Full Version: Spicks & Specks And The Chaser's War On Everything

What, there's no thread for them already? Madness.

I managed to go a whole season without watching either of them. Towards the end of last year I was channel surfing and stumbled across Spicks and Specks, only to realise later that its quite a large show. I love it, its funny, its about music, its got some of my favourite musicians, hosted by the fantastic Adam Hills, and its a quiz which you can get involved in yourself biggrin.gif

And The Chaser's War On Everything, I'd heard about it before and when I realised it was on straight after Spicks and Specks I thought I'd give it a go. Oh so funny, oh so true. Sometimes I cringe a bit at what the boys do because its a bit mean, but its their job to be controversial. Any show that bags out stuff like 60 minutes, politicians and adverts is fine by me biggrin.gif

When the guys from the Chaser said they had been picked up by channel nine, were they joking? i couldn't work it out huh.gif

oh my goodness....of course they were.


In my opinion, Spicks and Specks is kinda weak and not very funny...but the Chaser is great. Although its not quite as funny as last season.

Well, it would kind of be hypocritical of them to switch to a commercial channel since they are always bagging them and their programs.

What's The Catherine Tate Show like? What area's does it deal with?

I barely ever catch these shows, but they are both great.

CNNNN was better then Chaser's, I'd say.. Only around half of Chaser's skits are really good.

Spicks and Specks varies, depending on the contestants.

'What's The Catherine Tate Show like? What area's does it deal with?'

Crap.

-- holy crap that's a funny show laugh.gif
-- it's kinda like little britain or we can be heroes (have you seen that?)
-- yeah catherine tate is a british comedian who plays all these different characters
-- who do skits and shit
-- it's pretty friggin funny
-- it kinda does what little britian does and covers a fair few stereotypes
-- but most of the characters are just really random haha wacko.gif

CNNNN was a lot better than the chaser...it had a better lay out the whole news room thing with fake adds and everything...mind you the chaser decides wasn't as good as the current season.....

i love spicks and speaks....my faverite guest they've had is tim minchin....i love him, he is hilarious and his make up and hair make up is cool.......was it my imagination or did they once have ringo star? i remember seeing an add for it but not watching it.....doesn't sound like me so mabey i made it up.

Hamish Blake and Frank Woodley have grown on me since watching spicks and speaks......actually they've improved alot in that time, i mean now they are really witty they used to do a lot more lame jokes.

I love these shows! Spicks and Specks, Chasers War on Everything and JTV are the only things I watch at the moment. I can't beleive I only just discovered Chasers, its the funniest thing ever. A bit wrong, but thats what makes is so funny. I love it how they spend the whole show bagging everything they can.
