you're brothers an Ironman....you're mums an ironman!

[pgbrown]

"Jeez Mr. T's pulled out!"

"He's doing 'Othello' on the Fairstar for 6 months"

Champagne Comedy

[mgo26]

I laughed for several minutes at the David Stratton review.

[HSAdestroy]

One of the best Aussie sketched ever. Period.

[hill9868]

Sure you've got your odd visionary like Warrick Capper. I still laugh at that line and this sketch was made 17 years ago! A clever man, that Mr Martin.

[johnbass75]

Judith Lucy is hot!!

[violimo]

Come third like a real Australian. hahaha

[TheUrbancoyote]

No-ones ever conducted an extensive geological study of the Bathurst and Lower Gippsland regions and lived to tell the tale!

[sixstringer82]

Tony Martin is the best comedian in Australia Period!!

[pgbrown]

@sixstringer82 Even if he is a Kiwi!

[GiacomoJimmi]

She went down for the count. Still cracks me up after all these years.

[OzDuker]

I still use the phrase "bugger the institute!" much to the general confusion of others!!!

[samorasquid]

"Geez, I dunno where this insensitive thing comes from. Stevo, can you get that fat-chick to bring me another bottle of homo-water?" Best line ever.

[wackycamper32]

If you're like me and born in the last 25 years or so, check out the doco in the cinemas right now 'Not Quite Hollywood'. It's like it's copied this but is serious.

[emomatt77]

I'm pretty sure you mean "Auteur"

[Getagoeyupya]

I reckon Mangels, has got legs.

[TimChuma]

Damn 160 character limit on the Telstra HeroMessage! I wanted to send the whole Bermagui Bronze quote to them!

[hayesy316]

What about 1974's 'Filipino Furburger'?

[juzzen]

"the bermagui bronze" is still a family joke. LOVE IT.

[Axeman055]

I think Tony Martin is a comic genius.

[Towmotar]

".....let me just say one thing, the film industry here is F*cked, apart from the odd visionary like your Warrick Capper, it's a shot bird...."

That and "She went down for the Count", two of the funniest line ever.

[ShaneSamsa]

She went down for the count. This whole sketch killed me the first time I saw it---and the second. When I was an extra on the 2004 Chaser Decides I actually wrote a quote from this sketch on the (that's madness) 'Sturt' part of the wall. I don't think my fellow extras got it. :(

[Dicko112]

Bloody Liberals

[ligeynuts]

So good to see the Bermagui Bronze again.

Cheers for uploading this. I wish I could get hold of all the episodes of the late show. The Best Bits DVD is ok but it doesn't feature any of the more silly current event type sketches they did.

I miss the analysis of Ruper Holmes - Pina Colada song...

[Garth151]

its also on the back of the olden days vhs! Easily the funniest pisstake on Australian film to date, its just fucking gold.

[Swellnet]

It's at the end of the Bad Eggs DVD as well.

[peterustinovbury]

It was on the Olden Days VHS, I can tell you that... I bought it back in the day...

[kgrinham]

your mum's an ironman!

[l00pes]

Bugger the institute Jock.

[Supermercado]

Sturt was a good film. But it was no Strzlecki

[l00pes]

well i had read it on champagneycomedy[dot]com someone had a preview of the dvd and said it was on there if it isn't i'll change the description.

[hill9868]

@l00pes It isn't but its on as an extra on both the Bad Eggs and BargeArse/Olden Days dvds.

[cyckath]

Sooo... it's on the Barge/Olden DVD or just assumption based on VHS tapes?
