American Reacts to Agro's Cartoon Connection - This was an actual kids show in Australia! 

Brings back very fond memories indeed!

@@southernforestgypsy ... I would never miss an episode of Cartoon Connection & I often wonder about the “mental therapy” required for Anne Marie, Teresa Livingstone & even Ranger Stacey whenever she’d appear on the show. Damnnn... I’m REALLY showing my age remembering all of THAT!!! 😱😱😂😂

@@gerardroll6468 you must be in the eastern states Gerry, I'm over here in the west. Yeah hey reember when the dog took aggro's head...I almost p*ssed myself laughing with my dad at that one.. Have a good day Gerry!

@@southernforestgypsy ... Yes, I’m in NSW & DO remember when the dog took off with Agro 🤣🤣🤣. Ahhh yes... The joys of live TV ☝️😝

@@gerardroll6468 I was 13 years old when this aired!

Well said, I agree

This is so true

You mean when sexism and racism were OK? Ffs

@@JoTracy Oh oh, somebody is triggered. 🙃

@@andrewosier614 yep, they clearly don't remember a time when you could laugh at yourself and others without needing to take a pill or have a lay down. The world has turned into a bunch of soft cocks.

I know!! How good was this comment!!

To give that some context at the time Saturday Disney was the cartoon show that aired on Saturday mornings in the morning time slot on the same channel (7) as Agro. So yeah he was joking that if they fuck up and get the show canceled then the Saturday Disney crew would take over that whole time slot for the week. Of course at the time Disney wasn’t what it is today so they didn’t have all the marvel and Star Wars cartoons to throw at that kinda thing and they weren’t going to have non Disney owned cartoons so it was never a real threat when he said that.

This was the early nineties and at the time, Agro's Cartoon Connection out rated both Good Morning Australia and The Today Show. It aired Monday to Friday. Saturday Disney was on Saturday mornings. Agro's Cartoon Connection got axed in late 1997.

He nailed it

@@unstoppableExodia The Disney Channel didn't exist in Australia at the time, cable tv didn't arrive in Australia till like 1994-5. So Channel 7 ran all the Disney cartoons, World of Disney content and whichever movies they could convince Disney to put to air. The company was massive at the time as well, it's not true to say they weren't a behemoth at the time. They've just become a bigger behemoth.

We had Saturday morning Disney show that was similar: Saturday Disney. I always imagined that to be the reference but it is definitely still a contemporary reference!

That one definitely aged like fine wine lol

You nailed it haha

he was the king dicky knee

Probably because Jamie would get his arse kicked

Yeah I grew up with this..Agro still cracks me up ..Dave Allen..2 ronnies..Benny hill ..kenny Everett was my tv diet as a kid...can't beat Aussie/British humour.

Hey Hey its Saturday was the best! Such a shame the politically correct cotton wool brigade wouldn't let us get away with it these days. My childhood ambition was to get on the Red Faces segment lol.

thing is they were filmed in front of a live audience. Primary schools would take classes on excursions to see these filmed live. so gone to air or not kids heard it all HAHA

True that most of the clips you see on RU-vid were outtakes that were not aired. One of the funniest things they did air was a segment with a guide dog (normally extremely well behaved animals) … Agro was inside a letter box and the puppeteer stuck the puppet out of the box with a letter in its mouth and the dog ripped the puppet off and started violently shaking and chewing it like a toy while the puppeteers hand was left naked sticking up out of the box 😹

Ahhhh thank you! I used to watch agro all the time and did not remember these bits, and my mum would never had let us watch it if this was how it was!

you n me both grew up watchin agro in the 90’s

Ah back when everyone had a sense of humour and aren't attacking each other like today.

Glad you noticed! Haha I enjoy learning and definitely try my best to apply it to immersing myself into your wonderful culture. And I’m happy you got a good laugh 😂

@@IWrocker Agro will always be hilarious. Dicky knee didn’t age well at all, neither did Hey Hey. Some things are best left in the 80’s like big hair and shoulder pads, cringe.

Didn't realise how much slang we use until I went to the USA Tried finding a stubby holder Everyone looked at me like I was speaking Chinese. How did you guys name it a coosy?

