The Chaser's War On Everything

Does anyone else watch this? For those of you who don't, IMDB describes it as...

Lets face it, Australian TV is for the most part terrible, but this is a real diamond in the rough that not enough people are watching. The Chaser crew who do the satirical newspaper and CNNN try something new by mixing live comedy, pre-recorded skits and political satire into one show filmed in front of a live audience

I love it, and there's a bunch of clips up on Youtube people should check out...

- In a recent Subway ad, one of the employees holds a press conference to discuss the freshness of the sandwiches, so the Chaser crew do the same to see if they get the same reaction.

- An Australian current affairs program had a segment about the youth of today terrorising neighbourhoods and ruining the world, this is their take on it.

- One of the guys puts a stocking over his head as a "fashion statement" and goes shopping probably the best clip of the lot.

- Going to a restaraunt and trying to work out what instruments would work better as background music instead of violins.

- Another clip about the current affairs program, who claimed a completely trashed house was an 'accident'.

- In Australia we have alot of advertisements on TV about warehouse clearance sales, it usually involves some guy screaming at us telling us to buy now, and talking about all of the bargains etc. This is him singing.

- After Australia was knocked out of the World Cup by Italy, the Chaser went to the Italian consolate or something to try and get it back.

- In all of the Lynx deoderant ads (or Axe as it's known in Australia) guys get girls purely because they're wearing it.

There's alot of other things that haven't been uploaded to YouTube just yet, but there's a group for the show here with more videos:

Australia's Best show. Quite seriously. Chris Taylor wearing the stocking over his head was fantastic.

And Chas Licciardello is fucken crazy, but you have to love his commitment to the gags.

Man i love this show probably best show on TV at the moment

Never heard of it. Although it does seem quite funny from the clips, especially the "Stocking Shopper".

What day(s) is it on ?

Friday nights about 10:30 p.m. on abc.

That stuff actually is kinda funny. I think I'll watch some more.

Ah, sweet. We have a week off from soccer so I'll be able to stay up and watch on Friday.

I used to watch it....but i've basically stopped watching TV altogether,

Lol, those are great . Especially the restaurant instruments and the fashion statement one.

Yeah currently one of my fav shows!! Don;t usually get the chance to watch it as I'm usually hitting the piss pretty hard on friday nights but most of them are on the net! thanks Jae!

Lol Jae introduced me to this show the other night. It's pretty good

My favourite is the stocking on head one. And the 'warehouse guy' ones. Hehe.

@ wanker numberplates. Awesome stuff. I still can't believe I forgot to watch it, hopefully I don't forget this week.

Great stuff Jae Found that you can subscribe to the video podcasts (which I strongly recommend for those, like me, that can't watch the show on TV either).
