Comedy Company was an Australian institution. Everyone would watch with their families and everyone would be quoting the jokes at school the next day. Thanks for the share.

[@childrensorg856]

Spot on, you heard imitations and quotes next day at school. I was a bit like "Kylie" when I was in high school back then lol.

[@lady_bexy]

The original Australian meme!😂😂 She goes, she goes, she goes, she just goes! Spitting blood! 😂😂

WATCHING CHRISTMAS DAY IN 2024, LOVE MY AUSTRALIA ❤❤❤

[@aaronchristopherbeasley724]

Best show growing up in the 80s loved it

[@houseofsaudisthebeast]

80s? bruz we was watching this in the 90s

[@TheSamjane4]

Colin Carpenter was such a classic…still funny. Also loved Kylie Mole 😂

[@BethDoublekickChick]

As a kid born in 1980, this means so much! Thankyou 🤘🤩🤘🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺

[@IanGorton]

Same as me

[@Chadpollack]

84 model myself, remember straight home from school hide my uneaten lunch and naughty boy notes then to my black and white TV, turn the dial to find ABC for monkey magic then wait for sister and mum to finish watching Neighbours and home and away worst hr of my life, then comedy central, later on Fast forward and full Frontal. Eric banere played Pete names Pete sweet want a VB him and Carl was the best and kylie mole was funny, she knows she knows she goes she goes Australian comedy is far more witty and shit stirring. Nothing was off limits. Im autistic and half the characters was mentally challenged in same way, and the word retard was ues all the time, it was funny i thought im a retard and proud, but the word spastic is horrible im retarded not stupid, now Americans has stuffed up our layed back larrikin way of life coz they racists, country investors and backward gun crazy wanks. Aussies are beer drinking pub fighting larrikins. Pub fights was how i made friends, being autistic making friends is hard but making enemies is easy, my no sense of social Queues or having no feelings like norms means i say shit the offence but its 100% truthful people dont like the truth, where i can't lie takes to much time to think and remember what shit was said. Oh yer and America Australian 80's 90's music trumps you're music and its still better then your new stuff. Only thing America is good for is movies and for the rest of the world to watch and laugh and see what not to do

I still say it wasn't me it was the back youm cleana

[@fionamackie3357]

OMG🤣 Coln. It's shameful we don't have this kind of comedy on air these days.

[@66secularist]

It's a bit hard when offence taking is so fashionable.

[@taralee7076]

We need more of this when comedy was fun

[@MelissaWalker-xb9hp]

This was screened over here in NZ ...it brings back my youth!

[@mikeZL3XD7029]

Comedy Company..... You couldn't do this now for fear of everyone being offended. This troupe of comedians MADE life down under in the late 1980's. They were so great at what they did. I love you all for what you did at the time!!

[@markwegner6821]

In the late 80's, through to the end of 1990 this show (and 'hey hey its saturday') gave an opportunity for 🇦🇺 Australias' greatest comedians to show their talents and get famous. America had lots of Comedy clubs and late night 🌃 shows. But the comedy company was the best breeding ground, and this is a rare 🎁 show you've given us. 💎

[@Australian_Made]

And Fast Forward tooo. .

[@shelleyburslem3802]

I’m so old, I remember waiting all week for a new episode. Thanks for the memories 💜🇦🇺

[@Fazzassuperbabies]

This show was so well done. So hilarious. I loved this show when I was a kid.

[@leighatkins22]

I was born to enjoy the comedy just a decade earlier in the form of HOGES... And you can see the influences of Paul Hogan in the Comedy Company as well... ❤❤❤

Miss the good old days when Australia was a great place to live

[@SharonBraybon]

So agree😢😢​@@kathym1980

[@ray.shoesmith]

How old were you when this show aired?

[@kathym1980]

@ray.shoesmith I was a teenager, the series ran for while.. I would have been about 16

[@ray.shoesmith]

@@kathym1980 Thank you. I was actually directing that at the OP, for some reason I had already put your age at roughly 43-44 yo

[@EdenFoxx7]

😂❤ good memories, thankyou for this compilation. I can't believe we moved to Australia 37 years ago 🇵🇱🇦🇺🌏🐨

[@chekkygurl182]

Funny how I can now understand and appreciate how clever these skits still are now as an adult. I was only a tiny kid when this was on.

[@TonyRule]

45:14 He barely stifled that laugh after the line about _"kissing a cold, wet, unconscious woman"_ was _"just like being married"_

[@OkinInc]

As a 10 year old kiwi I videoed these and would watch them with the family all the time. Funniest show ever. That Play House skit is legendary and now I get all the jokes 😂😂.

