- Reaction To Kath & Kim (Season 1 Episode 1)
This is my reaction to Kath & Kim (Season 1 Episode 1) (Season 1 Episode 1)
In this video I react to Australian comedy from Australian television comedy sitcom Kath & Kim and it's first ever episode.
The fact that over 20 years later, the jokes are still funny and land as always. The sign of well thought out writing!
The noisy sliding door all the way through the series cracks me up. Little details like that are all part of what makes this show so great 😃
Haha me too! Reminds me of my childhood too 😂
@@laffy1988 Your childhood?!! 🫣🤭 I think I've got more than a few years on you! 😄
Yes!!! That's part of what makes this show SO relatable for many Australians. It's the inclusion of all those little details that are normally edited out of sitcoms, as well as the relatable nature of all the characters.
The garden furniture that's in every second backyard
@bibsp3556 love it 😊
The episodes get funnier as it goes on and you get to know the characters
“Look at me look at me look at me” has become a phrase we all use for fun
Yep. Loads of great catchphrases, especially that one. I also love the throwaway lines, "Yeah, Country Road Size '10'". (Country Road is a more expensive High Street boutique chain, and the "Size 10" is more like a size 12-14 to help them sell more clothes. Or at least it was in the day.)
Look at Moi!😂😂😂
And "noice, different, unusual".
There was a competition horse (dressage) here called "Regardez Moi". I don't know if its stable name was Kimmy.
Even in NZ!
No. It's "looka moi".
My very favourite episode was called "Obsession". I could hardly breathe from laughing when Kath and Kel got up on stage to Irish Dance. You HAVE to watch it!!!
My fave too, it's a classic
Me too! The Irish dancing!!!😂😅😂 I laugh til I cry every time!
Oh me too. I thought I was going into cardiac arrest.
Lady Gaga just released the song that Gina Riley sings as the theme song to Kath and Kim
@soniagouttman4326 no one will ever sing it like the original Shirley Bassey as the theme for some forgettable Bond movie.
Ah... yes 😁👍
That's the very talented Gina Riley (Kim) singing the theme song.
I have been told she dated a young Nick Cave when he was in the Birthday party
No way!
@@Kez5150
@@Kez5150 That is true. Gina was part of that crowd.

@@BaxterThewall cool nick back! ok... I was going out with a shelia ( this is & was ficticous, bull, and couvery smilar, i can still hear hear it from 5kms away. No hard feelings but I suppose a faak is out of the question?. It's been a few years and i've been barring up with anticpation so whaydahyarekin? 🤣
Made early 2000s. But the mum, Kath, is permanently stuck in the 80s, her hey day. In the midst of a mid life crisis.
This show was brilliant. True Aussie humour.
I remember when this aired… everyone was talking about it and quoting lines and jokes. It was a cultural phenomenon.
Craig, it still is in my household. My 20 year old loves it!
@@karistone1297 so great to hear that it’s got longevity. It’s when you watch it back now that you realize how truly genius and hysterical is was/is
"You're moi second best friend, Sharon!" This was popular in the UK too. My family back there (and my BEST friend!) and everyone I knew, loved it.
I couldn’t choose a “Pacific” episode, all are very funny.
Any time Kath dances it cracks me up! Hilarious moves!
Me too! EVERY TIME!😂🤣😅
Glad you’re watching this. One of our best comedies… I still watch it all the time. Makes me laugh so hard!
