pretty loose show-I'd already explained a team handball's size by comparing it against various members of the melon family, and when I found out that equestrian horses were listed as "equipment" I did a rant on the fact that horses needed passports to get into the country and dramatically produced one, so surely they needed an identity upgrade..
That sort of nonsense got me a hosting gig on Torino's Olympic Ice show, which is still one of my all-time favorite scams. Don't know if it's still kicking around, but maybe my salute to Guido The Zamboni Guy is still out there from that wackadoodle show..
Don't know how I stay employed,
carillo"

I'm sure some producer was like "shit! We've got 3 and half minutes to fill and we've got NOTHING! Anybody got anything? Can anyone get out there in front of the camera and fill 4 minutes???"
my god her way of speaking is brilliant
"You know what really grinds my gears?"
Oh my god.... this was a piece of art.
"We need to stall for 3 minutes!"
-"what do i say??"
"IDK just start talking
Baby Duck Rescue of 1997. NEVER FORGET.
Is this an art piece? I love this woman.
She's a former tennis player and I think mainly covers tennis? But steps in during the summer Olympics. IIRC there was a delay in the start of a match and she suddenly had to fill the time! Amazing.
this as the best thign ive ever seen
I wish I had a manly voice like him.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed this. Took me a moment to realize it was a woman.
-I assumed that it was voice alteration to avoid the copyright gestapo.-
I found some other videos of her and damn, that's her voice. I stand corrected. More power to her, and let the gender police get their pantywaists in knots.
wait, that's a guy?
It's a woman. Her name is Mary Carillo. She even heterosexual. She have husband and children... So
Are you here from reddit too?
If this is from 2004 why does it look like it was recorded in 1978?
Because it was recorded on a VCR, which was a technology from the 70s.
+VideoAmericanStyle pretty sure VCR came around in the 80s. betamax was the 70s I think
You are thinking of VHS. VCR just means "Video Cassette Recorder." VHS and Betamax were two different formats used in VCRs.
Andrew Conrad VCR (video cassette recording) technology has been around in consumer-ready devices since the 70s. VHS was introduced in the US in the late 70s.
Time to rewatch my favorite Olympic report of all time
I fucking love this so much, she had me laughing so hard when she started name dropping
Somethings just gotta be said.
Favorite rant for life...
😆 This is awesome! I don't remember hearing about this, but glad to watch now. Came here from Mary's interview on The Fckery with Leslie Jones and Lenny Marcus. Really great interview!
Ahhhh the baby duck rescue of '97 who could forget.
All these years later, and it's still funny! :D
Perhaps the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Wow. Guess they had some time to fill and just let her ramble on.
Brilliant!!! I watch this all the time, especially after a bad day at work, and it never ceases to make me laugh. I wish I could be this funny off the cuff.
This went from 0-100 real quick
Up until 1:20, she just seems to be uptight about the quality of Olympic equipment. Then the tree seeking device is mentioned, and the rocket takes off briskly.
It's taken me in the UK 20 yrs to come across perhaps the single greatest sports build up of all time, I'm so glad i have!!
She is stunning and brave
Absolutely fantastic. I love Mary's sports journalism.
I want to hear about the Baby Duck Rescue of 1997 Mary! Something tells me that story is as epic as this one lmao
People need to stop complaining about her voice. Everyone says they feel sorry for people who get bullied, but in life you guys are the bully's. I know if I was her and read these comments I'd be heartbroken. I'm just glad Mary doesn't let it get to her and continues to be a great commentator
Well, I thought it was great. Enough with the haters and the small man parts that are mad about still living in mom's basement.
And mom's about to evict him.
Amazing. So glad to have seen this
Oh my god, the escalation with the 18 basketballs. Glorious.
Edit: Spongebob is now involved. This is glorious.
I've no idea how I just found this, but this woman is hilarious, she deserved her own show!
Check the bird on birdie action at 1:01. Real subtle.🐦
Absolutely hilarious. Can't understand why people aren't getting it.
This dude is great
I'm pretty sure that's a woman
IIIIII.... don't think so.
I think it's Dunkey.
I see what you did there.
im not sure but would fuck
I watch this every few years for a good laugh.
2004? or 94?? This looks way, WAY old
Wow this gave me a whole new appreciation for Mary Carillo.
LOL! That was great.
This is like a great stand-up comedy routine. She's a champ.
she was just killing time, just off the cuff stuff, killing me over here :)
This is friggin amazing.
we don't have that footage ready yet Mary , tell that dynamite badminton story again
Watching this was totally my zen moment of the day.
What a fantastic rant
Mary, you're brilliant! I love you!
Brilliant, toungue-in-cheek work. She takes a totally boring subject and turns it into a comedy skit. Great!
Damn!! Funny!! EXACTLY how badminton was played when I was a kid. There was always that birdie-eating tree.
This is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen.
LE REDDIT ARMY HAS ARRIVED
u are the lowest of reddit kid
YOLO
This woman was born to be a blogger. I've never seen a digression this good.
It's always fucking Christopher
This is like a Jerry Seinfeld routine except it's actually funny.
Wow you think a popular comic is unfunny😻🤯 that's so crazy
she reminds me of asmongold
Shit, u rite
(Also, wtf you doing here in the comments of a badminton video xD)
True. Neither of them has a penis.
LMFAO
This has me in stitches and the longer it goes the better it gets
Video says 2004, quality says 1984.
i watched this twice while eating twice i chocked, twice because of " Badminton is a watersport!"
Um no Mary Carillo you racist, not all of us have had the opportunity to play badminton. I grew up being oppressed by the white society, my adoptive parents who are white descendants of slave masters forced me to live in a small three bedroom apartment on the lower west side of Manhattan. We did not have things you took for granted like a backyard because they spent all their money sending me to special private schools to brain wash me from respecting my culture. They even tried to teach me French, SMH looking back on how society tries to hold my peoples culture down. My dream is to move to Ferguson, Mo and work with real black men like Al Sharpton.
