- Reaction To Fast Forward - Sale of the Century (Australian Comedy)
This is my reaction to Fast Forward - Sale of the Century
In this video I react to Australian comedy from Australian television comedy sketch show Fast Forward and their parody comedy sketch of the Australian television show Sale of the Century.
Original Video - • Fast Forward | Sale of...
Joh Bjelke-Pumpkin-Scone 😂 As corrupt as a Pollie gets. Great take on him.
Sale of the century, Fast forward and Full frontal was a time when most of us only had 1 tv and about 5 channels and families would sit and laugh together. Good times👍
And you had to get up from the lounge to change the channel!
I back that up. I had 4 Channels. 7, 9, 10 and ABC. We sat together as a family and watched the comedy shows and had a laugh. Aussie culture in the late 80 and 90s was awesome- funny, carefree and cheeky yet somewhat wholesome and family friendly. Everybody at school knew about Eric Banner’s ‘Pwoiter’ character from Full Frontal do the other kids were watching with their parents too.
And people had a sense of humour. Not allowed now. Everyone's a victim.😏
The original was almost mandatory viewing when I was kid. It was hosted by a bloke called Tony Barber then later on by a bloke called Glenn Ridge. The female co-hosts were Alyce Platt, Delvine Delany and probable some others I can't remember. They're taking the piss out of Jana Wendt who was a hard hitting journalist in the day and Joh Bjelke-Petersen a Queensland politician who spoke in word salads and was about as straight as a dogs hind leg.
Joh was Queensland Premier for years and he did try and run for PM in around 1987. He was famous for saying "errrr don't you worry about that" which was parodied for years.

He was the longest serving premier of Queensland and his wife Flo, had a penchant for pumpkin scones. Joh was corrupt as they come.
He was also the Premier of QLD.
Joh also came from Kingaroy and apparently was a peanut farmer. My wife’s familh also came from that part of the world and tended to get a little upset when us outlaws were taking the “p15s” out of Joh and his vocabulary……. “Up a dry gum tree, you southerners don’t know”……. Also his wife Flo and her pumpkin scones…..
The original of Sale was actually Great Temptation
YES. This was one of my favourite Fast Forward sketches. Gerry Connelly was a brilliant satirical impersonator and absolutely nailed Joh Bjelke-Petersen, one of the more corrupt windbags/brownbags to enter a parliament building. Jana Wendt's interview with him was the stuff of legends, as was this and another Fast Forward sketch parodying that interview.
Fast forward were on point with their impersonations great memories 💜🇦🇺
Parody’s of real people that’s why this is so funny
Sale of the Century was iconic. My Grandad who was a farmer, would always have to be home by 7pm to watch Sale of the Century.
When Tony Barber asked the question starting "Who am I?" my kids would yell "Tony Barber!" 😅
Joh Bjelke-Petersen was the Queensland premier and is played by a great Australian comedian, Gerry Connolly. Loved Fast Forward. A great sketch show.
Best sketch shows from 80’s are: ‘Comedy Company’, ‘Full Frontal’, and from the 90’s are: ‘Comedy Inc’, ‘The Sketch Show’, and ‘Skithouse’.
The 'contestant 'with the hat comedian Gerry Connoly doing a parody of SirJoh Bjeilke-Petersen, famous/infamous Queensland premier in the 70s and 80s. His govt was corrupt as all get-out, and it was a delight to vote them out in 1989 😊 Fast Forward was pretty much essential viewing in the late 80s-early 90s. My favourite characters were Lynn Postlethwaite, Bob & Cheryl Ugly, and Michelle & Ferret. Classic pisstaking Aussie humour.
Jana Wendt was an interviewer on Sixty Minutes and later on A Current Affair. Excellent parody of her. Tony Barber used to do a little run onto the set of Sale of the Century. Elise Platt was a real sidekick on the show. All these sendups are good. Others have told about Sir Joe.
Jana Wendt was a TV Presenter & News Journalist. Her family immigrated to Australia from war torn Yugoslavia (Czechia) in the 40's or 50's. She was born in Melbourne. She changed the face of News Journalism. Once she was the most recognisable voice & face in Australia. An Absolute Aussie ICON!!! She is an award winning Journalist & Author.
As an interviewer she was given the nickname of the perfumed steamroller.
@@krispaton8670 Thanks for the reply. I totally forgot about her nickname. As soon as I saw her, I remembered her interview with Sir Joh. I still can hear her voice. I'm showing my age now.
