I'm one of the performers in the act. Thanks for checking out our skit. I'm the tallest one in the act & was not meant to be in the act, but filled in last minute. This performance ended up giving my comedic entertainment career a massive boost, while we also copped a heap of controversy, but controversy sells, so we rolled with it. On the back of this, we travelled Australia.

[@mssuziquzi]

Only on Hey Hey.👍😂

[@nathanialmunro2396]

Awesome experience done more than most

[@Rionnagan]

Glad it gave you a boost. It was a fab performance.

[@Antechynus]

Thanks for the laughs champion... please thank your mates as well.

[@stuartgarfatth1448]

THIS, is what Australians are all about. Having a ball, givin' the piss, and takin' it too!. Top marks to the 'girls'!.🤣🤣🤣.

[@gavinfoster8607]

It's not offensive. It's people having fun and doing what Aussies do.

[@DD-58]

YEP Ryan you hit the nail right on the head...They chose to do this... OTHERS who choose to be outraged 'on behalf of' those who actually are doing/living the life are doing more damage/hurt to the people they think they are helping😠

[@archiebald4717]

Not offensive at all. It's fun. They are adults who chose to perform on stage. It's a 10 from me!

[@darneyoung537]

It’s a 10 from me❤❤

[@JustIn-mu3nl]

That was bloody hilarious, nothing offensive about a few blokes taking the p155 out of themselves, all in good fun.

[@linmonash1244]

Indeed THEIR Choice, and what a great choice it was! And in the great Aussie tradition of 'takin' the Piss' outta everything you possibly can! In the days where you could still say Dwarf - or THEY could - instead of Short-Statured Person. Well done those guys! Taking on Stereotypes and Smashing it! { Wonder if Beyonce has seen this? } 🤣👋👋👋

[@markleon411]

Thanks for reacting to this. I wouldn't have had a chance to see this otherwise. These guys are professionals. It worked because it was rehearsed and choreographed. Well done, boys.

[@anthonypirera7598]

Well done Ryan you have made my day every now and then we all need something like that

[@sharonbrown7419]

So close to 50k. I miss shows like this. Loved Hey Hey!

[@abigailfoster2467]

In Australia we have/had a comedian called Steady Eddy. He has cerebral palsy, and his act is based on this. He is hilarious.

[@barbq1976]

Yes, Steady Eddy is great !

[@libbypeace68]

Hilarious! Geez we used to have a fun time before people had to question themselves as to whether something is funny or offensive. Take me back.

[@coolhandluke1503]

I love it Red just read out anti discrimination legislation, gave em a 9 and shut up for once

[@judithstrachan9399]

A 9 from Red isn’t something we see often. Your face, Ry!

[@Team_Awesome]

You can find these guys at "Dwarf my party" now. They are amazing.

[@brbandiera]

It was hilarious. I still remember when it showed MANY years ago. My all time fave Red Faces

[@davidcruse6589]

Good old Aussie fun we used to have never taken things seriously Nice to see you recoved from bucks night other day Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍

[@cambo6319]

My take, I just saw three guys having fun. Great sports.

[@geradkavanagh8240]

Dang, I missed that one till now. Such a good effort from the people on stage and such a practical attitude.

[@soniasmith3594]

You’re being very diplomatic love it

[@janetrickwood2484]

The whole point of Hey, hey was not to take stuff seriously. Frankly, it's the basis of Aussie humour; if you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen. It's all good fun, but there can be tears. I did a gig with Demi's mum Marcia (well, I played guitar on a song with her) in 1989. We went out for drinks and stuff afterwards. I took her and Ricky May (a Kiwi you should look up) home to their hotel in my old Ford station wagon.

[@kevkoala]

1989? Ricky May died June 1988!

[@paulyjbluey6408]

This was the GOLD that made Hey Hey what it was!!!!

[@Jeni10]

The girl judge in purple is Deni Hines, daughter of our beloved Marcia Hines, whom you may have come across while watching so many Aussie videos. Marcia has been in Australia since she was 18 and Deni was born here several months later. xx kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYPPmKVmpqubmpI One more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYaYZqyMd9Seo9E

[@aussiekat6379]

Actually she been here since she was 16 she was brought over for the musical Hair which she was given the part in the production she was under the guardianship of the Harry Miller at the time.. and she stay here and become an Australia citizen.🧐🇦🇺

[@Jeni10]

@@aussiekat6379 WOW! I thought she was 18 back then! 16 is even younger! No wonder she had no idea she was pregnant at the time.

[@aussiekat6379]

@@Jeni10 yes I saw a interview that Marcia did and she was talking about that time in her life when she had Deni I couldn’t imagine leaving home or even moving to another country at that age back then or even now and to find out you are expecting as well. 😊

[@Jeni10]

@@suave-rider Not when you hear her tell the whole story.

[@cottontails9003]

Hi Ryan, im Julianne aka Cotton tails from Australia. Really like your channel and reactions. If you could please do a reaction on "Treaty "by an indigenous band Yothu Yindi. Am not indigenous but when my parents played it i really loved it. Thank you so much from Julianne and Australia.

