30 Seconds AU S01E01 XviD-HDCP

what is this? i didn't find that much when i googled.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_seconds_(tv_series)

the series is about the moral dilemmas people face, heightened by the excesses of the advertising
industry and the three maintain no character in the show is based on any single person they know,
but drawn from many of their real-life experiences.

well, i added a big explanatory piece on it in tv news about a week ago ...

that and the jesters, which i hope will also appear here soon.

try googling it like this: ":30 seconds"
(yes, leave the quotation marks in [but not the backslashes])

here's the imdb link:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1407326/

it's an australian comedy show
(really! you mean the au in the title actually means something after all? admin: i know, who'da
thunk...).

good luck with that!

so far, i've found australian comedy to be worse than british humor, if that is
at all possible! (admin: oh so it's your sense of humor i found on the sidewalk the other day...)
it's almost as if was left out by design; maybe some sort of self-defense mechanism
needed to cope with living beneath everyone else on the planet. (it is my understanding that
antarctica has
no indigenous humans - the ones that live there now had been enjoying themselves in some other
form
of extreme isolation and self deprivation, but it just wasn't cold enough, so they migrated to the
bottom of the globe - lol (admin: nevermind the fact that australia happens to be one of the hottest
damn places on earth...))

admin: okay, seriously - if you're going to troll, at least be *slightly* intelligent about it. my god,
man. you deserve to have arch bishop black adder the first's installation ceremony special accessory
used on you.

um, ... racist much??!

if the humor isnt appealing, perhaps you dont actually get it.

either way, insults like this are unnecessary at best and inflammatory at worst. ever think that others reading these posts
would think the same way about american humor?

you were probably just hoping for a heated response, but kindly flame elsewhere. eztv isn\'t the site for forum wars on
intangible things like what makes a good sense of humor.

in my experience, the australian and british senses of humor are actually clever, which is more than can be said for the
american tendency to hoot and applaud at fart jokes and lowest-common-denominator insults. or even at nothing at all. i\'d
take aussie comedy over most us junk any day. but i respect your right to disagree and i trust you will respect my right to
find your post offensive and racist.

(note that i have only addressed the american sense of humor, whereas you have insulted a whole nation of people
themselves.)

haha! i love it, dmfaust. thanks for bringing us back to earth on this. your response made me laugh, and i think a bit of
levity is what we all needed. 🙂 well done.

cheers!

i don't see any backslashes....


(by the way, backslashes are only there to point out the "vain" ..... they only occur when you
"preview post" )

oh, those darn scifi-shows must have brainwashed me, i thought it stands for \"alternative universe\"



well, since it is opposite day, he meant to say, that their shows are even better than the british, i
doubt it though (no heroics, it-crowd rock!).

i'm going to give this one a look. after seeing the hollowmen, i think australian comedies are worth
checking out. on the other hand, i find many of them vulgar and offensive, and never watch another
episode. however, that is also true for american and uk shows.

if you liked the hollowmen, i would strongly recommend you trying to track down frontline (not the real us news program,
but an australian parody of current affairs programs like a current affair that aired in australia in the 90s. it was made by
the same people who made the hollowmen (and the original, australian version of thank god youre here - a version that
surpasses and has out-lived the us version). many see the hollowmen as the spiritual successor to frontline (there are
definite similarities in style of writing, filming and humor). i think a us cable channel picked it up quite a few years ago, so
it is possible that you have seen it or can get your hands on a copy. it ran for three seasons (39 episodes) and starred rob
sitch (the cueball lead from the hollowmen) as ficticious, clueless current affairs host mike moore. brilliant show!

all of the above being said, i personally think :30 seconds is a little slow in places, but still okay. i have seen the first three
episodes and am about to watch the fourth. i prefer it to the other new aussie pay tv comedy that i mentioned before (the
jesters), even though i actually know one of the actors on the latter (and the lead is a former colleague of the creative
team behind the hollowmen and frontline).

laugh-out-loud at anti-australian troll. we poke enough fun at ourselves already, insults from
yankees are like water off a duck's back...
by the way, space-time is relative, and gravity is a force that pulls towards the centre of the
earth - there is no reason why north should be "up" and south "down". perhaps it is tasmanians who
are in fact on top of the world... 😲
no, that would be ridiculous... maybe you are right after all. 🙂

i'm glad to see this show made it to eztv (that's success in my eyes!) as i've really been enjoying
it. yes, its style did remind me a little of frontline or the hollowmen, but focused on the
advertising industry.

this is one of the funniest shows since big bang theory. if you laugh at big bang then this is up your
alley.

sorry buzzd4alightyear, i have to disagree, didn't find it funny at all, nothing compared to big
bang theory!

i don't give a flying buttmonkey about much, but grabbed this just for shits and giggles and im
suprised i actually enjoy it.

"we were training some dog understudies to do the rex trick, right?"
"yeah?"
"where are they now?"
"uhh, one went mad...."
"and the other one?"
"the mad one killed it... why do you ask?"

*spits beer* didn't expect that, but then even long pauses scare me.

however, one thing that shits me about aussie tv - we only seem to have 8 actors... underbelly had
them all in one spot, now theyre in another show here, and lo and behold so far we've got carl
williams and roberta from underbelly 1 here, and george freeman the bookie from underbelly 2 in
this.. im waiting for detective steve owen, drazic from heart break high, and lewis moran to appear.
oh and half the cast of blue heelers should make some effort. and we need more home and away chicks
to get their tops off, just for good measure... then we can all have shortbread and mr phelps can
come in along with col'n
carpenter...

but i digress.

whatsadoodledoo indeed!

good but, i like it, right? yeah..

that abomination?

you're seriously never going to understand comedy from any land.... oo
