Rob , Remember when Sally Struthers notices the cuts on Normans face and suggests he should use an electric shaver . Norman then says ''I do".
Garry Macdonald was also in "Mother and Son"... a great Australian comedy sitcom from the 1980's. It was about a character with old aged dementia. It had at least 5 seasons. It stands up today incredibly well.
I say Arthur... love ruth cracknell
More controlling than dementia.
@@awestruck9075 That is a debate I have had. I say she knows what she is doing, but most people I speak to say she has dementia/Alzheimers
@@seanlynch1185 that's the joke, watch her face. She's playing the frail old lady guilting him, sabotaging his chances of relationships, just to get her way and have him take care of her. It's narcissist/empath 101.
Gary McDonald is savage with his humour, exposing hypocrisy and social injustices.
Norman was given so much freedom he even placed himself among the politicians on the steps outside Parliament House on 11/11/75 after the Governor General dismissed the Australian Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam. There are videos on RUclips, it was unbelievable that he wasn’t stopped but it ended up being legendary.
I was twelve at the time, even at that tender age I was so impressed, the police on the steps would have stopped you or I, but Norman....no way, how could they? Norman, a bloody legend.
@@brendanhere.6400 That footage didn't survive the time since then and had to have restoration work done on it.
“ I don’t watch a lot of sport “… That was Max Walker the cricketer
He won the Gold Logie as his character not as him self, he was nominated on all categories, lead female actor, child actor etc
This was the beginning of Norman's come back. McDonald had retired the character for several years before making a brief return. He had a national show in 1993 but ended up having a nervous breakdown and suddenly quit again.
Was it due to his writer suddenly quitting?
He said at the time that Norman was taking over and he was so depressed he couldn't leave the house.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 filling in the coupons. ( the magazine TV WEEK used to have coupons that the public filled in for their favourites to winner the various Logies)
Patty Newton is married to Bert Newton, who hosted the talent show "New Faces" where Paul Hogan was discovered.
Bert was also hosting the Logies this night, so that is why Patty turned up on her own. Bert Newton, btw is a Legend in Australian Television.
It was a different era.... but I am surprised you missed the “climaxing with Raquel Welch” at the very beginning.
Norman reuniting with Lee Marvin outside a LA Court was also a hoot , friendly & accomodating considering he was just about to go in & made history with his famous palimony suit.
He had a soft spot for Oz & came out every year Black Marlin fishing in North Queensland,, Cairns locals loved his hard drinking chutzpah.
I ran into him one time in a snooker hall in Brisbane. Yep, he wasn't a bad pool player either.
Neale Baxter Now that’s a very cool story Neale , as a kid in the 70’s i used to see him kicking around town in Cairns , I couldn’t believe it. There’s a RUclips video ‘ Lee Marvin a personal portrait by John Boorman’. ..where he talks about Lee fishing in Oz. Pretty good
@@queenslander954
Thanks for that, I'll definitely have a look for that video.
Gary McDonald is just the best actor and most hilarious comedian
watch mother and son .... especially the funeral episode where maggie drops a net of oranges in the grave ..ruth cracknell is incredibly funny
Hilarious, mother and son is one of my most favourite shows
I like the episode where family go on a picnic and mother accidently gets on the nursing home bus.
The police turn up with a lady from the nursing home thinking it was the mother.
When Arthur goes to pick up his mother from the nursing home, the same old lady runs up to him and mother makes a comment about that being one of Arthur's floozies ! :)
Such aged humour, and wouldn’t be permitted today. Mrs Newton (Patty) is a star in her own right, is wife of Bert Newton, who was hosting the event that night.
you would love the interview with Norman and Tim Brooke Taylor that was a classic
What makes Norman Gunston funny was the character took themselves serious. He wasn’t telling dad jokes. He is taking the piss out of celebrity.
Rob👍 I am so glad no one heard of him when I was at school, fortunately I left in 1987! if I was in middle school I would have been ripped to shreds Norman Gunston is far too similar to Martin Dunstan 😂😂great video and I think Aussie comedy is brutal,silly and hilarious ✌️👍🍻
Norman also interviewed Muhammad Ali who played along in true champion style
Around 3.30 minutes into the video he meets Derryn Hinch with his wife Jackie. Derryn was a controversial radio personality at the time but his wife Jackie Weaver played a supporting role with Robert De Niro in a film, Silver Linings Playbook. She was nominated for an Academy Award. She was also in Animal Kingdom and won heaps of awards.