Hands down, the most successful Australian comedy series ever. It’s part of Aussie folklore. So many phrases and moments that are memorable and iconic. Such a brilliant comedy series. I can’t get enough, and often pull the box set of dvds out to watch over, and over. It used to be on Netflix, but not now I believe. When I feel a bit down, I find Kath and Kim cheer me up. One of my favourite episodes is from Season 3, episode 4, “Kicking up a Stink”, when Kath’s cabbage pastizzis affect the Drama Director unexpectedly, and Kim wears a running suit like Kathy Freeman in the Olympics, and breaks her nose. Very funny episode. 😂😂🇦🇺
Was great to rewatch this episode for about the 20th time . 😂
200 to 300 times for me! My favorite 😍 💓 💛 ❤️ 🌈🇨🇦🇨🇦🌠 🇦🇺🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🎇✨️ 🇦🇺
Theyre bloody brilliant. Kath reminds me of my sister- having to stay trim, spotless house, one cigarette and the ashtray gets cleaned 😂 and calling the car by its make " the Barina" 😂
The accent you were wondering about, is known as 'bogan' 😂. This show and all the catchphrases that it spawned are ingrained in our culture now. Every character in it, is an exaggerated version of someone we all know, which makes it so funny to us. It gets better as it goes, like a lot of shows. I hope you watch more, this was fun!✌❤
For the uninitiated "Bogans" would be called Chavs or Naff in the UK (at least when I lived there). And in Oz, "Naff" is "Daggy". Just basically, common, bad taste, but sort of fun and well-liked!
More Western Suburbs Sydney (big plans/no class) than Bogan, bogan is a more a Queenslander, a singlet wearing hoon!
@@jenniferharrison8915 Don't know mate, it's set in Melbourne suburbs, and that's where I live, and we'd call it bogan. Can't speak for other states/cities.
@@taniaPBear cashed up bogans. They live in McMansions ( large big houses) spend money on big, glitz and expensive tack. In every state and cities. 🤣
I only heard the word bogan when I came to Western Australia in 1985. In Melbourne I think we used to call them yobbos, from memory?
The show got a lot funnier the longer it went. And Magda Z was the wife in the movie Babe. She’s a great an actress.
It’s literally my favourite show. I don’t know if it’s because I am Aussie but it is right up my alley. I have probably watched each episode at least a dozen times 😂😂😂 honestly
One of my favourites is
"I want to be EFFLUENT mum!"
She meant "affluent"
..."You are effluent Kim" 😅
I love that! I want to be effluent mum!! You are effluent, Kim! As an English language teacher we teachers have so much fun with this show.
The show is set and filmed in outer suburban Melbourne. The suburb is called “Fountain Lakes” in the show. Also when you hear them say “down at Fountain Lakes” they’re referring to a local shopping centre where Brett’s shop is and Kel’s butcher shop etc Every Aussie knows people at work or in their family or friends who remind them of pretty much everyone on Kath & Kim 😂At the end of every show they have “wine time” which is Kath & Kim sitting out in the back yard and it’s totally improvised and therefore hilarious 😂Craig
See things like this show I never think would mean as much to non Aussies. The fantastic movie The Castle is another one. We love them because we see ourselves or our relatives in the characters and they nail them so well.
Noice, different, unusual!
Wait till you see the 'baby Jesus' episode 😅
I thought I'd die laughing 😂😅😂
"baby Jesus Kim..Jesus..oh Jesus"!! lol.
@@Brightangel55 I think I did!!
I love how as a Scottish dude you get it. I’m Australian from Melbourne like Kath and Kim I laugh and impersonate them too
The woman who plays Kim sang the theme song
The tragic thing is that recently the house was demolished! In the backyard there was some sort of waterway but production put up a fence to cover it. You're gonna love this series!
This has made my week!!! Can't wait for next ep, you're in for the most iconic ride
Kath and kim became a cultural icon here in Australia and the UK. so quotable.
Recently you only discovered Kath n Kim… you are going to want to binge watch Kimmy ! These guys are SUPER talented …even Kylie Minogue makes an appearance as Kim daughter down the track and Shane Warne …it’s THE BEST AUSSIE COMEDY SHOW EVA
Matt, there’s a really nice short video of Magda Szubanski when she was interviewed by Andrew Denton on “Enough Rope”. She described a moment when her Scottish mother had a glimmer of lucidity away from dementia. It made Magda realise that her own sense of humour had been inherited from her mother. She imitates her mother’s accent very well. There are other videos where she uses it too.
Kim: "Where's your video camera Mum?"
Kath: "It's in the bedroom on the tripod.....I'd better get that tape out." 😂😂😂
BTW, the 'accent' is bogan. Found in most lower middle class suburbs in Australia.🤣
There was three series of this on the ABC, then one on Channel 7.....and like everything that Seven poaches, it died after that one season......but for awhile, it was the biggest thing on Aussie TV.
