Reaction To The Shaun Micallef Programme - Feminism 

Shaun is probably the King of absurdist comedy in Australia. From his characters on Full Frontal/Fast Forward like Milo Kerrigan, Fabio (the Most Beautiful Man in The Cosmos), and David McGahan, to the various incarnations of The Micallef P(r)ogram(me)/Micallef Tonight/Newstopia/, to Mad as Hell. Each and every one was capable of sending the viewer into stitches or utter confusion. Even all these years later I can't watch a Milo sketch without tears running down my cheeks. At one point Channel Nine poached him, but apparently had no idea what they were buying other than the fact he was popular. The show got off to a typically bizarre start (Shaun conducting a long-winded introduction to his first guest, then ending the interview almost immediately since he'd covered everything there was to talk about) and then was spectacularly canned after some unintended foreshadowing.

He is a very smart guy, Amish road rage is one of my favourites.

Best thing to ever come out of Australian TV.

The people in the thread not understanding that the joke is on the interviewer exposing his sexism as satire is frightening.

He has so many great comedy sketches from over the years. I think my favourites from back in the day were a short sketch series he had called “Roger Explosion”. He was playing a character called David McGahan (one of his long running characters) who had an acting past as Roger Explosion (a 007 type character).

Such a great show - I love the Dracula has a sea change sketch and the Polite Distances sketch - All the David Mcgan's world sketchs are great too. Keep these reactions coming!

As an Australian I love to see someone finally reacting to Shaun Micallef. If you want to see something a bit different from his show, I recommend the English Have A Go and Spiffington Manse sketches.

I just love all the characters they came up with, with the silly names. I miss that show.

incredibly glad there’s more reactions to the micallef program. this is australia’s best comedian in his best show. i’ve waited and hoped for many years someone would do reactions to this. there’s a lot of nominations for best sketch. polite distances is short but arguably his finest.

Brilliant. Was actually called The Micallef Pogram, causing most to think the TV Guide had made a typo..Week after week. :)

Also, check out Shaun as Milo Kerrigan!! So funny!

His faux interviews are simply the best on the planet. So many packed and powerful verbal punches in this discourse.

He is a Lawyer /Barrister? by trade. He does the straight man part so well

BTW, for a little context. Shaun used to be a lawyer before he got into comedy - which you can notice in a lot of his sketch comedy dialogue.

He was great as the host of 'Talking bout your generation' too! 🤗

Hey dude, your videos are stretching the video you are watching badly. And SM is a GENIUS!

Shaun hosted a game show called Talkin’ ‘bout your generation. And it was hilarious! There are probably a few clips here on RU-vid.

Ooowhh, kid in a candy store time! My favourites are - Count Dracula's sea change; "Cockburn"; filing cabinet prostitute and Randy Twiss as Quasimodo changing a car tyre and singing the Lord's prayer.

If I can suggest one sketch - "I bloody Dare Ya!" - a take off of those challenge celebrity shows - it's fantastic

He is Brilliant.

I have this collection on DVD, and still love to watch it from time to time.

I am familiar with Shaun Micallef. I really like this satire type sketch, especially when addressing certain issues in society. Thank you Elizabeth from Australia.

Love Shaun ! There was a show in Australia called "Thank God You're Here ' He was so good when he was on it! I'd love to see a reaction to an episode of that show.

Found it Milo kerrigan..so good bro

He's a great guy. I've had him in my studio many times and he's truly a brilliant guy both on air and off. Slightly less manic off air. On air you have to keep your wits about you as his mind works at lightning speed.

Transsexual discussion is another peak Micallef surrealist sketch.

Sotto Voce!

Once you stumble over language, you're toast. It's like trying to select the right words to avoid the firing squad.

Shaun Micallef is brilliant, one of his characters called Milo the boxer should have you in absolute hysterics!

You've got to check out Shaun's much more recent news 'satire' show 'Mad as Hell' pretty much everything he does is excellent - a true Australian treasure

You gotta check out Eric Banner as Poida on the Aussie comedy show, Full Frontal. He's hilarious!

Have a look at Bob and Cheryl Ugly, from Full Frontal!! Absolute classic!

The political sketch is brilliant, but, please dude, you gotta watch the brilliance of I bloody dare you. It’s the one with the kayak. Surrealism and pure wit combined for comic genius. That and polite distances.

My favourite Aussie comedian. Super clever and lightening quick.

Great show

The Dr. Miracle sketches were hilarious. There was a lawyer one as well but I forgot the name.

He was unreal on Thank God You're Here. So was Angus Sampson and Carl Baron

Shaun was certainly ahead of time c. 30 years ago. PS any chance of not squishing the video down so much, as it was a bit flattened. 👍

The sketch "Dog Whistle" is my favourite, it's on youtube as well.

Check out this clip from his Mad as Hell satirical talk show - "They've Got A Pamphlet | Shaun Micallef's MAD AS HELL"

What a genius show, legendary

Autograph hunter sketch

Some of his sketches just broke your brain back in the day. There was one I can't find on RU-vid where he's playing a doctor and tells a woman "I'm sorry, we've lost him" and she hugs him and starts crying l, but then reels back looking disgusted and says "you've got an erection!", to which the doctor character replies "oh no it's my belt, I've got a big old buckle on it!" before the scene randomly cuts to two men dressed like The Two Ronnies...so bizarre

Claude Bilé and his invisible poodles 🐩

I find Roz very attractive, on both levels. Brilliant, subtle humour, I love it!

