My dad had reserved seats next to him at the footy in the 80s. He was a nice guy to 7yo me.
R.I.P. Bruce Ruxton (1926-2011)
FAST FORWARD WAS KING 👑 😅
I'd love them to re-run this series from the start... God I miss good comedy.
These were the days when Australians were able to laugh at themselves and we all knew that everything we believed in was a complete joke. Uncle bruce was classic. Loved the episode when it was the Queen's birthday 'we need all the queens we can get'! I could agree more with darkhawk's comment 'RIP Australian comedy'.
Me too. Watching TH-cam as there is nothing on 100 channels. Watching fast forward. tears in the eyes from laughing
Amen.
Geoff Brooks is why we have so much censorship today lol . Loved it when he cut down the Bee
Rumper Room was a classic! I never laughed so hard!
I miss this this show heaps... reminds me of when humour was humour
R.I.P. Australian comedy.
darkhawk1979 fuck the Democrats, these guys kept bastards honest right across the board. They went after everyone who let stupid spill out of their mouth. Politicians, advertisements, celebrities. We need them more than ever.
darkhawk1979 i
Ah the good old days on the telly
1:59 don’t worry about those little lumpy bits The kids would think they are coco pops 😁😂
Uncle Bruce was right on the money with where he believed younger generations were headed, given the teachers being produced at the time .
Nut job personified.
Thanks @phillryan1749.
Nothing like a bowl of wool and milk to start the day!
ironically jane turner is reviewing her own gymnastics
Bruce Bren-gun...classic!
Jane Turner........Always had a thing for her.
2:14
Holy shit. Prophetic. Now look at Australia; can't decide whether men are men or men are women.
World has gone to sh!t in a hand basket. When comedy dies, like it has, it's the first signs of a falling country.
Elaine from Seinfeld so got her style from here
Was Thinking the exact same thing!
I'm just gonna throw it out there- Marg Downey was a babe back then.
Yes. I agree because I did have a crush on her.
Man we need Rumpus Room today. Holy shit that was before it’s time.
😄🤣😂😁😄😃😂😅 LOVE Lyn & Carmel….
lol bloody Bruce and his incinerator XD
Oh uncle Bruce hahahaha
Miss ya Bruce
They'd never get away with saying some of this stuff now. What a pity, 'cause it was bloody hilarious.
R.I.P. Mr Doobey
Love it !!
LOL at 4:02 - I'll Do The Barstard! hahahahaha
4:06 LMAO Thats me dancing.
Political correctness destroyed real comedy like this.
If more people O'seas watched Fast Forward on TH-cam they might like it.
AND THAT'S WHY WE SHOULD KEEP THE BLOODY FLAG THE SAME
Kath and Kim characters were almost complete by this stage
Brilliant Mr DoBe
ah the great vhs audio noise
you can't tell me those ballroom dancing sequences aren't just Kath and Kel with slightly different hair (yes I know they're the same actors, that's my point)
yes! :D
It's such a shame, we used to be brilliant at comedy. So was the UK. 😟
I didn't know bob katter was on romper romp
No Hannah Gadsby here!
The chik at the end is marion
Elaine off Seinfled kicks before Elaine did them
he killed mr doobie lol
GOLD ♥️
teenage mutant ninja turnips!! classic
sad but true
These old talent shows were fantastic because you would see good acts but also lots of nut cases. Apparently the idea was you just turned up at the studio with no audition and on you went
yes marg was very pretty when she was young. Have a look at her in 'a very small business ' she looks very middle aged
We'll never see the likes of comedy like this every again. I blame the progressive left, globalism and many other factors...
What a crock of shit. Theres still plenty of good comedy around. Blame the fact that TV stations would rather make more money putting a bunch of morons on reality TV shows than pay for writers and comedians to produce a comedy show. But hey, keep making shit up about how it was "the lefties" that ruined it instead lol. Half the people in this are lefties themselves, hence why they are taking the piss out of conservative shitbag like Bruce Ruxton .
