A Current Affair: Chasing The Chaser

[kinkongization]

at least ACA will take a joke: TT will get or worked up if they lay a finger against them

[MINMfreak72]

Wow they have good ratings because of their witty product, not the time slot. And they are one of the most intelligent (apec security) and brave groups of people ever because spill out the hard truth then most/all journalist. And the best thing is, they are not sellouts. :)

[siracabacajr]

"Timeslot, (stupid giggle) thats really helping them i think going from a friday night timeslot to a wednesday slot i don't want to take anything away from the show but i think thats really helping them" BAHAHAHA NO SHIT YOU MORON!

[tjwhalan]

I bet ACA thaught this would stop people from watching it

[pyromanizak]

"They are the hottest comics, but will they sell out?" Looks like NO! You fat whore, unlike you commercial bastards the chaser actually have values.

[XxXSeether]

miss the chasers

[twoscoreandfour]

Hilarious. Some chick reckons a late Friday night timeslot is easier than Wednesday night, the most competitve time in Austrlian TV

[Jaihadist]

Go the Chaser

[falenangel]

2:21 "timeslot?"

yes you're the timeslut

[falcon96kickass]

CNNNN and The Chasers Are the BEST, BEST EVER

[cbfdxbxsb]

chaser wont go commercial because then too many people would recognise them which would destroy the show

[WesThorburn]

Personally, i hate both Today Tonight and ACA, their shit doesn't even qualify as news. Both shows are very cheap to produce and they somehow manage to get about 2 and a half hours of it on prime-time tv each week.

[hedlandboi]

@WesThorburn i agree with you, the stories they make up are absolute bullshit that hardly affects anyone and they blow shit out of proportion all the time

[Mcstooger]

@hedlandboi and its always one sided

[apgb8]

@hedlandboi fool

[higatez]

stop trying to act like u and they chaser r cool, they have a segment dedicated to bagging u, meh i guess it stil aint as bad a TT

[Suckfest83]

LMAO West-Coke Eagles. I think what ACA were aiming for was to try and shake the audiences faith in their 'heroes'... I don't think it worked.

[Beachedizbru]

One thing atleast ACA dont say as much shit about them as Today tonight with their bullshit but ACA is still trying to get ratngs and shit

[DualShooter]

actually looked like a puff piece to me... WTF?

[filmfanatic99]

I hate A Current Affair's sensationalist journalism.

[hardrain08]

chaser rocks!

[rugrats1212]

lmfao tracey loves em u can hear her laugh but then pretends to be all serious

[Weho2]

is it me or is he video like 3-4 secs behind the audio?

[nadsjaya]

Current Affair is looking for ratings by reporting about the Chaser.

I don't think there are too many loyal A Current Affair fans out there?

[minormurals]

this is just aca way of getting back at em

it not working lol

[unisysa3]

they declined!!! haha good on em

[badluck1986]

the chaser would never boycott a situation like that, the fact is thaey would have eaten them for breakfast, aca is lying

[dexantiprejudist]

The boringdispatcher said this video was crap

[RiotOnBroadway]

I think this was actually an attempt at a puff piece.

[mdarcyoconnor]

Of course the timeslot has helped them but they earned it by being good. what an idiot!

[sstdog]

ACA are just so stupid and stuck up. I mean really they are such losers, so desperate.

[RebelLeia]

Theyre my heroes xD

[sezarah101]

"...and we approached the Chaser to be apart of the story but they declined" HAHA loooserrrs

[Spiritfa1l]

They probably wouldn't want to be associated with Channel 9. Who would?

[sezarah101]

ahaha exactly, especially a current affair that they bag the shit out of lol

[icnfde]

"For the past few years they've been hidden away at the ABC"

And still killing Channel 9 in the ratings, what does that say about the 9 network?

[mattchoo89]

as if the chaser would ever go commercial

[antzo8]

hahaha they declined to be in the story. NOBODY wants to be on ACA :)

[ned00001]

The Chasers would never be allowed to do half the stuff they do on a commercial channel.

[devilchick326]

chaser better not leave abc

it would be kinda stupid with adds

[TheNewFaceOfFailurex]

Really do hope they stay with the ABC.

Although, I would like to think that they are intelligent enough to realise that the commercial channels are full of shit..

ACA and TodayTonight run the stupidest stories ever.

Love the chaser!!

[GurjezzBoii123]

lmao u gotta love the Chaser team!

