After The Front Fell Off…
The other day, my good friend Brian Hill aka Bdog2g2 posted “The Front Fell Off“ to MixxingBowl.com. I was surprised that quite a few people haven’t seen this before – a sketch done by John Clarke and Bryan Dawe. More on that in a sec, but to kick off, if you haven’t seen “The Front Fell Off” before, here it is:
John Clarke and Bryan Dawe are two of the finest comedians, actors, and satirists in Australian history. Over the last few decades, they’ve specialized in political satire, focusing on major news events both within Australia and around the world, always highlighting how lacking in common sense the-powers-that-be seem to be.
Starting in 1989, on Channel 9 Australia‘s A Current Affair, Clarke and Dawe decided to do mock interviews focusing on current events. While hysterical and funny, the mock interviews always highlighted how absurd the political decision making process seems to be at times. Much later, the pair moved to ABC News Australia‘s 7:30 Report, and have been a standard fixture of the show every week.
Here’s a whole bunch of some of their other awesome mock interviews worth checking out:
