As soon as you mention you’ve been touring on motorbike the conversation immediately turns to talk about the series “The Long way round“. This is both flattering and insulting to motorcyclists, so a parody was bound to happen.
I’m clear to point out several things (to be fair):
- they’ve gone into some much MUCH crazier terrain and parts of the world (e.g. mongolia, russia etc)
- but they have backup 4WDs, celebrity status and the resources of the BBC to get them through whatever happens
- but I pay for all my shit out of my own pocket
The real long way round
I think they had a great trip and I think the cringe motorcyclists have with a series like the long way round is that they’re firstly a bit jealous that Ewan and Charley got paid to do the trip, got free gear, bikes etc and have backup/organising team. The series shows the complaining/troubles they have along the way, which to people who have done some big trips on motorcycle: those bits are the memorable ones. I might have to hold this off to another time to rant about arm chair motorcyclists, so I’ll get back to the videos I want to show you.
Anyhow, this series called “Ewan and Thingy – the wrong way round” might get a chuckle out of anyone who knows about “The long way round”.

This show is genius, I particularly love the indigenous people of the midlands.
i would just like to say i think these short video’s are absolutly fucking shit and every time it comes on my tv i have to change the channel because putting it on mute isnt good enough. i think it is stupid and fucking rediculouse and it is not funny at all. i would rather have my fingers an toes boiled and fed to me whilst still attached to me because to see those two shitheads on my tv makes me sick. im not being ude but….. STAY THE FUCK OFF MY TV YOU PAIR OF NON FUNNY CUNTY SHIT HEADED WANKERS!!! because you really do make my head hurt.
Hmmm bit harsh. You can always change the channel if you don’t want to watch them.
These sketchs encapsulate my view of the whole Ewan and John Boorman’s son junk which I choose not to watch….
Ross Young? How stade! Rouse Yerng , (just tryna makeya sound classy like lleywellen Bowen and his love for biscuite – that’s brown to you). Class TV. Go find sommet funny as this! No denial. Don’t hold back…….
And Rouse Yerng, you watched it! HA. Bet you have since too. Nah!