America tried doing their own version.....of course it was terrible and failed.
@@stevemurrell6167 They are more middle working class, as they have jobs, aspirations, assets and money! Bogans generally do not hold responsible jobs or accumulate assets, they are grifters!
I was saying, You missed what she said NOOOOoooooo XD I couldn't believe that, but I'm glad you did the comment, Mate
I wouldn't go that far about the accent being in that many people lol.
@@Hunny1au Housos are Bogans, mate, mate, mate is Bogan, Burnouts is Bogan, Chopper Reid is Bogan, Kath & Kim isn't Bogan! 👍
Channel 7 only bought it to win their nightly time slot . It was bleeding customers against it on ABC. They wernt interested in continuing it
The writing, the acting, the cameos...Kath and Kim was brilliant!
The script is insanely clever, and the commitment to the ridiculous by the cast is next level. Very enjoyable, timeless Aussie comedy.
I love them at the night club with the spiked cocktails. Best episode, as its a real night club. Lol😅😅
Asparagus spears!
Oh God! That one’s so funny!🤣 😅😢
I think this is extra funny because we watched these characters over the years and really fell in love with them
The Suburb is Narre Warren and the 'local' Shopping Centre is Fountain Gate. Lots of references to it through out the Series. (Melbourne, Victoria). 🇦🇺
It was filmed in Patterson Lakes. The house they used for the series, I believe, was recently demolished.
Not to sound anal or anything but it was filmed in a house in Patterson Lakes and referred to in the show as Fountain Lakes.... although those in the know knew it was "piss taking" Narre Warren....or 'Narry" to the locals hehe!!!!!
Love Kath and Kim grew up watching them wish it was still on 😊
So glad you are watching this! This was the only show where our family would all get together to watch and not be able to stop laughing. We still use the ‘look at me’. Hope more people fall in love with the show.
much respect bro for knowing the actors names
This TV show was bloody brilliant!! I grew up in Australia from age Three from Irish parents who emigrated here but they went back...and I still love this!!
Oh man I just busted out laughing just from the intro song. Hilarious show.
Mate you have open the box, Kath and Kim the best ever of Aussie comedy
Unlike what some are saying, it's only a typical Victorian accent. But don't ask me to explain the differences, as they are subtle that even most Aussies don't notice it. Different states sound different, then there's the categories of posh, common, bogan and bushie accents.
But yes, this show gets progressively funnier, some favourites are Kath and Kell's wedding, the Melbourne cup day at the races and the one where Kim is heavily pregnant and trying to figure out names for the baby. But then, the highland dancing is side splittingly awkward.
My Grandaughter always watches this on dvd at her Great Nanas everytime she goes there. She has done so since she was a baby and she is 10 now. Great show and does get funnier the more they filmed.
All the characters develop as the show progresses and the catch phrases are part of our culture now.
My favourite show ever, I rewatch all the time ❤❤
Love love love this show!! Too many moments to pick out! ❤❤
I do think Kath and Kim might be the funniest Australian show ever.
I love this show - It needs more exposure - LOVE that you're reacting this :D
They're exaggerating, for comedic purposes, the very worst (hard on the ears!) aspects of the Aussie accent, usually associated with persons of limited education. Classic example is Kath's "look at m-oi-y, look at m-oi-y" for "look at me, look at me". The "good room" (once known as the "front parlour") is a room usually towards the front of the house where you might entertain guests i.e. your "best" room kept neat and tidy in order to impress.
Yesssss I'm so glad you got around to watching this! To answer some of your questions, it's set in the early 2000s. The accent they speak in is not really regional to anywhere in Australia but more a socioeconomic thing. That way of speaking ('i' sounds said like 'oi' etc) is associated with lower-earning generally lesser-educated people. It's not as common nowadays but used to be very common in the 80s and 90s. Kath and Kim are what we call "cashed up bogans" - people who moved from lower socioeconomic status to more middle class, who started out with not much money and got a bit comfortable by the time of the noughties. Not rich, just comfortable. Also you asked about the area they live in - that's a fairly typical suburban street in Australia. Most houses are that size, especially in the outer suburbs where there's more room and bigger blocks. The show is trying to poke fun at the stereotypes about very very average Australians, hence them living on an average street in an average suburb.
