Brought to you by the same imaginative people that thought ‘Hey Hey’ needed a reprisal.’
Not Dribbilicious. Just dribble.
No thanks, I think I’ll stick with lamb.
This post is a lesson for all web film-makers:
Just because you CAN make them long, doesn’t mean you should.
Too long. And much too close to the lamb idea. Crossman Communications obviously have no idea about editing or original ideas for that matter. FAIL!
He’s stoned…and raving drivel
Couple a days…
Beyond how terrible this is. Is it just me or has Mark Mitchell forgotten how to play the character? People need to realise that Australian comedy ages… Badly!
yawn….
It’s not racist when you bung on an accent and pretend to be a migrant, is it? Wait a sec…fuck, it is! And before you wanker yobs out there tell me to lighten up and don’t take it so seriously, it is serious. Subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle racism) is alive and well in Australia, and this sort of dated, humourless shit isn’t helping. Do you think it’d be okay if he was pretending to be Japanese or Indian or, God forbid, African American? Enough with the racist stereotypes. Lazy, unoriginal thinking.
@10:55 *yawn* You are purely pathetic.
@ 5:55 – I doubt he’s forgotten how to do the character. I’ve been to two charity events in the last year where he’s been the MC.
As for 1:08, Christ buddy, chill out. If this is the highlight of your career and the first thing on your reel then that’s good for you. But don’t walk into the lions den dressed a zebra and expect a friendly pat on the back. Them paws have claws.
10.55 I agree. I like Con. But this belongs in the 80’s. What makes it worse is that involves Australia Day
