They're good.

its funny because its true

[LightRevealsDark]

Lol sorry. I wrote that ages ago, I have changed much.

Clarke & Dawe are okay. I wouldn't go so far as to say they're uniquely amusing or entertaining, but they try to bring in a kind of political satire which I commend them for. As for Dave Chapelle, Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy - I have also lost interest in them. I think my all time favourite now has to be Robin Williams and Richard Dawkins for comedic relief.

Anyway, happy travels 'sir'.

Look for the new paradigm too, thats fantastic

some great inforamtion here thanks

[HalfwayHouse12a]

Haha yeah that's my favorite I've seen so far.

Try a search for the one they did about the dead whale. That one is hilarious and you don't need to know about aussie politics to get it.

I wish I knew enough about Australian politics to get more of those jokes

[Faboba]

Your dad has good taste. You have good taste too (Chapelle at least), but it's a different kind of comedy. To get these jokes you need to know something about what's going on in Australian (and world) politics and need to be able to appreciate deadpan humour (to put it simply, to be able to spot the jokes). I'd suggest watching C&D's recent Very Similar Buzzers and the classic The Front Fell Off; both are hysterically funny. If they don't make you laugh, you didn't get it.

Guys are legit

[kevjay777]

I believe you were being sincere so I'm not going to beat up on you and call you names.

The comedians you cited are indeed talented, but the type of humor C & D does is "a thinking man's" humor. I'm not inferring you don't have a brain, just that funny satire is very difficult to write & even harder to perform. Doing it consistently year after year is nearly unheard of.

Add to that, not a single curse word is necessary & they're still hilarious. One day you'll agree I bet.

terrible - correct xD hahahah
