Aussies: Summer Heights High

[bono_man]

Has anyone seen this? What a fucking fantastic show!! I loved We Can Be Heroes and Chris Lilley seems to have bettered himself in this one.

"public schools are so random"

My Auntie's neighbours car is in it It's a little purple thingy.
Haven't watched the show. Sometimes Chris Lilley can be really funny and other times really annoying.

"IKEA - the musical"

 

[bono_man]

I love the drama teacher Mr G.

"Thank God you're here! Grandma's been raped!"

 

[cobl04]

It was funny as. I got a bit sick of Mr. G though. Jonah is by far the funniest. "Sorry homo. Sorry ranga."

 

[jonnytakeawalk]

[dazzlingamy]

Mr G is horrendous! hahahaha

 

[intedomine]

... I know I am completely behind, but I've just 'discovered' this show, along with 'We Can Be Heroes'.

What absolutely fantastic shows!! How good is Chris Lilley? Not only is he incredibly funny, but the way in which highlights social prejudices, staff-room politics and the public vs. private school system is just complete genius. Absolute brilliance!!

"Shes a naughty girl with a bad habit, a bad habit for drugs."

Chris has really made a name form himself.

This show will be talked about for years and years.

 

[Saracene]

I thought it was pretty good, but not *that* good. Chris Lilley is a very talented guy though.

puck you sir

 

[impy13]

Maybe I'll just go and root some teacher or something and get pregnant. And then you deal with that. You'll have to fucking raise the baby. Is that what you want?

You should get out of FYM more often so everyone else can see your avatar.

I watched a couple of episodes during the fall and especially loved Mr. G and his Chihuahua but I didn't like it enough to watch it regularly.

watcehd it as it aired in Australia. Watched we can be heroes as it aired as well.

He is a genious. "That's a nice top miss, did you get that from Suzanne's???"

"IT'S NOT CUM!!"

"Sorry Ben! ... <you muthafucka!!>"

The only prob with summer heights high was no more Ricky Wong.

 

[intedomine]

Get a Sense of Humour Car!

This show is awesome, not just hilarious, but remarkably accurate in reflecting the Melbourne public school experience....

Good to see the Americans are enjoying it too... are you loving the dicktations popping up everywhere?

to be honest, we watched each episode twice. (we meaning me and the bf, not we as in "americans.")

because we had a hard time understanding Jonah.

i find myself singing the songs a lot -- "she's a party girl with a bad habit/ bad habit for drugs" -- and i think that Ja'mie's speech where she talks about how most wife-beaters and rapists come from public schools -- "i'm sorry, no offense, but it's true" -- are my favorite moments.

that and when she did the whole "christian!" "skank!" "lesbian!" "asian!" thing for the year 11 formal.

I've been obsessed with this for ages now, I bought the DVD off Amazon before they started showing it here and now everyone likes it because it's on the bbc

I'm in love with Jonah, and Gumnut Cottage. I laugh literally everytime Gumnut Cottage is mentioned for some reason.

Everytime I go into FYM and see it I want to comment... but feel it's a bit of an inappropriate comment to make in the middle of a Gaza discussion or something
