Anyone remember good old Australian comedy series such as Fast Foward? Ever since I got Foxtel back in Nov. 2000 I've been catching up on all incarnations of Fast Forward and two of my favourite sendups are the Roger Rams***t rug sale one and the Dodgy Brothers ones. Ahhh memories. Anyway, anyone else used to or still watch these Australian classics?

that was a classic show fast forward!

comedy company was good too :D

I like the advertising guys and the gay flight attendants :)

Haha Brent, Barry and Smythe or something were the ad agency guys right? Hahaha oh man some of their stuff was sooo funny. And the flight attendents, hahah they'd never get away with that now (all the gay lobby groups would have a hissy fit).

I always thought the gay flight attendents were gay.

neff is funny

Goody goody yumm yumm!!!!

when on dayshift;

get home at 3:40ish.. turn telly on, switch to 25 and watch the end of fast forward then totally full frontal till 5:30.. most awesome afternoon!!

I thought this thread was going to be about you dissing Roger Ramjet!

i like Shaun Micalef's early work (Milo, half of the crazy coppers with Glen Butcher, Fabio and David McGann)

He always cracked me up bigtime;

yer. milo owned!

and eric banas POITER!

Cooking with Milo was awesome.

poiter was sweet as well;

hehe, good to see that most of this stuff doesnt even seem overly dated;

its still funny now;

Hehe "This is Fabio the most beautiful man in all the cosmos saying these words to you".

Oi, it's POITER!

gotta love dat mullet of his.. and stories he told.. the chicks name was nearly always Sharon, if i remember correctly!?!?.. wish them episodes were on!

Oh man those were great.
How about kym gingell's character who just kept saying 'crap'. or the National Nightly Network News or whatever...

"It's CRAP Ray, CRAP."

wot about this awesome fantastic thing!@#!

its CRAP.

and the, nah. dollar lady!

so many memories!

Why don't we have comedy shows like that now? Doing sendups of aussie television and advertising. All we have now are American sitcoms.

yer, they could make fuunies about the american sitcoms!

Because Australian TV executives are a pack of d*******s who don't give a s*** about how good or bad their TV is so long as the next episode of the depressingly bad Friends is aired.

Goody goody yumm yumm!!!!

GOODIES!!!!!!!!!


How about a nice, warm Fukorie rug?

What about those old sk00l puppet polies on the spac shipe, with Bob Hawk, Paul Keeting, that guy that says Bigs Bum all the time,.. O those where so funny.

Genuine 4000 year old Faquari rugs!

Ahhh, I used to watch them when they were on at 7:30pm weeknights on channel seven. Gotta love Poita when he was the host of Playschool..

Ahh, nostalgia..

There's a hole in me geskit mechanic mechanic.

all i can say is watch the late show, now that is comedy gold as well :)

Which one? (Who is the host)

haha
my fav was eddie who wanted to know how they recycled toilet paper... hosing it down or vooomphing it up with a vacuum cleaner lol

also how he wanted an answering machine so he could win sale of the century ahahahah

Saw an interview with Steve Vizard once and he said he actually got a call from a flight steward who went off at him for acting like all flight stewards were gay. He said the guy gave him so much more material than he could ever think up.

The space ship had what was known as Rubbery Figures in it. Theat was fun and it wasnt Bigs Bum that he was saying it was Pigs Arse. And it was supposed to be John Singleton I believe.

He said the guy gave him so much more material than he could ever think up.

Hahaha.

memories ;(

comedy company lead me on to the other funny shows

tho jimoein (HOWEVER THE f*** YOU SPELL IT) will always hold a place in my heart


WORLD IN CRISIS

uhh...everyone is quoting/talking about full frontal?
fast forward had nothing on it.

uhh...everyone is quoting/talking about full frontal?

I think you meant the other way round... Fast Foward was the predecessor to Full Frontal and Totally Full Frontal...

Fast Foward was the original and the best.

Full Frontal, with Shaun Micalef and the gazelles was gold.

Also, the Micalef Program was rad.

Funniest skit ever, was where that fat guy brought in a bucket and a ladder, climbed to the top, and then started pissing into the bucket. Then when he climbed down Shaun said, "i thought you were going to jump into the bucket." Then the fat guy says, "what? into a bucket of piss?"

f***ing classic.

Yeah, I've been watching Fast Forward and Full Frontal on Foxtel.

I'd seen pretty much every Full Frontal episode before that anyway, but I'd missed Fast Forward...so I've been catching up. :)

Its quite sad that the only things I watch on TV are repeats on Foxtel. Free-to-air TV just keeps getting worse and worse.

Who used to do the News? The little guy who's TV character had a drinking problem and a lisp? He used to crack me up :)

Yeah sif they shouldn't bring those awesome shows back!! Aus TV has really gone to s***... even the Aus shows are GAY now... TOO MUCH LIFESTYLE/REALITY BULLs***!! Long live Full Frontal/Fast Forward etc - some of teh best television ever. The only thing that comes close these days is Pizza, and its off atm too!! *cries*!!!

Pizza? Fat Pizza?

Fast Forward is far from 'teh orgiinal'... it evolved from the comedy company which was started by a group of comedians from... errr... i forget the name of it... generation x or something...

THe show is called "Pizza", Fat Pizza is the company the show is about... why is that so hard for people to understand?

haha yea pizza is awesome ..but i have to say that eric banna and shaun mcalif or however you spell his name just made the show for me. nothing better than "poiter and ted doin burnouts in the manaro" ...fkn gold :p

The space ship had what was known as Rubbery Figures in it. Theat was fun and it wasnt Bigs Bum that he was saying it was Pigs Arse. And it was supposed to be John Singleton I believe.

i think ull find its actually John Elliot (president of Carlton Football Club)

Soz anarot, I didnt make it clear, I knew it was called Pizza, but I was wondering whether it was the show about the pizza company Fat Pizza.

But yeah, Pizza rocks. Anyone see that episode where they spill radioactive cheese into the city's water supply, and it acts as an aphrodesiac? :D

i forget the name of it... generation x or something...

D Generation? I think the are the group responsible for Bargearse.

i think ull find its actually John Elliot (president of Carlton Football Club)

Yeah it is/was him, and he actually did/does say "pigs arse" in real life.

Yes thats the fella....I couldnt remember his name.

D-Generation were one of the first....the large part of D-gen is now The Panel.

They also did Frontline.

And Funky Squad.

and The Late Show and The Castle and The Dish and A River Somewhere (some of them) and numerous documentaries
