you're really dumb and lack social skills for starters

yesterday's show wasn't very good.

 

[WantToDoBetter]

I agree.

Surprised to notice a fair bit of Micallef rip-offs - like the randoms in the audience (centurion) and the sick-kids skit (though Mic's was funnier bc it was about sex)

The randoms in the audience are ment to be a running joke for the series. Bee keeper in the first epp and the centurion in this last one.

I'm having trouble finding the boys funny...in the last series they were effing hilarious, now i dont know what it is, i'm just not amused by them making fun of terminally ill people, or the disabled, or religions.
what the hell is wrong with me

i agree. They'll never be able to recapture that form they had 2 years ago.

I don't think they have it in them to be seriously critical of the Rudd government. This will be problematic.

government run channel
wouldn't happen.

Nooooo they got taken off air for 2 weeks

I reallly think that taking them off air for 2 weeks is totally unnecessary imo :mad1:

 

[Dr. Oyster]

If they didnt say 'they're gonna die anyway' this wouldnt have happened.

shame really.

 

[WantToDoBetter]

I think that's true.
I found the sketch funny for both the humor presented and the underlying satire.
It was a very touchy subject and as they admit, they needed to go about it a different way.
2 weeks sucks... But it's a good PR move by the ABC, allowing a cool down period to hopefully maintain ratings.
I'll definitely keep watching.

GO CHASER

I got the message! I understood the joke.

The thing that annnoys me the most is how the media is all like,"Did you see this Wednesday night? You probably didn't, so here's the horrible-unsympathetic-offensive clip."

AND I hate the way everyone is like," Zomg!!11 The Chaser! How could they do this!?!" Can I just remind people that have that view that it is The Chaser- it is expected, it isn't like they haven't done something offensice like this before (eg. West Coke Eagles, Bulldog weapons, Eulogy Song, APEC- just to name a few)

Australia knows what to expect and if you don't like it, then don't watch it!

That is your decision, no one is forcing your to watch it and if you believe by not watching it you are not condoning their actions then that is what you should do.

Personally, it's gona take a lot more for me to switch off.

just tbh, its shit.
not watching it.

Haven't seen any of the new stuff. People are making a big deal out of harmless skit

 

[khorne]

Overall, I think the Chaser, has, as expected gone down hill a bit. I really loved the first season, as well as CNNNN (Best Chaser show). But currently, it's not just doing it for me. I suspose all good things come to an end.

 

[x.christina]

Second season was the best.

 

[InaudibleMelody]

Second season was the best.

No way, first season ruled. Not many people knew who they were and so their skits actually worked. AND it was more of their old stuff (CNNNN) than it is now.

I'm kind of glad this is the last season, they've had a good run.. But at least they're going out while on top (sorta). Hopefully they'll return back to satririca; writing or even better, political satire! Gold
