A few really talented actors have a gift of perfectly replicating other people. I know because I've watched Whose Line Is It Anyway, and seen Ryan Stiles impersonate both Carol Channing and John Wayne brilliantly.
I'm pissing myself over the Sir Joh impersonation , absolutely brilliant ! , & yet he was just as funny and stupid in real life! Sir Joh that is LOL ! :)
I stopped watching TV once reality TV took over , seeing this takes me back to the days the whole family would sit around the Tele together for a good old laugh 😂
Jason Delarosa maybe you should think about changing your last name to Delirious, because with a comment like that you actually are or maybe that clip was the only piece of fast forward you’ve ever seen lol
The Sir Joh impersonation was spot on. Perfect!!! Well done. Such a funny voice. I actually remember watching this show. I also remember watching the famous Jana Vendt interview "You're wrong Jana wrong wrong wrong"!!
That will never happen. Too many people would get offended, plus the TV station would have to put some intelligent thought and effort into making a show like that.
Too many nancies complain of being offended about anything, just to they can claim the fame of having a show taken off air as their greatest achievement in life.
I was introduced to Joh and in Flo in 2000. He asked 'were you around in my day son'? I replied 'yes Sir Joh I was a street marcher (protestor)'. Joh almost 90 was slightly shaken. Flo got the joke and smiled broadly.
I worked with Michael for awhile. Despite his brilliance... very humble guy. By an amazing coincidence, I then went on to work with his brother at Ansett head Office.
Well done all round. This taken in context is bloody funny. The bells are ringing & nobodys listening.. ahh daamn, i'm tired of losing cmts so 'no comment'.. Brilliant comedy even Bettina from the audience? had a laugh
I'd forgotten how funny this show was and how it made me laugh. It still does. Great show. Nothing like it on TV now of course. Just surprised it was in my feed today for some reason.
Modern society cannot understand why we oldies prefer to watch this type of classic variety instead of "reality" programmes. They have been brought up on a TV diet of utter crap.
G’day ken, I also think it’s a case of cheap programming. All they need is a concept, which can be easily acquired from o/s, find a bunch of nobodies and there is a show. With luck one or more of the nobodies will become a celebrity and the money will keep rolling in. I’m also sure it’s a generational thing. My parents thought that the shows I liked were shit. My grandmother loved Bell Birds and she had no time for my parents’ tastes.
@@shanewilson398 exactly right, commercial tv can’t compete with UA-cam, Netflix etc etc. a lot of shock value stuff too, big brother, love island, married at first sight. Unfortunately it has bled over into journalism and now it is all about shock value and number of clicks.
So accurate. They really were that bonkers in real life. What was Tony Barber on?? Wait, I know. Jo didn’t want daylight savings in QLD because he said “too much sunlight...fades the curtains!” Bahhhh!
The real reason that Joh didn't want daylight saving was that he thought that the Sun shone out of his backside and he wasn't getting up an hour earlier for anyone.
@@allenjenkins7947 The dumb thing about the "Fading the curtains" thing is, that you are actually not getting any extra sunlight at all. All you are doing is manipulating the clock an hour later, so you can use the summer sunlight when you get home from work, rather than in 5 in the morning, when you are still in bed.
Sir Joe and romper room were the best sketches on fast forward oh yeah and the beautiful fucari rugs With Vizard and Peter moon absolute comedy gold we need this on our TVs these days as every thing in Australia i has gotten too serious and PC bullshit
aaron marcal Don't forget Vizard and Moon's Fast Forward Kung-Fu parody. This comedy wins hands down over scripted and edited so called 'reality' TV any day!
I remember this sketch - it was just as funny as Steve Vizard and his "Celebrity Family Feud" (imitating host Rob Brough) back then. Put the 2 sketches side-by-side and they're equally brilliant. :D
This was when television shows were entertaining and funny like this one,,now we are bombarded with reality shows and cooking shows and nothing worth watching,,,, Fast Forward was a classic!
@raymond daubney I only say it's 'PC' in the sense that this is what gets labeled 'PC' by today's RWNJ's who can dish it out, but get an attack of the vapours when they themselves are the target.
@Aussie Arcade Which was exactly my point. And there's enough material in this comments thread for half a dozen Betoota Advocate pieces about 'anti-PC' whingers with hurt feelings.

