Australian comedy

May 10, 2007

It’s about fucking time.

The U.K. has had its Sacha Baron Cohen’s and its Monty Python’s, the U.S. has had its Conan O’Brien’s and Upright Citizens Brigade’s, Canada has had it’s Norm Macdonald’s and its Kids In The Hall — but what have the Aussies had? (Alright — they had Chopper. But what else?)

Right mate, that’s it — they’ve had the funniest show I’ve seen in years: THE CHASERS WAR ON EVERYTHING.

Yep. I am reluctant to say that the one show that offers the best Fox News parody I’ve seen in my lifetime originates from the opposite side o’ the world. What the fuck, America? It may be hard to top Colbert and Stewart, but I think we can do it. We have Saturday Night Live, after all… we have every new Saturday to try out something entirely new. And, yet, still you disappoint.

Well, good on ya my Australian mates. And all that stereotypical shit. Click here to see the rest of their YouTube portfolio. There’s a bunch to watch, and it’s all good.
