The loss of this dear man was such a blindside that no-one speaks about him here. Or is it just me? How can it be that it actually physically feels like a beloved family member died even now? I know that what I feel right now in February 2021 , after this clip inexplicably appeared atop my UA-cam feed and that I actually watched, is palpable grief. No one else articulated the madness/absurdity of this world like these two. Diffused it. Served it up cold. What a pairing. Never again. No more words.
They were the stark, unvarnished mirror of absurdist truth. Not surprised our elected dealers (leaders?) are mute. Occasional mentions from on-air journos aside, they're ours to remember.
@@beesplaining1882 not to just reply heaps later and take the fun out of clarke and dawe. I love these guys and I have been big fan of them since 2012. I was so sad when clarke passed away. But can you explain what you thought bill shorten was going to do when he got into government. Like what was the fear everyone had about him. I think i know what everyone was scared about but i want to know what you think and if you think the same thing now. Cheers
@@timothyhawken9266 my comment was frivolous and not too considered. I actually voted for Labor. Why? For their policies and because of the damage done by conservative governments over the years. Morrison has continued the run of damage and incompetence.
So glad we can re-live these gems via this YT channel! There may not be any new ones, but they never get old. JC does a heroic job of keeping a straight face. Only the twinkling eyes and occasional hint of a curl at the edge of the mouth gives away that he know just how funny these sketches are. And Brian is the perfect straight man.
It's gold. Shame we'll get no more. These two were clever together but Mr Clarke's broader comedy is a testament to his individual wit and writing genius. Going to spend my morning going over some of the old and gold while I digest it. RIP Mr Clarke.
These are satirists? They've given the most accurate summary of what's been going clearly and concisely. That's a tribute to their supreme talent but also a nod to how far up 💩 creek we are🇬🇧🇦🇺👍
I think this was one of my all time favourites; I couldn't stop laughing when it was on the ABC TV had to watch it on youtube to make sure I got the words correct
How come I get a better break down of the situation here in the UK by watching Australian Comedians taking the micheal out of their own government, than by watching the BBC?
It's a sad reflection on the state of modern media that satire like this, The Daily Show & The Onion as well as others often have better analysis of events than "real" news organisations
Brilliant! I believe some people have missed the joke, at least as I interpreted it. Sometimes the British have been slow to recognize and accept that the problems which exist in other countries also exist in GB. Even if they do they are quick to blame it on inferior outside influences which have deceived the good people of this scepter'd isle.
Recently discovered these two. Pure comedy class. (Unusual for Aussie comedy). I lived there decades ago, most comedy then imported from UK. Shame there'll be no new material .
Yo 2022, we warned you. Here we are, and you were so blinded by racism that you chose your hatred of others over our future. Hope you’re all enjoying it.. regards, a remainer.
This show was a cherished part of Australian history that we could never hope to replicate, RIP JC
He was a great New Zealander!!
Well, it was until the front fell off, by all means.
Agreed!
Not making a comparison, but just want to mention Roy and HG.
Clark and Dawe is the only education I have about Australian politics.
ua-cam.com/users/friendlyjordies
I learned everything I know about it from the Chaser
(but that was last decade)
Although it is satire it is enjoyed so much here in Australia because it's all true
Leo Staley. Best education you’ll get on Australian politics!
It's probably the only education you need. Right on the mark.
What happened to Britain? The front fell off, and then it was towed beyond the environment.
May God save the Queen ahh umm, God May save the Queen- no that doesn't sound right (wing). May will save the Queen!
Or, in the words of the Sex Pistols. "The fascist regime that made you a moron."
haha superb comment
Mate you got me there. Brilliant comment.

Wonderful pairing. Profoundly sad.
John Clarke was an absolute genius. A true one off and a credit to both NZ and Australia.
I’ve just found out about these two and it’s sad to hear he passed, such a shame.

This is a bit bleak. I think your projecting a little bit. It's a good comedy skit but there are many still doing similar things.
"The Scot(t) problem"
Amazing. AMAZING
Well well
We narrowly avoided a Bill problem and we now suffer from the Scott problem.

The Scott problem has really grown in the last 5 years and needs to be dealt with quickly for the sake of Australia.
What is the Scott problem?
Scot problem has been solved
@@vintagev6098 The Scott problem has been solved but Scott's problems are about to start surfacing if this ICAC thing kicks into gear.
@@vintagev6098 yeeehaw
If Australia ever becomes a republic then votes in a 3rd party I will literally cum in my pants

