Hughesy is quintessential to the problem with Australian comedy. If you can get with one of the 2 major comedy talent agencies, you'll get yourself continuous failed television shows on whichever network you wish. And if you don't get yourself a television show, you'll get yourself as a guest on one of these failed television shows.
They fail because they're not funny. Herein lies the problem. These talent companies sign these unfunny people after a funny 5 minute set and then flood the tv scene with them before they've matured their act. Then this flood of spots builds their ego to the point of no return, and we're left with the same unfunny comedians pulling the same predictable stereotype comedy that's been going on in Australia since the mid 90's.
Dave Hughes has been using the same bogan routine since then and has cashed in on this routine and this show is one in many short-lived shows he's had with the same 5-minute routine.
It's why you won't see him in a Working Dog Productions show outside of a brief appearance here and there. They know his style and it doesn't fit there's, so they won't force him on Australia like the out-of-touch producers do everywhere else with every other stereotype comedian in Australia who won't change or mature their act. It's why there aren't any long-stand comedy shows that aren't part of the above mentioned.
Can't image anyone will be running to to the time capsule to be looking for this unfunny, predictable, stereotype trash.
