Just before we went down to the Espy, The Chevron, or Chasers we wouldn't leave home until we watched Hey Hey it's Saturday. It was part of the Melbourne culture.
If this isn’t the most 80s thing I have ever seen. Love it. Good times. If only we could have a fraction of what this show brought to Australia back again.
@@markwegner6821 Me, too. I lived in Perth till I was 13. This show and "Home and Away" were my favourites. You can't get those shows in America. I don't even know if they're still on. Have a nice cup of Milo for me.
I grew up with Hey Hey and when 3 I relocated from Sydney to Canberra where there weren't as many TV stations I missed HHIS so much I'd drive to Batemans Bay-whère they had more channels-check into the cheapest decent motel available just to get my fix of HHIS!!Jeez,how fked up is that?.😂Thanks guys ❤
@@mataph7805 yeah but it was a low bar to begin with, Francis was guaranteed to win after that lot, they audition these people obviously before they go on for real and they probably deliberately put Francis on at the end cos they knew he was the best of a shit bunch, the two man act was terrible, Daryl gave them a chance to get to the point and they just kept dragging on.
@@JohnBloggs-m8l- ROFL. The *whole* idea of that segment is to find the _worst_ acts who want to embarrass themselves on AU national television. . Note that name of the segment is *"Red Faces"* ? It is the complete opposite of a "talent show". The producers find the worst they can, then they perform and the judges score them.
@@johncoops6897 yeah no shit, and Francis was the best of a shit bunch so they held him til the end, it's still tv dickhead it's got to have some entertainment value. I knew someone who auditioned dipshit I know exactly how it works.
Magda Szubanski was also on Red faces with a group from one of the unis, I think. There are a few household names now that got their start on there. I didn't know about Francis Greeslade unti today.
It was super fashionable in 1987 - the big hair days! Forty years from now people will be laughing that everyone was walking around looking like Ned Kelly in the 2020's :)
Let's be honest it was a low bar after the first three acts dragged on so badly so he was guaranteed to win, no Shaun in the audience clapping him though, wonder where he was. This has to be the earliest red faces I've ever seen, red wasn't even in the shirt and tie he became known for in the 90s when this segment hit its peak popularity.
Oh but they do still make Aussie tv as long as it's all vacuous brain-dead reality shows, talent quests (which aren't ironic like this one) or game shows.
@@JohnBloggs-m8l Ironic or iconic ? But yes everything is designed to be cheap and nasty that's the whole idea so we will give up on TV on all traditional entertainment and look to Google for every possible thing so in the future we will be totally 100% reliant on Americans for everything
@@James-kv6kb well the idea is to make money from streaming, when people pay for a streaming service there's an instant kickback to the company, when a tv station on old fashioned free to air broadcasting makes a program they rely on ratings from viewers to get money which is alot harder than just making a load of content or buying it for streaming and then making people pay upfront rather than waiting on ratings figures to decide the fate. And yes I meant ironic cos red faces is taking the piss out of talent shows as was the American show it was based on the Gong Show.
I wat hed this live when it came out, if i remember correctly they got a perfect score of 30 from all three judges. It was also the first time Red gave a score of 10
Fix your damn video settings! Every single video on your channel doesn't allow playing on my TV. I dont want to sit around watching in a crappy phone screen. No one else uses that stupid setting where the video owner restricts this.
@@heyheytvThanks for the reply. Was a bit frustrated as I'd tried so many times and lack of sleep. I guess different people have different set ups. When I try to cast to watch on the TV it just says "Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner". Have never had that from any other channel on TH-cam.
@@johncoops6897 Why are you making a confession on a topic unrelated to you? I'm a computer systems engineer, you're out of your depth buddy. This channel has an unnecessary setting on their videos restricting playback, and they haven't tested it on enough devices to verify it.
@@westernfrontproductions - well good for you... Good luck with getting the Channel Owner to change a setting that protects their You Tube content against being embedded into other websites. . If you are such a good "Computer Systems Engineer", then you would know that the first step in solving a problem is to diagnose the problem. Considering that this problem only affects ONE User, we can determine the most likely place that the problem is occurring. . Hence, as even somebody who isn't a "Computer Systems Engineer" could work out... why don't you simply change YOUR system settings, so that you can cast from one device to another without involving a third intermediate website or service? 😉😉
I love reality TV particularly the fun I get guessing the pre nomination winner Its all fake the world has gone W OK E and we are worse off FOR TH-cam NO HATE MAIL JUST AN OPINION
Everything I don't like is woke. Waah! Nobody is forcing you to watch shit tv, why don't you try reading a book or exercising your brain in some noble endeavour instead of complaining about something you can't even define?

Out west in rural QLD here, for those that could get channel 9 in the late 80's into the 90's we would watch Hey Hey before going down to the pub.
How Francis handled the heckler was great!
If this isn’t the most 80s thing I have ever seen. Love it. Good times. If only we could have a fraction of what this show brought to Australia back again.
You'll never see it again in Wah!! Woke World!!!!
Racism, the celebration of mediocrity and a dirty old man giggling in the background. You're welcome to it.
Francis Greenslade's act was literally my favourite act on Red Faces ever. So memorable!
One of the best ever!
Francis - A precursor to the wonderful Mad As Hell. Love him😂😂
I also loved that mad poet guy who ended up introducing on RocKwiz.
Classic 😂
Thank goodness for old replays 👏
I grew up with this show. Now I'm a lot older and you put this on, I'm growing up again. Brilliant 💎
Do you remember when they played cartoons?