And Derryn did end up spending time in prison many years later so that 'Australia's Most Wanted' joke wasn't far off.
@@ozfroggirl9221 and then an independent politician! He is a very diverse character
G'day Rob...the audio was a bit ordinary on that one but the interviews with McCartney, Muhammad Ali, Frank Zappa, and Elliot Gould are classics that are easy to find and will have you stealing shit to get yourself transported.Cheers.
Lol. I can't believe you picked that locomotion gag.
Max Walker with his famous moustache, former Aussie cricketer. He died in 2016.
The young girl is actress, Rebecca Smart who began her career at age 8, she’s now 45. 😃
I am an American and I lived I. Woomera SA and I watched Norman truly a comedian if his time and til this day . A funny funny man
We had a popular TV dad back then that was up to similar misdeeds as Saville. Maybe not to the same extent. But they got him in the end.
Also, Norman was so popular but so hard to play that Gary had a breakdown trying to bring him back.
Gotta love Normie. Eighty clothes and hair, goodness me, frightful! I had forgotten what we looked like.
Melbourne becomes the entertainment capital of Victoria...because it already is the entertainment capital of Victoria...
Mrs Newton is Patti Newton, wife of the recently deceased Bert Newton, aka “Moonface”, a well known and popular Aussie TV host across some sixty years.
You need to find Norman trying to find his way around London and asking people for directions while using a monopoly board as his map.
The best.
The footy show's street talk with Sam Newman was always good for a giggle
a logie named after john logie beird is a television award
I can't believe he said "gone byby's with the judge" to a child OMG Norman (Gary) 🤣🇦🇺
Love the Aussie man tee shirt Rob 👍
Cool Rob, great video. Those were good times
Patti Newton is the wife of the late Bert Newton. Bert was an entertainment legend in Australia. He had done everything. Radio presenter, TV host, and acted in some films and stage shows.
Norman's interview with Sally Struthers is hilarious
Norman gunson is also known as the "little Aussie bleeder" because of his shaving mishaps
Those kids were our Legendary Young Talent Time from Young Talent Time (YTT). Which to the major disappointment of Legions of fans had been cancelled. Thanks to that show Dannii Minogue was a Household Name in Australia before Her Sister Kylie had even been heard of. On RUclips you'll find an Iconic Number From Young Talent Time. Dannii and Kylie Minogue singing a duet of "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves".
Norman "Climaxing with Miss Raquel Welch" Rob - "some of the jokes may go over my head", don't think too high brow Rob!
Did you know Raquel Welch's last husband was Richard Palmer. Truly!
So I also stated I wouldnt know most of the actors or celebrities and I only knew Kylie. So no I didnt know Rachel Welch was married to Richard Parmer as I dont know either of them haha
@@RobReacts1 Rachel Welsh was The Rachel Welsh. She was the blown up Barbie screen godess of the 1970's. In the 70's you had the famous screen posters of Farrah Fawcett with the hair or Rachel Welsh in the doe skin bikini everywhere. That is why Norman Gunston was 'climaxing with Rachel Welsh'.
It’s such a clever ability to write jokes/scripts and be able to target 2 seperate age demographics. the writers of Shrek did it so well . So many Jokes and one liners in that kids movie were aimed at the adults who had to sit through it.
Bert Newton is a national treasure. One of icons on TV through the ages. He appeared on TV screens in the 60's. Now in his 80's and experiencing health problems. A multi gold logie award winner.
Kylie was only about 18 here. Locomotion was her 1st hit in 88 or 89. She hit the screens in Neighbors a year or so earlier as Charlene in 87 at 17.
Susan Renouf was a famous socialite with a famous history. (What socialite doesn't have that!).
