There was a music and drama teacher at my primary school exactly like Mr G. He’d put on elaborate eccentric shows which were basically all about him, and he’d always run on stage in the middle of them and have some 10 minute clarinet solo. He was actually a pretty talented and creative guy, but he was a nightmare to work with and he was a massive diva.
I love the whole thing but for some reason this part makes me laugh the most, I think because it's supposed to be a serious thing about that girl dying and he had to include the dog thing in there too lol!
Sure he's a bit of an ego maniac, but I'd love to have a teacher as enthusiastic as Mr g. All the rest of the cast looks genuinely thrilled to be there which is better than can be said for a lot of the education system
Yer it made an otherwise boring subject at the time interesting. Not that i'd be bored of it now at 27 but back then I couldn't be bothered and this made me want to learn about satire... But can't help but think, maybe it wasn't appropriate for high school.. I dunno
It's all gone the Americans have extinguished all Australian entertainment so we all act like stupid Americans sitting on tiktok and social media so only they are making money 😢
“Oh Selene, why did you run in the road? It’s Rodney’s fault for leaving the door of the gym open.” (cam pans to Rodney LOL). “As most of you know, I am no longer teaching here, I was driven out due to mistreatment and general abuse”… This show is too good HAHA
The Americans won't allow it. they've paid the TV stations just stop making this sort of thing so everybody sits on tick tock which makes them money but doesn't actually provide any real quality entertainment. It's incredibly sad that they now run the world
Brilliant as everyone has said. But I want to mention the closing cutaway shot (external shot of school foyer panning up to night sky). I actually tear up at that shot and can't fully put my finger on why. It is something about the unironically good closing musical number, combined with a deep sense of nostalgia for my own high school years (even though I was never a drama kid) and the sense that this type of scene, shared between proud parents in the audience and starry-eyed kids on stage with their whole lives ahead of them, is repeated generation after generation in schools across the country. That closing shot feels so poignant somehow. Hope I'm not the only one 😅
Such a amazing shows like this all gone . I guarantee Google paid the television stations to stop making shows like this so Google can replace quality entertainment with American social media crap
id legit pay so much money to go see this exact show, Mr G is a freaking Genius
I'm going to tell my kids this is Euphoria
lmao
“Due to the selfishness of your principal, you are sitting on the floor.” 🤣
"it's rodney's fault for leaving the door of the gym open" I'M WHEEEEEEEZING
Poor Rodney.
@@atomicplaygirl66 "Celiiieeene!"
@@jainra i love....adore...the way he pronounces her name!
I genuinely don't understand whats funny about that line?
@@MNizamee he is throwing him under the bus and blaming him for her death
Oh, Celine. Oh, Jessica. Those damn drugs, that bloody car. 🎼
Poetry!😂
*the special ones, the normal ones, the chinese ones as well*
Mr G writing himself into the death of that girl is just so horrible, I love it!

Oh god🤣 I had a drama teacher like sort of like that, only she's was more fun with the dramatic improve, often interrupting us in other classes
I think that's why these Chris Lilley characters work, because there are real people like Jonah, Jaime and Mr. G out there.
😅
Did you ever play Slap The Butcher?
@@tomace4898 🤣
Mr G, for all his faults, knew how to put on a production. The school didn't appreciate that they had an industry pro for the price of a teacher!
& they also refused to fund an arena spectacular for the show 😂.
They could have had an arena spectacular, but due to the selfishness of their principal, they had to make do with crappy seats.
Why did Ja’mie and Jonah get their own shows and not Mr G? He’s the funniest Chris Lilley character there is
cosmo I know right
Maybe he felt like he’d done everything with the character
Because he is himself, and went back to TEACHING!!! YAY!!
Went back to teaching everyone!
Respect Jonah
Agreed !
i can’t get
“SHE’S A NAUGHTY GIRL WITH A, BAD HABIT, BAD HABIT FOR DRUGS”
out of my head
It was actually mixed into a full song and got played on the radio back then: ua-cam.com/video/V2hQhOrgMOM/v-deo.html
Yeah, it’s unironically catchy
“You look just like you did in your bed. Except this time you’re dead.”
Lmao underrated line
Those damn drugs that bloody car
Jessica’s mother has a great theatre voice.
Was thinking the same thing, I loved her duet with Mr G
Yes that’s Belinda! She did her diploma in musical theatre.
Jessica is talented af ID STILL BE ALIVE IF I TOOK THE ADVICE OF MR G
Its the. Shade throwing at the end for me. Trashing the school and the boss then announcing going to work there again.
I love how he got that extra Celine in 🤣🤣
When Toby drops from the ceiling I about died! 😂😂😂
Not gonna lie, this is really well produced musical
Tia Reynolds because it’s fake lol
I really get annoyed when people say I'm not going to lie cuz basically you're saying you normally do 😂
Euphoria before euphoria.
The dog being pulled up to the roof had me cackling 😂😂😂
i like how the dog hangs there like yeah this is cool, I can see everything from here.
I love the whole thing but for some reason this part makes me laugh the most, I think because it's supposed to be a serious thing about that girl dying and he had to include the dog thing in there too lol!
