Die, Fluffy Wuffy, Die!
NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY! If this blog is anything it's sit-down comedy. I don't break news stories. I rant, growl, quack on and joke about them. If you can't see where this blog is coming from you're an utter peckerhead.

Sacha Baron Cohen's war on everything

Tuesday, 28 July 2009 12:35 P GMT+10
The Chaser boys reckon they're waging a war on everything, but it's actually more a petty, puerile campaign against some things such as Christians, conservatives, and the idea that comedy should actually make you laugh. They're completely

Chasing politically correct approval

Monday, 20 July 2009 1:00 P GMT+10
More dreary PC "satire" from the Chaser boys: In a skit making reference to Kevin Rudd's populist comments about the ban on climbing Uluru, they tried to scale the spire of the church he worships at.  There's that old law in ac

The dumping of Amanda Duthie

Thursday, 11 June 2009 10:34 P GMT+10
The way the ABC is dealing with this Chaser sketch scandal is absurd. I mean, sacking the Head of TV Comedy because she didn't flag the sketch and refer it upwards for consideration? It's the kind of bureaucratic buck passing you might see in

The Chastened

Monday, 8 June 2009 10:45 P GMT+10
Re this cancer kids comedy kerfuffle: One of the Chaser team said "it was meant to be so over the top that people wouldn't take it seriously".  Well if you're going to do that, you have to make it crystal clear. You have to con

Provoking the primate

Monday, 1 June 2009 12:39 P GMT+10
Despite the large numbers watching, many viewers said the latest episode of The Chaser was a real stinker. The feeling seems to be that their glory days are behind them; that they've well and truly "flown the Vatican". I reckon they'

Gay jokes on The Footy Show

Thursday, 28 May 2009 12:48 P GMT+10
Matthew Johns, the boofhead the squitterati love to hate, is embroiled in a new controversy. This time, he's provoked the ire of the gay community with a "homophobic" skit on The Footy Show. Says gay rights activist Gary Burns:“Yo

Premature exasperation?

Wednesday, 27 May 2009 5:23 P GMT+10
The Advanced Medical Institute has been in hot water in the past because of its billboards. It's fallen foul of the authorities again, with its latest advertisiment being deemed too offensive and demeaning for broadcast.  The offending ad ha

Creative Sydney lauds Earth Hour and The Chaser

Friday, 22 May 2009 5:47 P GMT+10
The Chaser has gotta be one of the worst shows on the teev. It's witless, nasty and not very funny. "Stunt humour" is done very well by someone like Sacha Baron Cohen because he is genuinely duping his victims, is an accomplished actor

Selective sensitivities

Wednesday, 13 May 2009 2:40 P GMT+10
Still on the subject of humor and political correctness:ABC management courageously stands by their purported satirists from The Chaser when they mock Catholics. But it goes all squeamish when other groups are offended. I reckon it's fine if you&

No-joke zone

Tuesday, 12 May 2009 12:16 P GMT+10
Journalists the world over continue to grovel at the feet of President Obama. Comics, too, are generally very reluctant to give him a urinectomy (piss-take).About the only reason they'd get stuck into him is if he were to emulate Bill Clinton an

Jay Leno's Susan Boyle impersonation

Tuesday, 21 April 2009 12:52 P GMT+10
The media coverage of Susan Boyle and her stunning performance on Britian's Got Talent has been overwhelmingly positive, but Jay Leno has broken ranks with an impersonation of her.  Seems to be all in good fun; not malicious. But it does pro

Funny forever

Tuesday, 14 April 2009 10:36 A GMT+10
The thing that has always amazed me about Barry Humphries (apart from his amazing energy) is how well he manages to stay with the times.  Dame Edna Everage, for instance, has been "alive" for several decades. Yet she never seems out of

Van Damme grows up

Tuesday, 10 March 2009 1:26 P GMT+10
Jean Claude Van Damme always seemed stuck in a state of retarded machismo. When confronted with the accusation that his movies encouraged violence, for example, he would get very indignant. "My film are da healthy film, wise film!" he would

Please catch up

Thursday, 19 February 2009 12:30 P GMT+10
Aussie "satirists" are trying to make a wry flick about the Pauline Hanson phenomenon. The project, titled Please Explain, will use archival footage to add verisimilitude. They're hoping that Cate Blanchett will star as the pollie all l

Carrie on depression

Saturday, 27 December 2008 10:44 A GMT+10
When trying to explain the "black dog" people seem to fall into two major camps: There are those who reckon it's all to do with brain chemistry, and those who say it's primarily caused by experiences. I'd say the nature of Carri

Wagging the Bush dog: Of shoes, Schumanns and showbiz

Tuesday, 16 December 2008 1:51 P GMT+10
Great comic I knew who is sadly no longer with us had this great line: "That's life imitating satire." Well, this flying shoe episode could be a perfect example of what he meant ...Remember that movie called Wag the

Comedy becomes farce

Saturday, 1 November 2008 12:30 P GMT+10
Whether you think the fallout from the prank call made by Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand was over the top or not, one thing's for sure: it reveals the sad decline of British comedy culture. Now, what passes for comedy is leaving puerile, obscene

Leftist irony? You must be joking!

Thursday, 12 June 2008 11:12 P GMT+10
Here we go. Clearly stung by my recent post about his Gaia-phobic faux pas, the loathsome Derek Sapphire counters with a claim that he was merely being "tongue-in-cheek".That's sooo typical of these leftie saps isn't it? They say so

Gary Adshead, journalistic joke

Sunday, 25 May 2008 3:36 P GMT+10
The absurdity of this Troy Buswell quokka-kicking "scandal" still has me reeling!See, several days ago, I received a call from a friend in Perth who left a message saying that there was a story about me being the quokka soccer "ho

Hillary Clinton remains relentless, unperturbed

Friday, 16 May 2008 11:06 A GMT+10
Pundits across the globe have been saying that a win for Obama is a lay down misere for quite some time.  Still, there are a few more rounds in the gruesome grudge match left to go.  So Hillary may be down, but she's still not

It's a joke, Joyce!

The fact that someone seems to have taken what I write literally and it's made national headlines has made me think about the tone of this blog, since I mustn't have made it clear.  At the risk sounding like some wanky dipso poet on a Ra

Comic irony

Saturday, 22 March 2008 1:20 P GMT+10
Good Andrew Bolt piece on the Melbourne Comedy Festival.  He points out that many of these purported "satirists" and "social observers" think that they're questioning the irrational, religious dogmas of the day but are ac

Astonishing! Cant-sodden Melbourne festival produces actual comedy!

Wednesday, 19 March 2008 12:46 P GMT+10
In a clear case of what po-mo quackademics would call "subverting the dominant paradigm" the Melbourne International Comedy Festival has finally produced something genuinely cack-worthy.  Not intentionally, but.  It'

Dame Edna's bridesmaid Madge Allsop dies at 100

Sunday, 24 February 2008 4:11 P GMT+10
Anyone who has seen a Dame Edna show will remember the character of Madge Allsop.  She never says a thing, just sits there looking pathetic while Edna cranks out the hilariously cruel lines.I remember her in TV specials from the mid 1980s.

Iowahawk's divine comedy

Thursday, 14 February 2008 12:03 A GMT+10
For yonks I've heard it said that satire is a leftist medium.  That's partially true in my country of Oz -- not because lefties are more talented in this regard -- simply that by dominating the media as thoroughly and ruthlessl
