[FAST FORWARD] Skippy - Skippy and the Nuclear Bomb

[@TheJaguar1983]

This was one of my favourite sketches. The absurd premise, the deliberately bad puppetry and Skippy being blown into the air create absolute hilarity.

[@ActiveAussie2024]

It's so absurd, it's hilarious!😂

[@James-kv6kb]

Yeah but if you want to be an Aussie don't say it like that

[@tonysouth1313]

Oh, gee.....

[@seamusomalley8833]

English teachers describing movies

[@trevorgale1176]

This was made in days when we had entertainment on TV, Pre-trash TV. Oh the memories!

[@nicholasaslanides9703]

Yet this stuff is borderline trash

[@SpaceFairyness]

I’m going to tell future generations that this is the same classic TV show that our parents watched growing up 🤣

[@brianallen8588]

I sent the Skippy & the Marijuana Crop to my English friend who asked if it was a real show.

[@billygillan821]

One of the greatest shows ever and its from Australia, clearly a country with grew comedies

[@PassionJo777]

Red faces..hey you hey...it goes on and om

[@danielwoolcock5596]

Now we can't produce shit!

[@KeikoMushi]

ROFL I still remember seeing this sketch as a teenager. Back then, Fast Forward was THE Australian sketch show and I would stay up to watch it each week. Other shows that would follow never quite matched up to the wit and sarcasm of the series. The discontinuation of the show left a comedic void that would only coming close to being addressed by way of The Shaun Micallef Show. I recently tried to watch episodes of D-Generation but the humour didn't quite worked for me as I move towards my fifties. Fast Forward somehow managed to do what other Australian sketch and live comedy shows failed to do, and that was be timeless. The jokes still fall.

[@xr6lad]

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.

[@James-kv6kb]

What I don't understand is all this great comedy come out of Melbourne and had since we started television . What it was also the birthplace of the where offended and we hate everything that destroyed our culture as well

[@statewidefilms]

Oooo skip .. this was some funny stuff in the day . It still cracks me up.. shame we can't do comedy like this any more

[@Mandy-vn7rl]

Skippy was going to run for Prime Minister but she was over-qualified . . .

[@karenlou4794]

Skippy 🦘You’re a fucking legend👍

[@johnhart8856]

*high pitched voice* ... "aww gee!"

[@HouseCatTV]

Dad had this exact sketch on VHS a long time ago, and wow I haven't seen this since I was like 8

[@leishayoung4124]

You know they only made this sketch because they wanted to see that Kangaroo go flying into the air. That alone was worth it!

[@markrook6085]

You know, “On the Beach” would have been a lot less depressing if Skippy had been in it.....🤔

[@RCoon72]

The flying kangaroo has new meaning

[@James-kv6kb]

Bloody hilarious doing a comedy sketch with a stuffed roo . Imagine all these young vegan types they would have an absolute mental brake down watching this

[@The_Trinity_Effect]

God I really miss those days of quality TV , now all that great Aussie talent is just wasted

[@marilynstevenson865]

Sad but True!!

[@James-kv6kb]

I'll come on seriously I think 5 hour news programs to build up Australian airtime and endless cooking shows only to be broken up by people trying to be more Australian than Steve Irwin building houses is much better lol

[@theguywhoisaustralian1465]

This was the greatest thing I've ever seen

[@christinamangelo]

Such memories my favourite.

[@slaughtersrustbucket7734]

skippy almost saved the day....awww geeeee

[@3X073K]

[@miowarratomokatu6089]

The answer is: Don't piss on ANY nuclear bobmbs you find

[@lukebrennan5780]

[@janebuchanan8056]

This cracks me up!

[@oochyme]

That's when TV was real. Can't even watch it anymore

[@James-kv6kb]

Haven't watch TV for 3 years I think now it's just such crap and now it's been such crap for so long that the kids don't know what they're missing

[@aflutteroffeminineconfusio1986]

Rent inspection in 3 days.should be weeding. Nuh. Watching FF vids of skippy and laughing my head off.( i never missed a skippy episode growing up) Onya Skip.

[@MacOne53]

Skippy flying the helicopter always made me laugh.

[@lomasck]

Can you use the filter to get rid of interlacing ??

[@krankykritter6402]

Comedy Gold , now it's all reality tv with wannabe clowns without any talent

[@EamonThePhilogynistWalford]

As funny as this send-up is, it also reminds me of how pathetic the original show (Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, of course) really was. Fast Forward, on the other hand, rocked. :-)

[@EamonThePhilogynistWalford]

@UCrzmV4SndXPT_UCUWjj9cjQ Heh heh - I've been called worse, and you don't have to censor yourself around me. Hell, had the acting and writing been better, maybe I would've warmed to it in my youth too, and maybe Garry Pankhurst wouldn't have ended up leaving the acting profession and starting a meat exporting business (including - wait for it - kangaroo meat). :-P

[@James-kv6kb]

You can fuk off I don't care if I lose my account but you can f*** off the kids in the 70s enjoyed the show we loved it. For fucksake what do kids get to see now Teletubbies no Australian content whatsoever we don't have any programs for kids showing our amazing country or our amazing animals seriously if I ever meet you in the street watch out you have offended me by saying Skippy was a bad show I am so pissed off with you

[@James-kv6kb]

@@EamonThePhilogynistWalford so I suppose the Teletubbies had professional writers coming in and acting courses grow up mate seriously it was a kids show I suppose you're going to say next that Humphrey bear wasn't believable enough and his dialogue was very poor

[@grahameward7505]

@@James-kv6kb his dialog was poor

[@James-kv6kb]

@@grahameward7505 unbelievable don't appreciate Skippy that amounts to treason you have no idea how much they show meant to us but you're obviously born after 1990 and think what you've got now is much better
