Yes because governments are always useless. Alp lnp greens dnc gop tories, labour they are all useless. The only good thing about Abbott is if he got his way the government woukd be so small we wouldnt have needed him, Turnbull or ScoMo or any of the losers the ALP puts forward.
Yes. When they said they make plenty of announcements but don't do anything I thought...has John Clarke posthumously recorded this about the Smug Scotty Government?! Then they mentioned Abbott and I remembered that his Government didn't do anything either. 8 years of inaction on anything meaningful and billions of tax-payer funds handed to wealthy donors - while real wages still go backwards, cost of living and power still climbs, house prices are out of reach and the climate is on it's last legs. What a great future awaits, hooray!

"The government was elected, was it Bryan, by the people?" "Well, the previous government was voted out, put it that way." "I see. Kerensky." Gold for those of us lucky enough to get this one!
Brilliant John 😘👍 Long time no see 😉 Wellington nz ,12.30 am , you sitting in a arm chair , Drinking a 750mil bottle of beer , Outside your flat , 1978 , Thanks for the conversation , And beer 😂😂😂🙏
Now the US figured this out a long time ago. Our Congress doesn't meet but 5 times a session. The rest of the time spend on news channels promoting "their brand" … whatever the hell that means.
Does anyone know what they're referencing at 1:10 "Well the previous government was voted out, put it that way" "I see, Kerensky". Is that a reference to Alexander Kerensky's government being overthrown in the October Revolution? Something else maybe? I've got no idea.
Yes , that was my thoughts also. I think it is also a ref to the belief that the voters voted against Labor ,rather than voting for the LNP at the last election
Yep. Labor was so hated that Abbott didn't seem that bad. Then again, I think hating the other guy is a much more common scenario than being genuinely enthusiastic about the one for whom you're voting.
The question, presented with razor wit, must already loom large in the popular mind for the humour to work (and these guys work it really well). Jokes aside - why do we need governments?
Which won't go against the old government that left my father homeless, my family homeless. Simply because they're too worried about blacks in Australia, and us polluting the world. Despite being the least racist country in the world, and the least pollutant. Good for you Australia. Let's destroy ourselves.
It is time for a free society. One based on consent, voluntary interaction and contract rather than mandatory decree , compulsion and force (ie. Government)
One year late replying Ian, but I think it might have been a vague reference to the fact that 99% of the world's population thinks that Australia's capital city is Sydney. ;)
"Canberra. With a C." Because nobody outside Australia has heard of Canberra and wouldn't know how to spell it. Australia may be the only country whose national capital has no international flights run by the country's own national airlines.
For people who didn’t understand or lack context aka American for many years now Australia politicly has gone through a weird phenomenon where at least since John Howard the late 90s not a single PM has lasted in office for their full mandate either through public scandal or internal party politics the median political life of a Aussie prime minister is 2 years if lucky
tony abbot was the best prime minister i can remember. that is horrifying. also the whole climate change thing is basically political posturing anyway and the only people who actually actively do anything hurt the economy in the process while letting the biggest contributors go along without challenge. did you know that just about every single country other than the us to join the climate paris agreement pledged to do less for the environment than they were currently doing or planning on doing? and despite the cost of the agreement, meetings and so on it was basically an enviromental "i promise well do it later or whatever or not there really isnt any accountability" pretty sure Australians make the cleanest coal too. not to mention what people could do with nuclear.

This sketch has a certain timelessness that transcends party politics :)
And countries lol 😂
So good in so many ways.
What made me Laugh Out Loud:
"Do you have an opposition?"
"No."
....
'He was elected? Good heavens'.
Lost myself at that! Classic!
I’m wiping a tear from my eye now from laughing at that 😂
Nearly four years now since John Clarke's death. Sorely missed. 😢
Who's "John Clarke"??
Indeed!!!
Just change the name to ScoMo and it’s still much the same...could you imagine their weekly segments through 2020 and now 21?! RIP mate
*Scotty from Marketing.
yeah, it would still be the same smart-arsed crap

Kerensky was a clever little name drop...
If only John Clarke were still here to see the Scott Morrison government.

What's amazing is that's so many of these sketches could apply to pretty much any western government.
particularly in the weekends!

