Clarke was a comic genius, I don’t know anything about Mr Dawes but I presume he is also a real comic talent. The two of them together commentary on the Australian political arena was brilliance. The insight and clever and endlessly subtle needles at the stupidity of the politics was just wonderful. Never has anyone spoken so much truth veiled in humour about political bureaucratic BS in human history. If these guys had run the country greed and stupidity would not have for so long.
I've recently discovered these guys since the infamous "front fell off" episode, and what you've just said echoes my exact thoughts. I'm Irish btw, also learning that your governments are equally as inept as our own through comedy. Brilliant.
Lincoln also said of General Pope, when Pope rather pompously proclaimed that his headquarters was in the saddle, "The problem with General Pope is that his Headqaurters are where his hind quarters are supposed to be"
I knew it was coming, I've watched it 50 times over a decade, but I still have to pause for 20 seconds to laugh over the "General Knowledge" twist. Amazing.
They forgot about....General Motors, General Niusence, General Patton, General Strike, General Hospital, General Apathy, General Burchalter, General Condition, General Erection (in Japan), General Regulations, General Patients, General Willingness, General with 2 Colonels........!
Australian economy is NOT doing well. The fact that the RBA decided to cut IR by 50 bps says it all really. Btw, headline unemployment rate doesn't really mean much. you can save your breath, if you plan to bring that up as an argument.

Bill Shorten is obviously a fan of you two, as yesterday he told Sky News [in relation to Peter Slipper] that he has not heard Julia Gillard's comments on the matter, but whatever it is, he agrees with it, and "I'm sure she's right". Straight out of Clarke & Dawe.
I honestly didn't the joke till about 40 seconds before it finished. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Took me two minutes haha
I had to read your comment before it sunk in 😅
Took me until he said General Motors. Then I chuckled.
I felt stupid when it took me about a minute before I got it.
It was the general anesthetic that did it for me.
i dont think i got it at all
His knowledge of generals was exceptional😂😂

Looks like Willy Nilly can finally claim his prize.
His prize was well ahead of it's time
Timing, timing, timing... Genius.
"Find out what hes drinking and get a case of it for my other generals...." omg thats priceless.
I also like the "If you're not using the army this weekend, can I borrow it?"
Both of those are (slightly paraphrased) real quotes.
Liked your comment, but had to unlike it cause 69
Lincoln also said of General Pope, when Pope rather pompously proclaimed that his headquarters was in the saddle, "The problem with General Pope is that his Headqaurters are where his hind quarters are supposed to be"
The US Civil War has so many banger quotes
here it is 9/3/2021 about a week from the complete withdraw of Afghanistan. Took some time to use that prize.
Wasn't quite a smooth pullout, either.
I knew it was coming, I've watched it 50 times over a decade, but I still have to pause for 20 seconds to laugh over the "General Knowledge" twist. Amazing.
"Who was the most decorated Russian general of World War 2?"
"General... Zhukov?"
"Correct."
"Oh good."
God the writing is so on point haha
General knowledge, took me a second to sink in 🤣👍 absolutely brilliant
2 and a half minutes to set up a few jokes right at the end... fucking love it!
In general this was a good performance. I'm speaking generally, of course.
Speaking in general terms generally makes for an understandable comment
General Anaesthetic! Hahaha.
Brilliant. Proper genius tier
willy nilly ;)
They forgot about....General Motors, General Niusence, General Patton, General Strike, General Hospital, General Apathy, General Burchalter, General Condition, General Erection (in Japan), General Regulations, General Patients, General Willingness, General with 2 Colonels........!
Oooh. That last punchline.
It says dont hold your breath 😂😂
Omg best Clarke and Dawe evar!! :D
That was a surprise! Generally speaking.
Legendary writing.
and i thought i had good general knowladge
don't hold your breath, huh?
Ah general, I get it!!!!!
GOLD!!!
YOu can breath now
that third last line is apt
It was nice.
Golly. It took me so long to catch on to what was happening in this bit. I may be high enough.
1:32 - not quite; Lee was only commander of the Army of Northern Virginia. The CSA had no overall army commander ;)
I got the knock out blow laughing about general anesthetic
🤣 General knowledge
General anesthetic oh BOI
I’m still laughing at “Willy Nilly.”
Complete withdrawal from Afghanistan? Well, 2021.
just wait till you hear about whats happening now
I was 1:40 in and realised his name basically is Willy Nilly🤣
Ok it took me far too long to work out what's going on here.
and you'll still still have a 50-50 split!
General Anaesthetic😂
The only thing missing was 'General Ignorance'....lol...😜
General. *Salute*
Ingenius
"General" Knowledge LMAO!
Watching the House of Reps. is a Major Pain.
It took me 1 minute 40 seconds before I got the joke.
Hear Hear!!
general anaesthetic :) :) :)

Make Monash a Field Marshal!!!...
It took me way too long to catch on to the joke...
Hear Hear!
i'm fairly sure he's talking about OZ, not the USA (unless you mean OZ as well)
It took me two minutes and 18 seconds to get the pun. 😶
But you would also need some generally intelligent people for it to be effective.
But morals are subjective, you can't have general morals.
The General Retreat from Afghanistan was not a Major Success
Generally funny;)
Ah... full withdrawal from Afghanistan. When we finally did it, it was in the worst possible way imaginable.
Took me 2 minutes to get the joke. I feel...slow.
Took me 2 minutes to get it
The General Electric triggered me
Bugger! ♀❤♀
Correc'
lol
I do like the irony of your profile pic and your handle.

If you are measuring by GDP the US is still No1 if you are going by growth, China is No1
Too specific.
Yes, but it was generally specific.
Or specifically generals.
I'm not entirely sure which. Maybe it was both.
He could have slotted Von Ribbentrop there somewhere ... :-)
I don't think von Ribbentrop was a general. He was the foreign minister, and if he had any military rank, I would assume it would just be honorary.
