The loss of this dear man was such a blindside that no-one speaks about him here. Or is it just me? How can it be that it actually physically feels like a beloved family member died even now? I know that what I feel right now in February 2021 , after this clip inexplicably appeared atop my TH-cam feed and that I actually watched, is palpable grief. No one else articulated the madness/absurdity of this world like these two. Diffused it. Served it up cold. What a pairing. Never again. No more words.
They were the stark, unvarnished mirror of absurdist truth. Not surprised our elected dealers (leaders?) are mute. Occasional mentions from on-air journos aside, they're ours to remember.
@@beesplaining1882 not to just reply heaps later and take the fun out of clarke and dawe. I love these guys and I have been big fan of them since 2012. I was so sad when clarke passed away. But can you explain what you thought bill shorten was going to do when he got into government. Like what was the fear everyone had about him. I think i know what everyone was scared about but i want to know what you think and if you think the same thing now. Cheers
@@timothyhawken9266 my comment was frivolous and not too considered. I actually voted for Labor. Why? For their policies and because of the damage done by conservative governments over the years. Morrison has continued the run of damage and incompetence.
How come I get a better break down of the situation here in the UK by watching Australian Comedians taking the micheal out of their own government, than by watching the BBC?
It's a sad reflection on the state of modern media that satire like this, The Daily Show & The Onion as well as others often have better analysis of events than "real" news organisations
It's gold. Shame we'll get no more. These two were clever together but Mr Clarke's broader comedy is a testament to his individual wit and writing genius. Going to spend my morning going over some of the old and gold while I digest it. RIP Mr Clarke.
I think this was one of my all time favourites; I couldn't stop laughing when it was on the ABC TV had to watch it on youtube to make sure I got the words correct
Recently discovered these two. Pure comedy class. (Unusual for Aussie comedy). I lived there decades ago, most comedy then imported from UK. Shame there'll be no new material .
Brilliant! I believe some people have missed the joke, at least as I interpreted it. Sometimes the British have been slow to recognize and accept that the problems which exist in other countries also exist in GB. Even if they do they are quick to blame it on inferior outside influences which have deceived the good people of this scepter'd isle.
I wish we had a duo like this in America. We need some pure, strong political comedy to keep politicians on their toes. These two are so hilarious. Unfortunately sometimes I don’t get their references, being American.
instead you get things like hillary clintons campaign buying the onion and completely changing it.and those cringe latenight talk shows with "comedian hosts"
They would be shot dead instantly in the US. You guys put your politicians on the highest pedestal possible. It'll never happen in your neck of the woods
This show was a cherished part of Australian history that we could never hope to replicate, RIP JC
He was a great New Zealander!!
Well, it was until the front fell off, by all means.
What happened to Britain? The front fell off, and then it was towed beyond the environment.
May God save the Queen ahh umm, God May save the Queen- no that doesn't sound right (wing). May will save the Queen!
Or, in the words of the Sex Pistols. "The fascist regime that made you a moron."
haha superb comment
Mate you got me there. Brilliant comment.

Clark and Dawe is the only education I have about Australian politics.
th-cam.com/users/friendlyjordies
I learned everything I know about it from the Chaser
(but that was last decade)
Although it is satire it is enjoyed so much here in Australia because it's all true
Leo Staley. Best education you’ll get on Australian politics!
It's probably the only education you need. Right on the mark.

Wonderful pairing. Profoundly sad.
John Clarke was an absolute genius. A true one off and a credit to both NZ and Australia.
I’ve just found out about these two and it’s sad to hear he passed, such a shame.
They were the stark, unvarnished mirror of absurdist truth. Not surprised our elected dealers (leaders?) are mute.