@@toozy101 Cossie stole it from an Aussie.

@@IWrocker you should check out Paul hogan show🇦🇺 classic,, you'd never get away with that stuff now days 😂,

omg you're so right... Now bluey is not inclusive enough, and if agro was on in this age... Heck some idiot tried to ban gaytimes because... "they're gay?" so how dare we steal their word.

When the world was more sexist. This is EMBARRASSINGLY dated more than funny. Very telling who thinks it's "hilarious"

@@JoTracySexism is a state of mind in many cases, she was going along with it and enjoying herself and telling him off enough, and they are just jokes, know one knows how to laugh anymore at anything that isn't PC, society is so boring now, my Mum and I used to watch it and thought it was funny back in the day, still do now.

@@JoTracy bet you are fun at parties

@@JoTracy I see your like to spend your day's trolling the comments on RU-vid, You have won the SnowFlake award! To redeem your prize drive into the nearest wall.

Or.... this is what freedom doesn’t look like... when someone has the “freedom to” do something that publicly imposes their values, such as casual racism and casual sexism, onto others who are denied, by these actions actions, another type of freedom - the “freedom from”- to be free from being publicly ridiculed, denigrated, “put back in your place”, or stereotyped because of being female, or an immigrant, or non-white, not heterosexual or gender diverse or disabled. The limits of a persons freedom to do something is reached when it denies another’s persons freedom from being treated in ways that diminish them as a human, that deny them equal standing in society, that relegates them to second class citizen status, and prevents them from enjoying the rights that others enjoy simply because of being different, unconventional, or not traditional to the “mainstream” culture. But hey, you still have the freedom to do something that not everybody agrees with and you can be free from the imposition of others values.... in your own home - it’s just that when it comes to your freedoms in public settings you just need to consider your actions and the impact on other’s freedom - the “freedom from” type of freedom.

@@blodknut5595 OK snowflake! don't forget to water your magical pink unicorn before ridding out of town, bye.

@@blodknut5595 get over it dude it was the 90s and as someone who grew up watching the show there was never any racism or sexism on it ever 🤷‍♂️

@@blodknut5595 Go in the corner and have a big fat cry I am disabled and IT WAS FUCKING HILARIOUS!

@@5lcalais1 Unless Ann-Maree was cool with it, then there was the sexist side of Aggro, but as you said it was the 90s and PC just wasn't a thing. There's a lot I hate about PC, but I see their point. Live and learn.

were* funny.

@@Lupi33z LOL.Facts there. PC has even seeped into Oz society

U do know that stuff was never aired right? 🤣

Our banter game is pretty strong :)

@@katyp855 fk oath it is 👌 And we're quick too, ya know be careful what u say to Ozzie cause we can turn things into a joke in about 6.23 seconds 👌 true story 🤘🤣

You and Me are cut from the same cloth mate! The days...

@@banjopatterson3574 Yep!

That is so f up do you Evan realise that he was sexulay assaulting that lady in every show under the table

@@Dangersdi Did Anne Marie EVER say she was assaulted? NO. So who in the hell are you to accuse a good man of sexual assault when the women you allege he is doing it to doesn't even think that... People like YOU are the people that have ruined fun in life and comedy. You think a man and woman can't be touchy feely and playing around? You also think you are so superior that you get to talk for other women regarding serious allegations. The show ran for years and is a classic attitude that all Australians loved and embraced. Including myself, mother father and siblings. For your info also Jamie Dunn (Agro) has had a maniac female stalker after him for years. stalker. Google it. He was/is being abused by a woman not the other way round. Keep your can't handle anything hissy fits to yourself and mind your own business.

@@Dangersdi yea I remember that too

@@louispconstant6624 yes she did and so did stacy

@@Dangersdi Err no, they didn't. Show me the proof. Are you even Australian?

They were however, done in front of a live audience

@@Kalani_Saiko an audience of school children from memory!

@@K24Z3CU2 yep!

I hear you bud 👍😔

I agree with you mate

Started with Howard, worst pm ever and it's been downhill since.

@@davidbarlow6860 Actually it started with Hawke and Keating. Every government since just continued their horrible work.