That was an accurate skit, it totally summed up the cast of Sale of the Century.
There was a parody of Family Feud also, with Sir Joh and the Manson family. 😅
Sale of the Century was probably the biggest TV game show in Australia.
1980 - 2001
Magda Szubanski and Jane Turner in Brides of Satan clip, they find it hard not to crack up whilst doing the skit.
Before Sale of the Century it was called Great Temptation. Tony Barber was the host. Jana Wendt was actually a very good journalist and now lives a very quiet life
Whatever happened to Jana . haven't seen her for 30+ years she's was great
The comedian portraying Sir Joh was Gerry Connolly who gave an uncannily accurate parody of Joh's rambling mixed metaphors. The comedian portraying Jana Wendt was Marg Downey who gave us this eerily accurate representation of Jana. You'd almost think it was her. And of course, the barrel girl was Jane Turner from Kath and Kim.
Sir Joh Bjelke Peterson was the Premier of Queensland for many years
And soooo corrupt!
Yes, that was definitely a great parody of Joe! Ruthless brain, but played a bumbler! 😒
Great parody of Joe, a ruthless bumbler!
Even Prime Ministers were shit scared of him.
And he stayed that way with a huge gerrymander. Nothing on modern US electoral boundaries, but outrageous to us in Oz.
Fast Forward was so on the money!
Utterly and totally spot on and brilliantly hilarious…… ⚛️☮️🌏
i was on SATC as a contestant back in the early 90s. This was hilarious!
Hilarious then and now. Joh was actually Queenslands Premier and a peanut farmer. Jana Wendt was famous for her interviews on 60 Minutes. Bettina was um lucky to be included. 😁. It’s worth watching a few minutes of the real people represented to understand how funny they really are.
Jana Wendt was a reporter/Journalist, and Sir Joh Bjelke Petersen was premier of Queesnsland.
My memory fails me but what was that comedy skit from the ABC where the crew took off Osama Bin laden riding in the Canadian Prime Ministers motorcade. Was it the G7 conference in Sydney and the extreme measures taken to protect George W ? It created a huge backlash against the ABC from the NSW cops but for us the audience it was an epic moment in satirical comedy. A must watch mate absolutely side splitting stuff.
The Chasers War on Everything. Yep its a classic bit.
Yep that was Chaser and was epically funny 😂
That was the best comedy in Aussie history. The Chasers war on everything show. And there was a big list of really good comedians and shows they beat
Watched it all the time. This was spot on.
The bloke who played Sir Joh appeared as The Queen on Britain's Got Talent in 2019.
Thank you I needed some light comedy relief.
You need to watch more Fast Forward. Excellent comedy. 😂
Scary how close Gerry was to Joh "Rotten to the Core" Bjelke-Petersen. And she nailed Jana Wendt too.
Yeah that sort of sums them up. 😂
Another great comedian is Gabriel Willie, aka Bush Tucker Bunjie, he is an indigenous Australian who hasn’t received the recognition he deserves. You might want to check out “Parents & Homework” “Psycho Parents” & ABC Black Comedy “Bondi Blackfella” episodes. I share your love of Australian humour, especially Superwog, Carol Barron, Roy and HG, there are so many more. Thank you for the content you post, I really love your channel & appreciate the work you put into it 💞💕
If you watch the actual interview: ACA - Jana Wendt and Premier Joh Bjelke Peterson 1989 and then: Fast Forward - Jana Wendt & Sir Joh, you will understand more
SIr Joe Patterson was a Queensland politician, Yana Vent (spelt wrong) was a current affairs show host, The 3rd contestant is supposed to be Bettina Aunt (unsure of surname spelling nut sounded like that) can't remember what her show was about. Tony Barber the host was a household name back in the 70's and 80's and Sale of the Century gave away fantastic prizes worth a lot of money back in the day and there was always a new Mercedes they could win if they did well enough and huge amounts of cash. Tony also did release some records back in the 70's.
Hahah i dont remember the host Tony Barber being on crack but after watching this parody; im pretty sure Fast Forward knew something I didnt 😅
Great sketches from SOTC with Tony Barber...who came from England .... Oldham I think ...he did all this running about as he ca e on at the start of the show.....Joh was Premier of Queensland for many years....& ruled it almost the same as South Africa was ruled under apartheid...& Jana Wendt was a prominent interviewer on current affairs shows....This was very funny for that era.
