Boring SONY Handycam Challenge
Last night I accidentally watched the SONY Handycam Challenge 2 because we were trying to avoid the spooky shows on the other channel. My expectations were high on this program because they are already on Season 2 and I missed every single show last year.
Boy was I dissappointed - BIG TIME! Leave it to Malaysians to spoil a good idea for a show.
Okay so the 2 hosts were trying to be funny - dressing oddly and speaking in Msian english, sometimes Malay mixed in. That’s the normal standard in the local entertainment here and I got used to it that I didn’t change the channel.
So the intro part came and then the LONG advertisement, and I still didn’t get to see even one video clip in the contest yet. Nevermind, I stayed on that channel.
When the program came back, they started showing the video clips. I can remember the first one, a small kid trying to coax a goat by pulling the rope that was attached to its neck. The kid ended up being thrown to the floor. Poor kid.
Then i realise something. I can hear people laughing in the background but *you know* they weren’t laughing at the clip. Why oh why do they have to put in the FAKE LAUGH in there? It makes me embarassed to laugh with those pre-recorded laughs, which was probably recorded when the crowd was watching Friends. Sometimes there’s nothing funny and suddenly they laughed.
Ok all through out the program I was served with mostly low-standard videos, not-funny, not-amazing and nothing to shout about. Man - SONY must be really desperate that they showed those videos.
Among the videos shown were a cat licking its paws and the video title is “finger lickin good”. Cats do that everytime! I didn’t know it was eligible to be included in the contest.
Another one, a group of cats running on the rooftoops. Sorry can’t find the funny stuff in there either.
Still another video shows a panda sleeping on a tree while another one eating the bamboo underneath. Still I can’t see the humour. The host put in the adlib and says like “aiyaaa why are you lazy, look at me eating”. Too bad it’s still isn’t funny.
One more video a monkey looking at itself on a mirror… ??!! Then another monkey trying to find food from a guy’s pocket… nothing happens. The monkey didn’t find anything. I didn’t find anything to even smile too.
Anyway, my point is? The standard of the videos sent in are so lowww I think ANYONE can have a chance of winning some SONY goodies. So I’ll be sending in one or more clips hehehe.
If I do, then I will ask you to vote for me okeh? Will keep you all updated hehe.

was at city square JB last week and they were like doing some promotion for this i think, so it’s really a show huh? hosts dressing oddly? dressing oddly seems to be the culture here in JB, though i’m malaysian, i still cant get used to it. was also at holiday plaza with a fren and the way some of them wore…..man, it was painful to watch. i mean if they dressed casually would be alright, but they were like trying too hard to make a fashion statement which was more like a disaster. sometimes i wish i were in KL, but then again. not sure how they dress these days, but i would def expect it to be better.