Many people dont realise that Shaun Micallef once had the potential to be as big as Steve Vizard. Its Really True.

His Milo Kerrigan character was the best. Absolutely hilarious.

KreepySpooks theatre restaurant sketch. Schnitzels!

When society has everything, it becomes exhausting to endure.

Such a difficult sketch to write. It would be so easy to go over the top, but Shaun has it well balanced. There are some beautiful little gestures and deliveries. I think it would be a hard sell for anyone to pick up on his humour on first viewing. Well done to those who did. I have a few American friends who would simply dismiss this out of hand and pleadingly ask what on earth was funny about it.

just love this man’s humour

How is Shaun in his 30's here. Holy crap. He is 61 now and looks identical.

Shaun Micallif is one of our best comedians. Love him. Another Aussie comedian I'm sure you'd appreciate is Simon Taylor. Try his Ethnic Aussie Accents skit..

Also check out Uncle Arthur from the Comedy Company! I grew up watching this comedy! Far better than today's crap!

His Woody Allan impersonation is bloody amazing.

The Micallef program/programme/pogram were brilliant. Sketch comedy at it’s best. Plenty of classics but I get a real kick out of the cockburn sketch.

Yes Shaun is the best of the best on Australian TV .. did you know that he had a show over 15 years ago where Hanna Gasby was his co host

we had a show here called" thank god youre here" it was all improv. he fking killed it. love shaun. he also had a show a few years ago about news and politics. very clever if your into that stuff. im not into politics and it was still hilarious. he just takes the piss out of everyone hahahaha. cleverly. hahaha

I met him! Great guy

Micallef should take over the daily show in the us

He’s always been very popular, was great in old Full Frontal tv show

There are so many good sketches you really should watch the entire show.

MILO KERRIGAN! By far his best character!

One of our best comedians. If you want to see another funny Australian comedian check out Norman Gunston.

One must remember that Shaun Micallef is a practicing Barrister.

The sketch where he interviews a blind person is hilarious. Also "The Filth" where he plays a bumbling police officer with Glen Butcher who he worked with on Full Frontal 😝

Omg that is golden

Mick-a-leff POGRAM (ahh that ep with Kenny G is Hi Lara we us. I have the complete collection from fast fed to full frontal etc

Espionage is a french word for surveillance, subterfuge and reconnaissance.

If you like Shaun Micallef I recommend searching for D Generation, The Late Show and Fast forward. It was Australian sketch comedy at it's finest. Plenty of irreverant jokes which couldn't be told now.

Milo Kerrigan sketches from Full Frontal - physical / slapstick gold.

Shaun Micallef is an oldschool legend.

Dr Miracle

Micallef is one of the original Full Frontal crew from back in the day. Been sh!tting on politicians for decades.

If you haven’t yet seen them. The Doug Anthony Allstars are brilliant

That's quite old, you should check out his more recent stuff - Mad as Hell. It might not hit as well since it involves a lot of local political satire, with the cast impersonating various federal politicians.

Genius. Lawyer from Adelaide poking holes in society

Behind the badge police sketch

Do the Blind mountain climber interview sketch from this pogram.

Fabio..! The Most Beautiful Man in the Cosmos!

Micalleff. It's all good! What's with the aspect ratio of the clip???

that was in the 80s humour - today everyone is different

If you like that, you should watch the micallef program transgender skit. Hilarious!

This series of the Micallef P(r)ogram(me) featured a lot of sketches in which Shaun kisses Roz, like a LOT of sketches, to the extent that it almost became a little suss, like he was into her and kept writing sketches that would let him make out with her. Just speculation of course, as far as I know they've never been romantically linked, it was just very noticeable when the series aired.

Uni degree, good on you 😂

just proves,men come from Mars, women come from Venus. (or is it hell)

I grew up with Shaun's humour. Check Clarke and Dawe. ☮️

I think that you would like the RU-vid video entitled, “Micallef - Transsexual Discussion” and maybe “Shaun Micallef - English Have a Go”. They are both from this same show. You would probably also like “Shaun Micallef Aboriginal Sketch”. That’s from the Australian sketch show Full Frontal and not from The Micallef Progamme, so I don’t know if you’ll want to react to that one or not. It is the. same sort of humour. I have labelled the videos by the names they have on RU-vid. They are not necessarily the official names of the sketches.

Do him as a boxer...well done

Shaun has plenty of writers.

watch the "hypothetical spoof" sketch - v funny

I always found this segment poignant. She clearly fancies Shaun, but he can’t get out of his own way despite her giving him countless opportunities to be open in expressing his affections for her. That kiss she gives him at the end and the look on her face as she walks off- and the look on his face as he’s left standing there- is powerful stuff…

Tim Minchin. If you want other worldly talented comedy. Tim Minchin.

Shaun Micallef is what you would call my favourite Australian comedy. He is amazing, that was good, but I have seen better. 😂😅😂

There’s another one on transgender you must see

Help make a dying kid's dream come true sketch…

Finish it off with the cockburn sketch