Love how they had Sir Joh keep referring to it as the Great Temptation. This was basically an earlier version of Sale of the Century that ran during the early 70s but on a different network. Referring to shows from different channels was sort of taboo back then. Still is I suppose.
Joh Bejelke-Peterson was Premier of Queensland for many, many years. Jana Vendt was a high profile TV journalist. Who the other lady was I don’t know.
Joh used to refer to press conferences as "feeding the chooks". As the state member for Kingaroy and Premier of Queensland he was hugely polarising - hated by the left and loved by the right. Unashamedly pro-development and anti-unionist he is derided as a corrupt buffoon, yet the state of Queensland prospered massively under his reign. Jana Wendt on the other hand was the pre-eminent female journalist of her era - her mellow, monotone presentation style was often mimicked but not her journalistic integrity or ability - this lady smashed the glass ceiling when it came to women in journalism.
Queensland died when Sir Jo pulled out.
I loved her. Then she seemed to disappear from our screens. Did she get cancelled by the networks or something? Does anyone know?
Joh was a peanut farmer / politician / dictator, Premier of Queensland . The high light of his dictatorship was power shortages, Striking workers, an out of control Police minister , a ban on street marching or protesting would get you arrested!!! and the sale of Queensland to foreign investors. To some him up he was the Nation party leader, and Socialist at heart.
Fast Forward was best when they did parodies of 60s shows - Star Trek, Bewitched,, Lost in Space etc - hilarious.
Excellent parody of real people who were at the centre of our viewing back in the day. Jana was known for her quiet remote and highly intelligent persona. Joe was known for pointless wordiness and his completely dopey befuddlement. The host and hostess personae are spot on. Good Times.

Great parody. Joh Bjelke Peterson was a [questionable!] 'great' politician, who was the Premier of Queensland Australia from 1968 to 1987. He was well known for never answering any question put to him, but just talked a bit of nonsense, and would say all the time "Don't you worry about all that"; meaning, I think, for everyone to just shut up and let him get along with doing his job without questioning him at all. Those years happened to be a time of quite good economic growth for Qld- don't know if we can put all or any of the congratulations for that on his head. The other characters - host Tony Barber was a well known game show host back them, and was a little exuberant, as portrayed. Jana Wendt was a famous reporter who appeared on lots of current political news shows, known for never appearing at all flustered by anything, very smart woman who knew her stuff. Thats my view anyway!
If I am remembering it correctly the first contestant is a member of the audience.
Yay 🎉 finally fast forward ❤ it was very accurate, the Russian news cast segments were always so funny
Try to find Fast Forward: Bob and Cheryl Ugly. Jana interviewing them. I think you will like it. 😉
Yes. Hahaha. Hahaha. HaHAHAha. HaHAHAHAHA!!!
Yes I've seen it it was on channel 9 and now it's not on any more it was a 1980 quiz show called sale of the century
The Sir Joh character on this sketch was indeed exactly how he was in real life. Think Trump but making even less sense.
Trump with present day Biden's speech coherence.
Check out the fast forward parodies of Lost in Space, Hogan's Heroes, Beverly Hillbillies and Batman among others. And the Rubbery Figures of various famous people were absolutely hilarious.
Parody also of
Joe Bjelke Peterson
Ex Queensland Premier.
Pretty good parody. Lol
My Mum went on the show, waited for years. Sir Johannes Bjelke-Petersen just known as ‘Jo’ was a Christian nut job conservative QLD premier who, just like Bob Katter (a current MP up in my nick of the woods, Cairns), he’d do some good things for Qld and some really stupid things. I remember in the 90’s I was in high school and condom vending machines were well established post Aids campaigns. Jo had them banned for a period..
Jana Bohumila Wendt (pronounced Yana Vent in Ausie), is actually a relative of mine. She’s a famous journalist and reporter for some of us. She was well known on tv from 1982 to 2006 and oddly hot, many of us at school would comment on how disturbingly sexy she was but you couldn’t put your finger on it. So many parodies of her because of her dry expressionless emotionless style of interviewing.
This was funny at the time but honestly when Aussies recommend stuff for your channel it’s not always timeless.
This skit was not really at all. Jo was only really well known to Qlders my Dad’s age and Jana wasn’t funny. As for the host
Australian TV host
Anthony Ferraro Louis Barber (aka Tony Barber) he wasn’t that hyped up I thought his rendition was over the top although yes he put out about 10 Albums, the best made it to 39th in the charts in 92.
