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.
It’s always Christopher Burr, goddamn that Christopher Burr.
I love Mary Carillo. Quality improv here.
honestly this is where I lost it.
The baby duck rescue of 1997
never forget
Oh how i wish that YouTube existed in 2004.
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!
I, I don’t remember.
Well that escalated relatively quickly.
haha apparently we watch the same videos.
She has incredible comedic talent. Most comedians wouldn’t be able to write like this and she improvised it.
I lost it at “tree seeking device”. Thanks Mary!
Do you guys not have a sense of humor? This is hilarious.
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.
producer: mary, we have a couple of minutes to fill before the badminton starts…
Mary: i got this
I may be drunk but this is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever encountered in my life
Single greatest piece of olympic reporting ever. She’s hilarious.
Perfect explanation of chaos theory
“See, here I’m now sitting by myself, uh, er, talking to myself. That’s, that’s chaos theory”
This was aired in 2004? Looks more like 1994.
This isn’t a rant, it’s a joke and it’s really funny, actually. She’s just doing it straight-faced.
this is great. give this lady her own show.
Damn people are mean. So what if she has a lower voice. I think she’s great and hilarious.
Bad boys of badminton 😂 😂 😂 😂 All from the left hand side of the goose 😂 😂 😂 OMG
Yeh, I mean, girls are really just girly guys and guys are just manly girls if you think about it.
There’s a man named Caitlyn. Looks like their adams apple are about the same.
The amount of times I could have been found to be saying that to myself, in that cadence, is unhealthy.
@WesOfX But it was never funny.
Surely you can’t be telling me kids were always this stupid?
Like when your mum bangs me, hang on…
I was just typing this comment .. then I decided to scroll down
Oh boy transphobia.
“We need to stall for 3 minutes!”
-“what do i say??”
“IDK just start talking
This is amazing. I love her deadpan delivery.
crazy how she mentions 1997 at 3:23.. she must be a time traveller
Early 2000s footage was still catching up. Took a while for everyone to go HD.
Jokes and rants aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s both.
It’s not too late. It’s never to late.
@sleepzzz29. I agree. I like her a lot. She’s pretty damn funny.
@Laughing Achilles she is a former tennis pro who went to the same Tennis Academy as John McEnroe. She is wonderful.
@Go Irish
