ADD TRIVIA

It also pokes fun at pop culture from around the world and uses a mixture of both live action and animation. Along with Dave, RadiRadiRah stars an ensemble of some of New Zealand's biggest names in comedy, including Taika Waititi (Boy and Eagle vs Shark), Rhys Darby (Flight of the Conchords), Oscar Kightley (Sione's Wedding and bro'Town) and Mario Gaoa (Diplomatic Immunity and bro'Town).

- Dave: (when people complain about his show "Bro'Town's" controversial humor) How dumb do you have to be to not understand what satire is? People take things far too literally.
