This is my reaction to The Shaun Micallef Programme - Racism
In this video I react to more Australian comedy from Australian comedian Shaun Micallef and his comedy sketch show The Micallef P(r)ogram(me)
Original Video - • The Shaun Micallef Pro...
Two words. "Milo Kerrigan" !!!!
FAFENEFENOIBY!!😝
You need to check out his political satire programme "Mad as Hell". It screened on The ABC. It was some his best work. I really miss it.
Oh yes,brilliant.I do miss that show!
@@Wokko1963 worst-funded?
Yeah, brilliant stuff.
So do I! Sorely missed.
@@Wokko1963Are you serious!? You have no sense of humour
Shaun actually used to be a lawyer. Can you imagine him in a courtroom?
Indeeed!
It's great that he chose to make people laugh rather than get lots of money. As he's on the ABC he doesn't have a big mainstream following. I think a lot of his comedy is too intellectual for most. He's the funniest man in Australia.
@@martythomas2383he’s had multiple programs on Nine and Ten and back in the day, Seven. He has a huge following - where have you been?
@@Wokko1963Magistrates and AAT are attended by solicitors.
😂😂😂😂😂
Shaun Micalle is more a satirist than a comedian I think. He's very clever.
He is very clever, isn't he? Very mercurial.
A good observation!
A group of my friends and I met Shaun walking down a major street in Melbourne CBD. He was so gracious and stopped for everyone and did photos. Great guy.
If you’re interested in Australian humour with racist overtones, you must watch the series “How to talk Australians” which is on RUclips. An Indian cast, replete with turbans, saris etc from the Delhi College of Linguistics, teaching Australian English. It’s full of racist jokes stereotypes etc or maybe it’s not.
Love that series...... but I don't think it's actually racist; which is why it's so clever.
@@anserbauer309 hence my last sentence.
@@tugdumbly1927 Yep. I was agreeing with you.
Be this the Micallef of Aussie Poetry I see before me!
Shaun has such a wide body of work it's hard to know where to start. Watching his characters on Full Frontal had me in tears laughing. Btw you pronounce his surname Mick-CAR-Luff with a emphasis on the CAR
It's a Maltese name, pronounced Mih-Cal-Leff, emphasis on the Cal, as you say.
@@engenulf Bloody wog name.
This is Fabio, saying these things to you.
Best sketches ever.
Oh man, you've got a whole Sean Micallef rabbit hole ahead of you. From Full Frontal to The Micallef Program (season 1,2,3), Newstopia, Mad as Hell and all the various side projects... The well is deep :)
Shaun is hilarious. He does an amazing sports interviewer, constantly correcting the grammar etc of the footballers, for example.
Mi-CAR-leff, not Micka-LEFF. FYI.
As you say, "EXCELLENT".
And many of us (Australians) cannot cope with it ... deny deny deny ... excuses excuses.
:)
Shaun is a very clever man and also a comedy genius. I love comedy but out of all the people I have watched and admired over the years Shaun has literally reduced me to tears of laughter more times than anyone else.
It's pronounced. Mi CAR Leff
Sean Micallief is hilarious. I really liked his David Mcghan documentary segents especially the one about Yohan Sepbastian Bach. There is also another sketch called the Distance of Politeness which tickles my funny bone.
FWIW Mahatma Cote is a brownface character created about 20 years ago by former Australian cricker Greg Ritchie that was pretty racist. That ended up on morning radio as well as a popular late night sports programm. Pretty disgraceful, and unfortunately not the only instance.
You've only touched on the spectrum of Shaun Micallef's comedy.
He was the host of the series ‘Talkin’ about your generation’. A comedy quiz show with three generations. Gen Y. Gen X and Baby Boomers. It was a pretty funny show and it was never too serious. He also had a show called Micallef Tonight. He has done of a lot of political comedy in the way where he explains, mocks, and laughs at politics, policies, and other Political stuff. He is comedic genius.
