I grew up with the War. It effected my childhood in ways in which you cannot imagine. The War changed my life.

The Warlords were one-of-a-kind. They fought (perhaps inadvertently) for free speech and equality for all. Had their motto been "Equal Rights For All, Special Privileges For None!" we would have believed them, unlike other organisations. Whether it was challenging the prime minister's claim to bilingualism or   defending one's right to watch ACA without insanely shithouse re-enactments, the Chaser team always fought for the triumph of good over...adversaries.

Is it possible for life to return to pre-war routines? I doubt it. As we, the nation of Australia, watched the emotional montage and heard those apocalyptic words: "The war is over, now we can all be friends..." we watched the sun set on the end of an era.

That's a very moving little testimony.

If only my grammar-and-spelling-pedantry hadn't kicked in on the eighth word...

And I especially love the title. Very post-modern 

[alice j]

I meant it to be 'The Chaser's WOE Eulogy'. But when I posted it-I don't know- I must have rushed it. And anyway...my grammar-and-spelling is always shoddy, because I'm so nervous about making it perfect to avoid conversations like this. It's not easy being new in the Chaser's Official Forum.

I just type what I feel in my heart....

ah, fudge. I had to count, but I located my mistake. Well, I'd like to claim that The War effected my life as well...but then again, that doesn't make sense.

[Adi]

It does make sense, but only if the War had brought about your conception. Which, I suppose, is possible if one's parents were particularly turned on by the thought of Chas bonking a goat... but then you'd be too young to be here.

(I do like the verb 'effect', but I lament its constant misuse...)

You'll learn to ignore my pedantry. Everyone else does.

She thought of Chas while typing the title and her mind drifted...

You'll be saying all that about something/someone else in 6 months.

ah, fudge.

Awww, that's so endearing... 

I now have to resist the urge to wrap you up in a blankie or something.

Don't mind me... tick... tick... It's probably because I spend too much time on the interwebs or something... tick... tick... affects the brain you understand... tick... tick... I mean... tick... tick... I'm not that close to thirty yet... tick... tick...

Oh yeah, and if you go to your first post in this thread and click on the 'modify' link you can change the title of the thread

I don't see how WOE changed things that much...their antics were more high profile, perhaps, but they had been attacking much the same targets in previous shows.

Or we could just do it for her.

Maj, I love you sometimes.

I hope not! I'm fifteen, not eleven; I've been through my short-phases phase. Actually, scratch that; In six months I hope to be so rapt up in a new, exciting and crazy Chaser production that I no longer mourn for the WOE. I guess that's what everyone's hoping: after all, it's here I'll be complaining if the above doesn't come true.

I don't see how WOE changed things that much...their antics were more high profile, perhaps, but they had been attacking much the same targets in previous shows.

True, but the WOE was the most recent activity, so it's the freshest in my mind. It just seems better because the others seem a little hazy. I also have a theory that The WOE's popularity forced the Chaser to produce more general comedy, which is so much harder that comedy on any one topic. Which is why it seems more impressive, which is why it was life-changing. I mean, think about it: everyone from you, to me, to my Geography teacher, watched the WOE- how clever must the team be to be able to produce general entertainment which everyone seemed to enjoy?? (Well, you know, the odd exception...I'm thinking of Chris and cancer) Hey, don't get me wrong: the WOE wasn't my favorite Chaser production...it just seemed the most momentous. But the last season wasn't their finest hour.

'Indifferent to my suffering' is the emotion plastered across everyone in the real world's faces when I get onto the topic of the Chaser's hibernation status. I feel so alone.

Oh yeah, no argument here.  Except because of this, the quality dropped alot, because it had to appeal to the sort of fucktard that watch US sitcoms with laughtracks

[alice j]

*shudder* Laugh tracks are only used to cover the shocked silence when viewers realize that what the character just said was supposed to be funny[i/].
