Newstopia E01 Part 1/3

[OrodesIII]

"Ringing off the hook" is an expression in the English language which no native speaker takes literally.  This star obviously confuses ignorance with wit.

[iinspectra]

Oh my God, this is brilliant. The Chris Walken segments are the best.

[danwood891]

im devo i never watched this show while it was on television... it would be the best show on tv atm

[Ashelia1256]

I really miss this show.

[dvscorp]

That's my old bong!

[EYEmusique]

Thank-you for posting this - not having had a TV for 2 years (it broke and there's really no point getting a new one) - we missed this show and very glad to be able to discover it here :-) .. BTW, does anyone recall the early 00s show on ABC, a situation comedy by Micallef based around a family law firm? We can't remember the name.

[setsutora215]

Is it Welcher and Welcher?

[EYEmusique]

Yes, that sounds right! Thank-you! ... I can't find any snippets on here though... maybe the ABC shop. :)

[scampc]

dood, get a TV tuner for your computer from about $50... u don't need a TV...

[cyanotic1]

Welcher and Welcher

[marsflamesniper]

Micallef is hot! Gotta love him! <3

[noobwithagun]

this guy is brilliant.

[stitchyman]

Thanks for the post! i didn't even know about this show for the first few weeks.. it's good to be able to see older episodes.

[lancedeboyle]

thanx heaps for posting this, i missed most of it when it was aired, great stuff. micalleff is doing great satire again, far better than the chaser's recent efforts which have started to become repetitve and self-derivitave, much as i used to enjoy their work

[tolchock1984]

Micallef is great because he actually understands the way things work, so he does great satire while somehow blending it perfectly with the purely non-sensical

[kingafrokyle]

Absolutely hillarious!!!

[DanielArmitt]

How u manage to get rid of the SBS logo? It because of the big line down the bottom

[toddkw]

I approve of this show.

[poopooyummy]

Yeah, Brass Eye and The Day Today is so much better. But Shaun Micallef is definately one of Australia's only real comedic talents. Those Chaser arseholes couldn't pull off a joke if their lives depended on it. They rely on dare comedy which is about as clever as school boys farting in each others faces

[addyuk69]

a total rip of "the day today" (and this guy is certainly no chris morris), but as good as comedy gets in australia. shits all over the chaser.

[Marauder501]

I'd say The Chaser are better than this in some ways, this takes a more seroius tone while most of the chaser stuff is much more fun, the closest The Chaser have come to doing stuff like this is CNNN and The Chaser News Alert

[DanielArmitt]

NOTHING will ever beat the chaser. You think this guy will ever get 10m away from george bushes hotel dressed as osama bin laden? Didnt think so.

[missile089]

Christopher walken voice LOL this show is great!

[3allnamestaken]

that girls on amphets

[crunkopolis]

chris walken is a great reporter

[buzzzmeg]

excellent show.

[nickwalnut]

Witty, wam-bam humour. You've got to be listening to catch all the jokes. Absolute gold!

[way2funky4u2]

its good

[defileralpha]

great

[penfoldao]

Guys, do yourselves a favour. Watch The Day Today and just see how much this show rips it off

[Kopta1kTV]

fuck off dickhead

[b0b1919]

ianucci and micallef have two completely different senses of humour. it may be a similar format, but i don't see that as a bad thing

[TheFlash123]

This show is so awesome, I just wished for Shaun's sake that more people would watch it

[barrybumhead]

thankyou! been OS, and only caught my 1st episoe last night. Micallef!!

[1x618]

Shauns Chris Walken accent made me fall off my chair and onto my floor this week.. It was that good man. I am so glad I understand his humour, because it is one of Australia's finest (and always has been, but more so for intellectuals).

[sammyfinbar]

"I am so glad I understand his sense of humour"?

Can you be any more pretentious? Are you prasisng Shaun Micallef or are you praising yourself for being so smart to understand it. I also love Shaun Micallef but I like him because he is a good comedian, not because I am a smart person. Seriously, if you didn't understand it...then we'd have a problem. You weirdo!

[DontEatPixels]

i think 1x is praising Shaun for making more intellectual comedy shows, than the average. who knows, a lot of youtube comment posters are quite pretentious - but since he/she loves Shaun i'm going to let it slide :)

[greypilgrim26]

omg - I only just heard of this cause I'm living overseas now but this is ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!!!!! Thank you so so so much for putting this up!!! Yay! Micallef's back!!

[bambi086]

of course it's dry humour.. that's micallef's style! LOVE THIS SHOW!

[fallenrosemedia]

love this! I'm a big fan of all his stuff, and this is great. Yes his humour is dry, but that's what is so great about it! He's so different, and odd. Just great! Only thing I feel could change is maybe a studio audience. Shaun is one of those comedians who does better with an audience. It would also fill up some of the empty spaces between jokes.

[Liquidicespace]

Who's the hot chick in the show? She's hot... Thought Shawn look kinda like Keith Olbermann... Anyways, great show, have my support!

[setsutora215]

Which one are you talking about?

[chaoticjesus]

Kate mcgyver?

[Liquidicespace]

yeh, I found out on the web that her name's kat stewart... I think that's her. Is she the hotest one?

There was a real hot chick that caught my eye on the last episode, and I think that's her... not entirely sure though.

[Ninyae1]

I loved last weeks sketch with the journo unable to enunciate the Fijian PM's name.

[MACfoo16]

no way skazabee. It's the funniest show on SBS, besides south park and maybe pizza.

[skazabee]

OMG This sucks... Its soo Dry... SBS Kills Micallef

[SeraphSilhouette]

They have better episodes.

[0ganbay]

WINNN!

[napalmnacey]

Thanks so much for posting these! It's awesome of you!

[jahpraisetheherb]

thanks for the post

[Chocki6]

Thanks heaps for posting this footage! Ive missed the first two episodes.. but seeing this now makes me want to watch it next Wednesday! Its very clever comedy, i like it!

[fdhfggfhfhgfh]

thank you for posting these

[fabercastell3]

How'd you get the episode? Since they don't give out the podcasts like the ABC.

[setsutora215]

Some nice person lifted the episode off the SBS site (where you can view the last ep online), so I torrented it off them.
