[FAST FORWARD] Skippy - Skippy and the White Slave-Traders

[@olliefs9298]

I miss fastforward and full frontal.. the world desperately needs more laughter!

[@sliat1981]

The laughter covers up one of the funniest jokes “gee it’s a good thing dad had those clothes hidden under his bed.”

[@Gyfrctgtdbhf]

Skippy in drag is the funniest thing I’ve seen so far this year.

[@Boomer1156]

Probably the last days of great Aussie humour

[@simmonsrenos9111]

Watched the real Skippy show in the UK as a kid,was telling the family about the show (now in Canada)came across this..... haven't laughed so hard in years.

[@lindabaron4584]

I live in South Florida USA, I found this show back in the 1990s. I became addicted to Skippy, but this spoof, is killing me, laughing so hard. 😂

[@belindahutchinson5333]

Yes Aussies could take a joke and laugh at themselves..😂😅

Used to remember going with work colleagues after work on a Thursday or Friday night to HSV7 studios on Dorcas St, Sth Melbourne to watch them record Fast Forward several times. Late 80’s/early 90’s. Such fun.

Oh fuck I haven't seen this in 30 odd years and it's still just as good as the day it first aired

[@colliric]

The real Skippy show usually used a real kangaroo, but in the close-up shots had obviously extremely fake stuffed paws that and you could see the puppeteer struggling to make the paws look natural next to the real animal's head. Watching as an adult you can't help but laugh at the fake paws and how the kangaroo always tried to ear-bat them away when they were making him itchy. Still it's Australia's Lassie-style kids classic and always will be.

[@rex7486]

What the hell was Michael Veitch thinking when he cooked up this messed up and twisted incarnation of Sonny Hammond. Both so funny and so wrong on many levels.

[@Kamelhaj]

This was SO funny!!!

[@anthonymolina2964]

even funnier now!

[@edwina.johnston]

Would love if you could react to Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham signing 'When Something Is Wrong With My Baby' either from the video clip or live on Hey, Hey It's Saturday. Would also love if you could react to John Farnham singing 'Help' live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Also Fast Forward's sketch about Skippy and the White Slave Traders is hilarious.

[@clubgus07]

@@blahblaahh3004 south park was great back in its infancy on tv channel SBS but now its been commercialised on channel 7 Mate and its meh. Comedic Shows like Full Frontal , Fast Forward and The Comedy Company jusy teared to shreds all thise soppy daytime tv shows. I remember skits on everything no daytime or nighttime show was spared or prime minister or political figure. It was worth not studying for the high school maths test the next day to watch these shows. Lucky i did I dont see the back catalog of these shows any more perhaps over the years the film strip to digital conversion has failed or accidental fires occur at archives like i heard the back catalog of hey hey its Saturday was destroyed in a fire. I guess only the memories remain in my mind an si feel blessed i lived the 80s and 90s the golden age of comedy tv.

[@bigmacstack3468]

[@gattingbowledwarne]

@@clubgus07these shows aren’t on now because it’s easier to make reality tv shows. It’s got nothing to do with PC. There’s stuff on now that would never be allowed on tv back in the 80s. This shows aren’t relevant these days either. It’s only funny if you know skippy, or the culture and the politics of the time.

This reminds me of that South Park episode

[@marcdc6809]

Nobody ever wondered why before the kangaroo was their pet the children never got lost in some cave or mine or abandoned house... Skippy's merit was to go home to eat and be noticed by the parents: look, the kangaroo is alone again, let's look for the kids... again...

[@harryricochet8134]

There were no mines or houses in Waratah Park as it was a National Park and the 'kids' never had 'parents' as Matt Hammond was a widower with Sonny being his sole minor child. Skippy was never a 'pet' and the scriptwriters in fact went to great lengths to repeatedly reiterate this, she came and went as she pleased and as for her 'eating', a Kangaroo's primary diet is native grass, so she didn't ever 'go home to eat'. Did you ever actually watch the original show? If so you appear to have an utterly appalling capacity for cognitive recall.