vale John Clarke, an extraordinarily gifted comedian
"The Scott Problem". What an excellent way to describe Morrison.
'Edward Longshanks has entered the chat'
And what a problem he's proven to be.
I'm sure there is another video out there addressing the Barnaby problem.
Not to be confused with the scots of Scotland problem
As bad as Morrison was, I think Australia is now in DEEP doggie do-dos with Albo. (June 2022)
@@Chris-hx3om What a load of nonsense.
OMG 2021 and it still holds so true ....miss your comments John Clarke 😥 RIP mate
RIP.
thanks for the decades of entertaining memories
If someone who had no clue who these guys were just stumbled upon this, they might actually believe they are true and current politicians.
They did speak the truth on current affairs.
There much too bright and actuly know whats happening, not like a politician
This was three years ago. Thank god it couldn’t happen this year.
These two are comedy gold, such a tragic loss to the entertainment industry
Big thanks to Clarke and Dawe for political satire that makes sense of the crazy world we all have to deal with and makes us laugh
Looks like the Scot(t) problem has since intensified.
I miss Clarke and Dawe. Life is poorer without them.
Yep, it's a good thing it couldn't happen here.
If I had a penny for every time this has happened while talking to Australian friends about Chilean politics I'd be able to buy an ice-cream.
Dammit, now I want an ice cream.
As always, Clarke and Dawe on point. Love these guys :P
John Clarke was a national treasure.
These two were a couple of the CLEVEREST Political commentators you will EVER see Anywhere , Anytime .
I think this was one of my all time favourites; I couldn't stop laughing when it was on the ABC TV had to watch it on youtube to make sure I got the words correct
This is one of their best. :D
Still relevant in 2019.
How come I get a better break down of the situation here in the UK by watching Australian Comedians taking the micheal out of their own government, than by watching the BBC?
One Kiwi and one Aussie satirist. Either way, they are very very good, and spot on all the time.
Eric Wolff I stand corrected :) & yes, they are pretty dam awesome in my opinion :D
He doesn't have a strong Kiwi accent, so it's an understandable mistake.
p00ky76 watch Sunday politics
It's a sad reflection on the state of modern media that satire like this, The Daily Show & The Onion as well as others often have better analysis of events than "real" news organisations
this one is so good, sooo good !!!
I will never forget these wonderful guys.
Very funny skit and sad to hear that J C passed at a relatively young age. Thanks for the laughs and insight into what's really going on John.
Comic genius ,the Way they bounced off each other is rarely matched
I wish they were around for this week in Canberra 2nd week on November 2020 .
Just remember at one point their Home Secretary was Rudd and Shadow Home Secretary was Abbott.
Damn. I've just watched true genius. Absolute brilliance.
Genius. Thank you. Crying with laughter
John Clarke was a legend.....Gone too soon.
I LOVE these guys - they really do understand what happened in the UK. It's good to know that our Aussie cousins have been going through the same!
Love these two and still relevant regardless!
Absolutely beautiful
4:36 am in nw England sat laughing at this
Brilliant stuff. I'm gonna miss these guys.
Beautiful... ;)
Still the same today in politics!!
This was just brilliant.
"He's taken an absolute toweling!"
It doesn't always rain here, as it happened it did yesterday, but we had a dry day last week. The Scott problem brilliant.
very good -- you have to know the politics of 2 nations. excellent
The rare moment when Clarke is the straight man.
You forget how brilliant Clarke and Dawe were.
It's still so good ❤
yep. fucken nailed it again boys.
God I miss him.
phenomenal
love that Brian had a chance to be the funny guy!
Doesn't this also work perfectly for US politics from back then?
Just wonderful!
The twinkle in his eye!
At least we have beaches.
with 300 tons of burning oil and a ship where the front fell off.
At least they keep the riff raff away!
+DC240Z don't worry. It's been towed outside of the environment.
It's been so long since I first heard that one - and it's still as funny as hell. "The front fell off."
the UK has incredible beaches
Absolutely fantastic!
Brilliant, as always. Their timing is perfect, too. What's Brian doing nowadays?
Brilliant! I believe some people have missed the joke, at least as I interpreted it. Sometimes the British have been slow to recognize and accept that the problems which exist in other countries also exist in GB. Even if they do they are quick to blame it on inferior outside influences which have deceived the good people of this scepter'd isle.

Gold pure gold.
The best comedy is laced with the truth
Why does this get better than my wine?
This was really funny! In Britain, specifically.
It's like watching 'Dr. Strangelove' in color...:-). Love from 'Murica.
Just had a federal election in Canada, with 3 years left in the governing party's term and yep they could have been discussing Canada too !
When he said the "Scott problem", I thought he was going to comeback with the classic: "Scott me fucked what's going on ...".
LOL! OMFG! That was hysterical!!
Can anyone tell me what the “Scott problem” is?
I don’t know anything about Australian politics.
Google him..Scott Morrison.
YT won't allow the words to describe this rsole.
this is so Brilliant .
Brillant!
This could well have been dated 22nd August, 2018!
Recently discovered these two. Pure comedy class. (Unusual for Aussie comedy). I lived there decades ago, most comedy then imported from UK. Shame there'll be no new material .
Love them
I can't remember if they're referring to rudd or abbott, plenty of backstabs & infighting across the board
Man what a duo
So the same issues in Aus, the UK, America and the whole western world? You'd almost think they are trying to orchestrate something...
It's almost as if reaganomics and career politicians from wealthy backgrounds are detremental. Hmm...
"THEY"! THE HORROR!
+Epic Synthesia I assume your asking the "who is 'they'?" question or did I miss interpret?
Unfortunately we scott another problem now.
Just brilliant
The closed captions are well off here, they put an entirley different spin on whats being said! They should be corrected or removed.
Genius then...and still is.
Brilliant!
“The Scott Problem.”
Yep.
Yo 2022, we warned you. Here we are, and you were so blinded by racism that you chose your hatred of others over our future. Hope you’re all enjoying it.. regards, a remainer.
brilliant!!
Brilliant . Maybe one of their last sketches together . Shame it wasn't one of the subject matter that died . Those bastards live on for eons .
Who's on first?
Yes.
You're right that would be the matter of a fact.
I love these guys. 😂😂😂
"mistake" of leaning on democracy and letting the people decide. Nice one Clarke and Daw.
"thanks for your time tonight"
"What's that then?"
It's a good thing for all those who voted labour will now have.the Albanese problem
Prescient! 'nuff said!
The Scot problem. Miss you Fred.
John would have seen through the BS covid narrative for sure. R.I.P. dear sage
Brilliantly done 😂
I hear this brilliant show doesn't exist anymore. But worry not, mates, you got juicemedia to grace the world with.
