Shaun Micallef - Polite Distances

[NorthernKnaa]

Haha love the ending.

[dark4krad]

Hahahaha! Funnny! xD

[IStevieI]

hey atheists, if god is not real then how come the first episode of all shows is called "Pilot".

Checkmate, cunts.

[ElSaltyChicken]

@IStevieI *facepalm* > your logic

[UnfoldablePages]

Omfg, quit laughing at shit that's not funny stupid ass crowd.

[bv90andy]

@UnfoldablePages but... it is funny

[tommilo11]

@bv90andy He has a point. 'what is a polite distance?' commence tinned laughter 'hahahaha'

[bv90andy]

@tommilo11 Well, seeing as it's a comedy show, approaching the subject "what is a polite distance?" Immediately makes you think of the situation, and how it is funny. When I first read the title "Shaun Micallef - Polite Distances" I immediately giggled inside.

Who cares, it's not original content just being shared.

[0BornofDesire0]

For me it depends how much the other person is carrying.

[wadad17]

Oh shit that was funny.

[nathan33445]

I hate when u hold one of double doors open and people decide to go out the closed door. they do it at my school, it would be packed and i may hold the door for the first person and then the second person decides to go to the other door.

[MrWow12]

British comedy... so stale

[42kavi42]

@MrWow12 I would be willing to put money on you being american. Evidence: can't tell British from Australian.

[lilmisshawna]

@42kavi42 I'm American and I know Shaun Micallef is Australian. Is your mind blown?

[Stickrazyinsane]

@MrWow12 I think americans practically "invented" stale humor. This is funny, dumbass. Maybe it's just out of your league. p.s. I'm american and will get out of this stupid country as soon as possible.

[mistawankas]

@Stickrazyinsane Cool opinion. Now heres mine. Get the fuck out immediately. We do not want over opinionated, scumbags like yourself in our country anyway. Don't bother going to Europe or Australia either. They will not accept you.

[HollowedAizen]

I always do the phantom push if with a lot of people.

[mrjamespage]

don't u hate when u hold the door open, then another comes, then another.

[VertigaDesignMEDIA]

this whole talent needs to be recognised thing is just stupid.

[brooksguillory]

@VertigaDesignMEDIA You sound intelligent.

[MegaEpictroll]

@brooksguillory my mum said I was the smartest person in primary school

[GuitarJunkie]

@VertigaDesignMEDIA You're an idiot.

[aahxzen]

@VertigaDesignMEDIA you're mad cause you have no talent?

[jeaniebaby001]

would be interesting to match distance to income, gender, race, etc. ;)

[GeorgiaAndFez]

Glad that Tom Milsom favourited this, it's brilliant.

[Checkingokop]

Even though this is hilarious, it is absolutely true! No wonder this is coming from Australians, they know they comedy to reality ratio. Australia for super power!

[Zeldanon]

I have totally held the door open for someone at too far of a distance to be comfortable, but it was a women, so it all turned out right in the end.

[13243546abcdef]

i love shaun micallef - why do i not see him more often? :(

his humour is always so intellectually stimulating in one way or another. well, it gets you thinking. unlike other bland jokes i hear getting thrown all over the place on aussie tv :(

[SteffeBNL]

What is a polite distance?

-HAHAHAHAHA

>what.jpg

[GrayFoxGrayFox]

PHANTOM POLITENESS. LOL

[AstroCakeSA]

What a sociopath.

[POOPTURTLE]

Poor Elton John. :(

[ScottJackson117]

Does anybody know where I can get a Shaun Micallef Dictionary?

[barticus04]

@TheBurzummaniac Makes me proud to be Australian !!

[VerySpecialAgentLD]

17 people found the door locked from the other side

[zghvbn1]

very good :)

[benvezina2]

Phantom politeness! Bahahahha!

[Eliketi]

the 17 people who disliked this have probably never had the door kept open for them

[AlbosNoggins]

17 people would find the door locked from the other side!!

[VWGolfz]

hahaha, i like this

[TrueMusou]

it's funny cause it's ture

[latenightlogic]

hi this is my favourite micallef skit

[PanayotiProductions]

Elton John isn't really ugly. He just thinks he is therefor everyone else does. It's apparent in the way he composes himself.

[poppinfresh101]

He is such a funny man.

[OOZiTen]

lmao

[joeltopgun]

Classic Micallef :)

[Mark23lo]

GOLD! Micallef is an unrecognized genius!

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

hahahahaa this is so true!!!!!

Shaun is a genius!!

[jafoosy]

Shaun Micallef is excellent

[LizzieLass]

Sean Micallef is a largely un-recognised genius.

