The Micallef P(r)ogram(me)

Parliament

[@PanasonicTooth]

Great impression of every Aussie politician ever.

[@The1nsane1]

The minister is a suppository of wisdom.

[@erendorable]

it's amazingly timeless

[@petermcgill1315]

Do you have a time machine?

[@erendorable]

@@petermcgill1315 if I said I did, would you reply to my comment from six years ago ~30 minutes ago? Because that's a good way to keep track of these things, it turns out.

[@petermcgill1315]

@@erendorable just checking!

[@pmcamacho6447]

I'm a bit late to this sketch but it's very reminiscent of Peter Costello over anyone else. It's the smugness that even exceeds Morrison.

[@jonginder5494]

Scott Morrison watched this every single morning before question time 😂😂

[@benjaminjones6586]

Mr Speaker, the Member for Brand is looking at me.

[@robertbaldie7]

"Mr. Speaker, i'm not about to stab the Prime Minister in the back, by doing that, hack away at his skull with an axe, Mr. Speaker, and eat him, and I don't think anybody hear is seriously asking me to do that" LMAO! Micallef is a Genius / Legend of comedy!

[@goldencalf5144]

Spot on impersonation of fake tough guy, Peter Costello

[@EdDaMia]

Great impression of Peter Costello

[@muddwell]

Shaun Micallef is a comedic genius.

[@doubtingthomas6146]

Remarkably prescient of Tony Abbott's contributions as prime minister

[@arnoldm769]

Annnnnnnnnd he’s gone

[@drid2507]

He stopped the boats, and now they're back under Labor....

[@smart_azz104]

@@drid2507Stopped the boats, LNP shills will fall for anything.

[@ShishakliAus]

@@drid2507 ah yes... those boats... Australia's biggest and most pressing issue. If only we could stop those boats and then Australia would be great again

@@ShishakliAus border security is a big part of a multi piece puzzle to a prosperous nation. I won't waste my time explaining it to you, you wouldn't understand.

[@nswhorse]

I defy anyone to point out the key differences between this and a real Question Time speech.

[@DrDVCotton]

There are fewer interruptions and less background noise in the above.

[@presntnow]

This is educational

[@pharmajoe990]

This is far more succinct than actual parliament

[@EelisWalking]

So little said in so many words sums Question Time up perfectly

[@catha.j.stuart2200]

Almost exactly Peter Costello and his smugness

[@RoyBrown777]

Still 100% accurate in 2020, nothing has changed.

[@Eyclonus]

Fits ScoMo like a glove

[@MagicMalky]

when he says "sick and fed up to the gills" that bit, the head kicks he does are remarkably exceptional

[@dariobon]

I saw exactly this happening today at Question Time!!

[@juups4857]

"Mr. Speaker, the honourable member for Brandt is looking at me" LOL

[@royboy7256]

💯 accurate. Honourable mention to Wayne Hope in the background

[@LHyoutube]

The member for very small business...

[@82finger]

micallef is a legend. highly underrated

[@PredestinedCalvinist]

I'm American, I thought this was real at first haha

[@caitlinbourke6253]

It's close enough !

[@jasbowen5145]

It might as well been PMSL.. Australian politics are nuts, Im glad to be an ozzie, LOL

[@AutumnPuffin]

Don't worry, it is now, and with the deputy prime minister no less

[@presntnow]

Shaun Micallef is a qualified Solicitor/Lawyer too.

[@ineseburgess937]

Just love his work! 👏👏👏

[@hightimli]

timeless. i imagine this to be so old, yet somehow parliament does not seem to have changed one bit.

[@TrojanHampster93]

This makes me smile so intensely. Micallef is genius.

[@LHyoutube]

This would have to be the most accurate representation of Australian politics of all fucking time! 😂

[@Judgeharm]

In the real Question time they say "Mr. Speaker" at least 3 times as much.

[@danzigvssartre]

Sounds exactly like Clive Palmer without the constant shortness of breath.

[@leejam5268]

More talent on that front bench than the last 6 governments we've had

[@mcqualter]

and.. rainfall, to its highest recorded level since the depression. classic

[@XChampaignDreamX]

"Mr. Beazley's own personal White Giant". That is absolute gold :'D

[@r0bz0rly]

hahahaha. "this beazley black hole. this beazley...quasar". I fucking love micallef so much

[@sloanethedog]

AHAHAHA Mr. Speaker the Honorable member for Brand is looking at me.

[@RadicalValkyrie]

NEVER DELETE THIS VIDEO. :D

[@nibiru250]

"We can PROMISE.......we can PROMISE that the Australian people one thing that Labor could never provide in its thirteen years of office, its thirteen YEARS of - hard labour" LOLOLOL

OMG SEAN! I need more of this! Tears.

[@roms303]

This guy always makes me laugh!!! Thanks for uploading :-)

[@gasman1155]

Sounds like me winging it in my law class 😂

[@UberNoodle]

Almost impossible to tell the difference between this skit and actual goings on in Parliament.

[@mikespearwood3914]

Yeah, the parody is spot-on, including saying "Mr. Speaker" at least 20 times in a long-winded nothing speech.

[@hatecubed]

even less or more timeless than it was before. Incredible

[@shaunp4502]

This is so well done! This is exactly how Question Time plays out...

[@r0bz0rly]

mr speaker, mr speaker.

[@JeffVader39]

Comedy king!

[@anonleft]

The difference between this and the real thing is the real thing is sillier.

[@MassiveJungle]

Thirteen YEARS thirteen YEARS of ah...hard Labor...

[@Nurr0]

2023: Still perfectly accurate.

[@ewetoo]

It's like a highly-tuned racing car.

[@LewisTheTool]

hahahaha fuck it must have been hard for the people behind him to keep a straight face

[@BiggestRedman]

That's a quality front bench!

[@nathanparkinson3955]

Nailed it

[@RoasterMcdougalify]

spot on.

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

When pollies die..they bury them in a 20 foot deep hole......It seems that, deep down, they are really nice people

Warning us about Kevin Rudd and his Scimitar of Death

[@brayrobert201]

@chauncer123 Not at all. "In answer to the honourable member's second question. No" Who has ever heard such a direct answer? However, how much of this was heard by Gillard pre and post knifing?

[@user-ih8qm5dy3l]

This is gold, Shaun McAuliffe is SOOOO UNDERSTATED as a comedian...His material is GOLDEN

[@DiNKuMToranaDRIVER]

[@Drinapropriatetouch]
