This is my reaction to The Shaun Micallef Programme - Racism
In this video I react to more Australian comedy from Australian comedian Shaun Micallef and his comedy sketch show The Micallef P(r)ogram(me)
Original Video - • The Shaun Micallef Pro...
A group of my friends and I met Shaun walking down a major street in Melbourne CBD. He was so gracious and stopped for everyone and did photos. Great guy.
Shaun actually used to be a lawyer. Can you imagine him in a courtroom?
Indeeed!
It's great that he chose to make people laugh rather than get lots of money. As he's on the ABC he doesn't have a big mainstream following. I think a lot of his comedy is too intellectual for most. He's the funniest man in Australia.
Well according to available evidence, he wasn’t a barrister so one can’t comment on his courtroom ability. Let’s put our Shaun in a debate up against Stuart Littlemore KC. I would love to take bets on who would win.
There is more humour, wit and timing in sixty seconds of Littlemore hosting “Media Watch” than the entirety of Micallefs career. I would venture to suggest that there is more humour in a good barristers average day in court than anything our Shaun has ever produced on TV.
There are lots of comments alleging, I’m sure without any basis, that our Shaun was a partner in a commercial law firm who regularly made fun of his clients to their face.
So in answer to your question about having our Shaun represent you in court, the answer, I’m sorry to say, is that you would lose.
@@martythomas2383he’s had multiple programs on Nine and Ten and back in the day, Seven. He has a huge following - where have you been?
@@Wokko1963Magistrates and AAT are attended by solicitors.
Two words. "Milo Kerrigan" !!!!
FAFENEFENOIBY!!😝
This is Fabio, saying these things to you.
Best sketches ever.
You need to check out his political satire programme "Mad as Hell". It screened on The ABC. It was some his best work. I really miss it.
Oh yes,brilliant.I do miss that show!
One of the worst, publically funded Australian shows in history.
@@Wokko1963 worst-funded?
@@aperinich My bad, I inserted a comma in an edit.
Yeah, brilliant stuff.
Shaun has such a wide body of work it's hard to know where to start. Watching his characters on Full Frontal had me in tears laughing. Btw you pronounce his surname Mick-CAR-Luff with a emphasis on the CAR
It's a Maltese name, pronounced Mih-Cal-Leff, emphasis on the Cal, as you say.
@@engenulf Bloody wog name.
Shaun Micalle is more a satirist than a comedian I think. He's very clever.
He is very clever, isn't he? Very mercurial.
A good observation!
Oh man, you've got a whole Sean Micallef rabbit hole ahead of you. From Full Frontal to The Micallef Program (season 1,2,3), Newstopia, Mad as Hell and all the various side projects... The well is deep :)
Shaun is a very clever man and also a comedy genius. I love comedy but out of all the people I have watched and admired over the years Shaun has literally reduced me to tears of laughter more times than anyone else.
Shaun is hilarious. He does an amazing sports interviewer, constantly correcting the grammar etc of the footballers, for example.
If you’re interested in Australian humour with racist overtones, you must watch the series “How to talk Australians” which is on UA-cam. An Indian cast, replete with turbans, saris etc from the Delhi College of Linguistics, teaching Australian English. It’s full of racist jokes stereotypes etc or maybe it’s not.
Love that series...... but I don't think it's actually racist; which is why it's so clever.
@@anserbauer309 hence my last sentence.
@@tugdumbly1927 Yep. I was agreeing with you.
Be this the Micallef of Aussie Poetry I see before me!
He was the host of the series ‘Talkin’ about your generation’. A comedy quiz show with three generations. Gen Y. Gen X and Baby Boomers. It was a pretty funny show and it was never too serious. He also had a show called Micallef Tonight. He has done of a lot of political comedy in the way where he explains, mocks, and laughs at politics, policies, and other Political stuff. He is comedic genius.
And Mad As Hell
That show would have to be described as the lowest point of Micallefs’ career. Now that our Scots host has discovered the good stuff, all the commercial and distasteful flotsam that is generally recommended to him can be ignored. I hope.
His best shows were
The Micallef Program
Mad as Hell
Newstopia
Talking About Your Generation and
Micallef's Tonight were alright nothing brilliant with a few a moment's of brilliance.