Hazel Hawke was married to famous PM Bob Hawke famous for saying Any employer who sacks an employee today,is a bum in 1983 when Australia won the America's Cup. Bob was a ACTU (Union) leader in the 70's and 80's and won the 83 election. Great drinker and lived a good life until his death in his 80's a few years ago. His partnership with Treasurer Paul Keating (who later became PM on challenge in 1992) was famous and ground breaking for Labor leadership and progression in Australian's working lives. Introducing Superannuation in 92 and that has been a saviour for workers retirement lump sums. It's now 10% of wages compulsory contribution which can't be accessed until 60. Deregulation of the $A in 83 move in international trade also was significant.
Forget who the little girl was.
Max Walker (with the mou) was a famous 70's cricketer. One of the legends of the era when there were great personalities. Think Shane Warne x 10 without the ego. He was a great character (nickname Tangles due to his unorthodox bowling action) who sadly died at only 68 from cancer about 5 years ago. Wrote over a dozen children's books which he would flog at every opportunity. He was universally loved.
Daryl Somers who he interviewed as he just got of his car was a multi Gold Award winner as well. Host of a show called Hey Hey it's Saturday which started out 71 as a morning childrens show which then progressed to a prime time 6.30 Saturday night show with entertainers, a band,comedians,Red Faces (Google) and the famous dicky knee. Virtually an inverted talking mop!
Derryn Hinch was a famous host of a show that followed the news and Australia's most wanted. Always controversial. Had no qualms about naming those in court and eventually spending some time in the clink. His wife was Jacky Weaver a well liked actress at the time.
Yea the only one I knew was Kylie! As I said she is a national treasure here too I recon!
@@RobReacts1 Kylie is well liked. Hard to believe she's in her early 50's now. I reckon that makes me feel old!
Norman interview with Sally Guthers is the best interview ever. I recommend you watch it.😂
Already gave 😉
Need to watch Norman Gunston interviewing Boy George ! :)
Norman - so Boy is your first name ?
Another time Norman is asked about the cuts on his face and asked don't you use an electric shaver to which he said he does ! :)
Norman interviewing Paul McCartney is a good one.
Great review👍
Yep 'Norman' is a bloody classic! 🤣😂
You should check some of his 'Mother & Son' episodes...with Ruth Cracknell. Brilliant ABC🇦🇺 series.
Love the Ozzy Man top👍👍
Robbo, if you watch Mother and Son, that’s how my mother treated me. It’s funny to watch it now my mother has passed away. But it hit a bit close to home when she was alive lol
I truly recommend you watch it. Ruth Cracknell who plays the mother is amazing.
Give me a link :)
@@RobReacts1 this is 1 episode. Hard to find more i think.
ruclips.net/video/YU6X5Tltrzc/видео.html
@@andrewstewart01 thanks 😊
Good god the hair doos and perm solutions
and the crimped perms
More of Garry McDonald, watch the very popular tv series back then called "Mother and Son" he was the poor long suffering son with the absent favourite brother and the ever so wily and very funny mother. Brilliant, it made me feel so sorry for Garry's character
If you want Dickie Knee then refer to Daryl Sommers who Norman greeted. He hosted Hey Hey It's Saturday and Dickie was on that show.
You should look at Graham Kennedy, he was the king of Australian television.
Can't deny that statement, Paula.
Yes indeed...if you think Norman's humour is inuendo driven then Kennedy's was on another level (not saying which). Much of our humour stems from a great comedian from the early years named Roy "Mo" Rene.
Mother and son was a brilliant comedy he did later
Rob, you MUST review Norman Gunston in the Australian interview with Paul and Linda McCartney.
(Paul McCartney Norman Gunston 1975)
So good. No one but an Aussie would get away with his questions. 🙂
You may remember in the Gunston -Sally Struthers interview when she notices the razor cuts and tissue on his face and says ….poor thing, you should use an electric shaver and with classics comic timing he pauses and says “ I do.” ……and she goes hysterical!
As a kiwi, I've always loved Aussie humor.
Norman was great.😄
In his interview with Sally Struthers (who notices the cigarette paper to absorb the blood from the razor nicks) she says to him, Why don't you use an electric razor? and he says I do.......
'with certain.....Saville' lol
If you're enjoying Garry McDonald's work, you should check out "Mother and Son".
