    The fact ridiculously silly and hilarious stuff like this isn't considered suitable for 'mainstream' TV in Australia is exactly why 'mainstream' TV is dying and Netflix is growing

    • @DipseyDex
      @DipseyDex 3 года назад +16

      It probably has something to do with the fact that most people who still watch mainstream TV are over the age of 30 and execs that decide what shows get used are based on that demographic and what they think they'll like. Which unfortunately means silly shit like aunty donna don't get a real chance. Except possibly 7mate.

      Free-to-air TV in Australia is a fucking embarrassment. One of the top Reddit posts on r/australia recently was some dude in Belgium who got Australian TV over there late at night was asking why our TV is so shit. Imagine being Belgian and trying to wrap your head around the trainwreck that is Scotty Cam and The Block crew.

    That bit with the swords was excellent. The joke just kept going and it escalated, and then the "Kill me. I want to die" was perfect. And the reference to "The Wolverine" was perfect, because it is a reference to a movie no one cares or talks about anymore, but it made the joke better for people that got it, and it was genuine. The perfect example of what you were talking about.

    Some of my fave all-time, hilariously weird AF skits from back in the day (that I still recite on the reg,word for word)
    - Thats what keeps me going, I swear!
    I even spoke to Dave Foley from Kids once, and told him that, and he actually thanked _ME!_
    Like, are you serious! LOL
    I had to tell him, _"No, no, no, Thank you!"_
    It was almost like I actually got to do a bit with him! ("Thank you!" "No no no, thank you! LOL)
    AHAHAHA I LOVE IT!
    But something I've learned along the way, in this crazy, weird depressing world, is that you gotta laugh, so you don't cry. Keep on laughing, thats my mantra.
    But anyway, I hope you guys do well, and bring on more seasons!
