The movie news out there today is pretty boring, so instead I’m giving a free plug to a new HBO show, Summer Heights High. It’s kind of like the Australian version of a Christopher Guest movie, and the three main characters are all played by Aussie comedian Chris Lilley. It can be slow at times, but it’s all worth it for his portrayal of Tongan gangster wannabe kid Jonah Takalua. He absolutely nails it. I used to substitute teach middle schoolers and I swear to God there was a kid exactly like this in every class.

I swear to Christ the first one of you bastards to try that “Puck You” shit on me is gonna find out exactly how far my foot will fit up your ass.
Tongan gangsters hold their gun sideways when they bust caps as well, but they hold it turned out instead of in.
I used to teach high school and yeah, I recognize that kid. Now, as a college teacher, I can just fuck his girlfriend….legally.
Seriously, once this show gets some legs under it, I’d fucking HATE to be a teacher.
I was approached by a Tongan gangster once, his dingo ate my baby.
Tonga WHaaaaT?!
I use to teach preschoolers. Not at a preschool, but in the ballpit at Chucky Cheese. The lesson: Pauly is not to be fucked with.
Breakout with a bump, Crap.
And I aint talkin’ ’bout hives…
Eh.
Tonga puleeeez!
Whachoo talking bout genital warts, fo?
{terrorist fist bump}
I’ve seen this. Very good. Chris Lilley’s a star but it’s the rest of the school that makes the show by playing it absolutely straight, and, when the exasperated English teacher finally snaps on Jonah, it’s like a kick from a mule.
For me the funniest part of the first clip was when he was drumming with his pencils and gave that awesome cymbal tap on the blinds.
Probably because I used to do the same thing.
Now I just play real drums to satisfy that need.
Okay, not real drums, but the plastic ones that came with Rock Band.
I used to date a girl from Tonga.
She gave the best head
butts.I prefer kids with Tonkas.
The doctress wood prefer Tengos.
The restroom scene where they’re explaining their grafitti killed me. It reminded me of some of the douchebags I went to school with.
And thank you Chino. Anyone know what gets vomit out of suede track suits?
I would like to commend Rexy on his proper usage of “they’re” and “their”.
Kudos.
I hope Misssoultaker is taking notes.
or an overdose
Sorry about that. I meant and an overdose.
My hope for this guy is that his career path doesn’t end up following that of Sasha Baron Cohen. Fraternities around the country would disagree, I’m sure.
Fuck You, Stephan.
What?
Puck You, Stephan. I said Puck You!
laughter and latent homosexual tension ensues
Look. I still think that Cohen is hilarious. Borat was hysterical.
I just don’t like having to hear all the funny parts of it recited to me over and over by unfunny douchebags.
That’s what I was trying to get at Jack!. I’m on record as stating that Da Ali G show was possibly one of the funniest shows I’ve ever watched. But like you, it drives me fucking crazy when people keep beating a dead SJP.
It’s the hairy arse in face/naked wrestling scene that i can’t stand unfunny douchebags recreating all the time. The number of times i’ve been down the Cockpit, minding my own business and then the next thing you know, two grown men, who really ought to know better, start munching on each others’ arseholes. *shakes fist at Cohen.
Ooooooooooooookay! Thanks for that CB.
J, it’s like Beavis & Butthead . It’ll pass. Eventually, it’ll even be funny to Borat impressions again.
But very infrequently.
Nice Lenny Henry impression there, erswi.
Well CB, if they could munch on their own assholes, they would never have left the house in the first place.
Agreed. There’s a time and place for anything.
Eyeball deep in your lady friend’s snatch is not the right time or place to drop a NIIIIICE!!!!. It kills the mood and I mean like right fucking now.
That’s just bad fucking timing.
I meant that in regards to Jack’s post. Not Peet’s.
God, i wish this was of better quality, but it might be illegal.

Loved Da Ali G show. Genious.
Ali G movie, sucked fuck all balls and shit smeared taint.
Borat, Haven’t laughed that hard at a movie…ever, I think.
Bruno, least favorite Ali G Show character, but got some of the best shit from his homophobic interview victims and vapid fasionista twats, soooo…
Later, folks.
{runs away}
I heard there was a 3 car durst up on highway 6379. Yep, this is a bad one. No survivors.
DDDDDDUUUUUURRRRSSSSSTTTTTT!!!!!
That’s not a show. This is a show…*does the ‘Ravishing Rick Rude’*
This program was made by the ABC, which is a tax-payer funded corporation in Australia, with both TV and radio stations. You can see a heap of clips here: [www.abc.net.au]
Oh, and as an Australia tax-payer I must say YOUR WELCOME AMERICA.
