I'm still here though.
Me too... always watching.... especially in the dark.
Looks like liszt-and-the-galops might be gone for now. I'm still here though.
Oh god... you did NOT just bring Fast Forward into this thread... did you???Surely you have better taste than that. For me - you can't beat 'The Sketch Show': Bloody hilarious.
Come on, Fast Forward/Full Frontal represents legendary Australian comedy.

Hannah Howard runs the Sydney office of paper distributor Flinley Craddock. Head Office is planning to shut down the office and have everyone work from home, a development that doesn't sit well with Hannah. So, with the aid of sidekick Lizzie, she tries to undermine Head Office's plan.The original UK version of The Office was brilliant, an hilarious, intelligent blend of cringe-comedy and human drama set against the backdrop of an average office. It was so good that I initially refused to watch the US version, figuring it could not possibly live up to the original and would just be a cheap American knock-off.Eventually I watched the US version and, to my surprise, not only was it a great credit to the original series, in some ways it even surpassed it.So, with the legacy of being spawned by two of the greatest TV comedy series of all time we now have...the Australian version of The Office. I know living up to the quality of those two series is a tough ask but the producers and writers could at least have tried. While quite closely following the plot of those series, especially the US series, this is nothing like those series.For a start, laughs are few and far between. Somebody should have reminded the writers that for cringe-comedy, you need comedy. This is just cringe. Characters are dull and irritating, plot-lines are irritating, the actors try to mimic the actors of the US series but don't come anywhere near to capturing what made that series so special. It's a struggle to get through an episode.Quite embarrassing, not only as a fan of the first two versions of The Office but also as an Australian.
It's the fact the comedic skill and synergy between the Australian cast was not possible for the Americans to capture at the same elite level.
Come on - saying that show is a comedy is like calling Paris Hilton a pilot because she once flew in a plane.
Well... even something mediocre can be the highest rated something, if there's not that much competition.No offence, but when you talk about the best comedies - none of the Australian comedies ever come into the discussion. You posted however, an excellent example of British comedy - one that still incites humour to this day, despite being almost 50 years old.
I talked about legendary Australian comedy, Australian, I said Australian, Australian comedy, legendary comedy that is Australian... from Australia... lol
I just said "a pirate ship." Why would I want to call you a pile of nit, you filthy bugger?
Yes, I know that... but that's because the bar is set so low for comedy in Australia.
Despite the ongoing popularity of Hey Hey with viewers during its first incarnation, by the late 1990s some television critics considered the show to be corny and had become "a tired old fossil". Although the 21st-century incarnation of the show also initially rated highly, the show came under renewed criticism for being backward and culturally insensitive. In retrospect, its outlook and many of its jokes are now considered by some commentators to be racist, sexist, and homophobic
World known??? Just because you get some celebrities on the show who happen to be in the country at the time doesn't make it "world known". That's a reach... even for you.
Didn't Daryl Somers also participate in blackface during the show in the 80's??? Not cool... not even remotely.
Doublefistedly this dynamic duo has raised the popularity of beloved international film star, Paul Hogan, Australia's best known and most beloved folk hero, comedian, actor, and philanthropist, in a bloody war that was decided, in the end, by attrition and apathy.
The guy is a fraud.
Figured since it's musically related - everyone would get a kick out of it.
Also, she doesn't realise you can barely hear her voice due to the loud sound of the piano?
Not a bad pastiche of how a twelve year old would call it. Or a guitar player.
That seem unfair on Guitar players though... they don't know what a treble clef is. Don't they just read tabs and numbers???
Handy hint - GIF's are more impressive than JPG's when dealing with the topic of pool trick shots... For example - AWESOME:
I'm talking about making the break ball and either leave safe or make and try to run up over a hundred.The fifteenth ball has to make pocket called, and the idea is to make the called shot while breaking open the rack of fourteen.Yeah, I know. Heard it all before. King Charles III, your sovereign, has many nations under which one plays an arguably more challenging game. AKA snooker. Slightly bigger table, smaller pockets. The tactics are the same, though.
It hasn't really made its presence known as much as Twitter has (I refuse to call it 'X' as X just sounds *** dumb).
You cannot "tweet" anymore, since "Twitter" does not exist.X does, and one can easily xitter on X.
Although, the brand and the aforementioned moron who now controls it is a bit of a blight on the human race... especially for propping up that bloated gasbag who now seemingly rules America again.
Gilels is the best piano player ever!!!
Bollocks - that award goes to Maurizio Pollini...
Yes, that eff-stain South African retarded monkey is a foolish and deeply incestuous, self-polluted example of evil. Agreed. And no comment on that garish self-spectacle with the ridiculous wig, the fat body, the dementia, and the spray paint on its face. Give him about a dozen hamberders with extra catsup and he'll keel over due to lack of common sense and basic hygiene.
