[Alla]

Verka looks like my Uncle John.

From Jamaica?

 

[Dark Carnival]

LOVE!!!

 

[Beverley]

The guy who is Verka is apparently a bit of a HOMOPHOBE

DONT DO THIS

 

[Kala]

Unpopular opinion: Verka is fun ONCE, but it gets tiresome. Very overrated. I said it.

I like it when I am TEN SHEETS to the WIND. Which is every night during Eurovision fortnight, I'll admit...

VoR FUN FACT: This reached #28 in the UK charts.

Yeah but in 2007, that needed about 16 sales.

 

[Zu]

Anyone who doesn’t like this is A LITTLE BIT STUPID

Second greatest ESC ENTRY EVER!

 

[VoR]

Get ready for the comedown to end all comedowns...

 

[win_the_game]

Innit, it's like watching an anal prolapse wrapped in tinfoil.

You should see my OnlyFans

 

[Beverley]

I need Verka to slap me on the arse

 

[ButterTart]

I've never liked Verka. Shouting whilst wrapped in bacofoil is not a good thing.

He wasn't supposed to be wearing that, he finished a marathon minutes before going onstage.

 

[D5K]

Why is Bill Oddie in a lighthouse?

Innit, it's like watching an anal prolapse wrapped in tinfoil.

A fisting accident set to schlager.

 

[Tisch]

JOYLESS HETERO

 

[Alla]

Every artist that refuses to sign copies of their HOT PROMO CDS during Eurovision is an homophobe.

 

[Kala]

VoR Fun Fact: The Eurovision Song Contest began in 1956. The first winner was Switzerland, sung by Lys Assia with the song 'Refrain'

 

[dmlaw]

Ooh, I can skip forwards and catch up. Scooch are good for something.

 

[octophone]

Why is Bill Oddie in a lighthouse?

Birdwatching, I;d imagine.

 

[Alla]

Oh Scooch

 

[Beverley]

One for the hardcore patriots amongst us

 

[Dark Carnival]

SCOOCH TIME!!

 

[ButterTart]

A fisting accident set to schlager.

I mean, if ever there was a tagline for Moopy...

 

[Penelope]

OMG GAY COMA ALERT

 

[Kala]

I have got PISSED AS FUCK with Scooch. The blonde girl Caroline is a HOOT.

 

[Penelope]

It's JUST LIKE THE BIT BEFORE 9/11 BUT BETTER

 

[Beverley]

Imagine having to explain this to your lovely new European friends

Even my balls cringed

 

[ButterTart]

What I love about this is how restrained and classy it all is. Very much like a French entry from the early 00s.

 

[Alla]

I love this TRASH when they don't represent my country

 

[dmlaw]

He wasn't supposed to be wearing that, he finished a marathon minutes before going onstage.

He should have modelled himself on the original marathon runner.

 

[COB]

Always preferred the Blue Peter PERF

Would you like a sweet?

 

[VoR]

This coming straight after Verka really demonstrates the difference between genuine batshit Euro gold and joyless, condescending forced 'fun'.

I have no doubt whatsoever that at least half of Scooch voted for Brexit.

 

[Penelope]

COME ON GIRLS - YOU KNOW THE WORDS!

 

[octophone]

Even my balls cringed

!

 

[Iguana]

Worse than I remember

 

[Beverley]

The orange one is fucking HIDEOUS

 

[ZenGiraffe]

This is the best UK entry this side of the millennium and I'm not apologising for saying it.

 

[win_the_game]

COME ON GIRLS - YOU KNOW THE WORDS!

I'll keep hold of my last shread of dignity thanks.

 

[Tisch]

TISCH FUN FACT: I think More Than I Needed to Know is one of the most underrated pop songs from that era and play it occasionally.

I feel like @Kalabaliken has a fun story about the brown haired one no?
