The Chasers War on everything!

[Reply #80 on:]

That's probably the plus side that they will most likely be making another show, but I'm still not happy about their cut-down last season of the war on everything.

[Reply #81 on:]

This is good news. They've got to move on from generic satire, it's getting stale. The War has been hit and miss from the start, and this season there has been a lot more misses than hits.

They should return to doing something with a narrower focus, similar in style to CNNNN and their election specials. They were better than the current show.

[Reply #82 on:]

Yes. Making my 1000th post in the "The Chaser's War On Everything" thread feels right...

From Dominic Knight's twitter:

Second last ep of the War ever tonight, folks. And here's an exclusive sneak preview: there will be jokes about MasterChef.

From The Chaser's twitter:

Second last War ever tonight at 9 on ABC1. Look out for the return of an old friend...

Also from The Chaser's twitter:

Thanks for the requests, but there are no tickets left for the last show - sorry about that.

I was listening to the radio and heard that people are pissed about the sketch to do with the seeing eye dog, when I saw that one I just knew somebody would get a hair up their ass when any sane person can understand that sketch was making fun of the drunk idiots not the dogs.

[Reply #84 on:]

Are you serious?! Wow, it's like people actually want to get offended so they read into things way too much.

[Reply #85 on:]

I could bet anything that is 100% true.

[Reply #86 on:]

I thought the most hilarious part of last episode was Chas on Romper Room

[Reply #87 on:]

I read on page 100 of saturdays herald sun that Chris will be doing some kind of documentaries that will be out in august.

From Dominic Knight's Twitter:

Sure, the Dancing With The Stars judges cruelly bagged a blind guy's dancing - but at least they didn't write a sketch about his guide dog.

Edit: And while we're doing the "From [insert person from The Chaser's name here]'s Twitter":

From Julian Morrow's Twitter:

Just finished the final ever episode of The Chaser's War on Everything ... very tasteless .. worried the ABC may suspend us again

[Reply #89 on:]

Can't wait to see it tonight.

[Reply #90 on:]

Twas a decent last ep.

[Reply #91 on:]

I can't believe it's over, a really great last show, if I do say so myself.

[Reply #92 on:]

I thought it was a really good end for the show if not a sad one.

[Reply #93 on:]

Sad one?
Did it end with an exceptionally funny skit to end all skits?

[Reply #94 on:]

I meant sad 'cause it was the last episode. Why didn't you watch it huh? HUH?!

[Reply #95 on:]

Ah, Jezzy, it was the message! Emotional speech about the ending, however the Chaser would probably spend most of the time on funny things, not stuffity stuff.
Everyone thinks its sad 'cause it was the last episode, and yes, but anything else IN that episode which made it sad.

Now that its ended, how will you cope without your weekly funnies?

[Reply #96 on:]

I suppose I'll just watch the other shows that I usually watch.

[Reply #97 on:]

I'll sit in the corner while rocking and sucking my thumb.

[Reply #98 on:]

Until Chaser returns in another form, right?

[Reply #99 on:]

I'll sit in the corner while rocking and sucking my thumb.

The Chaser will always be with you and all of us... In here.

[Reply #100 on:]

100th reply!
Also, Chaser is TEH BEST. I would make a meme, but Jezzem shoudl do ti. He is a treu chaesr fan.

[Reply #101 on:]

Sorry double post.

Did anyone know that after the tech talk skit, everyone in the audience are the supermarket lady?

[Reply #102 on:]

OMG! NO! Are you serious?! I totally didn't know that! They did it in such a subtle way it wasn't even noticeable! (lots of exclamation marks heighten the sarcasm)

[Reply #103 on:]

second.

[Reply #104 on:]

But how did they do that?

[Reply #105 on:]

*facepalm*

[Reply #106 on:]

They didn't cut the image it was too realistic.

[Reply #107 on:]

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone knew what episode it this is;

They were making fun of TodayTonight of something similar, and Chas was shovelling dirt from one pile to another. There was something in TodayTonight that made no sense at all, about smart investment or something, and the reporter was using dirt to represent money. As Chas was shovelling dirt from the big pile to the small pile, and he said something like "this is the size of a normal person's brain" and he pointed to the big pile "and this is the size of <reporter's name>'s brain" and he pointed to the little pile. "Every time you watch one of <reporter's name>'s reports, a bit of your brain gets thrown away", and he shovelled the dirt from the big pile onto the ground.

I tried to find the episode for ages, and i didn't find anything, so i was just wondering if anyone knew.

Have you tried looking here?

[Reply #109 on:]

Double post bump!

Not actually related to The Chaser's War On Everything, but we don't have a general Chaser thread so:

Yes We Canberra

[Reply #110 on:]

Yes! Chasers back!

[Reply #111 on:]

Oh good, i thought when the announced the gruen nation, we might just be getting that instead of a chaser election show.

[Reply #112 on:]

Ay, canne wait!

[Reply #113 on:]

Who besides me and Freako watched Yes We Canberra! tonight?

Chaser election shows are always great and I loved the Twitter jokes at the bottom of the screen.

[Reply #114 on:]

It was OK. I'm sure it'll get better as the campaign goes on.

Gruen was better.

[Reply #115 on:]

I missed last night's episode last night but got to see the repeat tonight and I thought it was decidedly funnier than last week's episode.

[Reply #116 on:]

I loved it! And that theme song is funky.

[Reply #117 on:]

My favourite part of this week's Yes We Canberra had to be The Burning Issue. But then, any time they call Bob Francis is hilarious.

Edited for annoying typo.

[Reply #118 on:]

HAAAH. I liked the Libral "ad".

The show hasn't finished yet though.

[Reply #119 on:]

Craig's "Yeah but none of them were lateline" line in reply to "I've had my nights" was hilarious.
