I use to love Hale and Pace, I can't believe I had forgotten about them until I saw this clip. So much good humour/comedy has gone in the world now, not like when we had, Dave allen, Frank spencer, Fawlty towers, Hale and pace, and so many other great comedy shows. Now it's all crap.
Born and bred in Perth.Now everytime I say 'Perth' ill want to do it with a retching demeanor with an equally sozzled look on my face.( i probably wont but itll be hard to resist) Cheers 🍺🍻🍷🍸🍹😂
Not what it used to be. You gotta get the pronouns right, gotta not upset the snowflakes and basically bend over and cop it from the indigenous. As for cricket, Id rather set fire to my ha9r than watch that astoundingly boring garbage.
Funniest thing is that he would fit right in at a true country Aussie pub 😂 nothing like a bit of drunken banter! We’d probably be more than happy to give it right back 😁
I remember waiting to cross a road in Melbourne and someone shouting at me "Fucking Pome!" Happy days. Felt so welcome. The only person I really got in woth was Maowri. She also knew Australians were just pretend Americans.
Who cares what she looks like now???? Back then she was stunning....!! Some stupid unnecessary remarks.... Sad fuckers....just enjoy the clip ffs n admire the bird u miserable sad wankers
Probably showing why British men in their 30s are complete dotards... we watched this when we were kids. In the comedians defence. It is the single finest open prison on earth. Shame the women are frigid.
Stopped for coffee once on the road between Cairns and Brisbane this was at 9 a.m. Did notice a few chaps drinking beer. Went inside and asked for coffee, the bartender looked at me and said 'we serve coffee after 11 a.m.'
I worked for Tooths/Resches, Fabulous job (until the F$@#ing greedy unions stuffed it) then CUB took over and believe me they do NOT make beer. I was there for 8 years as an electrical technician and my wife was the Senior Microbiologist. It is utter pigs urine. Once CUB took over they changed EVERYTHING. Basic brew with a ship load of chemicals put in it. Crown Lager is just Fosters in what we used to call the Hollywood Bottle. FACT. Great marketing idea though. Was the only way to get people to drink Fosters. Sucked in idiots. Melbourne Bitter is VB with a teaspoon of caramel in it to change the colour and VB has 37 chemicals in it. ANYTHING that comes from those cretins should be illegal to call it beer. Same as that bulls balls sweat Corona. OMG why do people drink that pus?@@MrSquigeon
@A smoking ChickenFish used to be a fair dinkum solid as down to earth laid back care free spirit about Australia - it was the lucky country - something to be both proud and envious of - things in general were cheap - beer was cheap, meat was cheap, consumer goods were cheap - less restrictions in general - now it's expensive, uptight, borderline edgy and unsure esp Victoria
Nah. Have you ever seen an Australian drink Fosters? It's a marketing cliche, but I never saw, or knew anyone to drink it. The sketch had zero cred when it started.
How unusual, a drunk pom making a fuckwit of himself in an Aussie pub. That hardly ever happens down here... (Gareth Hale and Mervin Hughes in the same clip... a good dose of nostalgia in this one! Cheers!)
Not so kind, i was walking down Elizabeth street 3 hours after arriving and got offered out 3 times in 5 minutes by 3 drunks. It was only 5 o'clock in the afternoon
Bwahhahaha, Mirv Hughes kissing him on the head, now there is one guy who knew how to drink, word has it he managed to pack away 4 slabs on the plane trip from aus to england one time, and still put in a good game of cricket :) And cheers for reminding me of my younger days with the Melbourne Bitter, haven't had one of those in a while... brb pub.
The best beers and lagers are from Tasmania , Boags or Cascade . Its the water ! Personally Carona , Fosters or Victoria Bitter tastes like dishwater and I wouldn't drink it if it were free . Best Aussie beer ever ; Cascade First Harvest . $90 a carton .
Every time there is a cut scene to the different cities, you can hear a gunshot. There are at least 3 Hale and Pace episodes that take the mick out of Australia and I’m wondering if this is another.
Hale and Pace were huge in Australia. I was a kid and absolutely loved this, Full Frontal/Fast Forward, and Married with Children.
Here here!!
Married with children was amazing. The uproar it would cause if released today would be hysterical.
Great comedy before the world went woke
All top notch
Holy trinity right there m8
"The outback it's dry, arid and baking hot... Which is why I'm here!" 🤣
Merv Hughes kiss on Garth was the best part of this skit lol
“Its one of the most luxurious open prisons i’ve ever seen” this one fucking killed me 😭
Very true as Australia is now like an open air prison with the dictatorship going on.
@@lepolhart3242 Oh yes!
After covid lockdowns it's now factual😂
Every Sunday before bed, as a kid I loved these two
This man played the best dunk ever
yeah and a good dRunk too
Nah, Dunk from 'Crocodile Dundee' was the best Dunk.
Look up Foster Brooks……he’s no1
The Spanish Hospitality and French Wines skits he did getting progressively drunk like this are also worth watching, they're just as amazing
Hale and Pace were so bloody funny. The bouncers... so good
Love the barmaid "nice jugs" 😂😂😂😂

