Omg I remember when this came out in 1993 my mum played midweek ladies and some of it was so relatable with the tennis cakes from the shop and the bitchiness heehe
Great piece of satire here based on the early '90s Federal Labor Party leadership..."tensions". Jane Turner = Bob Hawke. Gina Riley = Paul Keating. Magda Szubanski = Labor powerbroker Graham Richardson.
I was curious if this was a parody of something. As a British fan of Gina, Jane, and Magda the Aussie political humour from some of their sketch work is lost on me. Still a funny skit though.
This is a parody of Labors Bob Hawke and Paul Keating spat I think where’s Bob supposedly promised to step down as PM and let Keating take over them reneged on it leading to the challenges.
I'm going through a ton of older stuff these ladies did and there's not an insignificant amount of political commentary. I love it. I find the Liberal Ladies Lunch to be especially hilarious. I'm from the U.S., but it seems so accurate from what I've learned about the Liberal party. It's funny that people are "shocked" Magda is left leaning as if there weren't signs in the comedy 30 years ago.
No it’s Labor actually…. Labor have had far more splits and divisions in its his than Liberals. The socialist left is always trying to stab the right wing in the back and visa versa. And it’s actually a send up of Bob Hawke and Paul Keating.
Much like watching the Irish people sit back like docile sheep while their government commits to bringing 200,000 into a country so small. But can’t find housing for their own poor people.
Genius writing & acting. No one comes close to these women for comedy
this gives you an idea on just how versatile these actresses are they could easily
do straight acting as well as being really funny
Re-watching Kath and Kim on Netflix so trawled through clips to see what else the ladies had done.Some comedy gold here!
So clever. Great parody of Paul Keating and Bob Hawke.
And nearly every kind of club, commitee and parliamentary sitting in Australia.
I absolutely love this trio of legends.
How am I just seeing this? The essence of Kath, Kim and Sharon!!!
Big Girls Blouse was the best. It’s where Kath amd Kim started. It was a skit called Kim’s wedding.
Look up brides of Satan. Hilarious
@@michaele7880 What a gift! Thank you for the recommendation, Michael!
This was the OG!! Keep watching - Big Girls Blouse is AMAZING

I think the comedy of these women surpasses most of what their male colleagues created
Love it!