This is a bit bleak. I think your projecting a little bit. It's a good comedy skit but there are many still doing similar things.
"The Scot(t) problem"
Amazing. AMAZING
Well well
We narrowly avoided a Bill problem and we now suffer from the Scott problem.
@@beesplaining1882 Funny

The Scott problem has really grown in the last 5 years and needs to be dealt with quickly for the sake of Australia.
What is the Scott problem?
Scot problem has been solved
@@vintagev6098 The Scott problem has been solved but Scott's problems are about to start surfacing if this ICAC thing kicks into gear.
@@vintagev6098 yeeehaw
If Australia ever becomes a republic then votes in a 3rd party I will literally cum in my pants
"The Scott Problem". What an excellent way to describe Morrison.
'Edward Longshanks has entered the chat'
And what a problem he's proven to be.
I'm sure there is another video out there addressing the Barnaby problem.
Not to be confused with the scots of Scotland problem
As bad as Morrison was, I think Australia is now in DEEP doggie do-dos with Albo. (June 2022)
@@Chris-hx3om What a load of nonsense.
RIP John. You will be sorely missed.
We’re crying out for a John Clarke now
Are

One Kiwi and one Aussie satirist. Either way, they are very very good, and spot on all the time.
Eric Wolff I stand corrected :) & yes, they are pretty dam awesome in my opinion :D
He doesn't have a strong Kiwi accent, so it's an understandable mistake.
p00ky76 watch Sunday politics
It's a sad reflection on the state of modern media that satire like this, The Daily Show & The Onion as well as others often have better analysis of events than "real" news organisations
If someone who had no clue who these guys were just stumbled upon this, they might actually believe they are true and current politicians.
They did speak the truth on current affairs.
There much too bright and actuly know whats happening, not like a politician
It's gold.
Shame we'll get no more. These two were clever together but Mr Clarke's broader comedy is a testament to his individual wit and writing genius.
Going to spend my morning going over some of the old and gold while I digest it.
RIP Mr Clarke.
vale John Clarke, an extraordinarily gifted comedian
These two were a couple of the CLEVEREST Political commentators you will EVER see Anywhere , Anytime .
The Scott (Morrison) problem, still hasn't gone away...
boob72 still relevant
Unfortunately it's still around
Ha and you guys thought it was bad back then...
Still here...
Scott has a Peter problem.
Big thanks to Clarke and Dawe for political satire that makes sense of the crazy world we all have to deal with and makes us laugh
Looks like the Scot(t) problem has since intensified.
If I had a penny for every time this has happened while talking to Australian friends about Chilean politics I'd be able to buy an ice-cream.
Dammit, now I want an ice cream.
This was three years ago. Thank god it couldn’t happen this year.
OMG 2021 and it still holds so true ....miss your comments John Clarke 😥 RIP mate
RIP.
thanks for the decades of entertaining memories
I miss Clarke and Dawe. Life is poorer without them.
I think this was one of my all time favourites; I couldn't stop laughing when it was on the ABC TV had to watch it on youtube to make sure I got the words correct
These two are comedy gold, such a tragic loss to the entertainment industry
Yep, it's a good thing it couldn't happen here.
John Clarke was a national treasure.
As always, Clarke and Dawe on point. Love these guys :P
Just remember at one point their Home Secretary was Rudd and Shadow Home Secretary was Abbott.
Very funny skit and sad to hear that J C passed at a relatively young age. Thanks for the laughs and insight into what's really going on John.
I LOVE these guys - they really do understand what happened in the UK. It's good to know that our Aussie cousins have been going through the same!
Still relevant in 2019.
This is one of their best. :D
John Clarke was a legend.....Gone too soon.
I will never forget these wonderful guys.
The rare moment when Clarke is the straight man.
yep. fucken nailed it again boys.
Comic genius ,the Way they bounced off each other is rarely matched
this one is so good, sooo good !!!
Love these two and still relevant regardless!
"He's taken an absolute toweling!"
Damn. I've just watched true genius. Absolute brilliance.
I wish they were around for this week in Canberra 2nd week on November 2020 .
Absolutely beautiful
Genius. Thank you. Crying with laughter
God I miss him.
Beautiful... ;)
4:36 am in nw England sat laughing at this
It doesn't always rain here, as it happened it did yesterday, but we had a dry day last week. The Scott problem brilliant.
love that Brian had a chance to be the funny guy!
At least we have beaches.
with 300 tons of burning oil and a ship where the front fell off.
At least they keep the riff raff away!
+DC240Z don't worry. It's been towed outside of the environment.
It's been so long since I first heard that one - and it's still as funny as hell. "The front fell off."
the UK has incredible beaches
very good -- you have to know the politics of 2 nations. excellent
It's still so good ❤
Recently discovered these two. Pure comedy class. (Unusual for Aussie comedy). I lived there decades ago, most comedy then imported from UK. Shame there'll be no new material .
phenomenal
You forget how brilliant Clarke and Dawe were.
This was really funny! In Britain, specifically.
Brilliant stuff. I'm gonna miss these guys.
Brilliant! I believe some people have missed the joke, at least as I interpreted it. Sometimes the British have been slow to recognize and accept that the problems which exist in other countries also exist in GB. Even if they do they are quick to blame it on inferior outside influences which have deceived the good people of this scepter'd isle.
Brilliant, as always. Their timing is perfect, too. What's Brian doing nowadays?
This was just brilliant.
“The Scott Problem.”
Yep.
The best comedy is laced with the truth
A message from the UK:
Fan.
Fucking.
Tastic.
Gold pure gold.
RIP John Clarke
"mistake" of leaning on democracy and letting the people decide. Nice one Clarke and Daw.
So the same issues in Aus, the UK, America and the whole western world? You'd almost think they are trying to orchestrate something...
It's almost as if reaganomics and career politicians from wealthy backgrounds are detremental. Hmm...
"THEY"! THE HORROR!
+Epic Synthesia I assume your asking the "who is 'they'?" question or did I miss interpret?
Still the same today in politics!!
When he said the "Scott problem", I thought he was going to comeback with the classic: "Scott me fucked what's going on ...".
Just had a federal election in Canada, with 3 years left in the governing party's term and yep they could have been discussing Canada too !
I hear this brilliant show doesn't exist anymore. But worry not, mates, you got juicemedia to grace the world with.
Why does this get better than my wine?
Absolutely fantastic!
Brilliant . Maybe one of their last sketches together . Shame it wasn't one of the subject matter that died . Those bastards live on for eons .
Brilliant!
It's like watching 'Dr. Strangelove' in color...:-). Love from 'Murica.
Love them

