These were the best times growing up in Australia 🇦🇺. I really miss Hey Hey....times were simple and people had fun!!

[@ryannotbrian3978]

Came here to see Tripod and ended up seeing my year 10 maths teacher John Fowler!

[@animatorFan74]

that's crazy..... so cool :)

[@timrichmond1161]

Nah, bugger it, he gave me a C

[@littleblackcat2273]

I felt sorry for John in this one, he possibly had a great song, got gonged off before getting to the chorus, and was followed by a strong stand-up comedian, and then the great Tripod!

[@thefrightenedexplorer4262]

That second guy was so unlucky he was on the same show as Tripod.

[@Friendship1nmillion]

Yeah , although I wonder where he is now . He seems to be a great comedic talent . ♑️✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺

[@acd6835]

@@Friendship1nmillion I used to work with Steven at Briz31 for about a year,the last I heard he was performing on cruise ships. Also, LOVE Tripod, have seen them live in the past and amazing to see that they are still performing to this day!

[@matthewcullen1298]

@@acd6835 good to hear he made a go of it. Wouldn't be a bad lifestyle for a while.

[@tankosaurus]

Not to mention the first guy. Going out with a comedy song he probably thought was pretty decent before hearing Tripod.

[@nhodgie]

@@acd6835 They're also doing composition with Austin Wintory for games...

[@animatorFan74]

Tripod are a freaking national treasure :)

[@terrykennedy7422]

I miss the 90's, maybe because i was a child then and life was simpler. Or because everything was better then....

[@daz4627]

You won't see TV like this anymore... Hey Hey was compulsory viewing ... funny as in a much simpler age ... just all 'round good fun.

[@crazyhudson]

So much to love about this whole video, I miss the humor back then, it wasn’t forced.

[@TabJH]

Still loving Tripod after all these years.

[@claytonpascoe480]

Hey hey it’s Saturday was one of the best shows ever.

[@meticulouslytender8921]

OMG the memories this bad boy brings back. I saw this as a kid on TV then 23 years later I saw Tripod live in my home town and they are still the same 3 dudes... better with age and still funny as ever!!!!

[@tevman09]

I miss Hey Hey it's Saturday, always loved tuning in each week especially for Red Faces. TV shows these days just don't have the same flair.

[@skinnydogkew]

And this is obviously where the Axis of awesome got their four chord song idea and probably many others. Tripod were pioneers.

[@CF0RD]

My thoughts, too.

[@SimpPro101]

Entirely possible they came up with it independently

[@feckdrinkgirls]

you said the quiet part out loud.

[@voltare2amstereo]

if this came back on live TV I might actually watch TV

[@LTH099]

These voices are as familiar as my Mum, Dad and siblings. They really were part of the family.

[@benolsen4931]

Fukn oath aye 😂

[@dba8211]

Same:)

[@Seaby41]

Takes you right back to the loungeroom..strange feeling. Tripod and the Oasis medley have stuck in my head all this time

[@KovacsAU_TTV]

The good old days of watching Hey Hey with the entire family, no smart phones or high speed internet

[@wades9327]

I remember meeting Todd Woodbridge as a kid. Was 9 or 10 at the Australian Open. Weird but awesome guy. Signed all our autographs, chatted with us, awesome bloke, no ego. Then he just wandered off randomly. I remember the security guard saying aloud, looking around: "Where did Woodbridge go?"

[@grm3334]

😂😂 Fair dinkum that is a bit weird lol

[@littleblackcat2273]

I guess he found his tipping point!

[@GameShowGumbo]

Tripod reminds me of how Axis of Awesome came up with their Four Chords Song. Glad they won.

[@TimChuma]

Grammy nominated act Tripod in 2024

[@krispatterson9356]

My favourite shows as a kid was probably this and agros cartoon connection. Great tongue in cheek humour when no one got offended for no reason.

[@stuartwhite1628]

John Fowler is one of my old maths teachers. Top bloke.

[@acd6835]

LOVE Tripod! Saw them live a few years ago...their cover of Radiohead's 'Paranoid Android' which can be found on KZbin is spine chilling to listen to. All of their comedy songs are awesome as well, so it's great to see what they were like right at the beginning of their long careers!

[@Lebowski333]

Great song. Ball park music cover it too.

[@suechandler8162]

Yes, the stand up was his own kind of funny, a natural.😅😂

[@AnthonyRochester]

I can't believe the stuff we sat through in the 90s when the entertainment options were so slim

[@davidcarrol110]

The Oasis medley is the most 1996 thing.

[@littleblackcat2273]

... and based on this performance, Todd Woodbridge went on to host the Aussie version of Tipping Point in 2024.

[@tomstruct]

Thanks for posting. What's with all the Harry Connick Jr. tshirts? Was that a dig after the 'incident'?

[@eml0u]

Nearly 30 years later and I'm watching Todd Woodbridge on Tipping Point.....

[@pelago_]

You can tell they were special.

[@Screddy_Henks]

I love tripod!

[@nedrick2263]

2:57 them lyrics really hit me in the feels

[@How_are_ya_now_]

I was waiting for Perkins to bust out the lyre

[@tonyetzu]

The first guy was the best.

[@MichaelPoke]

Tripod were very good weren't they!

[@edwardhill2051]

Proves there is a time a place for everyone everything... They have had their time and place...

[@MichaelPoke]

Wow, Todd looked so young back then!

[@darrenfalconer3267]

Precursor to the 4 chord song by the other 3 guys?

[@emusaurus]

I think red loved the comedian. He let him do his whole routine. Dude was hilarious

[@OpEditorial]

Before there was X Factor, there was Red Faces.

[@CreateMakeEnterprise]

Tripod were awesome 🙂

[@heyheytv]

The best

[@nuberiffic]

I wonder if Axis of Awesome saw this and got some ideas haha

[@caraudioetc]

I swear I thought John Fowler was Richard o’Brian

[@SlapMehhh]

this australia doesnt exist anymore RIP

I was hoping the first guy won 🏆

All he won was all our hearts.

Almost 30 years later and nothing since.

Real entertainment back then. Today!? Junk reality crap

[@ChristopherWallbank-di9hj]

Must be the highest score redmond has ever given, imagine if they had of sung oasis properly, it might have been a big fat zero

[@Chilliconkanye]

Still can't believe one of these guys transitioned

[@CF0RD]

Are you thinking of Axis of Awesome?

[@Chilliconkanye]

@CF0RD I dunno. I swear I read somewhere a few years back, that one of the members transitioned

[@Vicky_C87]

That was someone from the Axis of Awesome, not Tripod