Bert Newton was the Host of the Logies, he told his wife not to wear Bert out (he has a big job to do)!
He's a legend.
I think you should have a look at the TV series "Hey Hey its Saturday"
Well that was a blast from the past. Gotta love the " little Aussie bleeder" Don't watch him interview Keith Moon it's tragic but God bless him he stayed in character! Oh and so did Norman! Check out " Iced Vo Vo's" an Australian delicacy!
1:12 more names in the title than Lady Susan Renouf.
A reference to a much married and divorced socialite figure back then.
Lady Susan Rossiter Peacock Sangster Renouf. That is if I have remembered most of her husbands correctly.
Potential prime Minister and UK horse racing multi millionaire included amongst them.
From her Wikipedia page original maiden name Rossiter ( state political family) the married
Andrew Peacock
(1963-1978; divorced, 3 children)
Robert Sangster
(1976-1978; annulled; 1978-1985; divorced
Sir Frank Renouf
(1985-1988; divorced)
In all the social pages at the time.
Some context of who he's talking to and about. Derryn Hinch a host of his own current affair program I believe illegally named someone in a court case and as a protest went to jail instead of paying a fine, That's why Norman said he was the host of Australia's most wanted. Darryl Sommers won 14 logies hence why he found the magazine under the lino/floor covering years old and no writers cramp filling in the coupons, the awards winners are based on the number of magazine coupon votes a person got. More names above the title than Susan Renouf. She was a socialite who was thrice married all to rich and influential men. He was very very talented and cutting edge considering the time period he performed. He also played a more serious comedy role in Mother and Son being the son who cared for his elderly mother, Sadly and ironically like a number of comedians he suffered from depression and anxiety.
Hi Rob , greatings from Melbourne Australia, I'm Glenn, may I make a suggestion for you to watch a classic Aussie cult movie called Hercules Return's , you'll love it Ive probably watched it around 200 times and is always so funny , take care mate 😉
I shall see if i can find it! :)
@@RobReacts1 it's actually on RUclips I discovered full movie
I loved his interview with Boy George where Boy George got upset and walked out. Love Norman Gunston.
I think Norman was told not to ask about Boy George's sexuality which openly did at the end before they said cut.
In the Sally Struthers interview that you played a while back, she suggested that Norman should use an electric razor. He replied, "oh, I do..."
There was an XE cab! Forgot they would have been running back in 89.
Gary can play the mouth organ well. Frank Zappa underestimated his ability and sped up! Gary made him look silly by playing a news intro at the end! Is on RUclips, Gary is a sweetheart!
Im pretty sure the little girl is Rebecca Smart which means they would have known each other. The industry in Melbourne was pretty small back then.
Daryl Somers is akin to Noel Edmunds in Australia.
That's our Aussie sense of humor. As you know we have to wear masks when outside. I bought a "Queen" (the band) mask. When asked about it, my reply. "That's the only way I get to lick Adam Lambert". 😄
Norman is a genius
How's about those " Matildas" hey Rob ?!
Also , remember when Norman was interviewing Sally Struthers , she asked him why he didn't use an electric razor , he said "I do" .
Magda Subanski, Con the fruiterer classic Aussie comedy
When asked why he didn't use an electric razor, his immediate reply was that he did. He described himself as the little ausie bleeder and was involuntary celibate.
He then went overseas and interviewed some absolute super stars but they were unaware he was acting. Super funny if you can find one to watch. Usually blurted out some absolutely taboo subject in there life.
Gosh, back when they were still married! Controversial Radio journalist, the bearded Derryn Hinch and actress, Jackie Weaver, who, in recent times, has been getting some top roles in the US.
Kylie went to London after her 'Neighbours' role finished, as did a lot of the cast members as it was so adored over there. She was far more popular there than here. Not that she wasn't liked here, but you guys made her a superstar. I've noticed many Brits like to make that very clear to us too, very possessive of Kylie, and fair play.
Haha yea Kylie is a Brit...you can keep Dannie though 😂
@@RobReacts1 Gee, thanks.
Gary McDonald was in a show mother and son it's worth having a look
As everyone has said below, if you haven't already check out Gary MacDonalds other series called Mother & Son.