And Mad As Hell
That show would have to be described as the lowest point of Micallefs’ career. Now that our Scots host has discovered the good stuff, all the commercial and distasteful flotsam that is generally recommended to him can be ignored. I hope.
His best shows were
The Micallef Program
Mad as Hell
Newstopia
Talking About Your Generation and
Micallef's Tonight were alright nothing brilliant with a few a moment's of brilliance.
@@Chapps1941says who?
@@lizziebkennedy7505 Jurgen Kleissenstolt. The well known Libran German TV commemtator.
Mahat mecoat (?) comes from a cricket comedy by the "12th man" having a go at Indian cricketers names. Worth a watch
Mahatma Gandi was the source I thought.
Cuthisarmiarf and Soonhelhavasca priceless cricketers 😂.
Nah that was Greg Ritchie’s racist caricature from the Footy Show, Mahatma Coat

FYI - Micallef is pronounced Mi-car-leff >1st & last syllable with short vowel sound & middle syllable with long vowel sound like "car".
He is Scottish, not Australian, he can pronounce it however he wants! 🧐
Aussies are just so laid back that we laugh at ourselves all of the time and don't see much of an issue laughing at others either. It's naive to think that other races don't make jokes about us too which we can laugh along with. This world needs to lighten up and take a leaf from what we just viewed. Laughter is the best medicine and as long as we aren't severely offended anyone, what's the harm?🇦🇺💖
Facts. Usually people getting offended are offended on behalf of others and the people being joked about do not care. The people getting offended for others are worse than anyone telling a joke. They are literally speaking for someone else, taking away their voice.
This is fantasy level self appraisal!
@@ozzybloke-craig3690 That's almost a tongue twister, but I get your point. Call me old fashioned but since the internet and social media, I've never seen or heard of so much censorship just in everyday life. It's totally out of control, especially on platforms where there are many different cultures using it and there will always be those who take offence personally or on behalf of others. It's the RUclips algorithm that desperately needs to lighten up!
@@garethb1961 How?
@@krisushi1 gareth has low testosterone levels.
Always liked Shaun Micallef. Kooky and surreal but really funny
Just to help you.
Shaun is called MAC CALL IF.
Ibelieve that is right because I went to school with one.
Cheers. 🇦🇺
I always though it was Mc CAR liff
It's a Maltese name, pronounced Mih-Cal-Leff, emphasis on the Cal
I think the Australian pronunciation is Mick-kale-if.
... and as he is Australian ...
In a weird coincidence I bought the box set of this sbow and hopped off the tram straight in front of Shaun. I had a lovely chat with him. I've been to the taping of mad as hell a few times cause I live next to the TV studio. Watch wrong casting choice skit. It's insanity. Lol
Shaun had many great sketches with characters that he developed weekly. Some of the best were
- Roger Explosion: Secret Agent
- Milo Kerrigan the boxer
- David McGahn’s World (David Attenborough style spoof with ‘Goat-like creatures’)
Many of these started when he was on a sketch comedy show called ‘Full Frontal’ and continued on his own ‘The Micallef Pogram’.
cat cat cat cat cat cat cat caaaaaaaat!
Roger Explosion was great
This bloke was a lawyer in Adelaide before his missus sent in a tape of him!!
Imagine being represented by Shaun eh!?
Very intelligent man.
Watch Clark and Dawe. Much better.
Loved the show. Watched it get shutdown live after he swore and was like fuck, you can't say fuck on live tv. Getting guest bands to add silly words into their songs like Lamington. I didn't think there was that many episodes. It was pretty short lived or was this a different show? Him as Milo and Fabio on Full frontal (F.F) was the best though. Muh fren used to do the best impression back in high school.
I recommend "Shaun Micallef's Acceptance Speech - Logies 2010" which is available on RUclips. Genuis idea.
Love Shaun!Brilliant.I really miss my weekly dose of ‘Mad as Hell’.Fantastic political satire.
