This week we enter the world of Australian sketch comedy with the very funny Shaun Micallef, and one of his Game Show Segments from The Micallef Program. Note: contains fake body parts.
I like his Blankety Blanks parody as well, and if you know who Ugly Dave Gray is you’ll get a little bit more from it.
Fun Thing Found on Youtube Friday No. 2.
It’s Pyramid, BUT!
– It’s Aussie!
– It’s from Autumn 2009 (so a new show to their part of the world)!
– It’s got kids!

I wonder if the format would work onn CBBC as if they have got enough on the CBBC roster?
Oh, that’s pretty cool! Interesting to see that 2waytraffic own the format now.
I think the format is strong enough that it’s hard to make it and have it not work. Not impossible, but hard.
Given Sony now owns 2waytraffic and the Pyramid rights. I suspect they had them produce the show over there as a second show, since they also produce Millionaire Hot Seat.
Micallef clippage is always worth watching. He revived the segment for his 2009/10 New Years Rave show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blCsQs6ziOw
Cheers Mark, I was introduced to Micallef years and years ago and quite liked him, but it was your championing of Newstopia which led me to rediscovering him. He is *brilliant*.
Troll Patrol: Looks like this one is Russian…