Yeah I didn't understand this video at all. I'm sure it would be hilarious if I lived in Australia. Or maybe Britain. I'm not sure which
@@KaloKross What they get is an ex-president who should be incarcerated.
LOL! OMFG! That was hysterical!!
😅 Oh that's good satire! Scott problem? Scott nothing to do with Britain!
Clarke corpsing at the Scott problem xD
This could well have been dated 22nd August, 2018!
🤣 Did Clark n Dawe know something?
Prophetic...I get that's the joke but this is prophetic. I didn't know British politics were so easy to read.
I'm sentimental about the sea, too!
Prescient! 'nuff said!
The closed captions are well off here, they put an entirley different spin on whats being said! They should be corrected or removed.
Just brilliant
I love these guys. 😂😂😂
brilliant!!
Brillant!
This is one of those things that I don't understand at all, but am going to trust that it's funny.
We dont have a scott problem anymore lol, all good these guys were on a higher plane till the front fell off. RIP John all the best mr Dawse
I can't remember if they're referring to rudd or abbott, plenty of backstabs & infighting across the board
this is so Brilliant .
Three years later... 🙃 fuck
The Scot problem. Miss you Fred.
Man what a duo
best one ever!
Sooooo goooooood
Fuck you guys are so good.
Who's on first?
That's right.
Yes.
You're right that would be the matter of a fact.
