I use to love Hale and Pace, I can't believe I had forgotten about them until I saw this clip. So much good humour/comedy has gone in the world now, not like when we had, Dave allen, Frank spencer, Fawlty towers, Hale and pace, and so many other great comedy shows. Now it's all crap.
@A smoking ChickenFish used to be a fair dinkum solid as down to earth laid back care free spirit about Australia - it was the lucky country - something to be both proud and envious of - things in general were cheap - beer was cheap, meat was cheap, consumer goods were cheap - less restrictions in general - now it's expensive, uptight, borderline edgy and unsure esp Victoria
Probably showing why British men in their 30s are complete dotards... we watched this when we were kids. In the comedians defence. It is the single finest open prison on earth. Shame the women are frigid.
I worked for Tooths/Resches, Fabulous job (until the F$@#ing greedy unions stuffed it) then CUB took over and believe me they do NOT make beer. I was there for 8 years as an electrical technician and my wife was the Senior Microbiologist. It is utter pigs urine. Once CUB took over they changed EVERYTHING. Basic brew with a ship load of chemicals put in it. Crown Lager is just Fosters in what we used to call the Hollywood Bottle. FACT. Great marketing idea though. Was the only way to get people to drink Fosters. Sucked in idiots. Melbourne Bitter is VB with a teaspoon of caramel in it to change the colour and VB has 37 chemicals in it. ANYTHING that comes from those cretins should be illegal to call it beer. Same as that bulls balls sweat Corona. OMG why do people drink that pus?@@MrSquigeon
Born and bred in Perth.Now everytime I say 'Perth' ill want to do it with a retching demeanor with an equally sozzled look on my face.( i probably wont but itll be hard to resist) Cheers 🍺🍻🍷🍸🍹😂
Who cares what she looks like now???? Back then she was stunning....!! Some stupid unnecessary remarks.... Sad fuckers....just enjoy the clip ffs n admire the bird u miserable sad wankers
Funniest thing is that he would fit right in at a true country Aussie pub 😂 nothing like a bit of drunken banter! We’d probably be more than happy to give it right back 😁
I remember waiting to cross a road in Melbourne and someone shouting at me "Fucking Pome!" Happy days. Felt so welcome. The only person I really got in woth was Maowri. She also knew Australians were just pretend Americans.
This video is 15 years old. A long forgotten Australia. You can’t afford to buy a beer in a pub now, if you an even find a decent one. Sad, but Australia is the ultimate nanny state now.
Not what it used to be. You gotta get the pronouns right, gotta not upset the snowflakes and basically bend over and cop it from the indigenous. As for cricket, Id rather set fire to my ha9r than watch that astoundingly boring garbage.
How unusual, a drunk pom making a fuckwit of himself in an Aussie pub. That hardly ever happens down here... (Gareth Hale and Mervin Hughes in the same clip... a good dose of nostalgia in this one! Cheers!)
Not so kind, i was walking down Elizabeth street 3 hours after arriving and got offered out 3 times in 5 minutes by 3 drunks. It was only 5 o'clock in the afternoon
Nah. Have you ever seen an Australian drink Fosters? It's a marketing cliche, but I never saw, or knew anyone to drink it. The sketch had zero cred when it started.
The best beers and lagers are from Tasmania , Boags or Cascade . Its the water ! Personally Carona , Fosters or Victoria Bitter tastes like dishwater and I wouldn't drink it if it were free . Best Aussie beer ever ; Cascade First Harvest . $90 a carton .
It's unfortunate now that we can watch them and they don't make any money! I'd buy the whole DVD collection now if i could. And had something to play them on.
Hale and Pace were huge in Australia. I was a kid and absolutely loved this, Full Frontal/Fast Forward, and Married with Children.
Here here!!
Married with children was amazing. The uproar it would cause if released today would be hysterical.
Great comedy before the world went woke
All top notch
Holy trinity right there m8
“Its one of the most luxurious open prisons i’ve ever seen” this one fucking killed me 😭
Very true as Australia is now like an open air prison with the dictatorship going on.
@@lepolhart3242 Oh yes!

Every Sunday before bed, as a kid I loved these two
Love the barmaid "nice jugs" 😂😂😂😂
This man played the best dunk ever
yeah and a good dRunk too
Nah, Dunk from 'Crocodile Dundee' was the best Dunk.
Look up Foster Brooks……he’s no1

First went to Sydney in 1991 wow ,what a party .Went back in 2006 , didn't recognise the place.
Never knew Merv was such a fine actor. ...and why is Google recommending this in 2020?

