The Chaser’s War on Outbursts

I like their thought balloons, they are perfect and watching the reactions are just as good.

I’ll be watching the ABC, as always!

I will be tuning in to triple J. Roy and HG are doing the coverage on Saturday night

The funniest was the APEC break in with the made up limo and out rider security guards. You could see the guards as they were running beside the vehicle nearly pissing them selves laughing.

They are brilliant, and getting better all the time.

I used to be a fan, but went off them when they gatecrashed the italian film festival with Sophia Loren.

I just thought the italian community had worked really hard to make their event a good one and these arrogant dwebbes decided to use their hard work for their own show.

The APEC thing wasa funny, but had the potential to be very tragic – how would a policeman feel if they made a decision to open fire and then realised the error? It would have ruined many lives around it. The UK case highlights the potential for things to go wrong.

they make me laugh hard. The episode when they pinched the qld cowboys gear from the airport and then claimed they were jonathon thurston. priceless

Dental surgery without anaesthetic is better than Rove!

Yeah, when they’re in form they’re golden but I cringe when they are just out giving shop workers a hard time. I can see that it might be hard to fill 30 mins each week – particularly in a slow-news week.

have to say they are getting a little lame, although some of their stuff does still raise the odd chuckle. I just think some of their targets don’t really deserve what they cop… and the way they sit and stare directly at the camera in between skits… well, I could choke them for that

TAD, the chaser’s tally room is being filmed tonight, and a week tonight, not at the same time as the election

I think certain skits appeal to certain people. I’ve been literally in tears at little pranks they’ve pulled while others think they’ve been lame. At the end of the day I like what they do, most of the time.

I’ve been told by a fairly reliable source that they will be here for the election, and a couple had rsvp’d to attend the ALP after-party following the official announcement.

No Canberra shenanigans, they are just going to film Canberra in Ultimo instead.

in the risk of sounding like a potential labor Pm, me too finds them stale and rather rekkuns they’d be best off disbanding, mebbe reuniting for one-offs when necessary.

that said, more of clive and the crazy warehouse guy would be great – mebbe a slot on the half seven show on non-john clarke days?

I think I saw (or heard) Clive the slightly too loud commuter on the bus the other morning…

I agree Thumper. It’s getting a bit stale indeed. A complete re-format of the show, or a whole NEW format/new show is needed. Too many lame-arse pranks going on. Though freedom of speech is a bit limited these days through most mediums…

Having said all that. I haven’t seen them in Canberra. And I hope they keep doing their thing ON THE ABC !!!!!!!!

I find them very hit and miss in terms of humour. However, when they hit, they hit with a harsh brilliance. The one that keeps springing to mind is their fake motorcade during OP…sorry… APEC.

I’d be very sorry to see them disappear.
