Season Premiere - The Chaser does it again! hide show
I tuned in to the season premiere the other night with that feeling of misapprehension and dread you get when your beloved show is about to start another season and you fear that it will have jumped the shark.
But surprise! Not only was The Chaser very, very funny again, but it seemed to have a sped-up pace, there seemed to have been about a half-dozen funny things that happened in the first minute, and that relentless pace definitely helped stamp out any initial fears that it couldn't possibly be as good as previous years.
If you missed it, they said they were posting the entire episode on their website, which is a good thing. (I know all Shore parents will rush to see what had to be the funniest skit of them all that night)
The only reason I stop short of a 10 is I miss the skits where they confuse unsuspecting people.. I don't know that they're really as famous as they think they are and that 100 percent of Australians would go "oh it's you guys" .. maybe they need to be not quite such legends in their own minds.
the CWOE is a pollitically driven show which returns to our screens this week hide show
The Chasers war on Everything is an extremly ballsy show which screens on channel two, it is a politically satrical show which sees the chasers team ambush leading pollies and prominent public figures and basically take the piss out of them and it doesnt stop there with the chaser team road testing and adds and putting into practise what life would be as a musiclal.The Chasers consist of Jullian,Craig,Andrew,Chas and chris,all bounce off each other extremly well and complement each others humor.The show returns this wednesday and is well worth watching as this season could well be the last very worth while watching 10/10
Need more shows like it. hide show
This has to be one of the only good satire base shows' in a good time. The surprise spruiker, current affair segment and all the othera are all really great. Though I think the shows isn't as quite as good as it use to be. Firstly, beacuse in gneral a lot of the new episodes can be pretty weak. And secondly, keep in mind this isn't any of the Chasers' fault; is that too many know about it, which makes it harder pull a lot of their gags off. But still it's a great show and I will always laugh about the stunt they pulled off at APEC. To sum it up, this is a really great show.
A fantastic Aussie Show! Involving Political Satire and real life things they do on the streets of Sydney and other major Australian Cities. Is it over? Or is it coming back? hide show
The Chasers War on everything is an Australian reality comedy about 5 men who who talk about the news, politics and many other things to joke about. They go to places in the cities of Australia and go and do things that most normal people would never even think of doing. The fact that it's funny and that it's real makes it really funny. They have also got into trouble with the Police a few times when APEC. The ceremony which is held in many different countries around the world that are in the Pacific. They pretended to be Canada and were held in Custody because they got passed all the guards and police. The show may not come back because now pretty much nearly all of Australia knows who they are they might not do it. But it could still happen. The Chasers War on Everything is a great show that shouldn't be missed by anyone! It's Laugh-out-loud comedy makes it a cutting edge for Free Australian tv. Great for when you're happy or sad and fantastic for the person who loves Political satire.
Rarely does a show come along where the only genre it falls under is pure "funny" but the Chaser's have proved that such a feat is acheiveable. hide show
The show features five average Australians who are like six Michael Moore's; down to earth, clever and share an appearence and demeanor that everyone can associate with. Essentially they poke fun at every topic that can be laughed at, sensitive or callous, using not only observational humour but hilarious segments, outrageous stunts, a range of sketches and songs but most effectively the amazing special effects which gets their point across more strongly than any dialogue could.
Although taking no prisoners in regards to their "war" on everything and showing no restraint in regards to their stunts, the Chaser's have rarely gone too far. That was until 2007 when the team really did cross the line with two acts that not even Moore would think of doing; the first was infiltrating the restricted APEC zone during the summit in Sydney and the second was the performance of a satirical song which poked fun at several dead celebrities, some of which had died not months before. People watching this show should take into account that these guys have a history of "faking" scenes so not everything that appears on screen can be believed. The Chasers are skillful enough that often we don't know when we're being fooled but most of the "did they really do that?" shennigans have no guarantee of not being set - up beforehand (although i like to think that most of them are authentic).
Of the six men, there is no "funny guy" as they all have different styles of presenting facts and making us laugh but the cult favorites have to be Andrew Hansen and Chas, with the other three coming off as the "straight" ones. Despite the questionable tactics employed on the show; The Chaser's War on Everything is stimulating, witty and frequently side - splitting. The relaxed tone never makes the viewer feel threatened - just as the casual appearence of the hosts and sets puts the viewers and targets at ease, they're predators in disguise. Whether or not you agree with what they have to say or if you find them funny or not, how these problems are adressed and amusingly handled makes this one of the best Australian comedies to come around for a long time.
