  • @MrBreemer your the dumb one faggot,you dont even realise this is a skit from a comedy show,i bet your american

  • Real aussie politicians are funnier and dumber than these guys! Just have a look at the footage of Julia Gillard being towed away by her bodyguard, hilarious!!

  • Argh what an idiot. Wow even I knew that was a comedy sketch and I'm an "Aussie".

  • This comedy sketch is still going on today, isn't it?

    It's on after the news, I think!

    I can't believe they're still going.

  • OMG what the hell its an comedy skit, its funny so just get over yourself

  • Australians really are dumb.

  • @jjppvvee IT's A COMEDY SHOW how dumb is the world OMG

  • @ManingGi People may not understand that it is comedy because of how painfully unfunny it is.

  • @jjppvvee STFU, dip shit. It's just a bloody comedy sketch.

  • How bizarre that the person who posted this doesn't realise it's a joke! For their benefit, this is a weekly comedy segment on Australian television.

  • This is comedy, jus t a bit to subtle for our English speaking cousins across the Pacific. We don't need a big neon sign saying "JOKE" plus canned laughter to make us laugh.

  • OMG these guys are my favourite news segment - a JOKE! oh man...

  • General Rommel from WW2 said,

    "Give me 2 platoons of Australian Soldiers and we will take over the world!"

  • Aussie humor is the best!

  • this is a comedy show...not politicians

    if you think this is bad, you should see our ACTUAL politicians.

  • The awkward moment when people think Clarke and Dawe are real politicians

  • Aaahh yes - comedy based on intelligence - something Americans will never get.

  • this guy is trolling

  • far out i love these guys

  • Typical American ignorance. These guys are great!

  • Troll'n be easy here, mon.

  • troll

    

  • hahahahahaahah im an aussie and this makes me LMFAO XD

  • LOL. This shit is so fuckin funny. its a comedy stint

  • Or are you just trolling?

  • Or are you just trolling?

  • I know basically everyone has said this but, this comedy, Australian comedy!

  • Vonlinchen: Obvious troll is obvious. Well played sir.

  • that awkward moment when Americans don't get Aussie humour

  • @Hem3fiction yeah, the pregnant pause.. that quiet moment prompting someone to offer cups of tea.. Odd thing is, the Americans I've known get it straight away. They have satire in buckets over there.

    Dumbarse who posted this up though.. I near pissed myself when this one aired.. I love John Clarke.

  • @Hem3fiction Because there was no laughter track telling them when to laugh.

  • @zoerickard LOL, it's funny cos it's true

  • lol this is a joke lol

  • Well I hope the guy the guy who uploaded this is well embarrassed, these guys are doing a skit and any normal person would recognize this. Also naming the video "lol Australians are dumb" doesn't really make u sound any smarter

  • The uploader should've removed this video long ago to avoid the embarrassment of not realising that this is a comedy skit :/

  • They are brilliant

  • lol , dumb yanks cant tell that this is a comedy sketch.. Shows how warped in the head they really are if they cant figure that out..

  • Brilliant. Even more brilliant people not recognizing the brilliant sketchwriting.

  • i thought his argument was quite intelligent.

  • fantastic john clarke!

  • hahahaha this is an aussie parody not real. so good though

  • HAHAHAHAH I'm Aussie and this is freakin hilarious omg

  • haha you dumb ass, this is a segment at the end of a abc show called 730 report, its supposed to be dumb as jamesinarcardia said, IT IS DUMB THAT WAS THE INTENTION

  • DUMB American's don't understand satire?

  • This reminds me of Monty Python.

  • Clarke & Dawe FTW!

    

  • If you cannot see this is satire, you a a moron and should be dumbed into a void.

  • @MADMANx511 your a moron u say a 2 names

  • @jtwpmm What cunt? What the fuck are you saying? Are you mentally retarded or someshit?

  • Vonlinchen is obviously a kid and doesn't get it.

  • yap yap yap

  • Satire isn't a chemical element.

  • haha I love these two. there segments on ABC crack me up

  • @CoDHut I know right! its also funny how ameicans think this is real

  • MMMM thats good satire! x

  • @BobrovMike MMM...thats great bass! { anyone gedditt?....anyone ? }

  • haha they used to show this on ABC

  • @YOURfaceHAHification They still do I believe??

  • Anyone that thinks this is a serious report seriously needs help.

  • clarke and dawe... brilliant

  • This is obviously satirical and quite good at that also :)

  • PS: As an aussie, it is ridiculous to claim that 'Americans are dumb'. Firstly Australia is full of bogans (ref channel 7 ratings), secondly we are a small insignificant country compared to America, we cannot compete culturally with them - they have better universities and larger cities, and as a society have achieved far greater things. I'd still rather be an Australian (mainly because I live in Melbourne), but yeah, face facts.

