People Who Are Bad at Tic-Tac-Toe World Championships

A sports broadcast parody set at the "People Who Are Terrible at Noughts and Crosses (Tic-Tac-Toe) World Championships." Commentators treat the absurd event with the full pomp and gravitas of a major sporting broadcast as two competitors make bafflingly bad moves in the world's simplest children's game. The sketch highlights the players' utter inability to spot obvious winning moves (particularly "top right"), while the commentary team analyses each terrible decision with complete seriousness. Originally performed live on the Aunty Donna Dead Cat Tour before being adapted for the TV series.

The sketch originated as a live stage piece from the Aunty Donna Dead Cat Tour before being adapted for the TV show. A beloved detail: Broden's tie features X's (crosses), Zach's tie features O's (noughts), and Mark's suit has a grid/board pattern — matching their respective roles. The sketch became a fan favourite in live shows, often generating spontaneous crowd interactions and unique moments at each performance. The video was uploaded to YouTube by the official Aunty Donna channel on April 19, 2023, and has garnered over 1 million views. Aired on ABC TV (Australia) on Wednesday nights at 9pm and available on ABC iview.