They just don't make comedy like this anymore...
So true
They do but it's not shown on Australian tv we have too many soft cry baby people these days who would find this offensive.
Used to enjoy Hale and Pace, first time seeing this skit bloody funny and I'm an Aussie incase you wondered.
Used to? What is your comment even about mate
Fuckin Australia 🇦🇺
gday mate
Brisbane women are well stacked is true LOL
I wasn't wondering and no gives a shit
Love the way old Merve holds him by the throat… then gives him a kiss!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌

christ that barmaid is fit
Her and I would get it on.
Chicks like her don't exist now. In her place are skinnier less toned and very tatted up slappers with more botox than your average plastic bag.
Some of those looks and smiles she gives him
Who cares what she looks like now????
Back then she was stunning....!!
Some stupid unnecessary remarks....
Sad fuckers....just enjoy the clip ffs n admire the bird u miserable sad wankers
Kimberly Davies....did a stint in Neighbours too.
I thought this was my dad for a second ... He is this guy's twin and could have shown him around town 😂😂 🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺
Brilliant drunk acting by Gareth Hale.
I'm sure there was no acting required!!!
This is a great demo reel for Hale's ability to play different stages of drunkeness. 🍻
As a professional alcoholic who enjoys steel reserve, I'd say this fellow was actually getting a bit of a buzz while doing this skit, haha.
@Slimy Hotdog kudos
Love Gareth playing the drunk that barmaid gets around lol

But you wouldnt have a pretty bartender at an Aussie pub.
@@pflaffik City pub you 100% would, country pub it would be a roll of the dice.

This is true I was born here but have both passports its a nonce land now
Loved this show, miss the good old days.
My right ear enjoyed this!
Hahahahaha!! 🤣 mine did too!!
HAAA! 😂👌
It just makes me wanna have a cold beer watching this
The music cracks me up as well
One thing in this world is I love the Aussies and there sense of humour and especially the camaraderie with the cricket and rugby
“ Camaraderie “ ? Think that’s gone out the window, cricket especially...🤦♂️😂😂
Not what it used to be. You gotta get the pronouns right, gotta not upset the snowflakes and basically bend over and cop it from the indigenous. As for cricket, Id rather set fire to my ha9r than watch that astoundingly boring garbage.
Please come back hale n pace …there must be loads of sketches to create the state this country is in …enough for 10 series .
Is this what Australia used to be. Wow
Get out of the cities and it's not that far off this.
I wouldn't be surprised if the inspiration for this character was Oliver Reed.
Fun fact. Merv had drank twice as many beers as him that day.
😂😂😂😂😂Thanks for the laughs, I had forgotten stuff like this...
I love Hale & Pace.
Just gotta love these guys ....Bloody hilarious LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
He plays a brilliant drunk .
He makes a convincing drunk, huh?
"Method acting" 😉
@@edinscot56789 Bloody good acting when an actor can nail down being drunk, properly : )
Either in sobriety or inebriation. However, Richard E. Grant's Penrith Tea Rooms performance is particularly incredible as he's allergic to alcahol.
He probably was drunk in them days lol
@@Kelly14UK aint hard if uve had practice hehe
English and Irish people when they go on holidays “sightseeing”
i love Hale and Pace, i'm sure they never get on TV in todays world
There in benidorm last season but not funny
I'm glad that he finally decided to drink from the tap.
This character's a cross between Keith Floyd, Alan Whicker and David Frost.
with a dash of Jeremy Clarkson
Merv Hughes at the end lol
That barmaid gets around !
Has no one noticed the Hot Blonde Bar Maid? I have to say for 1990's Standards she is way ahead of her time!
WTF? So all women were unattractive before the millennium?
@@32446 I'm saying attractive Women did not look like that in the 90's.
My right ear loved this
Hysterical & Hilarious! I love that kiss of death at the end. Love from Toronto. 🥰
That was from Merv Hughes. One of our biggest cricketers
That barmaid. Tidy. Wonder what she looks like now.
lol, I was just wondering that. Fucking hottie, back then, that's for sure!
Long dead mate
@@captainroger if thats true its a damn shame.

