However now the infamous APEC security breach, which made headlines around the world, could help catapult Australia's most notorious scallywags into the American TV market following early talks to shoot a pilot for the Fox Network in the US.
Chaser Craig Reucassel let slip the boys _ helped by the exposure surrounding last year's APEC stunt _ have been approached to shoot a pilot in the US.
However, one-sixth of the comedy team admitted there were still several factors to iron out.
"In some ways it seems like a good thing to do but in others there are still a few questions to be asked."
One of those questions is whether the comedic troupe will retain creative control over their unique War On Everything concept which is already an international YouTube hit.
Former ABC comedy Kath and Kim has been completely re-cast and re-written for the US market while Chris Lilley's Summer Heights High will screen in the US and Britain in its original form.
"We're not really keen to go and do a massively watered-down version of what we do," Craig said.
"And things are definitely still in the pilot stage which kind of involves figuring out what they want and whether it is something we want to do."
In the meantime the boys are busy touring the country with their Age Of Terror Variety Hour show which makes its way to Brisbane for a June 25-28 run."
