[@jacquelinewilson2279]

"I'm the one who's been pinching bits of your garden hose" - GOLD.

[@carlmorgan6932]

Margaret, you will forever hold a special place in my heart.

[@Paul_Plays_Games]

A current affair is why I've not watched Commercial Television 📺 for the last 10 years they be like gutter trash 🚮 Thank you Margaret 💐

[@marks2140]

Pure gold. Margaret is a national treasure.

[@searcher7478]

GOD I MISS MARGARET & DAVID AT THE MOVIES!! 😢😞

[@CatherineAKennedy]

omg - Margaret entertains my soul... thank you for your delivery - whoever wrote the lines is also a gem

[@lisadolan689]

‘I’m the one whose been punching bits of your garden hose’ 🙌🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@paulthomasunderwood]

I thought that ACA stood for, All Crap Again!

[@TheAverageGuy12]

Dear God, is this still on? Next you'll be telling me Survivor is still airing🤣🤣

[@austinbond2527]

Always delight to see Margaret again

[@liamcullen3035]

Lol wtf’s been happening on Current Affair since I last watched it 20 years ago 😂

[@theworld-plex-funadventure8352]

Notice how ACA doesn't allow comments on KZbin. No Australian News channels allow comments either.

[@rmward4110]

60 minutes (38 in fact) is just ACA on a bigger budget.

[@20bluelilies]

It's like the popular magazines today, they used to contain articles worth reading back in the day, but now it's sensationalist trash and blatant lies. But of course it's catering to what the masses want (that's where the money is), which is the really sad part of it all.

[@andgate2000]

Aca is produced by the same people who do mafs... enough said.

[@lakehayden]

I did a spit take at the garden hose bit, this is hilarious

[@bonza167]

wow, imagine all the behind the scenes ABC staff putting that together

[@pzuliomaccavellion9711]

Had me at "I'm the one stealing bits of your garden hose!" Hilarious

[@KASEPO]

I laughed for a good two minutes over the first 5 seconds of this clip. "I'm the one who's pinching bits of your garden hose" holy shit lmfao. National treasure for sure.

[@mimzy8beeps]

Can’t get enough of these love love love ❤

[@peterkops6431]

You always get the blunt truth with Maggie P! Absolutely love it! 👍🏻👍🏻 Subscribed too!

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

It died after willesee and so did 60 minutes shortly after. Never watch this trash since the 80’s.

[@robinthepresent2952]

Margaret, that was beautifully done.

[@jamesdoe3713]

If you want an inside look at how MSM operate watch the comedy "Frontline". Prety much sums it up.

[@evil17]

So GST was the icing on the cake!?!

[@bobgigalo498]

Margaret’s a living legend

[@davespanksalot8413]

Margaret is brilliant. I’m a little bit in love.

[@telestaitao327]

ACA is comedy gold entertainment... first class lunacy that takes itself seriously

[@A__Love]

There's nothing wrong with ACA. It's quality television and yes it's sensationalised and can be problematic. But those parts/stories of Australia do exist whether people like it or not. And those stories can be 'trashy' or 'humourous'. Not every piece of news should be seen through a serious lens. I watched recently where a man in Auburn NSW who lives in a semi is left with only his side of the semi. The other side had been in a fire and then acquired (along with a few blocks next door) by developers who developed an apartment block on that land. The semi looked ridiculous as it was cut in half with half of it's roof and no windows on its entire right side. Thing is the bloke refused to hand over his home to the developers. Not because the price wasn't right but because they wanted his land in enchange/swap for an unit in that new development complex: UNBELIEVABLE 🤯

[@billharrison4586]

I never expected to mainly watch The Weekly to see Margaret Pomeranz. I never even expected her to be funny but she is the funniest person on The Weekly. Just my opinion. Keep it up Margaret, you do a great job.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@triplejazzmusicisall1883]

The worst bits are the presenters acting so pious and serious as if the segment is worthy of a nation's interest. At least in the early years they interviewed politicians. It's history so eloquently articulated by Margaret is a true and direct correlation with the decline of society. Dumb and Dumber was not just a movie. Remember the notorious 'investigator' Martin King. What a jerk that man was. Then I recall a Media Watch episode where they had discovered that ACA had broadcast more stories about women's bras than any other topic, including the old standards such as dodgy builders, dole bludgers and fighting neighbours. But some good came from this utter garbage and that was the sublime and all so accurate Frontline - now there was an awesome show created by talented and intelligent people. IMB has ACA's approval rating of 2.1 out of ten. So, there is hope for mankind although one wonders who were watching to get a score at all. Of course, back in the eighties Home and Away had a cast mainly of everyday looking people with the token pretty girl and boy. It was by today’s standards a rather innocent little family show. Today it basically serves as a soft porn show for emotionally challenged teens - that's going by the commercials only (I tell no lie). And the Liberals and Sky news still have their hateful addiction and loathing for the ABC. What a sad situation - yes, a current sad affair. Can someone please do an expose on Martin King. Just kick his door in and follow him up the street whilst verbally baiting the man. Revenge is sweet but rare.

