- This is one of my favourite clips from the show, depicting how the Americans will broadcast the world cup when it is in the states.
UPDATE: Further to the argument about Aluminum vs Aluminium in the comments. Here is an interesting article about it: www.worldwidewords.org/article...

Comedy classic. To this day I won't pronounce Uruguay properly. The lad Barry Spinnaker has done well for himself eh?
I remember this sketch vividly.It was really funny then..and it still is.
When this show got it right, it was really good.
I'm Puerto Rican and have lived in England and this is hilarious. Yes, Puerto Rico is a US commonwealth and hence we're automatically US citizens.
haha, been looking for this clip for ages :)
"World Cup So-chair" LOL
Oh, classic and timeless!!
I miiissss the mary whitehouse experience!
Look above, there's a video of it there
this was class!!!
I remember USA 94, that poor bugger who scored an own goal which knocked Columbia out. He certainly didn't do that again in a hurry did he?
He got killed for it
'Come and 'ave a go if ya fink yer 'ard enuff!'
Are you sure this isnt ITV?
1:31 It's the original Lance Stroll moment!
I can't find MWE on DVD or owt. Have you got the one that took the piss out of British Horror movies?
Soccer AM pretty much ripped this off for their "Boston Goals skit.
is that music from HTV's Crimestoppers?
Yup miss it lot!
Quality! :)
cheers for that. found it.
:)
You got that right!
Gary Spinnaker was regular on Mark and Lard.
1:03 SO true!
herb prounounced "erb"
zed (letter z)pronounced "Zee"
Jaguar pronounced "Jag-war"
@NakedAssassin Yes - unfortunately!!
Lighten up people, where's your famous American sense of hoooomor?
there's one called uruguay
lol proved last week when americans reported; USA wins 1:1
The word they pronounced so wrong for so long that they actually changed the spelling. Notice that they haven't changed the spelling of the other "...ium" elements; Americium, for example, hasn't become "Americum"
People here say all of those....so I guess you are half right?
Sotcher! Brilliant! That and Dwight Spiegelhacker!
Hilarious!
@johnykoop I'm American, and I don't know anyone who says those words like that.
That pronounciation thing is absolutely spot on (as well as funny). I was watching Newsnight tonight, and they had some financial experts as guests, talking about the fucked economy, and one of them was American. He pronounced Antigua 'Anti-gwar'. He seemed like a very intelligent and knowledgeable man, but I couldn't concentrate on what he was saying because he kept saying Anti-gwar. Still not as bad as deliberately missing out the second 'i' in aluminium, though.
Erbs
NBC didn't actually broadcast the World Cup in 1994
This must've been made 1992. I don't think it was common knowledge then that Gary Poopaker had sh1t himself on the pitch in Italia 90? :)
go on raretelevision dot com, they've got it.
I live in the USA, and THE worse pronunciation by far is Basil... pronounced Bay-zil! :(
can i get spongo on the internet.
Shows how long this tired old gag has been going on.
Yeah if they were the first to do it, they deserve some credit, but this sketch seems so weak now. Even the mispronunciation of 'soccer' seems misinformed. If there is any word an American would pronounce correctly it's that.

American football = throwy-catchy
Alooominum.
FU its pronounced Aluminium
@johnykoop
Most annoying British habit: complaining about Americans. The way you guys speak sounds strange to us, but we don't make a big deal of it. Nobody's forcing you to pronounce anything differently. Live and let live.
No, you just don't notice when you do it to us: ruclips.net/video/PrpUSKE9p_M/видео.html - And what about Daphne on Fraser? So many silly things she was supposed to do (including changing her accent to a weird fake one for US audiences).
Yup miss it lot!
