If they were to present themselves as adults, they coudn't pretend that "hard hitting political satire" equated to "pretending to take a dump/shag a goat in a store and filming random people's reactions".

If they keep up the "just a bunch o' lads having fun, boys will be boys, all a joke" stuff, then we are obliged to forgive them and find it hilarious.


As much as I didn't like what the Chaser became in the end, surely all that matters is if it's funny....

We've got 7, 9 and 10 to do candid camera bullshit, could we have just one comedy show on one channel dealing with social or political issues in a mature way?  Closest we have at the moment is the Gruen Transfer, which is fine in of itself, but is dealing with a fairly narrow subject.

The Chaser were never in the style of the Gruen Transfer. Even in CNNN days, I don't think they were going for mature.
