The Front Fell Off



In light of the recent oil spill in San Francisco bay, here’s a very funny 1991 episode The Front Fell Off by John Clarke and Fred Dagg Brian Dawe, which made fun of a similar incident in Australia. In the clip, Clarke played the role of a Senator being interviewed regarding the oil tanker Kirki incident (yes, about the tanker’s front falling off). Classic!

    Fred Dagg IS John Clarke - it’s the name of one of his characters. The other guy is Brian Dawe - they regularly do mock interviews together as the 7.56 report (it’s on once a week on the 7.30 report on the ABC (the Australian version)).

    Thanks Illusionary! I’ve only seen John Clarke once before this clip and am not very familiar with him (he’s very funny, though!)

    There is something about fast talking british/australian humor that just cracks me up!

    Too many funny lines for me to quote one!
