View Full Version : Marc Ellis
His new show 'How the other half Live' I find is a pleasure to watch.
Dropping that wanker Ridge has done him the world of good and credit to him on his lastest TV Show.
His other efforts 'Sports Cafe' and Game of two halves' are a waste of time, they were good to start with but the show grew old very fast.
He was humbled last night, pig hunting out the back of Ruatoria, when they finally got the pig and had to stick it, he turned away, it was bit much for him, but he knows how to gel with any culture on thier terms, it a great watch, highly recommended.

Those are almost exactly the words that my wife and I exchanged last night after watching the programme. Couldn't stand him with that muppet Ridge but he treated everyone with dignity and was really interesting to watch.

The only thing I did get a laugh out of when Marc was with Ridgy is when they did a road trip to Dunedin a few years back. He was standing outside a house with a hedge in the front garden and he said, "When I was a student here, we used to piss in that garden when we'd had a skinful at Gardies and were staggering back to our flat. Our eldest son was watching it with us and burst out, "That's where I used to piss too - no wonder not much grows there!". I cracked up but his mother was not amused:nono:
I only started watching this latest series from the Hare Krishnas. Pity I missed the earlier ones.

Yep I have to say having run into Mark Ellis at the Grey Lynn RSA he was out on a stag night with his mates, he is quite a charismatic sort of guy, I give him a bit of a ribbing over the highlanders, they were on the big screen and I had a laugh at them getting beat by the Blues but he was very humble, he went out of his way to talk to Jessie a 30 year old guy with downs syndrome he even gave him a hug. Top all around bloke who cheerfully chatted to anyone that said anything to him.

Yes, I too enjoy Marcs new show....and to add to the "Kiwi-comedy" flavour, the very next program after him [Diplomatic Immunity] is an absolute corker....finally TVNZ has some decent viewing.

Hell he is human eh?One day people say he is a twat,next he is a great guy,personally I respect those who try to create humour on tv,his comes accross as brilliant.
Sportscafe was a little overdone about the middle series,came good at the end in my opinion.
Be bloody good if he hooked up with Howie Morrieson jnr on his hunting aotearoa,the out take would be hilarious.

Got to totally agree, hes a funny guy and hes also an achiever.

Got to give credit to the guy. The name Mark Ellis is associated with many endeavors these days, he hasn't been one to rest on his "I was an All Black" laurels and expect success to come his way - he goes out there and works hard for it.
Haven't caught his new show as yet, will lock it in for a look next week.

Agreed - hated Matthew Ridge but liked Marc's humour. He can be an idiot at times but in a good-natured way, and this latest series is a great watch.
He took the mickey out of the hippies at that alternative lifestyle place in one of the first programmes, but in a gentle way, and the Hare Krishna one was great. The pig hunting one wasn't easy to watch but at least they didn't show the gore, and we were quite surprised to see how much of a softie he was!
I'm finding it a really interesting insight into - quite literally - how the other half lives. I also enjoyed the series on immigrants that unfortunately didn't rate well and is now on DVD. There were some really great stories told in that series and I wish they'd show the full series, even in the early hours, so I could tape it.

The thing is, Marc Ellis is clever and quick-witted. Matthew Ridge is not.

so it wasn't when you took the bike in for a valet and he told you to fuck off then?
and you have told him he's a cock to his face, i'm presuming?
