    Aussie trailer park boys on crack

    Say what you want about this show, but it's fun and does social commentary it's own exaggerating way. Just under stand some parts are supposed to be rude and in your face with high velocity, and that's ok with me. I get it's not for some people and its unapologetic in that way. It's not trying to be anything else than what it is. Even though I compare it to trailer park boys, there are plenty of shows showing the lower class scheming formula.

    Side splitting comedy in lower class suburbia

    Frenech's Housos like Kath and Kim is masterful, frequent comic writing. He's a talent this guy, and that includes his acting too. As just recently becoming a confirmed Housos's addict, it's genius the way his whole comedy, no matter how off the wall it is, has a too underlying truth about it. Using fictional name Sunnyvale as a suburb, you want to wisely avoid (the show is set in Mt Druitt and Parramatta) we see the struggles of the lower class, taking to crime while sharing many sexcapades. The humor is foul, as is Shazza's mouth, but it's undeniably funny, with sharp cutting dialogue. Turps is great to see as the out of house father, who spends his days at the pub playing pokies, in not a half bad performance. Off the wall it is, trashy it is, but it's funny trash, but look underneath and you'll find a reality that's all so true about the lower class. The Centrelink angle cracks me up. May'be viewers can better understand what the lower class endure, where for them it's a vicious bloody circle, and how this problem really needs to be addressed, but for the viewer this show is bold and bloody funny.

    Top Aussie late-nite tv satire

    Kudos to Paul Fenech for this late-night satire! I don't know what Dame Edna would think of series but reckon for sure Sir Les Patterson would be tickled pink/ruddy-red with humour. Lead character Frankie is to all intents a down-under Warren Beatty/Warren Zevon love-child who's basically an anti-authoritarian outlaw jailbird on the run. Off the grid so to speak... (man a guy like Frank could do with a lawyer like Saul Goodman but that's a different story) although Frank's often goes back to home town Sunnyvale so he can sort stuff out if U know what I mean. Anyhow sit back and enjoy the ride folks (all U kiddies watching should go back to bed, as Roy & HG would say :)

    Previous Review Is Hypocritcal

    This show is one of the funniest things the Fat Pizza crew has done. I quite enjoy it. I used to pretty much live like these people for about 3 years, so i can relate. The previous reviewer has it all wrong she doesn't understand because she is from the states. Now if it was a show about rednecks. Maybe a different review would of been put up. Every country has its issues with people on the poverty line. Your country ain't perfect. Now go watch something else or i'll thong ya haha. Paul Fenech has come along way with his comedy, you need to go back to his earlier stuff with Fat Pizza to admire his work. Also have Swift & Shift which was also a great funny show. Must be doing something right with making 3 different shows and now making movies that blend all the characters into the one flick and he plays 3 characters. I myself am a big fan and hope to see many shows in the future!
