Ah, Chaser's War on Everything was a great show! But I stopped watching after the sick kids skit, that's when they went just a little too far. Everything before that was gold! Even the 'Everyone's a Good Bloke After Death' song. That was offensive but undeniably hilarious (apart from maybe one or two lines).
Nurse: What wish do you have, Timmy?
Sick Kid: I want to meet Zac Effron
Nurse: Well, we can't do that, but, tell you what, how about we give you this nice stick instead?
The only bit of that skit I didn't like was "Why go to any trouble, when they're only going to die anyway?"
I wish that skit was on the DVD... the rest of season 3 was gold, you should watch it.

Totally agree that was just a horribly rude and offensive skit

Yeah. I just hate to think what people actually experiencing serious illness, or their families, must have thought of the skit. I really don't think that the Chaser had to stoop so low. I know that it's called the Chaser's War on Everything, but there is a line eventually.
I still appreciate everything else that the Chaser did, though.
APEC, Or EPIC? That was one of the greatest moments in television history. If they didn't willingly exit the car, I think they could have gotten a lot further... but then they would've probably been arrested.

Eh? Chas Licciardello, Julian Morrow and 9 crew members WERE arrested over the APEC stunt.
It was brilliant, one of the best things they ever did... I have so much love for The Chaser.
Oh yes, that's right. They were arrested. I think I meant to say 'thrown in prison'. Yeah, absolutely the best thing, it's what they'll be remembered for in years to come. I also really liked their musical parodies such as 'Stairway to Kevin' and their fake commercials for fake products like 'The Complete Walks of John Howard'. Great stuff, I do miss it.
Me too. Now I'm all nostalgic for 2007 Wednesday nights on the ABC. Spicks and Specks, Summer Heights High and The Chaser's War on Everything... those were the days.
It's an Australian show. It was never broadcast anywhere else. The Highway and I have seen it because we, of course, are residents of the country. And I think that Puzzlebox has seen it because she lived here once... I think.

It has been broadcast in other countries, albeit with the Australia-specific content chopped out, and probably not in prime-time slots. Wikipedia lists a bunch of them, and I saw it a couple of times on TV here in the UK.
I'm about to start my webcomic again, just because the first part is horrible developed. And maybe this time I could start it in English as well. Who knows =P
Strangely enough when I searched facebook, I found loads of other people that had my exact same name. Including middle name. Which is weird because I have a very rare middle name.
Sadly, there is no one with my name except me. At least not any I can find on the internet. So I never use my full name, when I can help it, because it only goes to me and my immediate family. Pretty scary and awful actually.
I always try to login to those sites and change my info, to say I'm like 62 and live in Nevada or something.

But see it the other way: you're unique!
I'm almost 100% sure that the only two people with my last name are my husband and me. Nobody else. And that's awesome! We are our own microcosm. We're our own dynasty! Well, a dynasty of just two people, but still!
Even before I got married, my last name wasn't very common so I was probably the only person with that specific full name, although I might not have been. Still, in Paris, the only people with my last name were my parents, my brothers and me.
I have the most generic name I could think of. To me. And I hate it, because every time I mention my last name, my friends are like, "And that's your future career, isn't it?" and it gets so annoying!

It's the Telltale forums, I think you're pretty safe.
But I guess knowing your whole name will allow people to report you for stalking more easily.
Basically, for one of them, I downloaded all of the Telltale Games again, Portal, and every episode of the Chasers (legally) season 2

Yeah, that was the worst part of the whole thing.
Don't you mean "wasn't"?
Okay then, I might give it a go then, because I did enjoy season three up until previously-said-moment.

One word. Or, er, acronym.
APEC
Didn't hear me? I said
APEC
Just a question. There isn't anything as bad as the sick kids skit for the rest of the season, is there?

Only for most of my life.
I'm curious about this too, it's rare to find anyone outside of Australia who knows and/or cares about The Chaser.
I haven't actually seen either of those shows. I might have to check 'em out if you say that the Chaser reminds you of them. Would you recommend them?

(mild language)
Indeed!
I especially like their Spontaneous Musicals and No Pants Subway rides.
Yea Whitest Kids You Know is a great show, my friend told me about it and I started watching there stuff online about 2 years ago really funny stuff.
Also about the Chasers Apec stunt, So funny how they got so far with "insecurity tags"
You're telling me.
Anonymity fail.

I know who Ultraman is, I know Ultraman Seven, Leo, Taro, Tiga, Dyna, etc
