Matty Johns Show’s TV gag needs no explanation

Footy larrikin’s Brian Fletcher and Nathan Hindmarsh have come up with gold, once again.

The pair of NRL greats have become cult heroes with a new generation of rugby league fans through their wild antics on Fox League’s The Matty Johns Show.

Even for them, Thursday night’s sketch went low-ball.

In a hilarious clip Fletcher claims to be chasing revenge on Hindmarsh for injuries sustained during an episode last month that included the Roosters great being peppered with cricket balls.

To extract his revenge, Fletcher organised for Hindmarsh to step into an MMA gym with Aussie world champion Alexander Volkanovski — with brutal consequences.

However, it’s a crude gag before Hindmarsh’s beating that has caught the attention of fans.

The gag, which showed Fletcher using a sex toy as a prop, needs no explanation.

You can watch the whole clip in the video player above.

It starts with Fletcher calling for a chance to get back at Hindmarsh after Aussie cricket great and Fox League commentator Mark Waugh colluded with the Eels great to batter Fletcher with a series of 160km/h short balls, bowled from a bowling machine during a net session.

Despite wearing all the possible padding and protective gear, Fletcher walked out with bruises.

While pretending to have post-traumatic stress flashbacks, Fletcher went for the cheap laugh sin Thursday night’s episode.

“I love the cricket,” Fletcher said while resting on the couch watching a clip from Australia’s summer test series against India before Waugh appears on the TV inside the Fox League commentary box.

“Where’s the remote? Turn it off,” he said.

When Waugh’s brother Steve appears on the screen, Fletch pretends to calm down.

“Oh Steve, I love it. Thank god for Steve.”

While flopping about on the couch pretending to look for the remote to change the channel, Fletch pulled out the sex object from behind the pillows, as his partner pretends to ask if he is OK.

“Yeah, darl. Everything’s good. Mark Waugh came on,” he said before placing the item on the couch next to him.

“Oh, BTW, I found the back scratcher.”

The colourful clip was followed by Hindmarsh getting the living daylights beaten out of him by the featherweight world champion inside his Wollongong gym.

Despite Volkanovski taking it easy during a sparring session, Hindmarsh walked away saying he could taste blood in his mouth.

It may have evened the scores from their recent rivalry, but Fletcher still owes Hindmarsh an ambush or two following the moment Fletcher was famously left with broken ribs during a similar sketch in 2016.

Fletcher was rushed to hospital during the stunt after breaking three ribs while he and Hindmarsh were filmed taking a 20m jump alongside Nitro Circus stars.

Having landed awkwardly as he and Hindmarsh landed on a giant inflated mattress below them, it was eventually revealed Fletcher suffered a punctured lung and was treated with morphine for the pain.