Politically correct crap which is largely what is wrong with it.
Just got to know where to look. Ricky Gervais, Friendlyjordies etc
@@mrlozmoore quality comment from a fuckhead millennial
Its Shite now . Music, comedy, films, few good stand up like Anthony Jeselnik, Stewart lee. But most shite is crap
Loved this show, miss the good old days.
Born and bred in Perth.Now everytime I say 'Perth' ill want to do it with a retching demeanor with an equally sozzled look on my face.( i probably wont but itll be hard to resist)
Cheers 🍺🍻🍷🍸🍹😂
Love Gareth playing the drunk that barmaid gets around lol
Used to enjoy Hale and Pace, first time seeing this skit bloody funny and I'm an Aussie incase you wondered.
Used to? What is your comment even about mate
Fuckin Australia 🇦🇺
gday mate
Brisbane women are well stacked is true LOL
I wasn't wondering and no gives a shit
I thought this was my dad for a second ... He is this guy's twin and could have shown him around town 😂😂 🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺
"One of the most luxurious open prisons I have ever seen". I almost spat out my lunch-time XXXX here in Brisvegas.
fact, there used to be heaps of topless pubs in australia back in the days ,, i miss those days lol
My right ear enjoyed that!
One thing in this world is I love the Aussies and there sense of humour and especially the camaraderie with the cricket and rugby
“ Camaraderie “ ? Think that’s gone out the window, cricket especially...🤦♂️😂😂
Not what it used to be. You gotta get the pronouns right, gotta not upset the snowflakes and basically bend over and cop it from the indigenous. As for cricket, Id rather set fire to my ha9r than watch that astoundingly boring garbage.
The music cracks me up as well

But you wouldnt have a pretty bartender at an Aussie pub.
@@pflaffik City pub you 100% would, country pub it would be a roll of the dice.
He plays a great drunkard
Hysterical & Hilarious! I love that kiss of death at the end. Love from Toronto. 🥰
That was from Merv Hughes. One of our biggest cricketers
My right ear enjoyed this!
Hahahahaha!! 🤣 mine did too!!
HAAA! 😂👌
It just makes me wanna have a cold beer watching this
As a professional alcoholic who enjoys steel reserve, I'd say this fellow was actually getting a bit of a buzz while doing this skit, haha.
@Slimy Hotdog kudos
😂😂😂😂😂Thanks for the laughs, I had forgotten stuff like this...
I half expected him to gain an Aussie accent the more he was drinking 😂
christ that barmaid is fit
Her and I would get it on.
Chicks like her don't exist now. In her place are skinnier less toned and very tatted up slappers with more botox than your average plastic bag.
Some of those looks and smiles she gives him
Who cares what she looks like now????
Back then she was stunning....!!
Some stupid unnecessary remarks....
Sad fuckers....just enjoy the clip ffs n admire the bird u miserable sad wankers
Kimberly Davies....did a stint in Neighbours too.
Never knew Merv was such a fine actor. ...and why is Google recommending this in 2020?
Cultural 🤷♂️
You dare question the mighty algorithm?
@@willjelle7944 Indeed - I was wondering about that white van parked outside...

classic wish we still got shows like this now
Just gotta love these guys ....Bloody hilarious LMAO 🤣🤣🤣

Fun fact. Merv had drank twice as many beers as him that day.
Brilliant drunk acting by Gareth Hale.
I'm sure there was no acting required!!!
My right ear loved this
0:27 Fosters
0:41 Southwark Premium Lager
1:13 Melbourne Bitter
1:45 Swan Gold
2:02 XXXX Gold
Not a decent drop amongst the lot
@@thedavincikidSouthwark was good compared to the others. Sadly missing now.
@@thedavincikidlol Fosters tastes better than any of the current Australian mainstream beers
They never get Sydney's right. In 96 my dad was stacking cans of Tooheys.

Love the way old Merve holds him by the throat… then gives him a kiss!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
I wouldn't be surprised if the inspiration for this character was Oliver Reed.
Tins at bar love that crack open tinnie. Plays a drunk very well 🤣
I'm glad that he finally decided to drink from the tap.
Absolutely hilarious 🤣
That barmaid gets around !
I love comedy where I know what the joke is going to be 20 seconds in and it goes on and on with exactly what I expected.
Every English tourist ever
Ultra sore ribs from laughing thanks for the memories 👍
i love Hale and Pace, i'm sure they never get on TV in todays world
There in benidorm last season but not funny
Merv the Swerve. Aussie cricket legend.
Best travelguide ever
Bruuuuuuh, he decked him with a kiss on the forehead!!!!! 😂
Merv Hughes!!
This is a great demo reel for Hale's ability to play different stages of drunkeness. 🍻
Back in the days when Australia was fun
long gone mate, except for parts of Qld maybe

Yeah now Sydney is governed by noted leftists Morrison and Berejeklian
First went to Sydney in 1991 wow ,what a party .Went back in 2006 , didn't recognise the place.
Cheers Bruce.😂😂
Shit, I haven't watched these guys in years. I forgot just how funny this show was.
They did a farewell tour of Australia about 5 years ago and were brilliant.
He plays a brilliant drunk .
I like the attention to detail with each city's (more or less) signature beer in each of the pubs, haha.

