Reaction To The Shaun Micallef Programme - Feminism
This is my reaction to The Shaun Micallef Programme - Feminism
In this video I react to Australian comedy from Australian comedy sketch show The Shaun Micallef Programme that is about Feminism where he invites a feminist guest on and comedy ensues.
Original Video - • The Shaun Micallef Pro...

[@TheOneWhoMightBe]

Shaun is probably the King of absurdist comedy in Australia. From his characters on Full Frontal/Fast Forward like Milo Kerrigan, Fabio (the Most Beautiful Man in The Cosmos), and David McGahan, to the various incarnations of The Micallef P(r)ogram(me)/Micallef Tonight/Newstopia/, to Mad as Hell. Each and every one was capable of sending the viewer into stitches or utter confusion. Even all these years later I can't watch a Milo sketch without tears running down my cheeks. At one point Channel Nine poached him, but apparently had no idea what they were buying other than the fact he was popular. The show got off to a typically bizarre start (Shaun conducting a long-winded introduction to his first guest, then ending the interview almost immediately since he'd covered everything there was to talk about) and then was spectacularly canned after some unintended foreshadowing.

[@NicholasTurnerOZ]

His Fabio stuff is still funny after all this time, unlike other comedians from the same period

[@Fanta....]

​@@NicholasTurnerOZ when he rides in on the bike, turns it off, starts talking and the bike starts up again is fkn hilarious

[@user-rz2rr3cp9n]

He is a very smart guy, Amish road rage is one of my favourites.

[@Ashadowtotheworld]

Best thing to ever come out of Australian TV.

[@joejoe2658]

@@Ashadowtotheworld No way, Lano and Woodley are iconic!

[@gregdownton4096]

Also, check out Shaun as Milo Kerrigan!! So funny!

[@Redwarfa]

I get the giggles everytime I still nearly wet my pants

[@BenPresland]

He has so many great comedy sketches from over the years. I think my favourites from back in the day were a short sketch series he had called “Roger Explosion”. He was playing a character called David McGahan (one of his long running characters) who had an acting past as Roger Explosion (a 007 type character).

[@drphwoar]

My friend once met him and told him he likes Milo Kerrigan. Shaun replied "You can have him!"

[@BMA967]

I just love all the characters they came up with, with the silly names. I miss that show.

[@TheLSW88]

Such a great show - I love the Dracula has a sea change sketch and the Polite Distances sketch - All the David Mcgan's world sketchs are great too. Keep these reactions coming!

[@jatticusfinch9015]

“Hey everyone! Bazza here used to be a vassal to the Turkish army in the fifteenth century! “I guess you had to be there.”

[@2technoboy2]

Polite distances is the bestest

[@buzzcomber]

“Dra-cula, like West Coast Cooler” 😂

[@latenightlogic]

incredibly glad there’s more reactions to the micallef program. this is australia’s best comedian in his best show. i’ve waited and hoped for many years someone would do reactions to this. there’s a lot of nominations for best sketch. polite distances is short but arguably his finest.

[@theboringphil]

As an Australian I love to see someone finally reacting to Shaun Micallef. If you want to see something a bit different from his show, I recommend the English Have A Go and Spiffington Manse sketches.

[@godlikemonolith]

The people in the thread not understanding that the joke is on the interviewer exposing his sexism as satire is frightening.

[@kathyconway5327]

It’s a great sketch that I’d never seen; must of been on a commercial station. But I wouldn’t get too worried by comments - it’s very clear that people who search out affirmation of their idk, cultural uniqueness? have a kind of tabloid view of the world. I’m just glad that our Scots host has found some treasure amongst the trash he’s usually asked to review.

[@Chapps1941]

It was on the ABC​ 1998 I think this episode was made @@kathyconway5327

[@Mrmikey0909]

In your opinion. You are God like though. In your own opinion. Unfortunately not everybody has such a high opinion of themselves as you.

[@Mrmikey0909]

​@@kathyconway5327ABC. No commercial channel would ever show anything like this.

[@Chapps1941]

Micallef's comedy is the very best Australia has produced. He nailed irony, absurdism and satire.

[@jenniferharrison8915]

He was great as the host of 'Talking bout your generation' too! 🤗

[@StandAsYouAre]

Shaun hosted a game show called Talkin’ ‘bout your generation. And it was hilarious! There are probably a few clips here on KZbin.

[@Gearoffod]

Brilliant. Was actually called The Micallef Pogram, causing most to think the TV Guide had made a typo..Week after week. :)

[@sfdntk]

Actually it was called The Micallef Program for the first series, then in the first episode of the second series Shaun noted that people had written letters to the ABC complaining about the US spelling of "program", so the second series was named The Micallef Program(me), and then in the third series he renamed it to The Micallef Pogram as a reference to the first two name changes. It's convention now to refer to the show as The Micallef P(r)ogram(me) when talking about the series as a whole.

[@candycanessongs]

He is a Lawyer /Barrister? by trade. He does the straight man part so well

[@Ken-er9cq]

He has a law degree but has almost never worked as one. I think he got started doing revues at university. I can't remember him putting on a bad show.

