Paul Hogan does Simon Wonder's Boring World

[vanessamcqueen11]

The Paul Hogan show was superb. Today's world is so often sad, pathetic, regressive, SOFTCOCK & unable to laugh at itself/no self-parody.

Great stuff. It's no longer the same, however, thanks to the sterile, politically correct nazism that's overtaken the world, including Australia. Fun memories, nonetheless.

[usfansw]

A bit heavy on the canned laughter

[Ivoryshoulder]

I bet the 'real" Simon Townsend really giggled at this!

[BELTED007]

I remember Paul Hogan when WORTV now UPN played his show late nights in the early 80's. Paul Hogan rules!

The United States has no culture and no haritage of its own Australia does and there is nothing in this world that intrigues me the most like Australia does. Australia somhow

inrigues me with such fascination and wonder and that it feels like I had been there before mybe a past life. "I LOVE AUSTRALIA" I am an Assie at hart evan though that I am an

American.

[keys201]

How do I become an Australian citezen and become a permanent resident of Australia I

would think it would be realy cool to live in

Australia. Away from the boring U.S. the most

boring place on Earth "United States" can anybody help me and tell me how to do that.

Hi,Keysie.

G'day from an Aussie.

I'm so glad you enjoy aussie culture and comedy.

If you're serious about wanting to live in Australia,I'd suggest 3 things:

1.Australia has a CHRONIC shortage of professionals eg in the medical profession.What do you do for a living? Yr line of work might be the very thing we need!

2.email the Australian Embassy in the USA and ask them for advice

3 Read Aussie emplyment web sites like seek dotcom & see if they have jobs you could apply for.

Good luck!

Stay away your NOT welcome. We are happy here without you :-)

@keys201 Hi Brandon, I read your comments on becoming an Aussie. I'm sorry to say this mate, but the Australia of the Paul Hogan Show, no longer exists. As a kid I watched Hoges and we all had a laugh with him and at ourselves. Back then Australia was about caring for one another and not taking life too seriously. I think you'll find that Australia has become very much like your USA. It's every man for himself and PC thugs run the show. People are becoming paranoid and hostile, sound familiar?

[JiminyKracker]

@CBR11X right on the money mate. Most Aussies don't dare to even express how they feel about the loss of their culture. Those that do, usually thrown in a disclaimer first: "I mean, I'm not racist, but..."

[aussiebluemax]

@CBR11X yep i second that

[keys201]

Hi I am Brandon Michael Keys I am an American and I love Australian comedy I am a huge Paul

Hogan fan. I wish I was born in Australia not

the United States I think it would be cool to

be an Australian. forget the United States who

cares about the U.S. I like Australia better.

Shakin' Stevens (not a man you want to stand next to in the urinal if you are wearing suede shoes..)- is not an "English rock star" he is Welsh...

[dreamyyak]

Correct! Iachyd Da!!

Kings must have been one of the shortest running soaps on television anywhere in the world, the promo is in the last two seconds of the clip.

[rossy7273]

funny bastard good old Aussie comedy it should be back on the box and remind us how to laugh at ourselves and not be so serious life is to short!

[eelsdoors]

bloody funny,that's what makes australia different.

[Daleser]

REEEAAALLLL FUNNNY

[blunty99]

Sheer Briiliance...who would of thought just twenty years after this was made we would no longer see performers of this calibre on TV. To be on TV these days you must need to have played a code of sport, or be a fucking cook, gardener, carpenter...or just a simple un talented fuckwit like Ben Dark.

Bring back the good ol days...it's time to go bullshit morons on TV.

[widiwati]

Shit yeah.

[blackwhimsy]

Simon Townsend was a journalist famous for going to jail for refusing the draft in the '60s.He thought up the idea of "Simon Townend's Wonder World" as a current affair show for kids.He wasn't the most charimatic host,tho'.Hoges' impersonation is dead on.

The Rod Stewart bit is ace too.

[thebigwalbowski]

It's a safe bet this part didn't make it onto the DVD release on account of music clearance issues. :-(