[@MJ-gv6pw]

Have you ever seen anything from Red's band, "The Skyhooks". They were quite big in Australia in the 70s

[@kingcosworth2643]

Great band

[@philippaking1732]

Hysterically funny. Thanks, Ryan.

[@barrykuno5474]

Glad to see you brought back HeyHey

[@The_Resistance_1961]

Aussie legends - they come in all shapes, sizes and errrrr, genders.

[@donaldduck2139]

Red Symons was in the Aussie group 'The Skyhooks' played base from memory

[@DD-58]

The Short Sisters are AWESOME👍👍

[@2008nursey]

It makes me so happy that you know Red and Red Faces. Did you know Red was in a band called Skyhooks?

[@barbq1976]

The first 'judge' to speak is Glenn Shorrock - lead singer of Little River Band.

[@Rockit-]

Yeah, this show started as an early morning kids cartoon show, that progressed into a Saturday night fun show, we used to watch it while having dinner, some beers before going out to the clubs,,,,

[@brettchristoffel6391]

"A walk in the lite tangerine" on red faces was hilarious back in the day

[@carmie9759]

Ryan you should look up RED when he was in a band called SKY HOOKS… he was the guitarist! It’s an iconic Aussie band too.

[@CarolynFoley-hk1ck]

LovedThe show, people are to Bloody Precious Now!!

[@markdowse3572]

"The Short Sisters" are BRILLIANT! 💎🤣 The world needs more humour... 🤗 M 🦘🏏😎

[@jenniferharrison8915]

Hey hey it's Thursday! 🥴 The best of Hey Hey is actually all the live music and bands they promoted! Acts like the cast of Jesus Christ Superstar live for instance, the best Australian singers together! All in all it was a really great Saturday Night tv show! 🤗 Darryl also hosted Dancing with the Stars here later! 😂👍🙋

[@RobynLester-me7su]

Here's the thing Ryan, hey hey was fun back in the day when people we not so political. They tried to revive it in the 2000nds but by this time, everyone is offended and have some shitty agenda. These are the attitudes that are so divisive, that it ruins life.

[@PotatoIsTheGoat-s1b]

You should, try the challenge where there is 6 Australians but one of the, is acting. I love Hey Hey It’s Saturday!

[@jimdale6001]

Wow! Good to see Glenn Shorrock from Little River Band looking young again.

[@bblake5116]

I grew up watching this as a kid in the 80’s. And a teenager in the 90’s.

[@bhsaproduction]

Judges: Glenn Shorrock an "ARIA Hall of Fame Star" who was a lead singer for the "Little River Band" (Twilights & Axiom), not sure who the blonde lady is, but in the purple dress is Aussie singer "Deni Hines" who is the daughter of the famous Marcia Hines and of course you know RED.

[@RachelHaskins]

Hey Ryan you haven’t done Russell Coight for a while. A brilliant one to watch is Russell Coights Words of Wisdom. He is a national treasure.

[@2011kathyd]

Red was in the legendary band Skyhooks. Check ‘em out!

[@Zukfew]

If it was too wet or cold to go out on Saturday night, just stay home & watch this quality entertainment.

[@Jessie20032]

Hey hey it’s Saturday was the best show ever 🎉 I miss it so much

[@andrewmccabe9820]

When life was simple, and a laugh was all you needed on a Saturday night.....

[@Ainzleeriddell]

Proud assertive dwarves. What’s not to love!

[@davidtredinnick3604]

Hey Hey It's Saturday was a great show. Red faces, PLuck-a-duck, Dicky-knee, good memories

[@louiseciur316]

This show I did watch as a kid and now I miss it to this day red faces was a laugh in it self I laugh so much that I had tears in my eye my dad at the time thought I was crying but I told him it was laugh crying I nearly pissed my pant I laugh so much I wish they could bring that show back I miss it

[@RonList]

You can ONLY be offended if YOU CHOOSE to be offended 😂

[@traciehall1975]

Hey Ryan!, I grew up watching Hey Hey, you can't get comedy like that anymore, everyone would have a laugh, sometimes this comedy hurt some much loved icons ( Khamal for example), do love ya Khamal, this show had parents in stitches and kids to, i lovef Ozzie Ostrtch as a kid, i was more devistared at finding out that Ozzie wasn't real than all orher childhood great wonders, i was a little mess. This was staple viewing in out household, from my childhood in the 70's onwards. Love to see how your bubba is going, give him big cuddles from a middle aged woman who can't wait for grandkids, much love and kindness always Tracie from Australia ❤

[@remuabssunka]

Ryan, you need to look up Red Symmons old Band Skyhooks. He played lead guitar for them in the early '70s and definitely work a look and a review on your KZbin channel. Mark from Albury,New South Wales, Australia. Have a good one mate.😉

[@GenXAussies]

Red has a face for radio for sure 😅

[@Matty12787]

If you want something new, The footy show had some awesome characters, like Mahatma Coat, Reg Reagan or Trent the flight attendant. All Aussie funny characters from the late 90's and early 2000's.

