The Late Show: Champagne Comedy

[cobl04]

I've always wanted to do it. And I've hijacked enough threads in the past quoting it. I'VE HAD A GUTFUL!

So I've decided to make this thread, The Late Show, which ran in 1992-93 on Aussie TV for those who missed it, and I know this thread may fail spectacularly, but I'm willing to take the risk as I know there are at least four or five or six others out there who can join me, and for those with time to kill, you'll enjoy the youtube vids.

And why not start with a classic.

My favourite youtube vid from the late show:

YouTube - Undiscovered Masterpieces of the Cinema: Jaws The Revenge

 

[cobl04]

i actually turned off the TV for this. let's hope it kicks on.

i'm excited, as the only skits i've seen are the ones on the dvd.

 

[dan_smee]

watch the one I posted

 

[cobl04]

the shark beating the plane to the bahamas

let's spread the word.

their rudubbings of Rush (Olden Days) and Bluey (Bargearse) are also classic

YouTube - The Late Show: Arnold Schwarzenegger Interview

Correct thread, now.

Bargearse is brilliant, I need to watch Olden Days again.

for those who've got the dvd's, the commentaries are brilliant. tony martin said he was in makeup for four hours straight for that sketch.

YouTube - The ABC Late Show - 'Desmond Tutu'.

for those who've got the dvd's, the commentaries are brilliant. tony martin said he was in makeup for four hours straight for that sketch.

The Jackson Jive could learn something from that one.

I always liked the Pissweak World sketches (and the Pissweak Kids obv). They took up the production for dodgy rural amusement park ads at the time (and probably still now) pretty damn well.

YouTube - Pissweak Air World

i hadn't seen that one!

remember also this stuff:

YouTube - Charlie the Wonderdog - "Rescue on Mt. Variable Weather"

which made me remember that bud has since passed on.

I hadn't seen that one in a long time, nice. Also this:

He's trying to cheer us up with one of his elaborate tricks!

I was in tears after that skit where Mick and Tony are looking around all those dodgy stores (Bolt Bloke, Dashboard Doctor, Padre Peos, Stax of Slax)......one of the funniest things I've ever seen.....

Pissweak World!


This is classic......

"hey steveo, can you get that fat chick to bring me another bottle of homo water?"

Loving the thread! When I get better net reception I'll be able to see the vids, but to be honest, with the exception of one or two posted I know which skits you're all talking about! Love the dvd collection that they released, and the commentaries are great fun to listen to.

May be sacrilage to the memory of The Late Show, but I wasn't a Bargearse fan

I love Graham and The Colonel , all of Shit Scared, Jeff and Terry, and of course Santo the Magnificent! The guys were brilliant in everything else too, can't think of a skit that fell down flat.

I'm just glad that Gleisner/ Cilauro/ Sitch/ Kennedy are all doing The Hollowmen. A show that Aussie tv definitely needs.

But The Late Show.

 

[Miss Milly]

And now off to watch the dvd

 

[cobl04]

I'm watching it again as well, takes me 12 hours over a couple of nights because I watch the skits, and then watch them again with the commentary.

Australian TV is sorely missing this kind of light entertainment.

 

[Axver]

there is more to come too. beg, and i think axver might know it as well.

Alison is a fan and introduced me to the goodness of the Late Show earlier this year. I feel like I should not have been granted Australian citizenship until that moment.

The Mr Whippy Grand Prix in particular is fucking classic.

 

[cobl04]

and the group grows...

this is going to be the stealthiest thread of all time.

don't forget this character:

YouTube - Shirty The Slightly Aggressive Bear Drunk

featuring russell crowe's prophecy.

I'm heeeee-eeeerreeeeee!!!!!

How did I miss this thread??? Fuck I think I didn't have a social life in those years, cos I was home watching every episode....

Pissweak World!!!! Bonnie will appreciate this, my boyfriend at the time and I stopped at Puzzle Park once, only so we could waste 20 bucks riding some of the most lamearse slippery dips ever built by some doofus from 3 bits of leftover galvo, and solely because we could then spend the rest of our days forever calling it Pissweak World!!!

Graham and the Colonel. And Shirty the Frontal Lobotomy Bear!!!!! Have you got any of the clips of them sending up Countdown, wearing platform shoes and sitting on bean bags????

And I Tony Martin and I don't care who knows it

Puzzle Park will ALWAYS be Pissweak World to me.

 

[Miss Milly]

And I Tony Martin and I don't care who knows it

i'm with you on that one. I don't know what it is about him (though I think I recognise the major nerd in him and that works well with my nerdiness too ) but I him too.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Make that three! I reread his autobiography again this year, and I'm waiting for an excuse to do it again.