Thanks Matt. Kath and Kim was great. The US version was not. Glenn Robbins stars yet again. Fantastic character acting by all. 🇦🇺👍 PS. The accent is known as 'bogan'.
I never knew there was a us version, I'll have to look that up, no doubt it won't even come close to the aussie
I love Every thing About Kath & Kim,The Best 👌 👍 😍 🥰 😂😅😂😅
My young girls and I used to watch it every week when it used to be on tv. To this day we still fall into saying it’s noice, it’s different, it’s unusuuual 😂😂😂
NOICE!!🤣Kath's wedding is a great ep!!
I was a kid when Fast Forward came out and in my early 20s when this came out.
Still binge Kath & Kim when I need a laugh.
Such a good show ,have watch the entire series several times.
You need to see when Kath and Kell went on dancing with the stars hahahah -
Oh with Michael Bublé? That was hysterical 😂
@@sarahhayse-gregson689my favourite episode 😅
Season 4 Episode 1 The Holiday. Perfect depiction of an Aussie family trip.
Glenn Robbins is a national treasure.
I watch the Habibi Brothers’ channel (they’re from Algeria) and they love watching Glenn Robbins in his Russell Coight persona. They once described him as Australia’s Mr Bean. 😂
Glad you got around to this. Great reaction, you certainly get the aussie sense of humour. These ladies are very clever writers and actors. They've worked together since the 80's so their chemistry is so natural. 'Gay' ep in this season is brilliant & so funny but honestly my advice just watch in order because each ep is witty and funny. Magda is in every ep always as Special Guest. Enjoy the laughs mate.
Yeah, deffo watch in order 😃
I gives me joy that you are liking Kath and Kim. A good send up of Australian suburban working class life, time fllys
One of the best shows ever!!!!!..."I want to be effluent mum effluent....you are effluent Kim"...lol.
"Sport" is my fave episode, the Bolton twins are hilarious and so is Kim trying to play netball
I have the Kath & Kim boxed DVD set. My kids bought it for me one Mother's Day.
The most memorable episode for me (and for quite a few others, I suspect) was when they go to the Melbourne Cup (horse racing day). Though the details are hazy now, Sharon's adventure and subsequent rash plus that little bit of something stuck in someone's fascinator were particularly hard to forget.
"Pash rash " ❤
@@reneecody4357 That's the one! 😀
9:23 "that's a strong table"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I just watched trixie mattel and katya reacting to this show and that was hilarious 😂
😅😂🤣 So pleased you enjoyed. It was such a hit in Au. FYI that particular accent is typical of suburban working class Melbourne & parts of Victoria. If you watch more, you'll hear the 2 key actors take on different roles & adopt a "posh" Melbourne accent. Extremely funny.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Kath & Kim is also known for its hilarious word plays, such as Effluent instead of affluent, and Mere Formality instead of Formal / Official. Chardonnay pronounced with a hard C gets a good run later in the series leading to Kim calling someone a shunt when they correct her.
Lol, that bit had me cracking up, literally for years, as my friends and I would call each other shunts.😅 Something like "Cut up ya shunt".
@@barbararees604 you realise by projecting the joke you've ruined a genuine reaction! The very point of that joke is the shock factor and that it comes out of nowhere!!!! Lets leave the joke telling to the comediennes ok hehe.....
@@wayneking2090 I realise you really are wanking..... Ya must be, cos your head's so swollen, you actually thought you were being smart. Pfff! 🤣💩
It Debuted in Australia toward the end of 2002. I saw this pilot episode and was forever hooked. This pilot episode would have to be the most iconic.
