This was so awkward to watch... because I actually know some people like this! Really good acting!

[@AdamSWL]

Yes! Someone I used to work with is this character personified. Very scary and absolutely awkward to watch! Phil has to be my favourite Chris Lilley character.

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

Same,met a few along the way

[@Hardcastle83]

Yes we all know Phil Olivettis. Just constantly lying and boasting about how great they are when it is so transparently obvious they are a loser. Lol.

[@JRob75]

Phil Olivetti is the most under-appreciated and underrated Chris Lilley character 😂😂

Chris Lilley inspired me to become a High School teacher. We don’t often have lockdown drills, but when we do, I tell the kids there’s a paedophile in the school.

That’s very gyna of you!

[@amfxoxo]

Oh gosh, he makes me feel the same way I felt about Ricky Gervais' character in The Office...just so repulsed by his worminess but also this desire to give him a hug?

[@brociopath3702]

Looooooool waaaaay funnier than Rocky Gervais 😂

[@dansharov6828]

[@ladyreverie7027]

[@coffeechatsandwalks3976]

He really becomes his characters

[@joshmurray1261]

So few people could play so many believable characters. Super grateful to watch your content

[@chrispayne1824]

3:06 The 'settle down settle down' is brilliant. When he's imagined what this will be like the kids would obviously be raucous and thrilled to see him, and when that doesn't materialise he's too thick to be able to adapt 😂

[@QueenDianeTarot]

The “you can tell by hand span” 🤚🏼gets me every time 😂🐴

[@DV-zv4ox]

Yeeah... Donkeeeey!

[@heatofthedisco]

The "Tommy Emmanuel's" & "Hoodoo Gurus" music selection is a very clever joke. It's so accurate for this character is amazing. Even though it was small, one of my favorite things in the whole series.

[@oinkooink]

Are you a Midnight Oils fan? Whack that on...do the bald head thing

[@tonimarx6405]

My God, i had an Uncle named Phil who behaved just like this. Every single thing that fell out of his mouth was pure cringe and everyone in his vicinity would look unbearably uncomfortable which made it 10x worse. But he was totally and utterly oblivious. He once stood up at my Cousins wedding and gave a 5 minute speech about his observations on pigeons which he could see outside of the window. It was so insane that everyone laughed hysterically. He pointed out that pigeons were not a laughing matter. Totally bonkers.

[@anelkaisgood2]

8:00 best bit.... 😂😂. Remember laughing hysterically at this bit watching it the first time, and basically every time.... Way he says ‘bye’ under his breath and then continues in about Canberra.. 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣. Putting Chris Lilly on the map right there and then!!! 😂🤣🤣🤣

[@yakamon123]

“I’ll whack some music on. You want ehh 12th Man or Tommy Emmanuels?? That’s the music sorted.” 🤣

[@VALIS538]

I don’t know why but when he said “talk about a rough day at work” I laughed so hard I started crying lol

[@MommyCassReborns]

I feel odlly repulsed and saddened by Phil. It is good acting!

Its too real.

chris is an awesome actor, but the people he has to work with must be super talented too to not crack up while filming every scene

[@ravedeath7690]

you can tell the girl at 0:28 is trying to act displeased with his joke but she cant help cracking a smile lol

[@gin5sey]

Chris, you are an Australian legend. Your characters are literally a comedic time capsule of our time. Love you forever #fuckcancelculture

[@Xt-tt6mc]

Chris Lilley is a comedy genius, respect from England. Couldn’t pick a favourite character.

I’ve met you once at a Melbourne nightclub and you were the sweetest loveliest well-mannered man and when I asked for a photo with you, you put your cap backwards and took a photo with me! This was right after I watched “Ja’mie, private school girl” and I wa star struck! I love your work, please make more!

[@sally_spice4507]

I absolutely love, respect your talent Chris Lily. This was a great show 😂 absolutely hilarious

[@summerXdrummer]

Phil Olivetti is your greatest character! You need to bring him back.

[@DoomSplitta]

Phil has always been my favourite, the "did you eat all the Yogos Jordan?" Deflection has stayed with me after all these years. The uniquely AUS pudding/yoghurt reference is possibly my greatest CL moment.

[@underratedunity1528]

Even down to the names he picks for his characters, the partners and spouses, the houses and where they come from in Australia it's all just perfect!

[@Gigiwalters]

Phill neeeds to make a 2024 comeback. And Mr G! He would definitely be Covid ready by making a play about it.

[@mc12p3]

Such an underrated character, has to be one of, if not the best

[@TechnoAdamGuy]

Probably one of the most underrated Chris Lilley characters. And what’s so funny is I read Phil is suppose to live in Bray Park, which is the suburb I live in. Idk if it was actually filmed there, but the fact I know someone who lives near me who acts like this is uncanny. Typical goofy North Brisbane behaviour 😂

[@MrShroomz84]

When he tries to bribe Malcolm and says "I was just kidding" when turned down, is a case of Schroedinger's Douchebag. He's either "just joking" or completely serious, but we don't know until Malcolm responds 😂 (Although we know he's serious regardless)

What I think is brilliant about the show is how you nailed the very subtle differences between states. Even within the broad class distinctions of Daniel, Phil, Pat and Ja'mie, you make them sound specifically like they're from that state and not the others.