Peter O’Brien sporting a fantastic mullet👍😸
I went to scouts with Francis Greenslade in the 1970s!!!
was he funny back then
Wish life was still like this. Great memories
... I agree...
Wow! I remembered the "worms, worms, worms" guy from back in the day, but didn't realise he was Francis Greenslade (later of McCallef show fame)!
I grew up with Hey Hey and when 3

I moved to Canberra too and suffered terribly at the loss of HHIS. It came good in 1989 though when WIN began transmitting into Canberra.
Who else remembers when this was actually a kids show on Saturday mornings.?
Meee !!! 🥰
It wasn't quite so bad then, because much of the show was filled with music videos.
And in the very early days they played cartoons.
Not at this time! I think this was Saturday night. I won a prize on the Sat morning one!
Far out I miss these days of proper TV.
Francis Greenslade, now a respected actor and mates with Shaun Micallef.
He nailed it. 10 levels above the rest. Still funny today
Ah, *that's* where I've seen him. Thanks. (I must've also watched this episode: I remember the worms song.)

Peter O'Brien, that's a magnificent head of hair my friend
The last act was worth waiting for.
The shoulder pads, this is definitely peak eighties fashion 😂.
awesome, glad too see births of talent via HHIS
Magda Szubanski was also on Red faces with a group from one of the unis, I think. There are a few household names now that got their start on there. I didn't know about Francis Greeslade unti today.
One of Australia's best comedians.
I would love a "where are they now" special!
I liked it when Francis played "Piano Man" on the guitar.
Thanks for your uploads!
Francis Greenslade I liked your confidence, dress sense and guitar skills.
'87 pinnacle of the mullet..? but what a master, even at that age..!
Look how far Francis Greenslade went 😂
Mad as Hell 😮
Happy times when single parent,with my kids, bought mattresses out to lounge room,we had good time 😂❤❤
Completely chaotic but hilariously funny.
Bloody Brilliant!
The judges' hair. 🤣
It was super fashionable in 1987 - the big hair days! Forty years from now people will be laughing that everyone was walking around looking like Ned Kelly in the 2020's :)
You're obviously not Australian, Red Symons always had long curly hair, he shortened it a bit in the 90s but it was always curly.
That guy ought to be on TV!
He was.
First Act..
Q; Where's your brother?
A: Wilcanya..(scratches his crotch)
Such magic television moments!😅
The first act got 5+7+2 = 13 🤣🤣🤣
He is such a great actor.
Those mullets will never go out of fashion
Epic classic mullets here.
Sooo damn good :)
Wonder if he tried convince Shaun Micallef to join him on one of these gigs.
He aint foolin no one. That's Tim Finn.
Mullet heaven 😅

Hollywood and Disney are recycling so many stories. It's time to recycle Hey Hey It's Saturday.
Such a great time in Australian history.
Already been done and it failed.
The audience is too politically correct and people get offended very, very easily.
Red .... the hair .... GONG!!
Life was so good back then, now it is depressing 😢
Rated M. For high Mullet content.
LOL
80’s version of Australia’s got talent
What a mullet!
Where is Darrel today ? ❤
Someone can't add.
The opening act got 14, not 13.
7:28 STOP THAT!
Any relation to Tosh Greenslade?
This feels like an early one?
Shame where not allowed to make Australian television anymore so everyone's on Google lol also did we notice the older gong plate ?
They had a different gong because they were in Adelaide that night.
@@quizmaster85 That certainly makes sense. Auditioned in that studio to go on Red Faces

8:11 Note 5 + 7 + 2 doesn't actually equal 13
I forgot how set up this section was.
5 + 7 + 2 = 14 Goose
Sorry Big Backyard Quiz - this is better. A lot better.
I wat hed this live when it came out, if i remember correctly they got a perfect score of 30 from all three judges.
It was also the first time Red gave a score of 10
Is Jane Clifton a gridiron player?
It's in d plays a c chord 😅
But it was a joke also....
As in a "D" composition (decomposition) per se rotting and worm ridden.
Bob. Australia.
From the land of the mullet.
That “good bad” skit was excruciating and the the bib and braces bloke had a massive attitude for someone so inept….
A bit Aaron Chen there!
roping calves.. you have to start at the bottom.
Original yobbo show -
Mullet days.
Agros cartoon cnction, comedy company, Steve vizard, uncle Doug Mulray etc.
A far better time in Australian media.
I wasted soo much time watching this rubbish, but i luved ut then

22 minuets I will never see again...
22 minuets, but "I could have danced all night..."
I don't care if I never see or hear Daryl Somers ever again
Hey Hey died many years before it ended. It lost laughs by Daryl being a weiner. The rest held him up for the last few years.
Well done Red, fucking champion.😂😂😂

It was shit at the time, but it's so so much shittier in retrospect. John Blackman is that creepy old uncle you try to avoid at family barbecues.
No-one's biting, dude.