Fun facts - the opening theme is a parody of 'The Young and the Restless ' opening
Also the real life house was in a canal estate, so you'll notice there is a lot of tight shots to avoid showing it (I guess they thought a canal estate was too effluent for Kath lol)
But if you look carefully you can sometimes see it (bedroom curtains sometimes are see through and often in the backyard scenes you can make out a bit of water in the Far corner of the screen- the fence was actually built specifically for the show to hide it! Lol
Im a kiwi but have seen them all and loved it .
FINALLY!!!!!!! Youve made it to Kath n Kim!!!!!! Believe us, it just gets better and better!!!!!! Truly ICONIC!!!!!!! Just have a glass of Chardonnay at the ready...... (that reference will make sense to you eventually!!!)
I can't tell you my favourite episode because I don't want to spoil it. It will blow you away with a certain cast member.
Warney the fast bowler for Australia made an appearance which was hilarious, he played Magda’s love interest.
The character that is Kim in the show, is a brilliant singer in real life, ( Gina Riley) she sings the opening song.😊
Oh I am here for this. This will be an education for you!
"thank u mom for mentioning my WAIT and this is my hour of NOIIIYYYYYD" LOL
This show is amazing! Watched it all thoseyears ago , still as funny now !! They are all one hugely talented cast ! Yes its also good that Magda was in most episodes ✨👌👏
There were a lot of quite famous people who guest starred on this, including Kylie minogue.
Kylie also played Brett and Kim’s daughter in one of the later episodes channeling her neighbours character with the wedding dress
People new to Kath & Kim don't realise both actors are the same age.Brilliant acting😂
Having a jolly good laugh! All these years later. From a Kiwi
Such a great show! Kath and Kim actually started on Big Girls Blouse with the skit Kim’s Wedding
Aussie tv shines best when they just make it for the home audience and dont worry about how itll do overseas.
So many good quotes:
"We decided to turn our beautiful sensual relationship into a mere formality"
Look at meeeeeeee, Look at mmmmeeeeee! The famous quote from this comedy series. This TV Series had a guest star, famous Australian Cricketer, Shane Warne. RIP
Every cast member is hilariously brilliant 👏🏻🤣🤣 Seen each ep countless times and still laugh like it's the first watch 😁
These days, this series also evokes a strong feeling of saudade.... 🥹
Love love Kath and Kym
I have the 4 seasons of this absolutely hilarious show. I have watched it so many times I nearly know it word for word. I think it was made about 2004. I still laugh at it every time. Noyce, different, unusual😅😅😅😅😅😅
One of my aunts and her daughter act exactly like this.
Alot of the comedians have done alot of Australian shows together, some utopia, some full frontal,Russell coight, fast forward, thank God you're here, kath Kim and few others can't think off top of my head.
I luv Kath n Kim long time 😂🎉
I took my Gf to a swanky Melbourne restaurant and sat next to Magda S (Sharon), she’s so smart and witty. Kath and Kim is wickedly funny and we all know some 80’s Australian Bogans like these characters. It’s a cultural icon. Look at Moi!
Gonna have the theme song stuck in my head now 😏😂
The first season is a classic!
A lot of people don't appreciate or understand the very clever wordplay and writing of this show. My partner and I have seen the entire series multiple times and also have it playing as a background "comfort show" and we catch new things ALL the time time! In addition, there is uniquely Australian humour that pertains to our culture. I and others will, I'm sure, explain it to you as the series goes along.
I’ve been to Fountain Gate! it features heavily in the series.
😅😅😅 This show was comedy gold...
Love Kath and Kim great Australian umour 😅.
It's very Australian and only gets better 😂😂😂😊
Kath and Kim is Australian comedy gold. The first season is amazing. It is from the early 00s. The wedding episode is outrageous. The characters are trying to sound hip and cool, but they just come off as uncultured. This is what we would call middle-class bogans. Watch Housos if you want low class/unemployed bogans. Quite a different type of bogan. Pot smoking, beer drinking, and just uncouth. I can sort of relate a little bit to Kath and Kim. I grew up in a middle class family in Melbourne, but the difference for me was that my parents were highly educated. My Dad was a nerdy scientist. Kath and Kim shows that bogans can come in many different forms and yes, you can get rich and somewhat uneducated bogans too.