[aoluo]

rofl ACA are tards

[bizadfar]

out of sync rubbish

[mounlolol]

these shows r fucking dickheads. cant take humor, so launch thier own scare campagns to have the chaser shut down!

[famguyfanboy1]

the reason they are funny is because they do things to people who dont know who they are and dont recognise them if they new who they were it wouldnt be half as funny so stay on ABC

[MimiGilmoreSnFan]

if they went to commerical televison it would suck1!!!! NOOOO!!! it happened to kath and kim, its not funny anymore! if chaser moved to it would suck! they wouldnt be able to make fun of the average australian because, they would be the audience!!! They are awsome, i just wish ppl would stop watching, and that they wernt so successful, so they didnt have the possibility to go to primetime commerical tv!!!!!!

[helgelen]

Current affair and today tonight are probably really desperate for some sort of comeback after all the Chaser teasing. It's not really working at all.

[dovertime16]

fuck you channel 9

[BoltIsGOD]

hope they stick with ABC

[Mcstooger]

yeah hopefully they stick with ABC i agree with apmbus and fishgul69 they wldn't be able to do what they do on ABC if they went commercial

[amosBSHS]

they forgot to mention paying out theyre shows like TT and ACA

[fishgul69]

going commercial would be their coffin, everyone knows that doing that has more of a chance to flop---and besides, some viewers would hate it b/c it feels as though they're selling out

[jnbxdh]

please reload video, the sound dosent match their voices.

[gardencupboard]

haha good on current affair though that's not gonna make them any less of a target...

best show on TV

[himturbo]

like a kung fu movie lol sinc is out

[theterminator69]

omg out of sync

[apmbus]

I think they deserve to make the big bucks, however, I do agree that they probably couldn't be successful on a commercial station. Not because they're "moral crusaders", but because they wouldn't be allowed to mock advertisers on the channel they air on. Thats why being on the ABC works - there are no ads.

[Tim8336]

the sounds out of sinc

[vitie72]

but if current affair got put off the air at least 1 quater of the show would be ruined

[amereolin]

Of course they aren't moral crusaders. I said it's "against what they base their show on", not what their moral beliefs are.

[amereolin]

The Chasers would not move to channels 7 or 9...it would be totally against what they base their show on.

[amillionminutes]

Geez, you're acting like they're moral crusaders against anti-commercialism. They're just comedians.

[aensilysh]

we've been watching these guys for a couple of years. they are so funny and ballsy!!!!

[saturncancer]

To get the gist of what channel 9 is saying, go straight to 4:42 "it would be nice to see them go commercial, just so they can make some money" That all that matters, isn't it?

[tooelectrifying]

gosh the way some of those people talk it's as if the chaser boys were terrorists or something

[corrion1]

its funny becase after he said "we will give this picture all the respect it deserves" they muted it.

[rednut27]

I'm the biggest fan of the chaser ever. Current Affair is freakin stupid... they need to learn when to stop inviting criticism.

[jewggers]

I:::::::::::::::LOVE::::::::::­::::::::::The Chaser. I'm American so some of the AUSSIE political bits aren't AS funny to me since it doesn't hit home, but I love it still.

[TeacherforLife]

good job not going on ACA. it wouldve risen their ratings if the Chaser were on the program.

[vcval]

Yea the chaser is going to a commercial it worked wanders for good news week hummm what is Paul McDonald doing now??? O yea channel 10 chewed off his balls and spat it out and then what we got was a popular TV show with crap for 40min because there regular show was not PC enough for the sponsors and the board members or the channels code stay ABC2 there will be commercials on it soon enough look at SBS28 !!

[jadziaezri]

it was a nice interview

[dreadrath]

aca and tt together don't have higher rattings than the chaser thats wh they hate the chases

[fabercastell3]

well it's sad to say they do have the higher ratings those current affairs programs. I mean they're stuck right after the news on the commercial channels.

[pirateXpoppet]

i hate it when old farts analyse the chaser. but i love feeling all smug, coz i've been watching since CNNNN!

[Ultstadt]

they should get a cable deal, that way i could watch them on TV instead of clips on you tube. I love these guys, they are awesome.

[CaReFrEe01]

yeahhh notice how some of the jokes they put in of the chaser were their jokes on Todaytonight but they didnt put any of their jokes of a current affair in:P haha

[JCYK90]

hahaha so so true those wnakers

[DannyCareysBitch]

ACA and TT best example of Fasicst, Brainwashing Tabloid Jouranlism in the world

see i can use hyperbole too!

[eprisband]

ive been watching the chaser since cnnnn, and in telling you if they go to a comercial network im NOT tuning in....