@@JJVernig Excuse me. Belgium _still_ exists? Did Belgium _ever_ exist? Why?
Oh how I wish we had Clarke & Dawe now. ❤️

Absolutely superb.
Cuttin to the core and keeping it clean...must've been difficult...
They never do disappoint, old Clarke and Dawe...
Pure gold!. John Clarke is sorely missed. 🥇👍🏻
Scarily relevant and applicable to 2021. Instead of 1950's Abbott, we have the King of ALL the Announcements, Scotty from Marketing.
I think it’s relevant to pretty much any government ever
It was topical at the time, but I can't quite remember why.
And we have the announcing of announcing announcements in NZ

This is too accurate, don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Tears will be the only thing we will have left, if we are Lucky.
Five years later and nothings changed
Depends on whether you live in Australia or not.
Things do run well on the weekend don't they! Inspired and revolutionary!!
"How does it work on the weekends?" lol
Yous crack me up every time even though there's just one of yous now RIP
It's the kind of comedy I like. Thanks from the UK
The "so he's just a placeholder" remark was so on point. I miss this man' insight and wit.
"The government was elected, was it Bryan, by the people?"
"Well, the previous government was voted out, put it that way."
"I see. Kerensky."
Gold for those of us lucky enough to get this one!
Also gold for anyone capable of using google
Only just come across these two....v v classy stuff.
Brilliant John 😘👍
Long time no see 😉

Thanks for the conversation ,
And beer 😂😂😂🙏
This hits different in 2021.
We need you guys now
I wonder what Clarke and Dawe would make of 'The Voice"! They were brilliant!
scarily accurate as usual. keep em coming lads
Nails my place of work.. management is always busy doing nothing.
Well the previous government was voted out, let's put it that way !!
Now the US figured this out a long time ago. Our Congress doesn't meet but 5 times a session. The rest of the time spend on news channels promoting "their brand" … whatever the hell that means.
You get it
..."Can I order some flowers please?" "what have you got"? "a wreath, yeah that'll do" lmao!!!
Turns out none of us need the media or our governments...... Something to think about....
Pitched so perfectly. Great men
Man i miss these
6 years later, and it has only become WORSE.
This could easily be about the current Brazilian government. It fits impressively well.
The fact that ScoMo was the treasurer when this was made is quite funny
It’s 2021 and nothing has changed
Brilliant as always.

Imagine the field day John Clarke would have with Scott Morrison if he was still alive.
No field would be big enough, me thinks !!
Scott Morrison is dead? Now that explains much!
Thanks, algorithm.
Good evening, Brian.
Anyone watching this during the 2018 Turnbull #LibSpill?
Yes and it's still super depressing.
No. I'm watching it now in 2021 and it's still super relevant
Brilliant.
Saw it today, absolutely relevant.
Weekends are good when government is not working..
The question, presented with razor wit, must already loom large in the popular mind for the humour to work (and these guys work it really well).
Jokes aside - why do we need governments?
Humans are communal creatures, we always seem to for groups which end up having leaders. Governments are the current manifestation of that.
He was elected was he? Good heavens lol
Wish the "government would just fall off of the environment"... Go where NOTHING IS OUT THERE.
The front of the Government fell off.
Timeless
Clarke, you are sadly missed RIP
“I see. Kerensky”
Almost a throw-away comment, but so much in it
Hilarious! Back on form guys!
Really miss this grate man. A huge loss to our country. We could shore use him ATM
Brilliant stuff
Hahaha!
"So the government was elected Brian?"
"Well the previous government was unelected."
"Ah yes, a Kerensky."
Classic
RIP john clarke
I love the off the Karensky comment :)
16 'Brian's in two and a half minutes. Wonderful. :)
Best laugh all week.
Why are these still so relevant despite being 6 years old?
The less a government does the better. As he says, the country works fine on weekends.
It is a sad statement on government in general that this is so true.
How could John Clarke so accurately predict Scotty from Marketing.
what is the music at the begining of the video?
Thanks recommended
This applies to the UK “situation” right now 😔
MISS YA FRED !
Reminds me of Scotmo Marketing, Sales & Do Nothing in 202!
The question is do we need the government we have now.
Which won't go against the old government that left my father homeless, my family homeless. Simply because they're too worried about blacks in Australia, and us polluting the world. Despite being the least racist country in the world, and the least pollutant. Good for you Australia. Let's destroy ourselves.
I have to keep reminding myself that Australia (and the UK) don't include their legislature (Parliament) when they use the term "government".
Comedy champions.

Yeah, its like Afghanistan, they are all "enjoying " a "Government Free" experience now.
Quite popular I believe .

Seems like the Australian government saw this sketch and took heed.
Canberra
With a C
LOL
It needs a heart and soul first..
Well, currenty corporations are running the country, so the government seems superfluous
Lmao good heavens
I don't get the Canberra with a c bit at the end, can anyone help?
The florist asked "Canberra with a K?" Because Canberra is an out of the way little town and they'd never heard of it - or at least that' s my take
2021 would b far better without a govt
Truly liberatingly funny view on politicians.
But what he perhaps should have said is We Only Need a Federal Goverment.