_WITH A BAD HABIT FOR DRUGS_
*those* *damn* *drugs* , _that bloody car_
brings a tear to the eye
One man, one teacher, tried to make a difference. And that teacher was mr. G g g g g g
so wonderfully inappropriate for school!
The dog being lifted on wires 😂
This show should be preserved by the Australian Film, Television & Sound Archive.
I LOVE that the audience are the parents and grandparents of the students and had no idea what was going on
& in 2008 they would've just went home laughing it off 😂. 2023 is another story 😂.
The last two songs are actually pretty amazing.
"The smell of children"
Sure he's a bit of an ego maniac, but I'd love to have a teacher as enthusiastic as Mr g. All the rest of the cast looks genuinely thrilled to be there which is better than can be said for a lot of the education system
The biggest plot hole is how Ja’mie isn’t playing the lead in the school play- surely she would insist on it…
I'm not joking, We studied this in school. In english class
🤣🤗 Love it! I bet that was fun AF
Yer it made an otherwise boring subject at the time interesting. Not that i'd be bored of it now at 27 but back then I couldn't be bothered and this made me want to learn about satire... But can't help but think, maybe it wasn't appropriate for high school.. I dunno
same
Summer heights high is also in the year 10 history text book
Same lmao
I wish this was an arena spectacular!
that last number is every drama teacher's dream
Honestly I think about this once a day.
Still thinking about it?
Those damn drugs, that bloody car! 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is freaking genius
Anabelle dixon would be turning in her grave if she saw this.
Chris Lilley is a GENIUS
I reckon we should all petition for a 6 episode special of mr g
It's all gone the Americans have extinguished all Australian entertainment so we all act like stupid Americans sitting on tiktok and social media so only they are making money 😢
I cant cope with how amazing this is
I was driven out due to mistreatment and general abuse
Audience: *coughs*
Those girls holding razors 0:58 to show self harm 😭
When is this coming to Broadway?
"The smell of life"
The dancer with a "baby bump" at 1:32 on the left & 1:36 at the front 😂😂 Also: "The smell of life. The smell of children" ??! 🤯
My favorite musical! 😂😂😂😂😂
You look just like you did in your bed, except this time you're dead EXCEPT THIS TIME YOU'RE DEADDDD
“Oh Selene, why did you run in the road? It’s Rodney’s fault for leaving the door of the gym open.” (cam pans to Rodney LOL).
“As most of you know, I am no longer teaching here, I was driven out due to mistreatment and general abuse”… This show is too good HAHA
I love this show😱 Mr.g is Hilarious
i lost it when he said rodney left the door open
This show's soundtrack actually claps! I love this!!!
Classic back from the day...
Would love a full length musical of this.
The Americans won't allow it. they've paid the TV stations just stop making this sort of thing so everybody sits on tick tock which makes them money but doesn't actually provide any real quality entertainment. It's incredibly sad that they now run the world
I just realized the dance steps are very similar to what is in Grease. At the end of the movie. Something about high school makes us dance this way.
I laughed so hard at "Something about highscool makes us dance this way."
The Special Ones,The Normal Ones, The Chinese ones as welllll 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Our drama teacher made us call him Mr G
The Special Ones, The Normal Ones, The Chinese Ones as weeellll.. 🤣
"But this time youre dead"
What a legit great show!
Ecstasy! Ecstasy! E! E! E! E! Ecstasy!
This guy was ahead of his time for sure. I remember this show making everyone lol
those two girls actually had really great voices. hope they're doing well.
so funny we need more!!! made me laugh years ago still makes me laugh now 🤣😂
The Americans now run the world through Google and they don't want people laughing with local content they want you paying for American content .
I’ve watched this 4 times already lol
Mr G underrated character
Thank you for posting this!!
Brilliant brilliant and brilliant. I would jump at auditioning for a part in Mr.G the musical - a school fantasy lofl
I'd be alive if I took the advice /dead
and PS Meredith watching has me SHOOK
this masterpiece, yet they've banned grease in high schools!
Brilliant as everyone has said. But I want to mention the closing cutaway shot (external shot of school foyer panning up to night sky).
I actually tear up at that shot and can't fully put my finger on why.

That closing shot feels so poignant somehow. Hope I'm not the only one 😅
The funny thing is Mr. G was kinda right about being wasted on the school - these are great songs lol
Ah this is amazing
That bloody car!
Celineeeeee lol
The whole musical just shits on the dead girl 😂😅😂
High on summer heights high.
so good
fucking hilarious 😂
Oh Celine... Jessica... Celine 😭
ICONIC!
That banner lol
Someone has removed Mr. G the movie, if anyone has a copy, please re post it. Thank you.
I've always felt the 'bad habit' bit was a nod to Anna Wood.
The smell of life, the smell of children
Such a amazing shows like this all gone . I guarantee Google paid the television stations to stop making shows like this so Google can replace quality entertainment with American social media crap
Can this get a west end run in London?
What song are they singing at the start of the video ?
Lean on me by bill withers