@@Chapps1941says who?

Shaun had many great sketches with characters that he developed weekly. Some of the best were
- Roger Explosion: Secret Agent
- Milo Kerrigan the boxer
- David McGahn’s World (David Attenborough style spoof with ‘Goat-like creatures’)
Many of these started when he was on a sketch comedy show called ‘Full Frontal’ and continued on his own ‘The Micallef Pogram’.
cat cat cat cat cat cat cat caaaaaaaat!
Roger Explosion was great
I just love the bloke's origin story -as- a comedian.
He was an attorney, who kept talking at home about how he wanted to be a stand-up comedian.
His wife, tired of hearing about it, circled a date on the calendar and said "do it by this date or not at all".
And he did -- and we have one of our greatest satirists and comedians.
Love Shaun!Brilliant.I really miss my weekly dose of ‘Mad as Hell’.Fantastic political satire.
Mahat mecoat (?) comes from a cricket comedy by the "12th man" having a go at Indian cricketers names. Worth a watch
Mahatma Gandi was the source I thought.
Cuthisarmiarf and Soonhelhavasca priceless cricketers 😂.
Nah that was Greg Ritchie’s racist caricature from the Footy Show, Mahatma Coat

What makes Micallef so great is that he's as good at over-the-top visual and physical comedy as he is at subtle and/or deadpan satire and witty wordplay. He can find the absurd in the sophisticated and the sophisticated in the absurd.
As you say, "EXCELLENT".
And many of us (Australians) cannot cope with it ... deny deny deny ... excuses excuses.
:)
FYI - Micallef is pronounced Mi-car-leff >1st & last syllable with short vowel sound & middle syllable with long vowel sound like "car".
He is Scottish, not Australian, he can pronounce it however he wants! 🧐
Always liked Shaun Micallef. Kooky and surreal but really funny
Very intelligent man.
This bloke was a lawyer in Adelaide before his missus sent in a tape of him!!
Imagine being represented by Shaun eh!?
He was at his best back then - subtler humour, much funnier than now. My favourite was a plain nonsensical sketch about john wilkes booth and lee harvey oswald - making up silly conspiracy theories for fun, had me in stitches.
Probably because humour is no longer allowed.
@@wendytweedie2327lol he still does his same brand of comedy. Your getting a bit ahead of yourself there wendy 🤣
Your accent is wild, and this is coming from an Aussie mate haha good to see you enjoying our humour
Always liked his smooth baritone voice, and self depreciating humour.
He was previously a corporate lawyer.
I think you mean deprecating. If it were depreciating I would be concerned… 😂
@@wendytweedie2327 haha, in my defence, it must have been the fault of naughty spellcheck.
@@jstone247 better than fact checker! 🤣
Try his sketch "Spiffington Manse" which is a sort of spoof of Jane Austen TV adaptations
Just to help you.
Shaun is called MAC CALL IF.
Ibelieve that is right because I went to school with one.
Cheers. 🇦🇺
I always though it was Mc CAR liff
It's a Maltese name, pronounced Mih-Cal-Leff, emphasis on the Cal
I think the Australian pronunciation is Mick-kale-if.
... and as he is Australian ...
He's a lawyer and extremely tall. As quick as they come.
Shaun used to be lawyer! Whatever. One of the funniest shows of all time on my beloved ABC was “Media Watch” when it was hosted by Stewart Littlemore KC. I would love to take bets on a debate between Littlemore and our Shaun.
Full Frontal was his best work
One of the best to appear on Thank God You're Here😂
I recommend "Shaun Micallef's Acceptance Speech - Logies 2010" which is available on UA-cam. Genuis idea.
Micallef needs to be the new host of the daily show
Best Australian comedy show.
The Micallef Program was perhaps the most underrated Australian comedy of all time. Check out the Computron Business Solutions sketch. Genius
In a weird coincidence I bought the box set of this sbow and hopped off the tram straight in front of Shaun. I had a lovely chat with him. I've been to the taping of mad as hell a few times cause I live next to the TV studio. Watch wrong casting choice skit. It's insanity. Lol
Myhatnmycoat or my hat and my coat was a comic on "the footy show" in the 1990's
Look up "Full Frontal Milo Kerrigan hosts the Weather" it's one of the funniest Aussie characters of all time.
