I was Living in Taupo in the Mid 70's , My then Daughter , absolutely loved your add, ( the one with the Bythenzol Paste Gun , she could mimic you to a Tee ) Vale John Clarke , You will be surely Missed, --- Vale RIP.
I was a Fred Dagg fan before he became Fred Dagg! John Clarke started his comedy career in local TV comedy sitcom called "Buck House" and even then quickly became a household favourite ; his catchphrase was "That'll be the door" whenever someone knocked. oh well, you had to be there, i guess!
For what we are about to receive, we must remember to thank the ol' Sheila... I'm thinking of going into town today so I want the number plate taking off the tractor and putting on the Land Rover..... my god he was good wasn't he? There'll never be another John Clarke!
Good ol' NZ. Well have to say that his humour was far closer to the truth than some people would like to admit. I worked on 2 dairy farms as a teenager and there was no humour and the scenery was much as you see here. Depressing.
Absolutely Priceless!! Echoes of Monty Python. Mocking everyone, esp himself…the days when people understood that thoughtful, clever humor is about commiserating around shared foibles/flaws, not about creating victims. II miss my years in NZ 87 & 91, the farmer/sheep conspiracies, the over-confident & Wild West attitudes of ski/raft/jump/ locals, the depression-era culture there(fix things!), and Michelle!
I recall hearing from a Kiwi friend of mine that the city-dwellers in New Zealand took this episode of Country Calendar seriously, probably because it was (and still is) usually a serious programme showcasing various farms around the country.
I only just spotted the "Mount Crawford office" 🤣 For context it was a prison in Wellington City. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prisons_in_New_Zealand#Wellington_Prison
I wonder why there are never any opening or closing credits on these old NZ shows? Were they super-imposed only during the actual broadcast? That might make sense ... they only really seemed to use film over videotape
When New Zealand English was charming. Men were blokes or jokers; seldom "guys". Refreshingly free of cringeworthy American slang such as "awesome" or "absolutely". Intonation free of uptalk. Wonderfully dry delivery. Those were the days.
The days of comedy. Where you could speak your mind, laugh at yourself and laugh at others. Nowadays here in communist NZ, speaking your mind and laughing at others can get you arrested.
@@keza41 You have no argument. Your racist comment is as basic as a fleeing squid who squirts ink because you cannot stand up and debate. When you have no political argument, you are defeated. I rest my case.
Peopled Diagram argument? I don’t dont need an argument to call out your bullshit statement for what it is. Give me a link to a story where someone got arrested for........ laughing at others. You made the claim, prove it.
such a shame New Zealand has become woke and pc over the past 6yrs - pleased that John Clarke is not here to see how stupid we have become and how we have lost our sense of humor
"Trevor here, he's the first born, and he's the eldest, as a result of that"! Minister for the bleedin' obvious....
LOVE IT
The good old days of Country Calendar on a Sunday you didn't dare miss and amazing the number of people who thought it was kosher, brilliant stuff!!
I saw this in my early teens and was gobsmacked. Couldn't make head nor tails of it.