  • @jamesinarcadia well, fuck off over there

  • @jamesinarcadia That's absolute bullshit. The US has millions of rednecks, their version of our bogans. Insignificant? Funny you should say that when our economy is kicking the US economy's arse big time. What do you call culture...Lady Gaga or Oprah Winfrey? You need to do more research on what Aust has achieved before making a rash statement like that. They may have larger cities but is that such a good thing? I don't think so. We're doing pretty damn good compared to the US

  • @TheNostromo70 You are showing how much of a dumb bogan you are if you think American culture is comprised of Oprah and Gaga. I'll explain - that is 'popular culture' - I'm talking about high culture - their authors, artists, poets, intellectuals, inventors, etc. With our shorter history, and small population - we are no competition.

  • @jamesinarcadia Who are you calling a bogan?? If you like it so much over there, why don't you move there? They may have a number of intellectual giants in their field but so what? You're the one that's 'competing' with the US. Most Australians couldn't give a damn about what the US has.

  • @TheNostromo70 I'm calling you a bogan, because you are clearly stupid. The fact that they have 'giants in fields' is relevant because we were discussing their cultural superiority - there is no competition, despite what ignorant bogans might think. Unfortunately most Australians do care - they are obsessed with American pop culture - you are also neglecting the fact that the U.S saved our asses from a Japanese invasion during WWII,have some respect mate!

  • @jamesinarcadia Call me what you like, that's your choice to insult, not mine. With WWII, the US had no intentions of being involved in WWII (only in the provision of personnel on a small scale, and arms) until they were attacked at Pearl Harbour, which was a direct result of trade restrictions on Japan by the US. The Battle of the Coral Sea was not an intention to save Aust, it was to save their military bases in Australia at the time. They sure did a great job in Vietnam...not.

  • @TheNostromo70 ahh the point was that Churchill had chosen to strategically abandon Australia. No action in war is without self interest, but that doesn't deflect from the fact that the Americans prevented an attempted Japanese invasion. I don't know why you would bring up Vietnam (random and irrelevant), I don't believe war is ever really justified, but I don't believe it historical ignorance either, so before you hate on the US, school yourself fool.

  • @jamesinarcadia That is correct about Churchill abandoning Aust strategically. You also failed to mention about the Australians that fought on the Japanese on the Kokoda Track in PNG, which contributed greatly to prevent invasion of Australia as well. Nothing justifies war. I mentioned Vietnam to point out that the US isn't as powerful a force as many seem to believe. If you need to resort to petty insults, all that proves is that Generation Y is full of it. 

  • @TheNostromo70 I finished school when you were still in nappies.

  • @jamesinarcadia I"m just as educated as you are pal. I was involved with the cleanup after the Qld Floods last year and I value that type of community spirit a hell of a lot more than some intellectual 'culture'.

  • @TheNostromo70 Your level of education is a fact, so I wouldn't assume that you have a higher level of education over someone else unless you actually know what level of degree the hold. OH and I'm sorry mate, didn't realise you worked as a volunteer! I suppose that gives you automatic hero status, and a pass on the dumb bogan claims you make, I withdraw my reason and logic - u sir are almost certainly correct

  • @jamesinarcadia You have a problem with people that volunteer do you? You've probably never volunteered your time and effort to anything in your life. I don't buy that 'hero status' crap, that's something you assumed yourself. There is no point in attempting to reason with people like you, especially when you live in an Ivory Tower.

  • @TheNostromo70 I have worked as a volunteer in my community for years, and I am only in my early twenties. I do not bring it up in anonymous public forums as proof of my own role in Australia's national culture. I felt sick when I read that comment, it was self gratifying and used to illicit sympathy- especially given the context (a major natural disaster). Why don't you volunteer for meals on wheels or disability services? Probably not enough attention for you in those roles.

  • @jamesinarcadia I've never bragged about anything in my life. I brought it up as an example that volunteering is more widely respected than a value of intellectual culture. I do not ask or want sympathy for anything, your comment on that was totally unjustified. If you have been a volunteer, that is very admirable. I have volunteered at Aged Care facilities and the Salvation Army here in Brisbane, and will be starting more voluntary work in tourism, working with tourists at Southbank Parklands

  • @jamesinarcadia Australia is the envy of a lot of Americans, I know because I know quite a few of them and if they had the choice, they'd prefer to live here in a flash. This attitude by a lot of Australians to 'big brother' is what happens when we're bombarded with American TV shows like the Simpsons (fine example of American culture), wasting taxpayer dollars on being involved in world affairs they have no business being involved in, not what I'd call smart.