@@mikespearwood3914 Watching terrible "comedy" is entertainment in itself, though it only entertains for a couple of minutes. Merely copying someone's mannerisms is not funny - it is lowbrow stuff. True comedy has subtlety. These people are nothing more than mimics, and poor ones at that.
The "morally-superior" woke crowd would be offended and insist that it be cancelled. Even ten years off air was enough for Hey Hey It's Saturday to be unacceptable when it returned temporarily.
My wife was working at Dymocks in the early 2000s and Tony Barbar walked into the shop and said to her "I'm here" and she said uh okay? And he said "I'm Tony Barbar, I'm here for my book signing?" and my wife said OMG I'm so sorry your table is over there it's all set up, anything you need ask us etc. She had no idea who he was, in 2002!
I never realise how much I really, really miss these guys until I go back and watch some old clips. Every time. Every god damned time.
People abandoned Australian television for the internet not realising that it wouldn't be there when they came back
Australia has always been blessed with great satirical comedy. So lucky to have seen so many of the great young talents that emerged in the 1980s.
Indeed We have been blessed with satirical comedy , just look at our entire government. That alone shows we have a sense of humour 😏
They are better than the real people. That's Jo,That's Tony and that's Jana.⚖🇦🇺🙂
To be honest it started going downhill after the D Generation. Nothing held a candle to D Generation.
Political Crapness wasn't a problem back then
So sad everything is now Google and American
I was at Channel Seven as the studio audience. The woman at the right was one of the studio audience.

I worked with Michael for awhile. Despite his brilliance... very humble guy. By an amazing coincidence, I then went on to work with his brother at Ansett head Office.
His sonny hammond from skippy was good
This was a work of pure genius.
His attention to detail is something to behold. It's like he channels JBP's thought processes.
Michael, Marg, Jane, Magda, Steve, Gina and rest of them..... just brilliant.
Suppressed smiles. "Jana" is just holding it in parts of this. Just! 😁
Absolute gold, takes me back to my teen years
Gerry Connolly was always pitch perfect as Joh Bjelke and he did a pretty damn good Bob Hawke as well
Then when they disappeared so did his career……
And the Queen too
And a very good impression of sleepy Joe Biden.
I have a feeling one other. Thinking…John cain?
He also did a very good King CHarles and Queen LIz
I so forgot about this. I was laughing like crazy all over again. Thanks for making this old persons life.
What a crack up, hilarious! Haven’t laughed so much in ages, thank you!
Marg Downey you're a gem!!
I remember this like it was yesterday..............
How sad is it that I remember it soo clearly...
Brilliant. That original interview on Fast forward was hilarious, almost as funny as the real interview between Jana and Joh
Bloody Brilliant! Those were the days! Superbo acting!!!!! REALLY superb. Much Well appreciated.
Faark!! how funny was fast forward?
Sir Joh down pat 😂😂😂
People wee so open & themselves . Hilarious Australian comedians. Just Gold. Live the oldies.

Pitty we don't have Comedy Shows and Comedians like this anymore. Could do with a good laugh at the moment.
This hilarious Sale Of The Century send-up on Fast Forward was made a decade after the Sale Of The Week skit on The Paul Hogan Show.
Great moments, new Australians here now wouldn't have a clue what they're watching
i just hurt my stomach from laughing, havent seen it for ages
Used to love this. Recorded a lot of them but long gone. Pilled up and on one, it was funny as fk
Michael Veitch ha performed a scathingly brilliant parody of Tony Barber.
Agreed.
And I think Glenn Ridge was hosting Sale by this point.
Has me in fits of laughter
@@stupendous1068 No Tony Barber saw out the 80s.
@@Electricshrock I'm sure this was the 90s. Glenn Ridge was hosting the show by then.

Simply brilliant comedy and Sir Joe...saw him do a comedy show in Cairns and was just brilliant!!!