Rewooling the sheep....a brilliant bit of original comedy. Thank you, Mr Clarke, for all of your work.
RIP John Clarke, your genius will be missed.
I have the most fond memories of John playing Fred Dagg i saw all of his movies, they were good times.........
Classic Kiwi,,,a sense of humour,never beaten..1 of our best ,im a Kiwi .good on ya Trev .
I was Living in Taupo in the Mid 70's , My then Daughter , absolutely loved your add, ( the one with the Bythenzol Paste Gun , she could mimic you to a Tee )
Vale John Clarke , You will be surely Missed, --- Vale RIP.
Good to see Fred and Trev and Trev and Trev and Trev and Trev and Trev again. The only one missing is Bruce Bayliss.
Thank you for many years of sensational satire and comedy. Even today I still use daggisms in every day speech. Sorely missed.
I was a Fred Dagg fan before he became Fred Dagg! John Clarke started his comedy career in local TV comedy sitcom called "Buck House" and even then quickly became a household favourite ; his catchphrase was "That'll be the door" whenever someone knocked. oh well, you had to be there, i guess!
Things I miss: Fred Dagg, steel shower trays, shower taps and shower curtains, glass milk bottles, and bloody good blokes ❤️ 😭
yep, those steel shower curtains were damn indestructable.
@@racketman2u commas and common sense help.
' The VW Commas engine was very slow. ' But they couldve fit plenty of Trevs if they had the seats removed.
For what we are about to receive, we must remember to thank the ol' Sheila... I'm thinking of going into town today so I want the number plate taking off the tractor and putting on the Land Rover..... my god he was good wasn't he? There'll never be another John Clarke!
Thank you John for all the memories. RIP
That was full of wholesome goodness.
Milk in glass bottles, loaves of bread and butter bring back a lot memories.
Fred was shaking the milk because of the cream on the top. Remember doing that.
Who's going to tell Trev? RIP John Clarke
gijoel which one?lol but yes r.i.p john clarke
My nan went to school with Fred Dagg in upper hutt
Yeah gidday
Brilliant comedian and could see clear through any politician and see the truth
Where is this New Zealand now in the past....remember him as a kid...he was so funny...miss this humor very much
I did my speech about him he’s my hero and I love him
without doubt the very best comedy... just brilliant
Rest in Peace in your gumboots Mr Fred Dagg!!!
R.I.P. John Clarke.
Now where else in the world do you see things like this .except the good old New Zealand .
Good ol' NZ. Well have to say that his humour was far closer to the truth than some people would like to admit. I worked on 2 dairy farms as a teenager and there was no humour and the scenery was much as you see here. Depressing.
R.I.P FRED
OMG, I remember this when it was first on - just a kid at the time. Pretty funny!
Thanks for uploading this - I missed it on the TV tribute the other day.....

"for what we're about to receive we must remember to thank the old sheila" :D
John Clarke was a funny bugger: there's even a joke in there about a rotary milking set-up and homogenised milk.
It's ingenious. The milk is homogenized before exiting the cow, in fact.
Gone too soon :( RIP
I recall hearing from a Kiwi friend of mine that the city-dwellers in New Zealand took this episode of Country Calendar seriously, probably because it was (and still is) usually a serious programme showcasing various farms around the country.
New Zealand is a small country population wise, so most of us have some knowledge of farming life!
I only just spotted the "Mount Crawford office" 🤣 For context it was a prison in Wellington City. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prisons_in_New_Zealand#Wellington_Prison
Pure gold classic 70's NZ humour
kick it in the guts trev! r.i.p fred dag!
Where are all the Trev's now? Did the smallest one grow up?
The original reality show down on the farm real gritty lifestyle
Brilliant, Mr Clarke is still going strong!
Bob Jones yeah... ahh... not so much anymore
Love this. My hero
15:37 reminds me of Leigh Harts speed cooking "that's no good to me"
wow. farm life in new zealand is amazing
Come back soon John ( Fred ) !
Wonderful
Kiwi icon.. RIP
by God, may the spirit of Fred Dagg re-assert itself in this culturally lost and confused country
The days when parking meter s accepted personal Cheques ! LoL :)
wonderful satire and parody RIP John
talk about laugh, Trev...
Fred Dagg
Go Fred Dagg!! >_
Bring back Fred Dagg and FIX what is wrong with NZ!!
2:13 :') gotta interrupt that smoking lol
Gold. RIP

There's not a lot of return on hamsters on the open market
New Zealand, the way we were and should be. A sense of humour
That’s right farming is a science.
Brilliant

Good ol FRED
Anyone know what town?
It’s Wellington
@@Trekkie626 the famous Stewart Dawson's corner gives it away
Must have been after "Margot the Fitter" & "Cloud of Wayne" as She wasn't dry then her spine.
What a crack up 😁
Way better than Monty Python.
Eating breakfast and smoking a cigarette at the same time. Funny as F&*K trev
Comic Genius. If you can’t laugh at him see a doctor

I didn't know 'absolutely' was something Americans say a lot. haha. We do say it, though.
C Phillips 'Absolutely' is popular with the UK middle classes. It's their equivalent to 'awesome'.
C Phillips how about abso-bloody-lutely
Busted a plugger.
Smashing!!
Why you all saying RIP for? John Clarke didn't die lol
Died: 9 April 2017, WTF He's Dead? I'd say since when but damn...
April 9 2017. Almost 2 years ago now.
@@Blockah PFFFFF
This is the New Zealand I remember...not the one we have today and not that Aotea shit
Awww shit he's dead. Vale John Clarke
When NZ was NZ, not like all the bollocks n PC rubbish we have today.

A very unfunny man. John Clarke just thought he was funny.
Yeah, him and a whole lot of other people. Mind you, we're easy to please.
