Norman Gunston interviews Ray Charles

This is a cracker - Norman could walk the streets and mix it with the brothers for sure with his worldly charm and sartorial splendour.

ray charles took it on the chin and can take a joke

love the question:what do you prefer music or lyrics?It was meant to be a funny question but Charles said it was a good question.Strange the way that worked out.

'Norman Gunston' is sheer comic genius. If anyone can't see that that's their misfortune. No swearing, or cheap shots, beneath the surface a brilliant intelligence is moving at the speed of thought! Gary McDonald took up where Tommy Cooper left off, and blazed a trail for a whole bunch of imitators. like Ali G and Borat, Pee Wee Herman, Flight of the Conchords to name a few.

@Oztralianmade australian humor sucks, thats all im saying.

@slimithy12 You need to go to the local Hardware store & have someone take that Chip of your Shoulder. The character of Norman Gunston is to "take the Piss" out of all his interviewee's. It would be discrimination if he didn't wind up Ray Charles. Look at the Sally Struther, Chevy Chase, Guns N Roses, Frank Zappa etc footage. Garry McDonald is a true professional . . Your not Harry Connick JNR by any chance . .

@slimithy12 Discussing the intelligence of the subject matter might carry more weight if your grammar and spelling weren't so atrocious. (Codescending? What's that - two people going down a staircase arm in arm?) Further, equating Australian humour with British humour simply indicates that you have no knowledge of the cultural differences at all. The Gunston character was a satirical figure who used an ambush technique (much copied since) to send up the entire concept of celebrity interviews.

@Pigroota auight mate, i'll go throw another shimp on the barbie while im at it.

@slimithy12 diddums, go cry some more

[slimithy12]

@Pigroota you mean it's not for ANYONE who's not a white australian. i understand the australian sense of humour (or the type your talking about) quite well. it's very much the same as our british humour, codecending, sarcastic, steriotypical, arrogant, zenophobic and done so in a cowardly off the cuff manner. honestly dude there is no charm in that kind of humour at all and it's no more intelligent then laughing at disable kids.

[Pigroota]

@slimithy12 Meh, like I said, it's not for everyone. Its unfortunate that the rest of the world take themselves so seriously

[slimithy12]

@Pigroota i agree, you have a beautiful humour. you poked fun at a highly talented individual, at his expense and in a very in a condescending manner. you assumed a blind black man would be stupid and have no self awareness, so you thought he was fair game. now thats what i call a witty, innovative, stylish, intelligent and highly "cultured" (lmao) sense of humour! btw, your education system is no better then any other 1st world countries but all things considered, it's not that bad....lol.
