  • In 1988, a group of unknown comedians burst onto the TV scene with a show that revolutionised Australian television - The Comedy Company. Overnight it became the highest rating series of the year. The characters - Kylie Mole, Con the Fruiterer, and Colin Carpenter became household names. The show became compulsory Sunday night viewing.
    Now, for the first time this DVD presents a collection of their greatest sketches in their original form: uncut and uncensored. There's Kylie, Con, Colin, The Language of Football, Uncle Arthur, Jophasine, and many more. Also included are some scenes that have never been broadcast.
    Originally released on DVD in 2003.

    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.

      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 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.

      @@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.

    I laughed my fuckin head off (was the only one in the group) that Con the Fruiterer was resigened to such a fate

    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.