[@tatianarizktaylor1818]

Don’t forget Nads.🐕🩵🐕

[@CarolGration]

Miss those days.

[@australianjackaroo6660]

I used to love this show. Red faces was great, but my favourite was pluck-a-duck❤😂

[@Rionnagan]

OMG. Pluck-a-Duck. Totally forgot about that. :D

[@fergo7010]

3:47 Ryan have you heard of the Little River Band ? they where big In Australia and in the USA in the 90's that's Glen Shorrock he was the lead singer just a little bit of trivia for you.

[@anitahood196]

Speaking of 2010, I've just started watching Rake also made in 2010. You will be shocked, it's a series about NSW 'Justice'. A scandalous series with all sorts of recognisable cameo appearances and expose of NSW politics and government. You'll love it.

[@MikMech]

Funny as... Haven't seen that one. Cheers.

[@petesmith9472]

The Bob sled team was funny

[@chriskilmartin6079]

You should get the clip of when Bert Newton called Mohammad Ali Boy.

[@scottbrazier]

Harry Connick Jnr on Hey ,Hey. I don't think the poor bugger has recovered from the humour.

[@user-cm6io6ht4r]

Hi hon, try & see the crash test dummies & the balloon men dancers both on Red Faces. Very funny😂

[@grasslipper8856]

I like your interest in Aussie culture so I subscribed and plus your a good soul to Ryan

[@alisonfaruk3329]

A little unsettling to know how some of the 'stars' of the show have ended up since then. But what a great show for its time.

[@davidburnett93]

The Russell they referred to is Russell Gilbert. Search hey hey Russell Gilbert, he's a legendary comedian

[@jackbrown6913]

Has anyone commented that Channel 9 did a revamp of Hey Hey, tried to relaunch the show after a long break? We had a trip down memory lane with all the cast and the show being back on the Tele. Unfortunately it didn’t last long

[@CarolynFoley-hk1ck]

1987, In Australia, had a brown snake (very venomous)follow me into house, crawled into then my teenager daughters wardrobe l rang police, they gave me snake catcher’s name, he came out,. He looked like crocodile Dundee with his 3yr old grandson, I could see what was going on whilst peeling green apples to stew, as his grandson kept eating them and telling me how brave his grandad was,Got the snake relocated it, 20yrs later again snake, rang police for snake catcher number. ( Policeman, no love,we don’t have snake man number) I said yer you do!! I’ve got it before, alright hang on. Comes back laughing, your right and gives me the new number. And they don’t kill them just relocate ❤ Only in Australia oh!! So love I’m an Aussie

[@soniasmith3594]

That was awesome

20.30 You should check out a Aussie band called Skyhooks Red is a guitarist in this band

[@saintparusia]

Ask Peter Dinklage if enjoys this...😀😂

[@RushiAnton]

Ryan check out the band Skyhooks with Red on guitar and one of their Albums 'Living in the 70's" While other bands sang about sex, drugs and rock n roll, Skyhooks sang about Life in Melbourne and in particular suburbs like Toorak, Balwin and Carlton! This isn't a request for a reaction just for your own pleasure! Women in uniform is my favourite song off the album, it was so good, early Iron Maiden covered it!

[@Paris45627]

They need to have some fun like u n I

[@davecannabis]

the tallest of the dwarves has his own tic tok channel, funny bastard he is!!!

[@Adelaide2286]

Wrong, it is Skyhooks

[@normajean2855]

look at Reds face, bloody hell...

[@mssuziquzi]

This kind of thing could only happened on Red Faces. Nothing was sacred on that show. People went on knowing that they were gonna be sent up and laughed at. It was all just a bit of fun but would never be tolerated today.😂

[@Sharyn-x8e]

Darryl is still comparing. He’s currently comparing the Australian Dancing with the Stars.

[@weareleeds987]

EVERYONE was having fun - What's wrong with that?

Hi Ryan you shoud check out Red he was in a band called Skyhooks

Oh my gosh. PSA, that website they plugged is... not owned by them anymore. I don't recommend checking it, and especially not on a work PC like I just did.

Yeah me too. I’m Aussie

[@MatthewBekker]

This comes from a different time before everyone got offered on behalf of everyone else even if they have nothing to do with the issue and the world just agrees and we slowly now to scared to laugh at our selfs which is sad. On top of this it has come from Australia where we had a long tradition of taking the piss and having a laugh. I wish we could go back. People may think I am mean wrong or racist, I am anything but I'm am one of the first to give the shirt from my back to help anyone out but i can have a laugh and am the first to say people need to learn that we all need to laugh

[@michaelmayo9048]

Well there was a thing called might throwing on TV in the 80s ..to see who could throw a might the furtherest...

[@judithstrachan9399]

Might? Midget? It was called dwarf tossing.