I possibly suggest explicitly the full length episode which is known by all as "The Funeral".
Gary plays the son of Ruth Cracknell's character Maggie.
Be prepared to laugh, and just remember that aussie humour is very dark at times and is a coping mechanism for nearly everyone in positions just like that. Not everyone agree's with our humour but to us all it is just a simple step in life.
I always likened it to the humour of Michael Crawford's character Frank Spencer in Some Mothers Do A've Em.
When you said the aggro thing, I thought you were meaning Agro the puppet on the kids show. Agro is another Aussie icon. A must watch also. Have you watched The Aunty Jack Show? Gary is in that also but not as Norman. Norman interviews Cheech and Chong was classic too!
He was, he did a video on Agro's cartoon connection!
haha yea done videos on both ;)
See if you can find some episodes of Australian ABC Play school with John Hamblin some very adult innuendo in a 1970s pre-schooler tv show
Good to see the Poms enjoying Norman.. us Aussies don’t mind laughing at ourselves.. the woke, I’m offended generation would have a hissy fit at Norman .. he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but he won a Logie.. as he said it’s the Nobel Prize of entertainment.. 🤣
Oh god! Yeah! I forgot Mother and Son ... you should watch that ... and then I can after all these years 👍🤣🥰
His character was supposedly a hemophiliac who cut himself while shaving and his joke when people says should use an electric razor he says I DO gone by by with a judge lol there were no judges to win the Magazine Tv Time i think it was had coupons ,you had to fill in .
Daryl somers hosted hey hey it’s Saturday. The show with dicky knee the puppet.
Rob, it's time for you to watch "The Adventures of Barry McKenzie ". A 1975. Movie which came out around the Aunty Jack/ Norman Gunston era. It is the most politically incorrect thing you will ever see and has just about every Australian saying up to that point in history.
Agreed.
Your first assumption was correct Robbo.
Maybe have a look at his Boy George interview ... none of Normans "victims" knew what to expect, and that's what made it extra funny. 👍
He interview guns n roses. Funny as.
Norman Gunstun interviews are hilarious amd you haven't even touched them yet, je hasade a lot of celebritys feel uncomfortable, amd really freaked out some americans. Did you know he would have panic attacks and stressed out of camera. He was quite timid.
Norman Gunston Cheech and Chong, is the best one you will ever see.. ruclips.net/video/A2lkhueyTBA/видео.html
@@ianfarr-wharton1000 that one was ok, i prefer when the interviewed freaks out. But you're entitled to your opinion
Look up Normans interview with Keith Moon.....
You absolutely *_MUST_* treat yourself to some "Mother and Son", in particular season 2 episode 3, where Gary McDonald plays a character looking after his elderly mother with alzeihemers. This was one on the funniest momements ever on Aussie TV.
It's not on the watch list! 😄
@@RobReacts1
It's a hard to find this episode for some reason. I wore out my copy on VHS.
Norman won quite a few Logies in the 70 and 80s so hes taking the piss out of them
There was interview that he did with female celebrity, I forgotten her name but boy was it funny.
It Kylie true Aussie is Koilee
As others have said Mother and Son was brilliant, however Gary Macdonald isn't really the main attraction, he is like a straight man. Ruth Cracknell is hilarious as his mother.
Norman was such an odd character. If you look up "The Aunty Jack Show" you can see him in black and white on early 70's Aussie TV. You also get Grahame Bond as the eponymous Aunty Jack. Another very odd character. "I'll RIP YER BLOOD ARMS ORF". And the hard time he gave old Max "Tangles" Walker (you might be too young to remember him sending all those pace balls at your English test teams). Tangles was a lovely bloke, but Norman gave no one any quarter. Have you seen what he did to the band KISS?
Yeah checkout mother and son, it’s basically dark comedy but a good slow burn
You are acquiring an understanding of how strange Aussies are
There is another Norman at the Logies clip on you tube where he is in the theatre doing interviews at the tables also very funny. Norman was my hero as was Agro any one that came after these two are poor copies
Before Borat there was Norman.
Ok. My friend told me it was after Frank 😠 sorry it's named after John Logie Beard! 😁✔️