Newstopia is another one of his shows .
Try his sketch "Spiffington Manse" which is a sort of spoof of Jane Austen TV adaptations
M hat M coat was a comedian that did impersonations. Always over the top and not everyone's cup of tea. Greg Ritchie is his real name, a former Australian cricketer also.
Shaun mcallaf comedy is always very meta and complex. Very high brow comedy. He's so smart.
Your pronunciation of the Scotttish name Micallef is fascinating 🤔
Not Scottish. Maltese.
@@kenbehren6119 I did not know that, thank you 😊 you really do learn something new everyday
I just love the bloke's origin story -as- a comedian.
He was an attorney, who kept talking at home about how he wanted to be a stand-up comedian.
His wife, tired of hearing about it, circled a date on the calendar and said "do it by this date or not at all".
And he did -- and we have one of our greatest satirists and comedians.
I'm amazed Shaun Micallef didn't seriously hurt himself in those rotating sets. He kept on pretending nothing was going on, very good comedian..
At 5:17 don't you mean "I did nae know"? Oh sorry.... maybe that's racist LOL no, see, because we Aussies and Scot's actually ENJOY having the piss taken and it's even seen as endearing.
Years ago, I got audience tickets to see 'Mad as Hell' filmed. It was incredible watching Shaun, but also, Francis Greenslade (who has worked with him for a very long time) and the other regular cast members. They are just so sharp and quick-witted.
Specific sketch recommendation: Micallef Program, Season 2 - "English Have A Go."
Hi. The joke "Take Ma Hat Ma Coat" is a play on "Mahatma Gandhi", ie. Take Mahatma Coat. Simple childish Aussie humour. Shaun Micallef is a comedic genius! Full Disclosure - I am Aussie, lol.
He's a lawyer and extremely tall. As quick as they come.
Turns out Shaun's father was an Australian immigrant from Malta. I suppose there aren't many stereotypes about the Maltese, however Malta has a tiny gene pool like Iceland. Just saying. I mean you could make a joke like, how did the Maltese man cross the road? With his third paw.
Mahatma Coat was a comedic character on “the footy show” in Australia, funny az - another great one was the radio character of Uncle Doug Mulray’s on MMM he called “Guru Swamy Bugger the rest of you I’m alright thanks Jack G.” And gave terrible life advice, so terrible surely every listener would get the joke….geez I hope no one followed that advice lmao ! 🤣
Milo Kerrigan!!!
More of his fake interview topics / skits are:
The Aussie Female tennis player
The Blind Guy who Climbed Mt Everest
Zempf Foods
The Feminist
Dude please PLEASE check out and react to Roger Explosion. It’s a sketch series he did in a show called Full Frontal.
What makes Micallef so great is that he's as good at over-the-top visual and physical comedy as he is at subtle and/or deadpan satire and witty wordplay. He can find the absurd in the sophisticated and the sophisticated in the absurd.
I would be interested to have a time-stamp on this Micalleff sketch. He has slid in W*oke along with the ABC, and ceased to be funny about 5 years ago. He has excellent delivery and phrasing, and is naturally funny, but "Mad As Hell" has turned to ....
I’m an immigrant for since 1984 but but we are overdosing with stupid multiculturalism.
Immigration is very very bad because of Housing, and that is nonfault of the immigrant, it is the fault of policymakers.
Not wanting to be racist, but I cannae understand yur accent! LOLZ 🤣 And by the way, our well-loved Sean's surname is MiCALlef, with the stress on the second syllable. 😉
Check out Newstopia. Some amazing writing. I remember the large hadron collider being hilarious.
