Those Indian Dudes were awesome. I'd watch Indian chaser. Actually, I'd watch any chaser seeing as though it's been off air now for years. I really miss them. RIP Chaser.
I'm not sure how I stumbled accross this, but I'm glad I did. As a Brit, I probably suffer from the stereotypical belief that no other country has equal humour, but this is genius.
There will never be comedians like the Chasers in America. You couldn't get away with half the stuff the Chasers do in America. Americans are just too sensitive.
Uh nope. This is Australia, not America. Here, government-funded tv have small budgets and the only propaganda is regarding equality, human rights and the environment (not politically-targeted government propaganda like in the U.S). The ABC put significant limitations on the Chaser because they didn't want big controversy or lawsuits, and belonging to the ABC didn't help them get away with stunts or protect them if they went too far (unless you count using the ABC's legal team, but any large TV station would have a large legal team). Being on the ABC gave the Chaser creative freedom, especially without executives and sponsors interfering like you'd get in commercial TV, but they certainly didn't get "away with it" because they were on government-funded TV. You could easily do the same stunts and humour on commercial TV, but the execs generally don't do such shows because a) it's a risk and you need good comedians to do it, and b) it's not targeted at increasing ratings and brining in money (this kind of humour tends to alienate people, dividing an audience),.
@xtothezeee yeah but its still better than american shows, like no other american program has the balls to sneak through 2 or 3 check points and exit a car dressed as osamo bin laden right outside the us president's hotel...