Well there's always The Project heh...
To all the people lamenting the state of Australian comedy. Like EVERYTHING, comedy has evolved; that is the natural state of things. Australian comedy is as strong as ever, and among the best in the world right now, and largely because it HAS evolved, unlike American comedy which is lagging behind on so many levels.
Just because comedy becomes more diverse, high-brow and inclusive, doesn't automatically make it crap. If that were the case we wouldn't have Aussie comedians winning awards overseas for the quality of their performances, we wouldn't have packed out gigs every year for Australian comedians at the International Comedy festival, and we wouldn't have comedians starting to break the US market.
Everything changes for a reason, and as Australia has become a far more sophisticated nation, we have started to expand our horizons, and not look so 'inward' for our comedy, but rather to see ourselves as part of a global community, and as such, our comedy has evolved, and, as I said, is arguably some of the best comedy in the world right now.
"Everything changes for a reason." Sometimes the reasons are questionable. Such is the case when we see change simply changes sake. And not all change is positive. Australia has progressed, but I wouldn't rush to call it 'sophisticated' because we've got too much of a problem with political correctness. I think people here are mostly lamenting the loss of Australian sketch comedy. There's nothing today to carry on the tradition of The Comedy Company, Fast Forward, Full Frontal and Big Girl's Blouse.
What is 'political correctness'? What do you mean when you use that term?
I'm also not sure what the connection is between the loss of Australian sketch-comedy and this nebulous concept of 'political correctness'.
Google the term if you don't understand it. But it has killed a lot of comedy. Steve Vizard and Michael Veitch couldn't ham it up today as effeminate flight attendants. No comedy show would be courageous enough to write such a sketch and, if they dared perform it, it would be axed when the network airing it caved into all the whinging complaints.
No, you're throwing the concept of "political correctness" out there as an argument, but "political correctness" is a nebulous concept, that is, it's unclear what it actually means. It's not an argument in-and-of itself. And if you're going to use it, don't you think you should have some understanding of what it means? At least to you?
"It's not an argument in-and-of itself"
It may be a broad subject, but it's hardly nebulous when its effects are very real. I just Googled it for you - "the avoidance of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against." That matches my own understanding of it, although I'd go further and say it can be subversive in the way it's sometimes applied. We don't need to define it any further and get into a discussion on the semantics. The way it hinder freedom of expression is what's relevant here.
I have an article rather sums up how political correctness applies to the realm of Australian comedy. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5680605/The-old-Australian-comedy-sketches-NEVER-away-today-political-correctness.html
I agree.
Back in these days they all were paid nothing. They did it fotlr laughs and to progress. The gymnastics seems like a idea that roy and hg borrowed.
he was funny as Bruce on romper room but Geoff is better at playing one part of the dodgy Brothers with Steve Blackburn and I still have a Mr Doobie plush toy today I got it when I was about 6 it's dirty it's Around the house somewhere
TheBundychick82
Awwww I would have loved to have a Mr. Doo-Bee when I was a kid.
I used to LOVE watching Romper Room every morning. Getting up to bend and stretch. And waiting for my name to be said through the magic mirror at the end of the show hehe
DONALD TRUMP 1990
j smith
Exactly what I was thinking.
Especially at 2:14 😜🤣
Don't you mean Archie Bunker?
Trouble is now in 2024, people have no sense of humor....
Australia is now wasted.... 2024
I fail to see anything funny. I personally think the rest of the world wrote far better comedy than Australians. British, Scottish, Canadian and USA comedy is much better.
I miss this! I was wondering what the noise was in the background...it was all the Karen's being offended and exploding!
🤣 "it will get your whites whiter than white, and the coloured's as well probably"
Fucking gold!
Political correct..... more words for YOU CANT HAVE FUN or TALK TRUTH
im offended!
