Russell Coight's All Aussie Adventures

It's been too long since we last saw Russell but im glad he's back. If your looking for a show that gives you a few laughs then Aussie Adventures is the show for you. Yes, the jokes are corny and most of the time you can see what's going to happen a mile away but WHO CARES! Isn't that kind of the main reason why we love the show to begin with?? The show cracks me up and Glenn is one of the few great comedians on Aussie tv who after all the years still make us laugh. Im so glad this show has come back because im sick to death of almost eveything on tv now is some reality based show. Cooking shows, weight loss, home reno , house buying, dating, weddings, singing, talent... The list just goes on and on and on. So I just like to say...Thank you Russell Coight (Glenn Robbins) for taking the time and effort to give us Aussies a laugh or two. Cheers!

This is the funniest outback adventure show I have ever seen. Glenn Robbins is hilarious as the incompetent Russell Coight, who is a typical outback bloke - with a difference. He is constantly having his tent collapse on him, his car gets stuck at least once an episode (and he somehow manages to get out every time, but we never see that), he meets outback folk and interviews them badly. He knows nothing about the bush, and if you ever hear him say the words "this is an endangered species" be warned - that species numbers are about to go down by one.

I've only seen season 2. I bought this at an Op Shop thinking it was an offload adventure deco, a lighthearted but serious one. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was all comedy. Oddly it is all pretty much the same joke. Mr Coight intruduces us to some aspect of outback camping, tourism or bush know-how, only to have whatever it is collapse, explode or be interrupted at the last moment. Occasionally Mr Coight reveals some redneck ideas he believes in. All Aussie Adventures all being basically one joke repeated I would have thought repetitive and unsustainable. Not so. This is actually funny. Australian viewers will certainly be familiar with the format he is sending up. Actually it is not all one joke as the narration is often out of sync with the images, and the narration itself, often with invented history from the 1800s, is a bit of a laugh too. Anyway, as comedy, it worked for me, and I got plenty of laughs.

With all three seasons being simply great, comedian Glenn's character of Russel Coight in this hilarious mockumentary is simply hilarious and feels like a breath of fresh air into the soulless world of Australian TV of 2017. It's Australia's funniest and best entertainment creation of the 21st century. And unlike almost every other show, it was just as good (if not better) by the end of the show's run as its start.

My only dissatisfaction about the show is that it's over! I would love for Network Ten to order a fourth season.

Glen Robbins portrayal of the character "Russel Coight" is brilliant. Russel Coight is a parody of the many Australian identities such as the bushtucker man, malcom douglas to name a few, who decided to make documentaries about the Australian outback. Loosely based upon the Leylands series. Glen Robbins puts Russel Coight into embarrassing situations which shows the funny side of human nature when put into awkward and uncomfortable situations. We see Russel's lies and cover ups as everything doesn't go to plan. The way that Russels character is portrayed is just pure genius. If you ever get the chance to see this then definitely watch it or hire/buy the DVD.
