Leo Wanker - classic Hoges' sketch comedy of the late 70s, alongside his drunk sketch - STUNG (using the Entertainer as music score). Bring it back - today's shows SUCK!
and ive always wanted a pair of the teams blue overalls. hes always blowing himself up. that idiot and looking so unscathered and trying to look oh so cool as if nothin has happened. love hoges leo
HAHA, I remember when they first aired this show on UK tv, It was essential viewing. I couldn't believe that they actually allowed a character called 'Wanker' on the TV, HAHA.
I'm so happy to see so many UK & US folks enjoy the Hoges.I somehow thought maybe a lot of the Aussie references would get lost on overseas audiences.I'm glad to be proved wrong!
Hoges rules.. I remember when they aired them in the UK first time round and it was my intro to Aussie culture.. Just got the DVD and glad to see the toaster he and Strop used is featured!! Best memory of Hoges that was...
The man hasn't really changed, he was and still is a funny barstard, just the rest of the world took him away from us, These shows were grouse, sometimes things are the way they were, when they were. They wouldn't be the same now, but looking back remind us of better days..
Personally,I feel that for an Aussie to dislike the Hoges of old is tantamount to treason.:-)
While it's true some aspects of the program have dated(the rampant chauvinism,the overt ocker humour),the basic kernel of excellent comedy can still be seen in the Hoges' of old.
To this day,in our house,when killing a cockroach or fly,we say
God,I loved Leo Wanker.There was always a guy with a fire extinguisher who drowned Leo in white stuff no matte what the stunt.Oh,for the days when Hoges was funny & not the facelifted wanker he is now.He RULED in the '70s.

Just brilliant - I love the fact they extinguish his balls after each stunt. Quickly followed by the Hoges great goofy (I'm okay) look.

No way, my dad got me into Hogan back in the 80's and I gotta say most of the Aussie comics I've seen are well funny!
For me though, Hoges is still the best.
Camelsarse 4 years ago
Aussies aren't really all that much different to the average Brit so nothing is lost on me.
I love these old Hoges shows. I taped about 8 hours of them on VHS back in the early '80s and my usual routine is to get pissed and watch Hoges.
The 'recent' DVD is also great.
