You guys may not know about the Chaser guys but they a bunch of comedy blokes who made blunt political satire and other things that really pissed off a lot of people of... and we aussies love them for it.
Recently this year they decided to close their War on everything show permernately for good. Despite there are some moments that are crossing over the line with some of dead baby comedy at times, like most other aussie people, we do have a soft spot for them and it's sad to see it closed.
So here are some of the clips that is kinda a tribute to them and a good indication what the show is like.
Nut Job of the Week - The Secret
The Infamous APEC stunt
What have we learnt in History - The Trojan Horse
Pedestrian Rage
And if those aren't offensive enough
What have we learnt history - Poland

Lol, you have seen the "outsourcing" to India version. That was hillerious how the officer hassled the Indians for wearing their turbans the wrong way.
As much as I love to see more of the show, I think it's for the best if they ended where they are concidering:
1. they afraid to reused the same old ideas 2. They kinda jumped the shark due to the offensive skit called "Make a realistic wish." Still at least they have the courtesy to admit that they are wrong and they are trying to make up for that. 3. They working on another project. 4. Might as well ended it while they still high and well.
Still, it's quite sad though. Watching the dvd makes it even more sader in a ironic way now.

I like Chasers too (having been introduced to it by Till here).
Sometimes they really did go too far, but often they were fantastic. One less smart, passionate satirical show is a very sad thing.
And this is a repost, but I'm still very amused by it - Tillian how could you forget.......
........ THE DEAD ZONE?!?!
Yes - illegal drugs are as easy to get... as a bag of lollies.
