Right JoJoK, don't take anything to heart everyone hear is full of generalisations because that's what we do, and nothing you can say will stop anyone dissing on girls, especially of the age 14 or 13, or a little either side.

This was a much better ep, I thought of Fungry's instantly with that reality wish sketch, and I thought it had some good lines, but the main line that chris delivered of "they're just going to die anyway?" I thought that was a bit errrrr... I like the inbrady bunch xD I giggled, same with the oscar bait one, I really, really liked that sketch, and hay... uhhhhhm, I don't think there's a problem with eating hay, it's only hay :P it's not like it's going to kill you. or it's gross... it's just... well hay. so not shits n giggles from me there. uhhhm and buckingham palace was pro, props for leaving the copper saying (paraphrase) "if you want me to say so for your little tv program, to get all the laughs you can..." I squeed.

WHO THE HELL LETS 7 YEAR OLDS WATCH THIS SHITE??? Their target audience must be ages 6-14 this time around. No wonder we all think it is crap, we arent in their age group anymore.  :cry:  :cry:

The Chaser boys have set up the jump ramp over the shark tank and are revving the motorcycle while Pinky Tuscadero looks on in horror.

Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me that they are desperately trying to land some lucrative overseas sales (or move altogether), which is why they have prepackaged so much content from their individual world tours last year. They hold onto these clips for dear life in the hope that something vaguely relevant pops up that justifies playing them. (This also means that they don't have to do as much work week to week preparing content that is actually topical)

I thought the sick kids sketch was the highlight last night of a pretty thin show. I've definitely seen that Oscar movie sketch done (better) elsewhere and I thought that the bored expression on the cops face at Buckingham Palace said it all. His comments about them going away if he gives them the punchline they so clearly wanted so they could get some laughs for their show were pure pwnage. (Points to the team for including them).

The Fritzl sketch was outrage for outrage's sake - way to stick it to a girl who was imprisoned in a basement for decades, raped repeatedly and made to bear children to her demented father. That'll show her. Seriously guys, satire is really meant to stick it to the powerful. Inbreeding and incest is funny (wrong but funny) when it's consensual but this just wasn't cool and seemed a lot more like callous attention seeking.

Generally speaking, the skits where you pick on poor schmucks working in shops or dumb vox popees on the street are similarly weak and paint you as self important tossers. I'll admit that I laughed when you did the whole bandit/stocking mask thing last season but when I think about it, those poor shopkeepers didn't deserve that kind of fright just for turning up to work.

How about trying a little harder to be funny (like the original newspaper) and a little less hard to be the naughty attention seeking boys sticking it to soft (and dated) targets.

Fuck, I wrote out a whole thing here and just deleted it. Basically was that it must be getting hard to get a genuine reaction from Aussies because they are now too recognisable. I don't mind the overseas stuff (who doesn't like laughing at americans) as long as it has some relevance. Also, the bit with chas as a waiter looked horribly set up and fake. Makes you wonder why they didn't do it properly, but again that's probably due to being too recognised.

Uh, I think the bit at the end with andrew at the type writer was supposed to make that point. Not that they were making fun of the situation, but that people who don't latch on to the full issue when being outraged, if you get what I mean.

Yeah, I got that Bookworm, I just thought it was a half-rate Monty Python ripoff that they popped in because they knew they were crossing a line and wanted to pre-emptively dismiss people who might call them on it.

Ok, calming down now.  :-D

I guess my main problem with the overseas stuff is that it cuts down on the more edgy, topical content. It can still be funny, I know.

No, I think the idea was that the Inbredy bit was the bit that was added in and it was the type writer bit that was the main point of the skit. The punch line, kinda thing. What it seems like they may do is put one of these in every episode (although I am more than happy to be proven wrong on this one).

And Pierce, please, call me booky/bookie/bookster/worm or any of the numerous names I get called. Bookworm always seems so formal...

You weren't calm? I was going to say that you'll fit in fine here, but if that's angry...
