The Chaser ban

Posted in Uncategorized by Ray Dixon on 28 April, 2011

The Chasers - living proof that Aussie TV comedy is crap.

Quite frankly, all this fuss being made over the royal wedding bores me to tears.

HOWEVER, I have no problem with the royal family’s decision to impose a media ban on the proposed so-called satirical coverage of the event by Australia’s cringeworthy & humourless bores known as The Chasers, because:

.

a) It’s their event and their property:

The royals are not the first celebrities to restrict media access to a wedding, in fact a lot of celebrities only allow coverage by those outlets who have paid big bucks for the exclusive rights (which is really a crass way of commercialising your own wedding but a right nonetheless).

b) The Chasers are not funny:

 They’re just plain ignorant and insulting. This ban couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of under-grad, humourless, pseudo intellectual, private schoolboy type prats.

And Morrow’s pathetic letter just proves what an immature idiot he really is.

    I like the Chaser, as I have a very puerile sense of humour ;)

    However what they’ve been denied access to is the footage from the BBC (I think), so fair enough. If they sent their own cameraman to cover it, there wouldn’t be a problem.

    What’s funny about The Chasers, Rox? I find their style pathetic. They only ever go for soft, obvious targets. There’s no originality and they’re all about crashing big news events for their own publicity. I’m yet to hear one funny line from these goons.

    I used to love their songs. One of them – can’t remember which – is very musically talented. I think it was the one where they said everyone’s good guy once they die.

    Oh yeah, I remember that. I’d give that a pass … just.
