Aussie satire a bit like Some Mothers Do Have 'Em
29 June 2020
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.