Full Frontal was a sequel show to Fast Forward, both were comedy sketch shows in the 90's in Australia.
I saw Shaun Micallef live and seeing him perform Milo Kerrigan live was so good.
Aussies are just so laid back that we laugh at ourselves all of the time and don't see much of an issue laughing at others either. It's naive to think that other races don't make jokes about us too which we can laugh along with. This world needs to lighten up and take a leaf from what we just viewed. Laughter is the best medicine and as long as we aren't severely offended anyone, what's the harm?🇦🇺💖
Facts. Usually people getting offended are offended on behalf of others and the people being joked about do not care. The people getting offended for others are worse than anyone telling a joke. They are literally speaking for someone else, taking away their voice.
This is fantasy level self appraisal!
@@ozzybloke-craig3690 That's almost a tongue twister, but I get your point. Call me old fashioned but since the internet and social media, I've never seen or heard of so much censorship just in everyday life. It's totally out of control, especially on platforms where there are many different cultures using it and there will always be those who take offence personally or on behalf of others. It's the UA-cam algorithm that desperately needs to lighten up!
@@garethb1961 How?
@@krisushi1 gareth has low testosterone levels.
Specific sketch recommendation: Micallef Program, Season 2 - "English Have A Go."
Shaun mcallaf comedy is always very meta and complex. Very high brow comedy. He's so smart.
More reaction to the Micallef programme. He was at his zenith pre 2007. I’d watch this channel endlessly if they did that on the reg
I personally love his deadpan satirical news/current affairs show Newstopia, i remember watching it on the ipod nano as an apple podcast thing in 07-08. He is a genius and a jack of all trades in terms of comedy, improv, hosting, presenting, writing, and impressions. He has also retained a core team of the same dedicated co-stars in most of his projects, i talk specifically about Francis Greenslade, Roz Hammond (seen in this skit) who have stuck with him since the 90s with Micallef Programme. Although they are support roles hey are also decent, talented comedians in their own right.
Mahat Mahcoate was an old Indian character skit from the NRL footy show year's age.
You've only touched on the spectrum of Shaun Micallef's comedy.
Haven't watched his stuff for ages but he is very good.
M hat M coat was a comedian that did impersonations. Always over the top and not everyone's cup of tea. Greg Ritchie is his real name, a former Australian cricketer also.
You’ve got very good taste in comedy mate
I miss this program so much
Watch "Thank God You're Here" He commonly on it but that show is gold!
Fun fact, Shaun is a corporate lawyer!
Mahattma Coat was an Australian cricketer that used to dress up as an Indian and have a segment on The Footy Show
There’s another sketch called “Hypothetical” which you’ll enjoy too
Please do more from this show.
Mahat Macoat was a character on the awesome NRL footy show. Then everything was banned.
Shaun is fabulous.
Love the accent mate!
More from Shaun...! 👏
Newstopia is another one of his shows .
Shaun Micaleff is a legit genius. I can't remember which field but I'm pretty sure he's a professor or doctor or something.
Sean Micallief is hilarious. I really liked his David Mcghan documentary segents especially the one about Yohan Sepbastian Bach. There is also another sketch called the Distance of Politeness which tickles my funny bone.
FWIW Mahatma Cote is a brownface character created about 20 years ago by former Australian cricker Greg Ritchie that was pretty racist. That ended up on morning radio as well as a popular late night sports programm. Pretty disgraceful, and unfortunately not the only instance.
Shaun has been my favourite local comadian years. His over the top style is hilarious but as you noticed there are many layers. Very meta.
Mahatma Coat was a comedic character on “the footy show” in Australia, funny az - another great one was the radio character of Uncle Doug Mulray’s on MMM he called “Guru Swamy Bugger the rest of you I’m alright thanks Jack G.” And gave terrible life advice, so terrible surely every listener would get the joke….geez I hope no one followed that advice lmao ! 🤣
4:59 literally had an elderly japanese man say this exact thing to me when visiting Japan.
I got the entire dvd set in a local tip shop for $1. Best bargain of my life.
