Any publicity, is good publicity

Posted on by

It’s always cool to see people we have featured here before get some positive publicity in “normal” media outlets. I don’t know if the show America’s Got Talent counts as “normal” media or not, but hell, at least it’s on primetime network television! Our friends from the SwingShift SideShow managed to make it past a bit of Sharon Osbourne’s bitchiness and onto the second round!

Hey guys, I don’t really follow this show much, but I tell you what I’ll vote for you, but if you win you must demand they bring back the delightful drunk David Hasselhoff, who is leaps and bounds more interesting that that germaphobe, Howie Mandell.

  7. The septum drill made me flinch so bad, haha.
    I could get it in, but I don’t think I’d have the balls to drill it back out that fast.

  21. the cheek skewering always makes me flinch… ah well. i’m glad for them. 🙂

    also i agree with scott. (though nick cannon’s reaction is probably at least half of what the people in the crowd were thinking.)

  27. Ohmygod that was frakking AWESOME.
    Septum drill made me cringe a bit, and I can’t help but think “Hey, Nick Cannon, expand your artistic horizons a bit!” (he’s so squeamish lol)

    I’m pretty impressed by the reception they got from the audience, as well as Mandel/Osborne/Hoff, though. I mean, what a shock it must have been, right?

    But still, SO COOL.

  43. If you ask Iron Maiden, Twisted Sister and other Metalband, who played on Ozfest or with Ozzy would say : “Shannon Osbourne is everything but not cool…”

    lol

  53. I agree with Linda, that although the performance was cool, it was a bit rushed because of the obvious time limit.

  67. Yes! I saw their sideshow act in Vegas during APP and they were super inspiring. The tango that Andrew S did with his lady was so ridiculously cute, it made me “aww” out loud.

    Good luck to you!

  71. I actually think “you all make me sick, and you’re all through to the next round” describes what they do pretty well. Isn’t that sort of supposed to be the reaction? I don’t think that’s very disrespectful…

  79. #32 – I seem to remember someone telling me the Psycho Cyborgs were on Britain’s Got Talent last year.
    Not sure if it made it onto the televised show though.

  81. Err.. am I the only one how notices that the note she staples to her forehead at the beginning of the show actually falls right off? Seems like she’s not using staples at all. oO

  105. Oh man, I felt so lucky to be watching TV that day.
    This is totally awesome and I hope they make it. It’s about time freak shows are getting more notice. Someone said this earlier and I agree…. I love how they freaked everyone out so much that in the end they all cheered for them.

  107. Oh my god, you Americans are stuck with Piers Morgan too? I’d apologize but I’m not responsible for the stuck up bastard.

  109. Couple of honest opinions, as a sideshow performer:

    1) They took twenty minutes of tricks, and did them all in a few minutes. No set-up, no banter, no crowd-warming. Shock value is nice, but when the crowd WANTS to see it, its better.

    2) Three people all at once, no act balance in between them, overly distracting costumes and the personality of dried toast? No thanks

    3) They wouldn’t be starving artists if they had an act worth putting in a variety show.

    Also, Nick Cannon is a douchetard.

  111. i think the idea was to show a little diversity of what they do. they only had 90 seconds to perform. how much set up are they suppose to have? would waste time for something like this. i dont think you could judge their act from a 90 second montage of tricks. you should see their full show before making a harsh judgement like that….