That why I have taken my filter away and speak my mind. I get a lot laugh but f up looks to. Totally agree with ya cobba

Hilarious!

Did plucky duck even say anything? Dicky Knee was the one who talked.

Dicky knee was better

Don't forget Ozzie ostrich 👌

I remember Fast forward and Full Frontal and Totally full frontal THEY WERE FUNNY.

So funny

Don't forget the "are you ready for your internal" (medical checkup) joke.

Wasn't his favourite NRL player Wally??

Oh further to this, they had a talet show segment called "Red Faces". there will be best of videos on RU-vid. Please find some (it won't be hard) and do a video on that, you'll love it.

Hey Hey It's Saturday wasn't that great, and it has nothing to do with political correctness. Now, The Late Show... *that* was real champagne comedy! (and not exactly PC either)

@@TheKnobCalledTone. . Everyone has a different sense of humour. Many people go crazy over Monty Python, whereas I don’t find it funny at all.

You need to see the Dicky knee highlights Man.

Don't forget Ozzie the Ostrich 😀

Sorry, I'm confused, laughing at immature stuff is having a good sense of humour? Never understood thing. I'm just not sure how it's humour but then I'm called immature because I'm not laughing at 'mature' stuff and I don't get how the two are interchangable.

@@Roadent1241 Adults laughed at it too, you just don't have a good sense of humour.

@@Kalani_Saiko Just because I don't laugh at allo crap doesn't mean I have a bad sense of humour?? I could say the same about you immature seeming lot XP

@@Roadent1241 When it comes down to it, most people loved Agro and still do, if you don't like it then it's not anyone else's problem but your own

@@Kalani_Saiko Fair enough. Sorry I don't like immature rubbish like that XD This is the first time I'm learning the character(/actor?) exists so if that's what aired I'm concerned. I didn't think outtakes got kept in any sort of capacity so that's why I thought it was kept in. Especially since they ran credits over it.

Na mate, check out the Paul Hogan hangover cure. The clip is pure genius.

@@petert3355 hangover cure with Strop. So many good Hoges skits.

No.... wasnt that ranger Stacey? Whos kate?

It was the 90's

@@iggyblitz8739 it technically started in 89, hence why I said it, but you are right too

Pure gold. Leo Wanker was my favourite!

John Cornell aka Strop died today RIP.

Even aussie cats loved agro - he was such fun

Feminists would have you believe female on male DV is a myth

They didn't actually air the foul things agro said. These are all outtakes

@@XaviRonaldo0 Idiots would have you believe that feminists would have you believe female on male DV is a myth.

Karen.

@@Lt.BunnyGirl Um ok champ. Getting your virtue points in are you. Actually Nathan any attempt to raise the issue of domestic violence against men gets shot down just like you are trying to in your response.

There was an agro up late on win tv a LONG TIME AGO I don't think I was even born yet you can find it on youtube (if they haven't gotten rid of it) and it was even cruder then ACC!

Yep IT WAS!

Certainly interested in that, added to my todo list!

Captain Leo Wanker...Trevor dags....just from the top of my head :D Whatever happened to our sense of humour??

Yay! You better believe it 😉🎉👍

Wow that’s interesting, unfortunate actually.. you’re right she was so bubbly and likeable!

The woman who sent hate mail to Jamie Dunn who voices Agro was Jacqueline Draper (also known as Jackie Cochran) and she was arrested and charged for it. She had nothing to do with the show's production and was never a host. The show's most popular host Ann-Marie and Jamie Dunn himself have spoken in later years of having a good working relationship together while on the show.

@@dutchroll wrong! Sorry.

never knew that! LOL

@@RobboTheDisabledVlogger mate the evidence is all there in the public forum including the media reports and the court case in December 2014. She was charged with one count of stalking and 16 counts of "use a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence". She got off with a good behaviour bond. It was *not* Ann-Maree Biggar. The woman was *not* a host on the show or anything to do with it. Jamie Dunn himself was interviewed about this. It's plastered all over the web but you can believe whatever you like - doesn't change the fact it's false and was nothing to do with the host. It'd actually be kinda funny if Ann-Maree Biggar read this and sued you for it.
