The Chasers War On Everything 2007 10 31 WS PDTV XviD-FQM

not a bad episode, better than the last couple of weeks.

thanks!

so nice to have this back on eztv

thanks!

just watched it, audio and video quality is perfect.
thanks fqm and eztv

thanks a lot!

thanks ez i much prefer this to the podcast.

out of interest does anyone outside of aus watch this?

431 peers and loads of non .au ip addresses, i think so..

;)

they might not get 90% of the humor, but still when the guys do some of their
setups you don't need to know who is who down here.

footage of kevin rudd eating his ear-wax was on an american late night show
(similar to rove) the other night, they americans saw that they may get some of
the stuff.

i'm stateside and i "get" most of it.

i'm usually okay with the politics angle. douchebag politicians are universal i
think.

i struggle with the aussie pop-culture and entertainment references more.

i am european and i can confirm that it is a funny show for non-australians too.
i don't know most of the politicians/tv-moderators/etc. the chasers ridicule,
but most of the time they do it in a way that is fun even from an objective
point of view. i'm pretty sure i get significantly more than 10% of the humor.... 😉

go, chasers. 🙂

sweet !! 🙂 tbh the pop-culture is like our lingo.. not sure if you heard about
the aussie woman arrested on a us flight for saying "fair dinkum" because the
stewardess thought she was swearing?! it's just bonkers..

as for the politics, i was going to say that - pollies are pollies are pollies..
but i remember serious surveys where people in the us had no idea who the pm of
australia was, let alone we had one.

i guess times are changing, even ol' johnny howard and his smug snide ignorant
grin is doing youtube.. as for rudd and his earwax.. what a dickhead. literally.
absolutely 100% a perfect politician.

and we have abbott swearing in reply to a female politician on camera with audo.
now "that's bullshit!"

onwards and forwards. *vomit*

true.. i guess i meant 90% of the satirical piss takes where they rely on
knowledge of the victim rather than the situation. 🙂

but when they stunt apec and stuff like that, thats just a given.. however the
recent bit of delivering a ticking item to a building - theyre in the shit
again.. haha.. gotta love' em..

i guess times are changing, even ol\' johnny howard and his smug snide ignorant
grin is doing youtube..

dont you mean peter costello

(sorry can't think of more....)

in answer to the question \"does anyone watch this outside of australia?\",
this
article showed up a couple of days ago on the news.com.au webite.

chaser tv show goes global

the chaser\'s war on everything has controversially conquered australia in the
tv ratings and now it\'s going global.

the satirical ambush comedy series is now being screened in israel, south
korea, new zealand, norway and finland.

the abc is also in talks with more than 20 other countries - and the biggest
interest is coming from the middle east.

abc international sales chief karen dacey has just returned from mipcom tv
trade fair in cannes and said the apec stunts generated huge interest - as had
summer heights high.

\"both shows were our biggest hits and there was a huge word of mouth buzz
about them,\" she said yesterday.

\"it shows both can travel but the chaser really hit a chord because everyone
had heard of them from apec.

\"our middle eastern clients especially loved them and the iranian buyers
thought they were hilarious and they could be seen there.\"

other territories are looking at picking up the series which is re-edited for
the world market with local politics taken out.

they include latin america, eastern europe, germany, denmark, poland, japan,
thailand, spain, canada, holland and the us. producer and chaser member julian
morrow said the international market had always been on their radar.
