Quotes

Commentator: Ladies an gentlemen, we are in for an incredible finish! They are absolutely neck and neck right now! Getting closer. Getting closer! This is one for the record books! And the winner is - Slim Robinson by a long shot. It looked really close from the other angle, but, no, it was not close at all. Those de-focus lens can be really deceiving.

User Reviews

Utterly hilarious!

Well, these kinds of mockumentaries can be a bit hit and miss. Suffice it to say that this one is simply brilliant. I was laughing out loud the whole way through.

The cast is stellar and they have a riot. Who knew Cena could do comedy so well? Orlando Bloom was hilarious and I didn't recognise him at first! Tyson really have poke fun at himself, too.

The running gag, involving a certain well-known cyclist is really well done, too.

I think HBO may have struck a rich seam here. There are all kinds of sports stories that could be hilarious mockumentaries if they let Andy Sambergh loose on them.

Really, watch this!