[@funkyblue2]

Gold as always.

[@Hudpix16]

I remember that Chewbacca one. So hilarious 😂😂😂. Feel bad for the lady victim of the prank calls 😂

[@andrewthomas2715]

Margaret Pomeranz is a living legend

[@mirakimber6333]

[@missymurphy9002]

Oh Margaret, you've done it again 😂😂😂

[@bas4903]

Spot on Margaret

[@LK-252]

Go Margaret! :)

[@alfredvanravenswaay1260]

Margaret is a national treasure imop

[@elwyn5150]

The first time I watched this, I thought Barking Dog Man was Bob Katter.

[@downthebandicoothole]

Need more of this

[@assa92004]

Martin Di Stasio with that chilling report :)

[@oscarbear1043]

Piddler on the roof, what a champion.

[@johnknight9150]

Is Margaret back on telly these days (The Weekly aside)? 'Cos I'd love to watch her regularly on telly again.

[@One21Jiggawatts]

My dad considers ACA to be The News.

[@jasyamaha]

Very good

[@barebonesteaching]

Rolling around laughing!!!!!

[@64fargo]

havent watched it for years - but not my problem as i dont have to pay for it

[@lynncaldwell8345]

The Women.s Weekly is still a great msgazine.

[@jeanhawken4482]

Wonderful

[@heartshapedisle]

Maragaret is the GOAT

[@brianinglis3805]

I knew it was you Margaret, stealing bits of my hose!

[@danieljeftic6181]

The scary part is that people do watch the Current Affair, and even the scariest part is that they vote........

[@davidh6300]

Perfect demonstration of a withering critique without the need for profanity.

[@janewest5787]

Fantastic

[@keithlutman5611]

Good on you girl; you do good work.😂

[@TheKnobCalledTone.]

You couldn't make Frontline today because today's current affairs shows are beyond satire.

[@hashbrown777]

A Current Affair is like A Marital Affair; I doubt people who participate are looking for anything serious. But it still has consequences

[@MrThuggery]

You are awesome!

[@MerlinMan1579]

I call it 'A Current Despair'

[@Buujipoppu]

Thanks for picking up The Chaser's slack. Now, Today Tonight only seems to be dead, but it's actually hiding inside Seven News' skin

[@Celeste-in-Oz]

“Piddler on the roof” 🤣 …ACA has always been a joke.

[@markkilley2683]

It's about finding some one to blame or vilify. Sensationalism at it's worst. Miss the Movie Show.

[@1PaulG1]

"A Current Affair, providing trash media for the past 20 years"

[@fanaticforager6610]

A current affair, mmm🔍🤔 Another term for Embedded media ☣️⚠️ 1:43

[@eternallearner8185]

I'm no big fan of the Pomerantz, but I have agree that ACA has stooped to a low level, zero political content whereas in the "old days" political content was the main game. It has become an embarrassment for ch 9.

[@sixstringedthing]

I'm no big fan of any form of commercial television, but even I know that the "old days" of Mike and Jana actually pinging pollies with some tough questions are very old days indeed. For as long as I can remember, ACA's main game has been chequebook journalism and doorstopping any bogan family that will get their elderly viewer base riled up about "those awful people". They began producing the televisual equivalent of clickbait long before the word "clickbait" was even invented.

[@bambooshampoo3495]

Yeah we get it, ACA is trash TV. Not one fresh take on ACA in this feeble review. We saw and heard it all on Frontline 30 years ago.

[@BaxterThewall]

A Current Affair... Tabloid Television.

[@trinkabuszczuk6138]

Lol. Hard-hitting investigative news programme. Oh, and infomercials 😂

[@FollowTheSunAustralia]

😅more please

[@keirenle]

The stage of journalism is abysmal so naturally aca would go one lower to match the expectations

[@helenvann3506]

Margaret Lomeranz ♥️👍😂

[@Creedmoor65]

I don't care for ACA but my word, don't you ABC viewers think you're superior!

[@adriannehaddow8972]

Margaret at her best.

[@burninggiraffe6615]

Please do one in 60 minutes. The worst ‘journalism’ I’ve ever seen. Thanks Margaret

[@tom-vx1lp]

no, it's kids making bongs

[@littlemiss_76]

Can't stand ACA and 7s version it's Murdoch tabloids at it's best

[@craigmiller-randle8921]

A current of hot air

[@neddy7322]

excellent

[@alexiscolby9415]

A Current Affair is one of Australia’s top rating shows. It is a national treasure!

[@johnboxxy3432]

Sadly people watch this rubbish.

[@bennyfc1]

Mindless rage bait was around before the internet. 😂🤣😂

[@damienwilloughby]

🤣

[@darrynjm1971]

ACA has always been a disaster. Terrible TV.

[@Zog696]

A Current Affair garbage guaranteed to pong every time you haplessly stumble across it while navigating the brain dead wastelands of commercial television.

[@ewtwetrwerwteet]

Why didn't Geoffrey Leonard get featured

[@StevieCooper]

Quite amusing ahaha

[@hankhicks2265]

shameless

[@paulbata9649]

at least its not taxpayer funded!
