What indeed. We're not acquainted with many of the actors starring in Balls of Fury but we're pretty sure it wasn't cast from the Troll Actors Guild. Look at their digitized avatars, however, and the absence of necks and the faces sinking into their heads can only suggest such a deal went down.

If there's anything more irritating than this humourless noise we'd like to see it. Wait! We have a winner. The ping-pong itself, that's more irritating. You don't move; you just swing at the right moment. And that's it.