He is brilliant and this piece reminds me (these days in 2024) of Pierse Morgan and his choice of guests and interactions with them.
The fatagram sketch where he comes in As Jesus singing a country song or the dick smith biscuit bit are classics.
Also the No friends sketch is hilarious
Not wanting to be racist, but I cannae understand yur accent! LOLZ 🤣 And by the way, our well-loved Sean's surname is MiCALlef, with the stress on the second syllable. 😉
He could not tell this joke today
He is brilliant!
Your pronunciation of the Scotttish name Micallef is fascinating 🤔
Not Scottish. Maltese.
@@kenbehren6119 I did not know that, thank you 😊 you really do learn something new everyday
Micallef cockburn sketch makes me laugh every time
my hat my coat is a cricket character Australian test cricketer Greg Ritchie performed : Mahatma Cote
PS - Mahatma Cote was an Australian cricketer called Greg Ritchie who blacked up and did an Indian character
You need to see his characters Roger Explosion (spy spoof), and Milo Kerrigan (ex-boxer media personality)
Back in 1998 (yes, a long time ago), I was helping to move an Army convoy through the Northwest of Australia and as we stopped in the town of Carnarvon, there was a truckie who was practicing reversing with one, then two and then three trailers of his 'road train'. This truckie was awesome, and was able to hit the 'mark' each time with any number of trailers. SKILL IS NOT NATURAL, IT IS EARNT.
For the uninitiated, Road Trains in Australia have two or three trailers (not to be confused with a B-Double).
I'm not a truckie and can be challenged by reversing my single trailer!
I have travelled across the US and many other countries in Aisa and the Middle East! I am sorry, but US and European truckies seem to only deal with 'black-top roads' and don't have any more that one trailer (maybe a B-Double). My apologies to any truckies that have to endure more rugged roads.
The ability of any truckie to be able to manoeuvre a two or three trailer set must be acknowledged as an awesome skill; and be able to do this safely is out os this world.
You need to watch “Mad as Hell” by Sean Micallef. Very clever!
Best skit ever on racism.
You’ve got to look Sean’s Roger explosion funny 😅
"Shpuld we laugh at racist jokes?"
"No!"
"What about if its funny?"
Micallef is the best 👌
One of the things to appreciate about Australian humour it is much like the British humour in as much as we are not afraid to laugh at ourselves
Loved the show. Watched it get shutdown live after he swore and was like fuck, you can't say fuck on live tv. Getting guest bands to add silly words into their songs like Lamington. I didn't think there was that many episodes. It was pretty short lived or was this a different show? Him as Milo and Fabio on Full frontal (F.F) was the best though. Muh fren used to do the best impression back in high school.
His Milo Kerrigan skits are legendary.
Mahatma Coat was a character created by a former test cricketer, who would appear in blackface as an Indian. The name is a play on Indian names. The idea of having Indian names that were actually based on English originated with a comedian in the eighties. In Australia the system of voting for our upper house has allowed a number of minority parties to be elected, some of these with racist policies.
check out Shaun as Milo Kerrigan, one of his funniest characters.
undercover cop one a beauty too
as an asian, we are bad drivers, we do see through rather narrow apertures, especially when we're smiling or laughing. but all true and hilarious. mahat my-coat is an indian character done by a former cricket player. greg richie?. hilarious character. he had a weekly segmant on a football show in australia in the 90s. hilarious stuff.
Why hasn't anyone mentioned the name of the show properly "The Micallef P(r)ogram(me)"
Mahatma Coat (no sure of the spelling) was comical Indian character (played by a white guy) on The Footy Show in the 90s
Check out some of Shaun Micallef's Milo Kerrigan sketchs. They were some of his funniest work.
Mate, Check out Shaun's character Milo Kerrigan. In my top 3 favourite characters along with Borat and Sir Les Patterson.
It's pronounced. Mi CAR Leff
you need to checkout "the chaser". Those guys are the satire kings!
Please tell me you've done the cockburn sketch
Shaun is a very clever man 😂
Mi-CAR-leff, not Micka-LEFF. FYI.
Yep Micallef is brilliant!
Check out Newstopia. Some amazing writing. I remember the large hadron collider being hilarious.
He was the best when he was in FULL FRONTAL.
Comedy genius