Donna Gubbay. Still alive
"Australians wouldn't give a castlemaine XXXX for anything else!"
To be honest I prefer it too.

Because they can't spell beer - an oldie lol

By 2:10 i had to get drunk myself to understand this fella. Btw Ricky Gervais stole this guy's laugh
That’s one hot barmaid
Ultra sore ribs from laughing thanks for the memories 👍
Masterpiece.
Best travelguide ever
I love comedy where I know what the joke is going to be 20 seconds in and it goes on and on with exactly what I expected.
Bruuuuuuh, he decked him with a kiss on the forehead!!!!! 😂
Merv Hughes!!
Shit, I haven't watched these guys in years. I forgot just how funny this show was.
They did a farewell tour of Australia about 5 years ago and were brilliant.
Ironically Australian people are very kind.
Not so kind, i was walking down Elizabeth street 3 hours after arriving and got offered out 3 times in 5 minutes by 3 drunks. It was only 5 o'clock in the afternoon
They're a bunch of knobs
@@lewis8890probably poms on holiday
I like the attention to detail with each city's (more or less) signature beer in each of the pubs, haha.
Nah. Have you ever seen an Australian drink Fosters? It's a marketing cliche, but I never saw, or knew anyone to drink it.

Merv Hughes at the end. With one of his kisses.
I thought that was Merv. I liked his bowling. Was he fast/medium?
The bartenders shirt and brand of beer are the only thing that changes.
we call them barmaids and barman, although there is a pc move on to call them bartenders Awful
I haven't seen Hale & Pace since i was a kid🤣
It also has some great pubs lol
As only Hale and Pace could do.
They were great...remember hale and pace sooo funny....and i drank from the jug in brisbane in the early 80s and didnt get bounced😂😂
he's exactly like my uncle when drunk xD
In Paris, there are some superb Aussie pubs, where you can enjoy Foster's delights, and even more. Cheers!
Probably all shisha bars by now.
There's an authenticity to his p1ssheadedness
Really good drunk acting
It's a tour de force.
my right ear enjoyed this
I liked the 100 metre sprint introduction as well.
As an Australian, I can confirm Perth is when sick resembles a city.
swan gold my first beer at 8.. noiiice
Canned beer in a bar? That's not right surely.
Ex barman. Draught or bottles were class. Canned beer was a thing for last orders carry outs.
Take it as it comes.
Aussie.
@@glennllewellyn7369 Take it easy, baby, Take it as it comes. The Doors.
Rick C. He was drinking canned beer to represent the beer from that city he was drinking in 👍🍺
Trust me You rather a can over the head than the back of a bottle .....And dont call me surely !
Southwark Premium. What a brew that was
Sheep!! nothing to do with farming, it's a pastime 😂😂
Alekisanita Loloa What does he say? Is it sheep jivving? I couldn’t make out the verb lol.
@@walkerd2997 Sheep dipping.
He screwed up there, I think Gareth was referring to New Zealand.
@@walkerd2997 I think it's an extremely slurred "keeping". Makes sense.
Haven’t seen this one. Seen the Spain one but not the Aussie one. I have to watch the DVD box set that l’ve had on my shelf for around 4 years.
Amazing!!! Thanks for posting, have you got the rest of the programme?? Great to see this again!
Lol. Memories...
The spunk of a barmaid!
Even here in the UK, peope who really like their lager hate Fosters! Largers from Europe are much nicer!
I agree Fosters is like drinking water
No one drinks Foster's in Australia we drink VB, Carlton draught,xxxx,ect
The best beers and lagers are from Tasmania , Boags or Cascade . Its the water !
Personally Carona , Fosters or Victoria Bitter tastes like dishwater and I wouldn't drink it if it were free .
Best Aussie beer ever ; Cascade First Harvest . $90 a carton .
A generation of teenage Poms drank Fosters, due to the Barry McKenzie movie.
Happy days !
Till This Day I think you’ll find all Guinness we drink is brewed in Dublin.
Have you met donk ?
Big Merv - legend😂
🤩 ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Barmaid is Donna Gubbay.
Brilliant 😁
yeap thats australia mate
Was this actually filmed in Australia?
She's hotter than the sun
They do have draught beer as well down there.

Our beer is alright. Some are good. Some are shit. Like most other places on earth.
Agree with VB though. That is shite.
Loved it when just kissed him instead of thumping him. Mercy from the big guy there.