[@daniellamcgee4251]

​@@Ken-er9cqThat is correct. Adelaide University. That's where he met Francis.

[@Ken-er9cq]

@@daniellamcgee4251 He mentioned somewhere that in common with Andrew Bolt he went to Adelaide University and now presents a pretend current affairs program.

[@MrDeano-eu9rg]

Saying lawyer "by trade" seems weird...like he's a chippy or a sparky.

[@crouchingwombathiddenquoll5641]

​@@MrDeano-eu9rg Good point, can't confuse lawyers with honest workers.

[@michaellee8816]

If I can suggest one sketch - "I bloody Dare Ya!" - a take off of those challenge celebrity shows - it's fantastic

[@bront9990]

Love Shaun ! There was a show in Australia called "Thank God You're Here ' He was so good when he was on it! I'd love to see a reaction to an episode of that show.

[@gregoryparnell2775]

He is Brilliant.

[@bluecedar7914]

Ooowhh, kid in a candy store time! My favourites are - Count Dracula's sea change; "Cockburn"; filing cabinet prostitute and Randy Twiss as Quasimodo changing a car tyre and singing the Lord's prayer.

Found it Milo kerrigan..so good bro

[@Shunarjuna]

The Dr. Miracle sketches were hilarious. There was a lawyer one as well but I forgot the name.

[@elizabethle221]

I am familiar with Shaun Micallef. I really like this satire type sketch, especially when addressing certain issues in society. Thank you Elizabeth from Australia.

[@AndyGraceMedia]

He's a great guy. I've had him in my studio many times and he's truly a brilliant guy both on air and off. Slightly less manic off air. On air you have to keep your wits about you as his mind works at lightning speed.

[@Chapps1941]

His faux interviews are simply the best on the planet. So many packed and powerful verbal punches in this discourse.

[@gregdownton4096]

Have a look at Bob and Cheryl Ugly, from Full Frontal!! Absolute classic!

[@TheOneWhoMightBe]

Or Neville and Beuila. Hello Raaayyyyy! God only know how many takes those skits needed.

[@echardtschloeder5178]

Back in the day, it was listed as the Shaun Micallef Pogram in the TV guide and it looked like a funny typo, but that was the name of the show. Teenage me found that hilarious.

[@steveheywood9428]

Shaun was certainly ahead of time c. 30 years ago. PS any chance of not squishing the video down so much, as it was a bit flattened. 👍

[@castortroy4960]

BTW, for a little context. Shaun used to be a lawyer before he got into comedy - which you can notice in a lot of his sketch comedy dialogue.

[@audiebavington8789]

My favourite Aussie comedian. Super clever and lightening quick.

[@bathtubanarchy]

The sketch "Dog Whistle" is my favourite, it's on youtube as well.

[@mikelee9137]

You've got to check out Shaun's much more recent news 'satire' show 'Mad as Hell' pretty much everything he does is excellent - a true Australian treasure

[@maxfish4770]

He was unreal on Thank God You're Here. So was Angus Sampson and Carl Baron

[@zizhiqu]

Such a difficult sketch to write. It would be so easy to go over the top, but Shaun has it well balanced. There are some beautiful little gestures and deliveries. I think it would be a hard sell for anyone to pick up on his humour on first viewing. Well done to those who did. I have a few American friends who would simply dismiss this out of hand and pleadingly ask what on earth was funny about it.

[@Atleysprogram]

we had a show here called" thank god youre here" it was all improv. he fking killed it. love shaun. he also had a show a few years ago about news and politics. very clever if your into that stuff. im not into politics and it was still hilarious. he just takes the piss out of everyone hahahaha. cleverly. hahaha

[@the1ben]

That's quite old, you should check out his more recent stuff - Mad as Hell. It might not hit as well since it involves a lot of local political satire, with the cast impersonating various federal politicians.

[@arconeagain]

I find Roz very attractive, on both levels. Brilliant, subtle humour, I love it!

[@Chapps1941]

I'm in love with Roz too. I wished l was Wayne Hope in "Ms Nude Australia" when he cuts the ribbon and she's a dignatry

[@djvoid1]

Some of his sketches just broke your brain back in the day. There was one I can't find on KZbin where he's playing a doctor and tells a woman "I'm sorry, we've lost him" and she hugs him and starts crying l, but then reels back looking disgusted and says "you've got an erection!", to which the doctor character replies "oh no it's my belt, I've got a big old buckle on it!" before the scene randomly cuts to two men dressed like The Two Ronnies...so bizarre

His Milo Kerrigan character was the best. Absolutely hilarious.

[@sfdntk]

This series of the Micallef P(r)ogram(me) featured a lot of sketches in which Shaun kisses Roz, like a LOT of sketches, to the extent that it almost became a little suss, like he was into her and kept writing sketches that would let him make out with her. Just speculation of course, as far as I know they've never been romantically linked, it was just very noticeable when the series aired.