  • Comment removed

  • Just to clarify some things for the (1) ignorant Americans who have a reduced sense of humour and cannot recognise that this is a skit, and (2) those bogan Australians who have never watched ABC and do not recognise that these two have been doing political satire for well over a decade, and are therefore defending them and the country.

    IT IS DUMB, THAT WAS THE INTENTION.

  • @jamesinarcadia yehh dude!.

    this is an abc joke!

  • This interview is off a comedy show you fucking idiot.......

  • Indians are dumb.. woops that wasn't a racist comment was it?

  • These guys are comedians you numbnuts. This form of comedy is called 'black humour' ('humor' for our US viewers who barely understand English humour, as they speak American and lack the word 'irony' in their vocab - except thankfully for Robin Williams & the Simpsons.) 'Black humour' is not a racist comment either. You pansyfied, political correct morons. It's black like oil. Get it, 'black humour'. Sadly, it's like writing for kindergarten for some of you.. and the dumb just get dumber.

  • This is a comedy sketch you MORONS!

  • Yanks. :(

  • Silly Flamer Emlis :P but saying america is the best country is like saying horses are the fastest mode of transport, Its good in some areas but it hasn't been the best in quite a while. Economically China is much stronger, mostly due to the GFC but also because of the ridiculous amount of manufacturing. From a militaristic view it is still a great competitor but again China beats it by shear numbers. The only major Distinction the US still holds is the entertainment industry, e.g. Hollywood.

  • i wonder if you do realise that this is supposed to be a comedy skit, you know with a script, thus meaning we are actually pretty smart?

  • i cannot find this @emlis16 comment but ill call him/her a stupid american cunt anyway ;)

  • i hope they all realize that its a comedy sketch..... fuckin americans

  • I'll glass ya, cunt! 

  • Coming from the country that thinks 2012 is for real, oh snap

  • Hahahaha, wow, these guys have been around for awhile. you've probably already discovered this but i didnt bother reading the comments. but they do parodes of current politicians

  • HAHA, John Clark and Brian Dawe are the best. They look serious, but its hard not to laugh at Clark's responses.

  • @Emlis16 We aussies don't think we are better than anyone ever one is equal

  • @Emlis16 NO we Australians now that it's fake but how do you know it's real

  • @Emlis16 I don't like america but I like Obama

  • @Emlis16 You fuck ass as an Aussie we are very good a sport and I'll like to see you swimming as good as us GO FUCK YOURSELF

  • Hahahahahahahahahahahahhaha, this is a sketch, not a real report!

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    It's a 7:30 report sketch...

    I think your confusing this with Today Tonight

  • It's actually very amusing about the high percentage of people that think this is actually real.

  • this is a satire and those who can't pick up on that musn't be the full quid...

  • Someone isn't familiar with satire....or maybe is just retarded.

  • Funny funny buggers

    

  • Bahahahaha Gold!

  • "Well the front fell off!"

    Pissing myself laughing.

  • @Emlis16 we r saying it is fake cuz we no it is fake we saw this before you!!!!!!

  • @Emlis16 how about u come 2 australiaand ride a kangaroo I would love 2 see u on life support dying u ignorent shit

  • hhahahahhahahahahhahahhahahah its a joke interview making fun of politicians you dont need to be australian to know that

  • thumbs up if you wrote a comment to tell those who didn't know that these two guys a comedians not politicians...

  • These guys are comedians :)

    They're not being serious.

  • Dickhead who thought this was real. Iam pretty sure it's on at the end of the 7:30 report on abc. It's an act / skit impersonating politicians.

  • John Dawe and John Clarke are hilarious.

    Are there really folks out there without a sense of ironic humour who don't get this? I think they must be trolling, because I don't think anyone could be that dumb that they think this was serious.

    Try this youtube.com/watch?v=mSujCHfvTb­0

  • It's clearly a joke.

  • This is a fucking parody, the IRONY, ITS FUCKING BURNING

  • The awkward moment an american fails to get an aussie joke and proves that they're actually the dumb one.

  • @vonlinchen you do realize this was done as a political satire right?...

  • You're the one who's dumb for thinking this is true

  • These guys are brilliant, & have been so for a long, long time now . May they keep on keeping on ... "why did the front fall off" .. "well, a wave hit it" .. glorious ...

  • @Emlis16-its you who is makin the "ARSE" of yourself! Please continue as we all getting a good laugh from it McDonalds Rubbish Collector!

  • @scammedbygov so am i...

  • @mdr279 - Emlis16 is more than a redneck, he is also backwards ass, inbred, goat blowing redneck! The only come back this douche comes up with is when he masturbates in front of a fan! "just for your understanding Emlis16" you blow your load and it comes back at you! "Comeback" fuck nuckle!

  • @scammedbygov an aussie saying ass make me laugh lol

  • LOL! No cardboard derivatives!