[@simonettacarsonelli]

Who can go past the iconic Con the Fruiterer, and Col'n.

[@R1979CampCrystalLake]

Thank you for sharing these❤🇦🇺 nothing will compare to the Australian tv and lifestyle alot of us remember from the 80s and 90s this is a gem you have created i really appreciate it thank you so much ❤

[@thesausage351]

Holy shit this takes me back! This, Fast Forward and Full Frontal was hilarious to me as a kid. Such quality shows.

[@oinkooink]

It's so awesome to see Glen Robbins in blackface too.

[@thesausage351]

@@oinkooink if you choose not to be offended by something it ceases to be offensive. Do you think the intent was to be racist or to offend people, or do you think it was a skit everyone sat around and discussed and did it to be funny? Is it offensive when Chris Rock tells a joke involving whites? No. What about when Chris Rock tells a black joke? Nope, because he’s black. But it’s offensive when a white person makes a black joke or does blackface. Grow up and laugh at an obvious joke.

[@NatalieAnne22]

Excellent way to spend the next hour or so

[@cleaningcairns2251]

I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel!

[@RoughJustice2k18]

I remember seeing the very first episode of The Comedy Company when it aired on TV - February 16, 1988. Ideal Sunday evening viewing. Mary-Anne Fahey's street-smart, school-hating Kylie Mole character made "bogan" a more common and popular slang term. The final episode aired November 11, 1990. Fond memories of good, clean sketch comedy - something that no longer exists today.

[@xinlaizan3195]

Classic! Loved it. When tv was worth watching

[@jodieblythe8207]

I got a good laugh from this old classic comedy 🤣

[@djdazzydeaf7568]

Thank you so much for uploading these videos 🥰 such a great trip down memory lane. A great show to watch with the whole family and when I was a kid I always look forward to the Con the Fruiterer and Uncle Arthur segments❤❤❤🤣❤❤

Agape is Greek for fatherly love. I didn’t know that.until a Greek lady told me 5 years ago. When he says it, it sounds like ugupee, but it’s pronounced agapay. So cooooool .😄

Yes, definitely mid week TV.

[@bmacpher]

Holds up surprisingly well - one or two flat spots but overall pretty good. Progressive for its time and it shows.

[@jenscott6733]

Wonderful advice! And thank you for helping me realise how I have been in my feminine. I love how you bring awareness, thank you 🙏💖

I didn't expect to see Kel here lol. TIL Kel knight was already a big star before starring in Kath & Kim. Anyway, I'm glad to discover more about Aussie comedies.

Haha Sexpo! I went to that in Perth and accidentally left my new dildo on the train 😅The train security were nice enough to track me down and give my bag of goodies back with much laughter doing so 😂😂😂

I wonder what happened to some of them, kym gngell, russle gilbert, ian mc fadjen..

[@stretch8399]

When we were alll not afraid to take the Mick out of each other and ourselves in the name of comedy, without fear of woke retribution....

[@TheAngev]

Took the Mickey. Apart from the black face and Greek stereotyping, it was all innocent. Australia is a racist country.

[@ianrawlings2546]

Yeah, nah mate. Don't believe we ever stopped. That woke shit is American.

Before the 'blow-ins'? Yep

[@mrlox9576]

27:54 This show was ahead of its time. This is how knowledgeable people are today in the American main stream media and funny enough, the Australia's main stream media follow the same garbage.

[@lmcgready]

Fabulous! Where are they now??

[@dallasbatchy]

Preface: huge fan hilarious aussie talent miss it thank you. Not to be woe is me or anything but The Comedy Company & Fast Forward (USA's "In living colour" also) were hugely influential to my funny personality as they were a security blanket of escapism & source of inspiration for making people laugh aka the class clown, in a very fkd up childhood to be frank & crass, sorry. These simple sketch Comedy shows & comedians in general have performed a community service for decades that most may never be aware of except the comedians.. well most of them. The art of making people laugh is a double edge sword. Thanks for this nostalgic hit.

[@DougJenkins-hj6yb]

Wonderful memories of good old innocent Ozzie humour with also the likes of Paul Hogan prior to the comedy company, before the insanity of political correctness of profound proportions has helped kill such good talent and entertainment.

[@kelljA]

When comedy was just that, beofre the highly offended were born.

[@KAJAMAJA122]

And the global craziness of Woke and cancel culture too over . Good clean comedy .
