If this isn’t the most 80s thing I have ever seen. Love it. Good times. If only we could have a fraction of what this show brought to Australia back again.
Just before we went down to the Espy, The Chevron, or Chasers we wouldn't leave home until we watched Hey Hey it's Saturday. It was part of the Melbourne culture.
Life was so much better with shows like this around. No woke-ism, people just having fun and lots of laughter. So sad the way the world has gone now. Aussie TV has been so bad for so long with supposed 'reality' based garbage. I love having access to all the old shows where they weren't afraid to be funny, or worry about offending the 'delicate' people out there, and when we didn't have to pretend that we believed something that we didn't , just because we were told to by the minority etc. etc. Hey Hey was legendary, which is why it lasted for so long.
Human exspression comes in all forms. To delete or supress any of those forms is wrong. All forms are right. They may be different, they may challenge the norms but never should one idea take precedence over another. That leads to stagnation, not moving forward. I agree with the woke people, they have valid points and a great arguement that I do not dissagree with but not at the cost to all others. Creative thinking is the way forward and if you tell somebody they are wrong, not through logic but through emotion then you have failed the human race's progress, all ideas are equal. All people are equal. No one thing has sway over the rest.
@@spridgetmidget9238 No offence, but you use a lot of words to say : "Everyone has their own viewpoint. I believe in true progressivism which is to agree but disagree. You won't change minds with argument." Why not just say that? Why try to appear as smarter than everyone else? (Though you pretty gave it away when you said you were basically woke. Failing to spell "exspression" doesn't help your case either. You ain't smart, don't lecture others. /Life lesson)
@@mataph7805 yeah but it was a low bar to begin with, Francis was guaranteed to win after that lot, they audition these people obviously before they go on for real and they probably deliberately put Francis on at the end cos they knew he was the best of a shit bunch, the two man act was terrible, Daryl gave them a chance to get to the point and they just kept dragging on.
@@user-et6pj4db9s- ROFL. The *whole* idea of that segment is to find the _worst_ acts who want to embarrass themselves on AU national television. . Note that name of the segment is *"Red Faces"* ? It is the complete opposite of a "talent show". The producers find the worst they can, then they perform and the judges score them.
@@johncoops6897 yeah no shit, and Francis was the best of a shit bunch so they held him til the end, it's still tv dickhead it's got to have some entertainment value. I knew someone who auditioned dipshit I know exactly how it works.
I grew up with Hey Hey and when 3 I relocated from Sydney to Canberra where there weren't as many TV stations I missed HHIS so much I'd drive to Batemans Bay-whère they had more channels-check into the cheapest decent motel available just to get my fix of HHIS!!Jeez,how fked up is that?.😂Thanks guys ❤
It was super fashionable in 1987 - the big hair days! Forty years from now people will be laughing that everyone was walking around looking like Ned Kelly in the 2020's :)
Let's be honest it was a low bar after the first three acts dragged on so badly so he was guaranteed to win, no Shaun in the audience clapping him though, wonder where he was. This has to be the earliest red faces I've ever seen, red wasn't even in the shirt and tie he became known for in the 90s when this segment hit its peak popularity.
I wat hed this live when it came out, if i remember correctly they got a perfect score of 30 from all three judges. It was also the first time Red gave a score of 10
Oh but they do still make Aussie tv as long as it's all vacuous brain-dead reality shows, talent quests (which aren't ironic like this one) or game shows.
@@user-et6pj4db9s Ironic or iconic ? But yes everything is designed to be cheap and nasty that's the whole idea so we will give up on TV on all traditional entertainment and look to Google for every possible thing so in the future we will be totally 100% reliant on Americans for everything
@@James-kv6kb well the idea is to make money from streaming, when people pay for a streaming service there's an instant kickback to the company, when a tv station on old fashioned free to air broadcasting makes a program they rely on ratings from viewers to get money which is alot harder than just making a load of content or buying it for streaming and then making people pay upfront rather than waiting on ratings figures to decide the fate. And yes I meant ironic cos red faces is taking the piss out of talent shows as was the American show it was based on the Gong Show.
Fix your damn video settings! Every single video on your channel doesn't allow playing on my TV. I dont want to sit around watching in a crappy phone screen. No one else uses that stupid setting where the video owner restricts this.
@@heyheytvThanks for the reply. Was a bit frustrated as I'd tried so many times and lack of sleep. I guess different people have different set ups. When I try to cast to watch on the TV it just says "Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner". Have never had that from any other channel on RU-vid.
@@johncoops6897 Why are you making a confession on a topic unrelated to you? I'm a computer systems engineer, you're out of your depth buddy. This channel has an unnecessary setting on their videos restricting playback, and they haven't tested it on enough devices to verify it.
@@westernfrontproductions - well good for you... Good luck with getting the Channel Owner to change a setting that protects their You Tube content against being embedded into other websites. . If you are such a good "Computer Systems Engineer", then you would know that the first step in solving a problem is to diagnose the problem. Considering that this problem only affects ONE User, we can determine the most likely place that the problem is occurring. . Hence, as even somebody who isn't a "Computer Systems Engineer" could work out... why don't you simply change YOUR system settings, so that you can cast from one device to another without involving a third intermediate website or service? 😉😉
I love reality TV particularly the fun I get guessing the pre nomination winner Its all fake the world has gone W OK E and we are worse off FOR RU-vid NO HATE MAIL JUST AN OPINION
Everything I don't like is woke. Waah! Nobody is forcing you to watch shit tv, why don't you try reading a book or exercising your brain in some noble endeavour instead of complaining about something you can't even define?
