I don't know how many times I've watched it and it still gets me, everytime.
Known about in the most unlikely places. Sent a link to the Fred Dagg "Never teach a Sheila to drive a tractor" sketch to the farmer up the lane as he was doing exactly that with his girlfriend/now wife.
He immediately came back with "Is that the bloke who did "The Front Fell Off"?

Certainly is. I was sent a link to it by a Brit mate from Hong Kong. He's never been to Aus or NZ but knew John Clarke's work. "The front fell off" must have been quite big in Britain?

It's such a stupid joke. Just executed perfectly.

Don't think so - more a viral thing I guess. I've sent links of his stuff to friends and they've become immediate fans. One teaches English Lit at a red-brick uni and thinks his poetry inspired.

And brilliantly written. Grew up on Fred Dagg and the his world of Bruce Baylis, The Trevs and Barry Fortenbrae...

@victor-meldrew You just couldn't say that shit these days. He's got it all in there, racist, sexist, drink driving, and so much more. It should come with steak knives. Love it.

@siam Had to do a quick google for that one because I don't remember it. Need a refresher, not in "gumboots" that I recall.
I did find this though, so Stuff aren't completely useless:

Didn't expect to see Tim Dillon profiled in the Spectator.

Not to mention the original lyrics for "We Don't Know How Lucky We Are.....
Me father-in-law's been feeling pretty pleased with himself: He's been living in Greece for the good of his health. I said, "How was the climate? And how was your year?" He says, "The climate's too hot, you can't get a beer, The sheilas look like blokes, and of course the blokes are all queer, The Turks and the Arabs, well, they live far too near, and if you want a really good time, you might as well live here."
