Episode 76: Lights, Camera, Eurovision!

You can’t spell Eurovision OR television without vision, so we’re taking a look at a few instances of Eurovision appearing on popular TV shows, and popular Eurovision artists appearing in TV commercials. Some showcase the contest better than others, but a universal truth is if you want to parody Eurovision, you’ve got to use nonsense. Jeremy hears a Who, Dimitry is a pony no more, and Oscar thinks John & Edward are just being SILLY.

Father Ted is available on Peacock, Tubi & BritBox, Doctor Who is available on BBC iPlayer or Disney+, and Emily in Paris is available on Netflix.

Monty Python’s “World Forum”.

“Pif Paf Pof” from The High Life.

Michalis Rakintzis for Pringles.
Dadi Freyr for Icelandic Provisions.
Spitting Image for Heineken.
Kaarija & Mr. Lordi for DNA.
Jedward for Registered Gas Installers.

Cleo for Media Expert.
