i know.obviously the person who decided to do that doesn't have kids or young adults in his family.i remember stuff like this from late 96 to early 98 till they replaced them with kochie.
Its sad that kids today don't have these cartoon shows in the mornings, but instead, probably wake up and go on their phones and straight onto video games. I used to watch this as a kid and watched it for the cartoons but cant remember that part where Agro is smashing all the chips, thats so funny 😂
I love how this show is more funny to me now than when I was a kid. I basically watched it for the cartoons in the morning but yeah Agro is hilarious, he needs to be back on the air, fuck the Today show!
Mega, I will jump on board your comment 5 years later with this hindsight observation. I think we kinda got how great agro was at the time, but it didn't feel too exceptional given those times and the great amount of quality "shit giving" that was taking place in general across oz and the airwaves. So here I am all these years later wondering what went wrong, and how western society became a bunch of babies
She was my first love, Had a neighbour move in that looked just like her and her name was also Anne Marie, wasnt her but jesus growing up next to her was fun
This is a fantastic show. Pity they cancelled it, but I'm glad y'all got to watch it all the same. That way it's not continued into ruination like many things nowadays.
Agro was clever though , a lot of the innuendo was pure gold . There’s to many ideological thinkers that take the fun out of everything. Shit slinging in the workplace made the day go quicker .
If I could bring back any show my mum and nan have told me about their childhood... I would DEFINATELY bring back Agro. Although my teacher says it's innapropriate
Way back then, I got two Agro coffee cups from hungry jacks. I use them still as though they are the sometimes cups like the good china and they are still in perfect condition as good as you can get, much the same as Agro himself today. There is a great picture of Agro on each cup, one says (if I hAve this right) "You think 'Ive' got problems" and the other says um...." How would I know im only a puppet" I think. Must say I still have a laugh when we see those Agro cups. Was there more to this set from hungry jacks, does anyone else still have a set or a collection, what other captions were there?
@@Sheriff_GrimLaw Ummm… Agro the puppet, the one that is featured here in this clip. It was an Australian puppet that was in the 90’s. He had his own tv show Agro’s cartoon connection. Clearly you have no idea
@@doneyarts47 are you that pathetic? You never have heard of a spelling mistake? Or maybe you have a big giant computer and type 1 letter per minute. FYI I’m an 80’s Sydney Bub. Watched this everyday growing up. Let’s think of more Aussie ones, Ship to Shore, Butterfly Island, Genie from Down Under, Escape from Jupiter, Humprey B Bear, Lift Off, Round the Twist, Playschool with John and Benita. Should I go on? Grow up.
They had some good cartoons on back then. Scooby Doo was on GO! until recently, but the others haven't been on free-to-air for years. Time to remedy that, I think.
I'm from the Uk and sadly we didn't get this over here when I was a kid. However, i've been watching them (even though im 35..) and they seem hilarious even for adults. I was just wondering was the voice actor (Jamie Dunn?) and Ann-Maree friends? I've seen on a few websites that they didn't get along very well and used to use the show to take digs at one another. While others say they were great friends and thats why they felt they could have a joke with one another. Any one know the truth?
Apparently the puppeteer that voices agro said Anne Marie was his favourite host to work with.... I do not know Anne maries opinion, but the fact that she hasn't #metoo him speaks a thousand words.
One of the compilations has argo saying he needed to babysit as Anne-Marie went clubbing. So would imagine they are quite friendly to be babysitting for one another.
Yeah I know ay? When I was a kid I didn't get all of Agro's little jokes just paid attention to the cartoons like Scooby Doo, Ninja Turtles and The Smurfs.
That was only 20 years ago, next your'll be uploading epsoides of Shortland Street. Don't forget we had Keep Cool till after school with Ollie Olson, that was better than anything Australians had :)
He was on for years after this, Ann-Maree was the first host and there was a few after her. Cheese TV took the ratings for children's morning shows so 7 axed it and started Sunrise instead.
@@NicteNope stupid sunrise.obviously 7 didn't think of the kids or wanted to take on the today show at it's own game.who knows we might get a new age version of this and kochie gets put on a dedicated news channel.
The show was canceled due to charges of sexual harassment from the puppeteer that did the agro character and it's why they were always had to replace female host's.