[x2fur]

Stay on ABC boys!!

[darknessangel1993]

I dont think the Chasers will go commercial. They are always making fun of Ch 9 and Ch 7. If they did though I would stop watching it. On commercial stations once a show gets popular they put in more ad's than the TV show itself.

[mycosys]

the chaser's response

v=PhyM47HRwkY

god i love these guys :D

[kmank2]

LOL people please, this is just a thinly veiled shot at the chaser boys by a current affair, ie. implying that they may sell out. The vast majority of chaser viewers are far more intelligent than the knuckle draggers who watch ACA, as a result if the chaser boys did sell out their audience would see the hypocrisy and stop watching en masse. It wont happen, and the only reason this story was run is because it was the only way ACA could have a crack at the chaser. Down with ACA.

[sammysamsamtimmy]

if they were on 9, how would they make fun of them? altough, they already sometimes make fun of abc...

[MatthewLindon]

they make fun of the ABC... but never in a cruel way

[imamSnake280]

greatest guys in the world

[xXXgRaCi3xXx]

Aww, they are my heroes!

=]

[markhancoz]

Gotta love the Chaser!!!!

[rahime4]

hahah chasers rule

[FayeValentine1]

The day the Chaser boys sell out is the day I stop watching. Well...maybe...

But I don't think any other station would have the balls to let the boys do what they do, they way they do it.

It is kinda funny that ACA did this story tho...givent how highly respected they are by the Chaser (lol).

[silverfrost87]

Don't worry, go to chaser's website and watch the episode where they bagg the shit out of chanel 9's offer. They didn't sell out :)

p.s-look closely at the studio and notice how it resembles Rove's one.

[JBT002]

The Chaser can laugh at themselves, if they went commercial it wouldn't affect what they would be willing to do... And any commercial station that wanted the ratings wouldn't stop them.

[aznmapler97]

man, i know they will never go to commercial tv. everyone knows that!

[ChasersRok]

ahhh the boys absolutely NAILED the come-back to this! ha its funny that ACA failed to mention that the chasers have an entire segment dedicated to pointing out how crappy it is!

[crabbyoldcow]

there wouldn't be much point for the chaser to go to go to channel nine because that would defeat the whole purpose of what the chaser stands for: pointing out the many flaws of commercial tv.. luv the chaser for that very reason!

[CatrionaG]

What a bunch of tossers at ACA!! Good luck any commercial station that tries to buy them out, the show would go down like sack of potatoe if it went commercial. The Chaser is great cause they're no bullshit like these guys and point out exactly what everyone everyone's thinking.

[OnceWasRStrathfield]

grrrr... is there another upload of this because i cannot watch this when it's out of sync. Sorry, I know it's petty and pathetic - but it's too difficult for me.

[Sunnycoast07]

its on the current affair section of ninemsn

[OnceWasRStrathfield]

oh great, i'll check it out!

[diefagemo]

the best is that Andrew said maybe ACA should have a show called what have we learnt from the chaser.

[Sunnycoast07]

when did he say that?

[josbub]

ohhh nooo not channel nine..that channel sux big time..Id stop watching too many ad breaks and itll probably be deemed politically incorrect..please stay with Abc...."la..la..la...

[nzoz1983]

Please do something about the tracking

[Migwelion]

what suck holes!

[BlackbeltMage]

I'd stop watching if they went to Nine. Selling out is a shameful act of the highest degree, but for Chaser, who go against everything in those networks... if Channel Nine bought out Chaser, 'What Have We Learnt From Current Affairs This Week' will become 8 solid minutes of TT dissing. k,nothx.

[Kimbo1aine]

Oh, The Chaser, PLEASE DON'T SELL TO CRUDDY NINE/SEVEN/TEN. PUH-LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE­. Let's just hope they make fun of this next Wednesday. The smirk on Tracy Grimshaw's face--I just want to slap it off of her.

[Sunnycoast07]

no doubt the chasers will wipe the smirk off her face this wednesday. I have no idea what aca was thinking with that "report" since they are basically asking people to watch their humiliation on wednesday.

[Nickjaa]

lol so true. and they were horribly humiliated in the end!

[Boeneger]

i would probably stop watching it if they went to 7/9. its the chaser team and i could see them messing with there chemestry

[jay3088]

Thanks heaps for posting!

[thacosmicjester]

looks like channel 9 wants to make a bid on the chaser, hope they stay on the abc

[Leiraproductions]

ack! The audio is screwed
