#tbt – Random Dispatch from Eurobike 2010

We produced some of our all-time best content at Eurobike 2010. DerailedUK, two stand-up comedians with their own Channel 4 sitcom, two cameramen, all taking a week at the zeppelin factory in Friedrichshafen to look at bikes.

But somehow, all that content is lost. We found a notebook with a rough outline of the jokes we told in one of the accompanying articles, but that’s it. No footage of us tricking a saddle manufacturer into telling us their product “fits like a bum glove.” No footage of a robot telling us that he’s a child when we insinuated he had a large penis. All lost like tears in the rain.

But then someone sent us this, and it’s a bit of a mystery. There’s no clue to where it was published, but it wasn’t CTV or DUK. Just a quick, random dispatch for an unknown publication (presumably some rando blog, given the quality of the content). One day we’ll find the true footage and articles, but for now, here’s a look at whatever this is. Hey, the robot is in this at the end!

From the Advanced FAG to the X-pedo.

Why does this need to happen?
Someone buried a dog head first in the ground! Only kidding, that would be cruel. They actually just chopped it in half.
Not creepy at all. Neither was their owner, who demanded money for the photograph and pressed two helmets against his chest like a bra.
The ever cheerful Ivan Basso.
We saw boobs.
Better than boobs: Zeppelins. Which come from EXACTLY WHERE WE WERE OMFG. Zeppelins are cool.
Interviewing a robot. He had considerably more personality than Ivan Basso (and his Tweets are probably more legible).