I'm peeved that his show "Newstopia" isn't around anymore, and that he's reduced to doing the "...Your Generation" thingy.

-I think it's a sad statement on how dumb the general Aussie public is, that such a talent as his gets such little recognition.

-not to mention a real shame...

[campex]

in all honesty I didn't find Newstopia as entertaining as The Pogram. Yes, Your Generation sucks, but at least he gets his occasional witicisms thrown in there

[funkyluap]

@LizzieLass he did win most popular presenter at the logies for the generation show - thats something atleast!

[pronto355]

@LizzieLass That’s what happens when Australian TV is bombarded with "reality TV" and game shows, feed your audience a steady diet of crap and sooner or later the majority will forget that some people are capable of writing talented programs

[wesg77]

i'd so forgotten how much i knew this guy ruled ,

a torrent hunting i will go , wish me luck peeps

[koshenko]

LOL!!

[chasiubaau]

Legend.

[SilverSwami]

theres not enough of shaun!

[marcbeto]

true, sooo true

[Sootette]

An all-time favourite!

[ShadowedValleys]

lets kill everyone we know, its the only way the idiots will never succeed !!!

right LokiNTB!!!!!! Right on!!!

[kittox2ya]

haha only Micallef would think about making a sketch about polite distances!! Love him!

[latenightlogic]

Despite this being arguably his best clip, there are even bigger laughs when wathing some clips of 'Micallef Tonight'. I've watched newstopia almost every episode and it fails in terms of humor to get near the heights reached by 'the micallef p(r)ogram(me)' and 'micallef tonight'. Of course they are all very different shows... i guess i just prefer variety shows better. Shauno won an aria recently for his tonight program.. im interested to see all of it. by the way who are you fishythingy?

[takeachancex]

Omg this is hilarious ! Love the bit about elton john at the end LOL !!!! x x

[latenightlogic]

I do very much enjoy this clip. Shaun is so much like me. Everytime i want to introduce someone to Micallef, I always copy the url of this page and send it to them. Everytime i do, there is a favourable responce. It's a slightly surreal sketch (like most of his work) but definatley more mainstram. Quite clever and with bullseye comic value. A great example of the humor on this show.

What do you think?

[fishythingy8888]

LOL thanks latenightlogic for introducing this to me. it = awesome

[AttackMyAss]

Actually, yes it is. You might be too immature to appreciate it.

Go watch Jackass or something.

[Cwmbran1984]

I love the bit about Elton John!!! XD XD XD

[RemarkableSongs]

Hilarious, it's the psychology of door usage.

[KitFallapart]

Elton John would have to be travelling at the speed of sound to even enter the 2 foot grey area. And even then, would probably find the door locked from the other side. Hahaha

[rachelcakes1985]

"Phantom politeness." LOL

One of my fav sketches - I think I saw it first on Full Frontal, but who knows?

[mesCheerios]

It was done more than once? I never watched Full Frontal but i remember seeing this on the Micallef Programme.

[alikill]

Ohhh GOLD!

[muddwell]

you serious ? that was funny shit and youre a stupid fuckhead.

[hubertfarmbuckle]

That just shows the inteligents level of a Micallef viewer, I watched it again... it wasnt funny, it was a boring observation. I think its you thats the stupid fuckhead, the only person that is stupider than you would be texantom56 if he seriously thinks its 'one of the funniest sketches ive seen' now that guy must be a complete looser.

[CUGKS]

Well since you're attacking the intelligence or 'inteligents' as you say it, make sure you spell correctly and use appropriate grammar you fucking idiot!

Micallef rules!!

[hubertfarmbuckle]

and you are even dumber still... suck me off

[LokiNTB]

Childish... clearly you have become crestfallen after being so brutally slandered. Also, you quoted sum1 of saying its the best sketch theyve ever seen.... Note that that is a personal opinion? See what youve done there? Made an ass out of yourself again, thinking that his opinion must apply to your own. THINK BEFORE YOU POST BAD COMMENTS! And then you can think before you post a comment at all, no1 cares what you think

[mudchair16]

Funny as hell!!!...and kinda true

[jfrancishoward]

rofl

[texantom56]

One of the funniest comedy sketches I've seen.

[muddwell]

[TheMetallicatz]

YES, i LOVE his impersonation of peter cundall, same with his impersonation of Billy Connoly

[thesteveus]

Classic!!, I love the dead-pan delivery coupled with the Elton John photo.......

[luzzu889]

[eleKtriK676]

Very True

[Sketchmen]

well, this is from his tv show on ABC... and then channel 9 gave him a show, but it failed... so ya know.
