Watched the real Skippy show in the UK as a kid,was telling the family about the show (now in Canada)came across this..... haven't laughed so hard in years.
Used to remember going with work colleagues after work on a Thursday or Friday night to HSV7 studios on Dorcas St, Sth Melbourne to watch them record Fast Forward several times. Late 80’s/early 90’s. Such fun.
What the hell was Michael Veitch thinking when he cooked up this messed up and twisted incarnation of Sonny Hammond. Both so funny and so wrong on many levels.
The real Skippy show usually used a real kangaroo, but in the close-up shots had obviously extremely fake stuffed paws that and you could see the puppeteer struggling to make the paws look natural next to the real animal's head. Watching as an adult you can't help but laugh at the fake paws and how the kangaroo always tried to ear-bat them away when they were making him itchy. Still it's Australia's Lassie-style kids classic and always will be.
This comedy simply brilliant, I wish Britain got it,truly one of the funniest shows ever,mind you at to at time British toe had the best of comedies,but as a sketch this is one of the greatest 😁
@@blahblaahh3004 south park was great back in its infancy on tv channel SBS but now its been commercialised on channel 7 Mate and its meh. Comedic Shows like Full Frontal , Fast Forward and The Comedy Company jusy teared to shreds all thise soppy daytime tv shows. I remember skits on everything no daytime or nighttime show was spared or prime minister or political figure. It was worth not studying for the high school maths test the next day to watch these shows. Lucky i did I dont see the back catalog of these shows any more perhaps over the years the film strip to digital conversion has failed or accidental fires occur at archives like i heard the back catalog of hey hey its Saturday was destroyed in a fire. I guess only the memories remain in my mind an si feel blessed i lived the 80s and 90s the golden age of comedy tv.
@@clubgus07these shows aren’t on now because it’s easier to make reality tv shows. It’s got nothing to do with PC. There’s stuff on now that would never be allowed on tv back in the 80s. This shows aren’t relevant these days either. It’s only funny if you know skippy, or the culture and the politics of the time.
Nobody ever wondered why before the kangaroo was their pet the children never got lost in some cave or mine or abandoned house... Skippy's merit was to go home to eat and be noticed by the parents: look, the kangaroo is alone again, let's look for the kids... again...
There were no mines or houses in Waratah Park as it was a National Park and the 'kids' never had 'parents' as Matt Hammond was a widower with Sonny being his sole minor child. Skippy was never a 'pet' and the scriptwriters in fact went to great lengths to repeatedly reiterate this, she came and went as she pleased and as for her 'eating', a Kangaroo's primary diet is native grass, so she didn't ever 'go home to eat'. Did you ever actually watch the original show? If so you appear to have an utterly appalling capacity for cognitive recall.
The only snowflakes I can see in the comment section are crying because they think this sort of humour doesn't exist anymore. 😂😂😂 Nice try. American Dad/Family Guy/Frankie Boyle/Jimmy Carr/South Park etc are all popular to this day so don't cry just yet snowflake! ❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄
It's Margaret Downey, and I don't think it's wrong to find this parody more entertaining than the original show. 😉 ^Cue threats of violence from some random schmuck in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 😛 ^

The laughter covers up one of the funniest jokes “gee it’s a good thing dad had those clothes hidden under his bed.”
Skippy in drag is the funniest thing I’ve seen so far this year.
Aussies take the piss out of everything including ourselves
We used to, anyway
Still do and with me name I can say it.🦘🇦🇺🏁🦘
@@kurtisbatchler awwww, feeling down because you feel that your rights are being abused? Don't you see the irony and hypocrisy in that? 😂😂😂

I live in South Florida USA, I found this show back in the 1990s. I became addicted to Skippy, but this spoof, is killing me, laughing so hard. 😂
Yes Aussies could take a joke and laugh at themselves..😂😅
They used to give the original Skippy the kangaroo black coffee to stop it blinking.
Cracked up even more now than then, no way could you put this on telly today
Which makes it even funnier
Same
Couldn’t agree more . Probably the hole neighbourhood heard me laughing after just watching it, as I did when fast forward was on tv
Very true 🤣
It’s on tv right now 🤡
@@eedobee they're such snowflakes, the irony! 😁😁😁

As a kid I got a kick from watching fast forward but now I see it I’m in absolute stitches
Quality TV
Far greater then the crap on TV these days lol
100% mate
Everything on tv is woke crap to dull the senses of the sheep
Aussie TV was always shit, this is embarrassing.

Brilliant!
ROFLMBO - I loved this show, bring it back pleaseeeeeee. Skippy lolz.

I Often see Michael Veitch in my area. It's hard to imagine him doing the sonny character from Skippy. They were all great on a great show.🦘🦘🦘🦚
Friggin hysterical
I wonder if the real "Sonny" has seen this?I think he would be quite upset about it.
Just as I remember Skippy
This was hilarious
love the lipstick
Skippy is cool
Fckg funny as..😅😂😅
This reminds me of that South Park episode
☯️📜🐥📢 Skippy Skippy where are you Skippy? 🦘
Yes. no cap
Awesome.. bummer they can't do this stuff anymore
Too easy to put people in a kitchen and film it.
I am rolling on the floor with laughter christ i missed this sort of spoofs its al political correctness now, i want this show back
You never seen American Dad/Family Guy/Frankie Boyle/Jimmy Carr/South Park etc? "All political correctness now" 🐂💩! Cry us a river... 😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂

Let me guess - you’re a white cis man. Boo hoo. Btw there’s nothing wrong with this skit.

This was filmed after the Kangaroo cull in Canberra.
