D-Generation "Thunderbirds" Parody

Dug up from an old VHS tape---this is a send-up of Gerry Anderson's "Thunderbirds", by the Australian comedy skit show "D-Generation" (during the 1980's...)

I completely missed out on all the D-gen fun. It sucks to have been born too late to enjoy what was obviously some great stuff. If only there were still Australian comedy shows like this! I can't stop laughing at the way they did the marionette walking style...! xD

Thanks for uploading this sketch - I remember it well and am so glad I could find it again. Original Aussie humour still cracks me up even after 30 years later, LOL.

No Probs!  :):):)

As a massive fan of the original series.... this is absolutely fricking hilarious, and so, SO accurate XD

[DarthPeppy]

Yeah, I still got my Dinky TB2 in the top cupboard! :)

its crazy ridiculous how accurate their walking/movements/actions were to the real Thunderbirds!!! i guess that's a testiment to the quality of the comedians and their attention to detail :)

@fivecougarsoz You will find that Australian comedy is quite clever really

[CatgirlAlli]

@DarthPeppy Hehe, yeah... Just a little! ;-)

@fivecougarsoz "its crazy ridiculous how accurate their walking/movements/actions were to the real Thunderbirds!!!"

Not accurate at all really...if you watch the original Thunderbirds series, the marionettes didn't walk with their hands up like that. Rather, they tended to stand bolt upright when walking, with their arms down by their sides.

@davidsawyervlog ....Possibly "Team America".

Oppps, not 30 years ago, more like 20 to 25 years ago. Guess I'm show'n my age, lol.

@wahaya2 I agree with your comments entirely and I had such a good laugh whilst watching this video. I truly admire the comedy that we once had on Australian TV.
