Reaction To Clive Palmer - Funny as Hell (Shaun Micallef Mad as Hell)

[@georgiemoon9990]

I miss Mad as Hell SO much. Come back Shaun!

[@janmortimer1758]

Same!

Sean Micallef is a national treasure, he's been a mainstay of the comedy scene in Australia for decades. A trained barrister, pivoted to comedy - he's had some great sketch comedy shows in the past but really is at his best doing political satire.

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

Clive got elected once to the senate and hardly turned up. When he did turn up he mostly slept through all proceedings

[@CLAWCUZBRO]

he's our dumb Donald do not let him drive the bus

[@timrozitis961]

Not sure what happened (apologies if this posts twice). Palmer is a successful businessman in the same way Trump is - he's got a lot of money and a lot of crazy ideas, but there's surprisingly few successful business ventures he's tried. He was an MP (can' remember if he also sat in the Senate at a different time) for a while and learnt that basically as an independent it's practically impossible to have too much influence let alone be PM. He created a party that was mainly Right, although it seemed to be made up of randoms - and won very few seats (I think maybe in their entire history they've won 2 or 3 seats - MPs *and* Senators (excluding himself)). I think they might have a current Senator.....but their cost of campaign vs number of Members/Senators elected is quite extreme..... I don't particular like him or what he stands for - but he's got a right to have a go, and it's normally a good laugh when he does.

[@kathyconway5327]

Well he was never ever fighting to win a seat - his endeavours were clearly an endevour to harvest preferences from voters who didn’t like the majors which were then re directed to LNP. More importantly 90% of his political messaging was directed against Labor in a particularly abrasive and post truth manner that would have possibly have alarmed a few traditional Liberal voters but won over others who were on the fence. He’s a cancer on our politics but is now joined by big tech big money big bots, along with all their other billionaire mates.

[@SharonMcauley-h1w]

This was entertaining and funny thank you

[@threestumps7560]

Clive was trying to rebuild the Titanic in Tianjin don't think he ever finished it. Another pollie you will have to check out is Bob Katter also from the great state of Queensland 😅😅☀️☀️

[@jaredoliver9347]

crazy katter party haha hes mental

[@MelodyMan69]

Both are fruitloops.

[@karenlittle8041]

He certainly seems to think a lot of himself. Also very litigious which is an Aussie is quite unsporting.

[@cherylhiggins9966]

Have a look at your reaction to Could China invade Australia, Clive is in that one as well.

[@1legend517]

I remember when Clive Palmer took premier of Western Australia Mark McGowan to court for defamation and lost the case. The exchanges between Clive Palmer and Mark McGowan during the Covid pandemic was hilarious. Including Mark comparing Clive to an invasive Cane Toad.

[@genie674]

Loved Mark McGowan standing up to his bullying.

[@paulsandford3345]

He only lost, because McGowan made himself exempt from prosecution, which remains the fact to this day! Now ask yourself why?

[@mort8143]

I never met Clive, but I know his mother and her four daughters well. 🤣🇦🇺

[@CLAWCUZBRO]

bro really bahaaa

[@deegee7133]

Other Shaun Micallef skits and pieces to consider reacting to: Union Bully; Senate Voting; Schoolgirl Open Letter to the PM; Sky News Guns and then Sky Water; Food People Lower Prices

[@suesmith7946]

Another pollie who is in it for lining his own pockets.

[@warwickofnorwich]

Shaun went to Uni with Chris Pyne. I guess they didn’t get along then.

[@wnood]

If his name is mentioned, you dont wait to hear the story, as his name alone is the punchline. The party mentioned had gained popularity during a time when voters were tired of the 2 main parties. This has happened at different times throughout Aussie history, where small groups make enough noise they end up winning a few seats. But once in power they do very little and rarely make any positive change whilst in power. They talk big, making a few waves (generally only ripples) but their lack of real political knowledge ends up shining through and eventually voters move away from them.

[@jvvoid]

Apart from knowing that I don't want to know about him, I try to know as little about C Palmer as possible, and must admit I've been quite successful at it.

[@sophitsa79]

He's the Temu version of Elon Musk

[@rodneycampbell2964]

He’s a lowlife, he made a Lot of money, by not paying people. That includes workers in his companies

[@Dehvonne]

Yea Shaun’s cool 😎

[@Mediawatcher2023]

Clive Palmer who promised rebuild the Titanic he mentioned this twenty years ago but us Australians know he is full of BS

[@brbandiera]

You do realise he doesn't owe you anything

[@kathyconway5327]

@@brbandierabut we feel for all the workers of his failed ventures that he does owe money to.

[@paulsandford3345]

UAP is a conservative party of the right who believes in freedom for the people to choose and not have government forced apon them!

[@Fiona-zp2qt]

We Australians shorten words, but come on.

[@RichardGodber-p1s]

Clive makes Donald 🍊 🤡 look intelligent and healthy

[@edwinakemp8554]

this is a really funny clip from Mad As Hell. It features a hilarious "spokesman" for Mathias Cormann. A recent finance minister born in Austria who liked to quote Arnold Schwarzenegger, Vkzbin.info/www/bejne/r2HIemamZ7umo6csi=Go6cTMlOsipsChwN

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

As far as I can tell Clive Palmer is running the Trump playbook. That’s not “interesting”, it’s frightening.

[@raffisekzenian2746]

He’s a bully.

[@Pomdownuder]

Australia's Donald Trump. Default on people's wages, work entitlements. Closed his holiday resort without paying staff, to fund his political aspirations.

[@bettymarshall2702]

Just because they get lucky or inherit billions of dollars does not mean they have to be smart. Gina Rinehart, smart, Clive Palmer, not so smart and really dumb is Andrew Forrest.
