We Can Be Heroes - Ricky Wong at the Logies - Indigeridoo

[@nurseprac.nikki513]

Chris Lilley is an icon! I miss the days of just being able to laugh at ourselves and everyone else. Now everyone is offended by everything. It’s a shame.

[@KellBC1]

Imbedded racism isn't funny unless you're a biggot

[@magyarbluey8406]

Cathy Freeman has a sense of humour, that's awesome

[@samroyans9258]

Imagine performing this now....my god. (Brilliant by the way)

[@kleenbeats]

For those stumbling across this, allow me to explain the layers of this 2006 (Australian) comedy skit: Chris Lilley is a famous Australian comedic satirist (actor) who is performing as a Chinese university student (acting), who is performing as an indigenous Australian in a musical theatre piece about indigenous Australians (acting) with a Chinese theatrical cast (real) who are (acting) as indigenous Australians at Australia’s main Tv awards ceremony (real). He then concludes the performance with one of Australia’s most well known indigenous sporting icons (real) to acknowledge her success (real). The (2006) audience of well known Australian actors, presenters and performers, who stood and applauded, did so because they understood the context, the narrative and the (unbelievable) comedic layers of the performance. The depth of this comedy may be lost on some today (those who don’t appreciate nuanced humour, particularly from an international perspective who also don’t consider the period), but I have faith that in time Chris Lilley’s genius will finally be justly recognised! (His comedic awareness is unmatched in this country) For reference, 3 years after this performance, Robert Downy Jr was nominated for a golden globe, critics choice, screen actors guild and academy award for playing “a dude playing the dude, disguised as another dude!” In Tropic Thunder! From a purely comedic (level/depth) comparison, if Downy was classical physics, then Lilley went Quantum with this one!

He's made me cry more than once. Watching Jonah being kicked out of school broke my heart. Of course I laughed, too.

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

Onya Cathy what a good sport.

[@SPASPAWIZ]

Greatest Australian comedic television artist ever!

[@OldAussieAds]

Cathy Freeman. Such a great sport!

[@rosiesummer2711]

She is lovely here. I giggled when she got embarrassed.

[@kerryredwine3790]

This is my favorite comedian by far like seriously he's so fresh and new with his ideas and he's got that sense of humor unlike most copycat comedians I would fake make a wish to meet him and play man he would be a blast .....I love you Lilley

[@kerryredwine3790]

My cuntface is actually pretty so just had to throw that out there

[@jai1675]

Love your work Chris, feeds the spirit in such drab times ❤️

[@PurplePinkRed]

This is in my Top 3 Logies performances. Naughty Girl by Mr G and Lady Bump by Kath and Kim are the other two 🤣

[@obi-wankedogi]

It's pathetic how some people choose to be offended. He always includes a loving message with his humor.

[@mirandachristina3412]

Unbelievable! Chris Is a Comedy Genius

[@emiledavis6680]

I love it. It is true tho us Chinese have great respect and sorrow in our heart for aboriginal and energetic, smart but sort of socially unaware character like Ricky would totally love to play this part. [the acting] it coke out him, like a scream lmao

Brilliant UK

[@undertheblue2006]

This is absolute gold. If you can’t appreciate this you need to get a sense of humour

[@edwardness7497]

Feel like people forgot about this, or didn't even know about this performance when they took Chris down for his racist stereotypes... Logies endorsed it, fucking Cathy Freeman endorsed it...

[@sdhndhkyjf1804]

i cannot believe this was allowed on the telly 💀💀💀💀

[@anthonyreed480]

Chris, I know it's not your job, but geez you could really make a huge cultural impact if you made a point of taking the mainstream media to task about their modern pearl-clutcher craze. You'd never be able to make these classics today.

[@nr1785]

Was that a ‘rainbow flag’ that actually wasn’t a ‘rainbow flag’? Oh those were the days.

[@robgreene5666]

Very wise to go black body rather than black face