Oh boy, you're digging down into your older demographic with this one. I was just a kid and I don't remember the game show well enough to get the parody. Jana Wendt I remember well; she was on TV more-or-less daily hosting a current affairs program. Very prim and proper serious journalist and interviewer. Joh Bjelke-Petersen has some reputation as a lunatic politician who held office over the State of Queensland for decades, but I only ever really learned about him decades later. Party-room drama and political controversy surrounded him always, and maybe there was some suggestion he was gaming the electoral system to stay in power as long as he did? But I'm not well-informed.
Pixie Anne Wheatly is a great character... and Janelles House of Beauty. You should search some of the vids. Hilarious.
Mate, love your reactions, however please don't make the picture in picture screen extra wide, it is really hard to watch.
Jana Wendt - "The Velvet Steamroller"
So familiar hahahaha
Real people.
Anything with Magda Szubanski or Jane Turner was funny to me but my favourite character was Lynne Postlethwaite.
Just found Mert Can! You've been hiding your light.
Man all the 80's was 6pm News , 630pm Current Affairs which had hard hitting political reviews and interviews with Jana Wendt (Yan-a Vent) then 7pm Sale of the Century with Tony Barber. It had 4 different Hostesses and 2 hosts over the decade . Joh was like Trump from Queensland. Very Dodgy premier
parodies YES of real people YES
Not sure if that was the real Sir Joe or not. Just how I remember him. ( Best dictator of Queensland ever )
They are/were real people 😆
The host, Tony Barber did dance around a bit.....
Joh was really like that, he was also a right wing authoritarian nutter. Jana was a famous Current Affairs journalist. The parody characterizations are pretty spot on.
Classic take on the Premier of Qld at the time (a corrupt right-wing National Party politican) who was able to hold onto government by a massive gerrymander. His party rarely got more than 20% of the popular vote but somehow managed to get the majority of seats every election. This went on for decades. His downfall happened mid 1980s when the Fitzgerald inquiry into state corruption revealed Jo Bjelke Petersen to be heavily involved and apparently received regular donations (brown paper bags full of cash) from his developer mates etc. Unbelievable but true!
All parodies.
But very acurate
Sir Jo Petersen was the most corrupt Pollie we ever had. Thing is he just did it out in the open, he didnt give a F. He made the worst South American despots look like beginners.
Parodies 😅😅
Check out the parody of Kung Fu, the 70s American TV show. Funniest Fast Forwrd exer
He was the Australian Biden.
More like the Aussie Donald Trump for his corruption was Joh..
Ah great reminder & sendup of Joe Bonkers Banana's, the long term premier of Queensland, he should have been a long term prisoner instead.
Look up Sean mcauliffe
You know, I know, we all know what's going on....
😂
Saie of The Century is not a parody its actully a real quiz game
This is a parody
This isn’t a parody of Sale of the Century to be honest. It’s a parody of the celebrities on it. Tony Barber was crazy flamboyant but if you don’t know people like Joh Bjelke-Petersen, Jana Wendt, Derren Hinch etc, it’s really not that funny. This is an odd recommendation, doesn’t work in isolation.
Yes, Tony Barber, the host, would come bouncing out. Obviously the skit was a gross exaggeration. The first person was an audience member. The second was a parody of Jana Wendt, who had a current affai show and was very self-contolled and carefully-spoken and quietly glamorous. The guy was supposed to be a former Premier of Queensland, Sir Joe Bjelke Petersen, who spoke exactly like that and was an appalling man. All the roads around his country property in the middle of nowere were beautifully-paved and cared for while most of the roads in Qld were terrible. He was a crook and far right wing. When he said the "great Temptation game", he was referring to the predecessor which had been sponsored by Coles supermarkets, and was called "Coles Great Temptation". About Joe - ruclips.net/video/yyzUaocj4_0/видео.html (only 2 minutes long) and this just shows very briefly the bounce in Tony Barber's step, and there are whole episodes on You Tube - ruclips.net/video/WLpnsjMivXM/видео.html (19 seconds)
Aussies making jokes about joe biden and not realising we were 40years ahead of our time
surely there is better Australian comedy
Joe Biden at his best.
Check out Full Frontal. Especially the episodes with Shaun Micallef and Eric Bana. thanks for this trip down memory lane!