  • someone actually thought this was a serious interview.... think that's a Darwin Award right there

  • I remember when this happened back in the early 90's as I live in Western Australia. The ship in question was the Greek oil tanker the Kirki and yes the bow did snap off in rough seas near Geraldton. By the way for those who don't know this isn't a real interview with a senator it's actually comedy duo John Clarke and Brian Dawe.

  • Comment removed

  • This was posted by a American wasnt it? 

  • ROFL!!! That was awesome!! Go Aussie comedy!!

  • this comedian could be very funny sometimes. he usually played the part of some aussie politician like john howard for example.

  • @Emlis16- Again you arrogance astounds me! What topic do you want to start with and let me show everyone how I own you SEPPO! Let's go McDonalds drive thru attendant! Show me what you got! I am waiting! Douche bag!

  • @scammedbygov name anything and i'll beat it. god bless america

  • @Emlis16 How about two - modesty & spelling

  • @tomgoodful what? lol

  • @scammedbygov Hahaha Emlis is fucking douchebag

  • I'm not sure, but I think the "front fell off"?

  • shameless troll bait or astounding ignorance?

  • ultimate troll nation

  • Yes this was from a comedy show, I remember watching it, very funny. Strange that others think it was real, but than Americans think their tv shows, movies are real and all the actors really look like that in real life. Some Americans on here need to wake up...It's a joke,, you silly things.

  • @Emlis16 .. Your a douche bag! quit now before you really embarrass your already half-witted fellow countrymen & women. Please understand I don't think all Americans are half-wits, but there is a massive percentage of you are unbelievably ignorant and astoundingly arrogant! I could carve you up all day long, how Australians shit all over you. But I only have a few hundred words to make my point!

  • @scammedbygov typical australian rednecks...why can all countries just accept the u.s as the top country? everything you know today wouldnt be there without america..just accept it you kangaroo riding rednecks!

  • @Emlis16 you fucking ignorant shit... 1. We don't ride kangaroos nor use them as a form of transport. That's like saying that Americans use cacti as dildos. 2. We don't use the term redneck in Australia but I guess you are too ignorant to understand that.

  • @mdr279 you dont use the term redneck? then what do you use? idiot?

  • @Emlis16 We use the term 'bogan'. Even so, a bogan person in Australia is nothing compared to the rednecks you see on shows in the US such as 'Lizard Lick Towing' and 'Operation Repo'.

  • @mdr279 thats tv, dude

  • @Emlis16 Well there are no shows like that in Australia.

  • @mdr279 righht

  • @Emlis16 Ok believe what you want, but on regular TV there are none.

  • @mdr279 whatever, but australian tv will never be as good as americans

  • @Emlis16 We dont give a fuck, we get out and play decent sports unlike you Americans, you all have nothing better to do than to sit on you lazy fat asses.

  • @thatBOLTONguy HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHA a aussie saying ass..noob go play "soccer" noob

  • @Emlis16 "AN" Aussie (please use your grammer, you are just embarassing yourself now with the amount of mistakes you have made) saying ass, what's wrong with that. As I said I call Football, Football, because who said I am from Australia. If you had half a brain you would have looked up where Bolton is.

  • @thatBOLTONguy who cares if i make mistakes, at least im not some redneck australain who marries his sister

    everyone on this comments should get a life

    god bless the USA!!

  • @Emlis16 Your talking about people in the Southern States of the U.S.A. We don't have rednecks in Australia, we have bogans and yobbos. What kind of sick bastard would even have marrying your sister cross their mind. You need serious help.

  • @thatBOLTONguy his profile says he's from Australia. I reckon he's one of these little tryhard wannabe gangsta idiots pretending to be Americans. The sister comments stems from his disappointment that he doesn't have a sister with whom he could...........

  • @Emlis16 More rednecks in the US than the whole population of Australia pal!

  • @TheNostromo70 Durr

  • @TheNostromo70 We have bogans, they have rednecks

  • @Emlis16 you know what. your not a bogan or a redneck. your a dickhead.

  • @cricketwiz99 Trolled :P

    ...If you haven't fingured that out by now..

    Look for my comment replying to my OWN comment, then you'll know..or look at my LOCATION :O It was fun...pages upon pages of rage :P

    4:12am and time for sleep :D

    ^

    Queensland time :O

  • @Emlis16 WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU INSULT YOUR OWN COUNTRY YOU USLESS FUCKING CUNT

  • @cricketwiz99 Because I felt like it :P I wanted to see what patriotic bogans would comment :O Don't take yourself too seriously...or your country

  • @Emlis16 What the FUCK! How DARE you say such shit about MY country! Australia SHITS all over the US, bitch! Go eat more Taco Bell, fatty. At least us Aussies don't have a fucked up gov like you (Oh wait, we d
