John Clarke……possibly New Zealand’s best comedian ever!!! Total respect!!!! But please don’t forget Billy T!!!! Two brilliant kiwis!!!! RIP two to great kiwi comedians!!! Regards Ian👨🎤🇳🇿👍😂😂😂
In my final year at primary school, my class had to do a skit. Our teacher suggested doing some Fred Dagg songs. (This was 1974, I think) So, the whole class dressed up with gumboots and black singlets and did the gumboot song and the "Three on a scooter" Christmas song. It was so much fun as a kid.
Fred was the half of it, the other NZ half representing the Maori was Billy Tea James … both Iconic in their own right. Billy was just comedy whereas John went on to be a Legend across the whole of Australasia …
He was brilliant but he went to Australia because in New Zealand he was stereotyped and he wanted to evolve in which he did in Australia and his comedy got a lot better
@@racketman2u maybe but as I say he was stereotyped and it was limiting you see the comedy you did when he went to Australia that was really sophisticated brilliance
I've been away from NZ for almost 30 years and last visited more than 10 years ago - so does the younger generation of an increasingly multicultural Kiwiland relate Fred Dag or his humour most appreciated by those of us who enjoyed it the first time round.
"Fuck pavlova and Crowded House, we lost John Clarke." Don't think of it as 'losing', call it 'charitable giving to appreciative, very caring, foster parents'.
John Clark was the Comedian that Roman Atkinson wasn’t. He opened his mouth and then make you laugh, looked a little rough, Atkinson didn’t have to speak. Both great on TV and England and New Zealand had a lot of laughs from their combined performance, in NZ anyway. There is sadly no mention of the Other top NZ comedian Billy Tea … just as funny in his own. Different way and I’d say just as talented . More film credits I believe too.
A brilliant man and comic! Miss him immensely - the best export from NZ to ever cross the ditch!
The Games was the funniest satire series I've ever seen. John was a genius of comedic entertainment.

We all could relate to him, so we all enjoyed him. What a simple, but effectual equation. Brilliant.
Great editing and production. Thank you
Wonderful!

Clarke the ultimate genius of comedy
as a kid, he was my reason o watch ccalander still love the theme
I love what John Clark gave me.
Legend & very much missed...
We should cast this great man in bronze! He really was a national treasure! 😂
You graciously gave us John Clarke ..... could we now just as graciously return Russell Crowe?
We'll keep the pav.
RIP Fred and Fane both great talents.
Well, the front didn't fall off....

Legend
A wonderful man
"The Games" 🙂
He was brilliant but he went to Australia because in New Zealand he was stereotyped and he wanted to evolve in which he did in Australia and his comedy got a lot better
to a small minority maybe, but he was a national icon in his kiwi Fred Dagg persona, and never reached those heights in Australia.

@@racketman2u John was revered in Australia. One of their favourite comedians.

Wow I wish comedy was this good these days, I’m only young, but I find stuff more funny than what they put out on TV 😂
Fred Dag+= Effing brilliant trev

Who is this Roman Atkinson that you speak. Never heard of him . Is he a NZer?
Fuck I miss him.
🖤🖤🖤
Much of what he did would never be permissible these days due to the new IDEOLOGY.
How funny are compilations generally?