Hete's my comments about racism, or maybe a few questions. Are racism , and even sexism, mostly one--way? If say, a brown skin Indian makes a funny remark about my Australian accent or jumps like a kangaroo, are they being racist, to me? Or give me a 2- headed Tasmanian joke. Or a convict joke. J
Are they being racist to me - or is it racism only when fair skinned European type people do it to those who aren't? And, with sexism...I'm a woman. If I say, there goes a gorgeous blonde with sexy long legs, I'll be referring to a man. Probably no one will bat an eyelid and the man will probably be flattered. But, if I were a man and he said the same thing in reference to a woman, he might be hoibded down and told he's objectifying women , and sexist, and inappropriate, and maybe even toxic abd abusive. My question...Why is it different if I say it to a man? Why is it different? Only one way traffic?
Myhatnmycoat or my hat and my coat was a comic on "the footy show" in the 1990's
Australia definitely has racism but another driver of immigration policy is the influence of the property industry on politics. Swinburne uni did a good piece on this called ‘The growth lobby and Australia's immigration policy’ by Betts and Gilding.
Mate, Check out Shaun's character Milo Kerrigan. In my top 3 favourite characters along with Borat and Sir Les Patterson.
Mahatma Cote was a Punjabi Sikh character played by former Australia cricketer Greg Ritchie, the name is obviously a play on the words "my hat, my coat". The character was undeniably racist in nature, you would be absolutely pilloried for attempting anything similar in pretty much any western country today, but at the time it was pretty standard racial humour on Australian television.
And you really need to understand the context behind this sketch to know what Micallef was going for, and how it was perceived by the people who watched it contemporaneously. When this was aired, Australia was in the grip of a massive racist backlash against Asian immigrants and aboriginal people exemplified by the emergence of Pauline Hanson, a fish and chip shop owner from Queensland who had recently been elected to the Australian Senate.
She was incredibly divisive and made a series of objectively racist statements in Parliament and in various interviews, and there was a big national debate about what her membership in the Senate implied about the Australian people and our attitudes toward race.
The news media spent hours alternating between attacking Hanson on current affairs programs, accusing her of making racist statements (which she absolutely did) and condemning her, while at the same time promulgating the exact same racist stereotypes about Aboriginal gangs and Asian drug dealers that she was parroting on the campaign trail and in the Senate. They would wring their hands and ask themselves "why are Australians so racist, what is the source of all this racial animosity" while absolutely refusing to look at themselves in the mirror.
The media were utterly complicit in the creation of Pauline Hanson, they were the source of her bigoted views in every conceivable way, and yet when they were confronted with the reality of what their atrocious "journalism" had created they tried to wash their hands of the responsibility and pretend she was just an aberration, rather than a direct product of their reporting.
Micallef is simultaneously making fun of Hanson while also pointing the finger at the news media. As a character representing the media, he's "both siding" an issue that has a clear winning side, he's making racist statements and then attacking the racist guy for making those exact same statements. He's showing us the inherent hypocrisy of the media when it comes to issues like these, on the one hand decrying the problems of the day and blaming individuals for what they believe, while on the other hand being the key driver for those problematic sentiments and creating the toxic environment they're complaining about. It's masterful, and Micallef is one of the greatest comedians Australia has ever had.
Ah yes, good old Shaun Micallef.
He's smart but behind the smart comedy and writing he just likes to be silly and play with words. He's a great diffusor of seriousness and tension.
I like jokes that laugh at everybody. This one laughs at the racist guy, the woman who found the guy to be racist, and also Shaun’s character doing an impression of a Japanese guy, doing an impression of a kangaroo
You simply MUST check out his shits with his Milo Kerrigan character! A bogan boxer.
Micallef is a fkn GENIUS. Too bad he's Maltese though...
Check out some of Shaun Micallef's Milo Kerrigan sketchs. They were some of his funniest work.
I m Australian and never heard of him
This is great but, IMHO… Milo Kerrigan is probably Shaun’s best work. Check it out.