@@stevebrickshitta870 You mad, Bro?
I haven't seen Hale & Pace since i was a kid🤣
Masterpiece.
Merv Hughes at the end lol
That’s one hot barmaid

(Gareth Hale and Mervin Hughes in the same clip... a good dose of nostalgia in this one! Cheers!)
They just don't make comedy like this anymore...
So true
They do but it's not shown on Australian tv we have too many soft cry baby people these days who would find this offensive.
@@100reality2 Its hilarious you can't see the irony of you literally acting like a soft cry baby yourself.
In Paris, there are some superb Aussie pubs, where you can enjoy Foster's delights, and even more. Cheers!
Probably all shisha bars by now.
I liked the 100 metre sprint introduction as well.
Please come back hale n pace …there must be loads of sketches to create the state this country is in …enough for 10 series .
he's exactly like my uncle when drunk xD
By 2:10 i had to get drunk myself to understand this fella. Btw Ricky Gervais stole this guy's laugh
my right ear enjoyed this
Love it!!! You got any English in you?
🤩 ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing!!! Thanks for posting, have you got the rest of the programme?? Great to see this again!
"Australians wouldn't give a castlemaine XXXX for anything else!"
To be honest I prefer it too.
Cats piss....
@@AUmarcus
Why do Queenslanders call it XXXX..?
Because they can't spell beer - an oldie lol
applause !!! good looking aussie women as well !!!
I think she is a Swedish backpacker
It also has some great pubs lol
They were great...remember hale and pace sooo funny....and i drank from the jug in brisbane in the early 80s and didnt get bounced😂😂
That barmaid. Tidy. Wonder what she looks like now.
lol, I was just wondering that. Fucking hottie, back then, that's for sure!
Long dead mate
@@captainroger if thats true its a damn shame.
captainroger she died?
Donna Gubbay. Still alive
As an Australian, I can confirm Perth is when sick resembles a city.
English and Irish people when they go on holidays “sightseeing”
This character's a cross between Keith Floyd, Alan Whicker and David Frost.
with a dash of Jeremy Clarkson
Ironically Australian people are very kind.
Not so kind, i was walking down Elizabeth street 3 hours after arriving and got offered out 3 times in 5 minutes by 3 drunks. It was only 5 o'clock in the afternoon
They're a bunch of knobs
@@lewis8890probably poms on holiday
Is this what Australia used to be. Wow
Get out of the cities and it's not that far off this.
There's an authenticity to his p1ssheadedness
Merv Hughes at the end. With one of his kisses.
I thought that was Merv. I liked his bowling. Was he fast/medium?
the nadir of British comedy
The spunk of a barmaid!
This is great banter
Brilliant! 🤣🤣🤣
He makes a convincing drunk, huh?
"Method acting" 😉
@@edinscot56789 Bloody good acting when an actor can nail down being drunk, properly : )
Either in sobriety or inebriation. However, Richard E. Grant's Penrith Tea Rooms performance is particularly incredible as he's allergic to alcahol.
He probably was drunk in them days lol
@@Kelly14UK aint hard if uve had practice hehe
Haven’t seen this one. Seen the Spain one but not the Aussie one. I have to watch the DVD box set that l’ve had on my shelf for around 4 years.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 PERTH
Southwark Premium. What a brew that was
Bwahhahaha, Mirv Hughes kissing him on the head, now there is one guy who knew how to drink, word has it he managed to pack away 4 slabs on the plane trip from aus to england one time, and still put in a good game of cricket :)
And cheers for reminding me of my younger days with the Melbourne Bitter, haven't had one of those in a while... brb pub.
Fuck. 8 years ago. Well, I've gotten a little older, a little wiser, and a whole lot drunker. Bottoms up!
Anyone get the number of that pandemic? Hoooo boy. Only reason I'll stop coming back here is when I'm dead. Crack a tube!
Brilliant 😁
Big Merv - legend😂
The bartenders shirt and brand of beer are the only thing that changes.
we call them barmaids and barman, although there is a pc move on to call them bartenders Awful
That’s the whole point of the joke
Even here in the UK, peope who really like their lager hate Fosters! Largers from Europe are much nicer!
I agree Fosters is like drinking water
No one drinks Foster's in Australia we drink VB, Carlton draught,xxxx,ect
The best beers and lagers are from Tasmania , Boags or Cascade . Its the water !
Personally Carona , Fosters or Victoria Bitter tastes like dishwater and I wouldn't drink it if it were free .
Best Aussie beer ever ; Cascade First Harvest . $90 a carton .
A generation of teenage Poms drank Fosters, due to the Barry McKenzie movie.
Happy days !
