The Chaser's War On Everything
If you're Australian, chances are you know this show.
And chances are, like me, you think it absolutely pwns.
Now,The Chaser's War on Everything is exactly that. A war on everything. Basically, the show attacks issues affecting politics, media as well as the general public. It's also a form of social commentary.
The 'team' is made up of 5 brilliant men:
- Andrew Hansen
- Chas Licciardello
- Julian Morrow
- Craig Reucassel
- Chris Taylor
The TV show has three seasons - all of which are incredibly funny. However, they are often known to cause controversy through their daring stunts to poke fun at society.
There are several segments to the show. One is 'What have we learnt from Current Affairs this Week?', a segment dedicated to seemingly stupid and pointless stories held on trashy affair shows.
There is also 'Firth in the USA', where Charles Firth, who is now resident in the US, mocks unusual issues or questions the general public about current topics in the news.
In a way, it is hard to explain what the Chaser actually is. All in all, it is an excellent show, and I would encourage all of you to watch it via Youtube, TV or the DVDs. You can download podcasts of the show from here.
Now, to leave you with a few personal favourites of mine from various episodes.
The Doctor Who song.
The Chaser's Andrew Hansen makes his joke song about a Doctor Who nerd's troubles in life. Scarily true... for some people.
The Ad Road Test: Riva Coffee
This is a segment of the show where the team tests an ad to see if it would actually work in real life. Here, they copy the ad for Riva coffee in a supermarket - complete with the proper choreography.
The Trojan Horse
Now, surely we've all heard of the Trojan Horse. Here the team test to see if they were to tow a model Trojan Horse, how easy it would be to get into some important buildings.
Hope you enjoyed that all. :]

'Fan of Dr Who', by Andrew Hanson.
---------------------
Yo! Dr Who is back!
See if oyu can recognise this music
Woooooo woooooo wooouuooooo
Im a fan of Dr Who
I can hardly step outside
It’s all that I can do to hide
The fact that im a fan
Of Dr Who
I even earned a special mention
When I dressed up at the fan convention
As a cyber man
From season 22
Woooooo woooooo wooouuooooo
Im a fan of Dr Who
My friends say that im retarded
Just cause I built a model tardis
And pretend im chasing Daleks
Through space time
*EXTEERMINATE EXTERMINATE*
I don’t know why people laugh
When I show them the autograph
That I got from the actor who did
The voice of K9
It’s hard to get a screw
When you’re a fan of Dr Who
His female companions I love them all
They’re stuck all over my bedroom wall
My favourite ones are Ace
And Sarah Jane
And when I go to shop at the ABC
I don’t just stop at the DVD’s
I also buy books
From the Dr Who novel range
All the girls say ‘eww’
He’s a fan of Dr Who
Im always sure to ask the question
Out of all the doctors, who’s the best one
When I meet up with a fellow fan,
Was is :William Hartnell, Peter Cushing, Patrick Troughton, John Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davidson, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant,
Richard E Grant who only played the role in the 40th anniversary BBC interactive web cast adventure or Paul McGann!
“Well I couldn’t fit it in the song, but my favourite script editor is Robert Holmes”
You don’t score much shmoo
When you’re a fan of Dr Who
Woooooo woooooo wooouuooooo
Im a fan of Dr Who

I love the Chasers so much.
That Riva coffee ad was brilliant. For weeks it was all that was requested on their Guest Book. ..I myself don't send in ad requests on their guestbook..I just leave comments on Andrews weirdo hair do's.
It was hilarious, 'cause he had normal hair one week, then the next he had super weird hair. So I commented, but they didn't post it up. Then the next week it was even weirder. So I commented again, and they posted it up that time. Then after a few weeks of me commenting and his hair becoming weirder and weirder it just stopped. I didn't comment one week and the next week his hair went back to normal!
..So, before they come back onto air, I'mma leave him a comment telling him to make his hair all weird and goodly again. :]

XD what makes the Doctor Who song really funny, is the fact that Andrew is a Doctor Who nerd too