Good satire, he wasn't offended by the Japanese man taking the piss but she was...and she wasn't even there. Typical of today's woke lot. At least he made me laugh about it...😂
Want to see some reversed racist humour which shows mutual respect, there’s an 8 episode of about 7 minutes each, it’s brilliantly funny, “how to speak Australian’s”
Mahatma Coat (no sure of the spelling) was comical Indian character (played by a white guy) on The Footy Show in the 90s
this isn’t a great sketch, please watch some of the work of the wonderful late John Clarke. Originally from NZ, a true mastermind of political satire.
So many British and American reaction RUclipsrs seem to have hit upon the rich and lucrative vein that is the Australian cultural cringe. We LOVE hearing someone who isn’t Australian validating our desire for Australian things to be good.
Well keep watching more reactions if you continue wuth Shaun. We loved him years ago. Nice to go back to this stuff and have a laugh. Our culture!
Australia is a capital L Liberal - conservative dichotomy, except that the liberal party here are conservative. Confusing.
Fun fact, Shaun is a corporate lawyer!
You need to see his characters Roger Explosion (spy spoof), and Milo Kerrigan (ex-boxer media personality)
SM has become ridiculously leftish with his so called humour and with regard to immigration issues the labor govt has recently allowed 100000 immigrants into the country in one month alone. There is no housing to accommodate these people and with resultant pressure on rents increasing as a direct result, now everyday, good Australian citizens are being forced out of housing and now living on the streets...this is no laughing matter! but dare not criticise immigration...that would be racist according to SM
Mahatma Coat was a character created by a former test cricketer, who would appear in blackface as an Indian. The name is a play on Indian names. The idea of having Indian names that were actually based on English originated with a comedian in the eighties. In Australia the system of voting for our upper house has allowed a number of minority parties to be elected, some of these with racist policies.
Aussie TV is definitely not like this anymore unfortunately.. however most aussies do agree with this style
Also Mahatma Coat was a character by an Aussie comedian stereotyping an Indian haha
as an asian, we are bad drivers, we do see through rather narrow apertures, especially when we're smiling or laughing. but all true and hilarious. mahat my-coat is an indian character done by a former cricket player. greg richie?. hilarious character. he had a weekly segmant on a football show in australia in the 90s. hilarious stuff.
U simply MUST check out his skits with the character Milo Kerrigan, the bogan boxer
Why hasn't anyone mentioned the name of the show properly "The Micallef P(r)ogram(me)"
The funniest part of this is we were talking about immigration levels back then.
Who’s laughing now.
The fatagram sketch where he comes in As Jesus singing a country song or the dick smith biscuit bit are classics.
Also the No friends sketch is hilarious
Best Australian comedy show.
He is brilliant and this piece reminds me (these days in 2024) of Pierse Morgan and his choice of guests and interactions with them.
Check out - Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell tv programme from abc
Also have one more show to recommend to you- 'Lano and Woodley.' (Colin Lane and Frank Woodley)
Look up the comedy company classic stuff from the 90's when I was a teen good old kon the fruiterer
You’ve got very good taste in comedy mate
Watch "Thank God You're Here" He commonly on it but that show is gold!
In a similar vein to this sketch is his attempt to interview a feminist author in this same show/format. If you liked this, it's a must-watch.

Sean McAuliffe is one of the most intelligent and least racist comedians in Australia. Perhaps you need to watch more than one or two performances to work that out.
Love Shaun Micallef, but he has stopped doing what we love. Making us laugh.
Micallef cockburn sketch makes me laugh every time
Mahat Mahcoate was an old Indian character skit from the NRL footy show year's age.
Maybe next time you could maximize the skit you are playing and minimize your head.
Mahat Macoat was a character on the awesome NRL footy show. Then everything was banned.
Golly. I think ye might beecomin Australian .
Mahattma Coat was an Australian cricketer that used to dress up as an Indian and have a segment on The Footy Show
my hat my coat is a cricket character Australian test cricketer Greg Ritchie performed : Mahatma Cote
Micallef needs to be the new host of the daily show
