Good to see it back

Channel Seven, last night, brought back
some classic comedy!"Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em", "Are You Being Served"? and "George & Mildred"


I grew up watching this stuff! Genuinely clever comedy.



Nowadays, TV seems to be filled with show after show about murder, hospitals or those shitty reality shows.

Those so called "comedy shows" that do feature, are all tacky American sitcoms, in which confrontation seems to be the basis of the "comedy" element. (Incidentally, confrontation seems to be the basis of American society).


There are so many great comedy series that should be replayed! Bring back the ENTIRE series of "The Goodies". Channel Seven bought the rights to these in the mid to late 80's after many years of being aired on the ABC. This included a new series, which was only aired once by Seven. I'd love to see it again as I really don't remember it! My favorite Goodies episode would have to the the Rolf Harris episode. The goodies have to round up a plague of mini Rolf's and what better way to do this that dressed as Aussie "Pied Pipers" complete with didgeridoos!

Bit more clever than a fat smart arse 5 year old kid arguing with his dad over which baseball star can eat more donuts.

What about "The Young Ones"? "Bottom"? Anything by Monty Python? Oh yeah, it's all British comedy so far.... but are they not the pioneers of comedy?

Well, of course there is classic Aussie comedy too. The warped humour in "The Aunty Jack Show", "Norman Gunston", a spin off of this show.

"Fast Forward" and it's descendant, "Full Frontal" would have to be some of the funniest Aussie comedy that I can recall.

So what about today? Sacha Barron Cohen is today's comic genius. Borat, who could be compared in some ways to Norman Gunston, is currently my favorite comedy character. A headache for the government of Kazakhstan, yet I feel he takes the piss out America just as much as Kazakhstan.... it's just that the Kazakhs are smart enough to realise.







"Little Britain" is damn funny..... yes, it's quite vulgar, but has me in stitches! So many characters by just 2 blokes. I await the next installment!!


"The Chaser's War On Everything" is Australia's current King of comedy! These blokes take the piss out of anything and everything! They are not afraid, to the point of police intervention in some of their sketches!

My favorite of all at the moment however is South park. No joke is out of bounds. Matt Stone and Trey Parker are pure genius. Twice now, they have managed to produce a cartoon that ends up being imitated in real life.... rather than the other way around.

"Bigger, Longer and uncut", (obviously not a reference to Kyles manhood), was a cartoon movie about public outcry over a bunch of kids seeing a cartoon movie that was intended for adults only.

A movie about itself! Clever.

Then there was the episode about Scientology, in which Tom cruise locked himself in a closet and wouldn't come out. At the end of this episode he threatens to sue for being made to look like a fool.

After airing, the real life Cruise did just that!

Stone/Parker..... fucken geniuses!
