Just seen the first episode of this seasons chasers war on everything, hope everyone can hear their parody of the Qantas adverts involving the choir....
simply brilliant, and sadly hits the nail on the head!

Hopefully it'll turn up on youtube soon so that the link can be posted here.
It demonstrates the disgusting hypocrisy that surrounds the myth of, "the flying Kangaroo".

It appears to have been censored from the ABC / Chasers "Vodcast".
Hopefully they will post it later.

I bet that if Darth or one of his side kicks saw it they would have been on the phone within seconds.On that basis alone it was brilliant and I hope it finds it's way onto you tube .
The bit about borrowing a car from ME was very clever as well !!!

Absoluet classic - but QF legal must have jumped on it, given it's the one bit of the show axed from the online version. Hopefully someone uploads to You Tube...

ABC radio played it again this afternoon on James Valentine's show.
It'll be repeated after lateline on Friday night.
Hopefully someone has a 12 year old at home that can record it and post it on YOUTUBE for all to see.........

Given that its an opinion piece, what would have QF legal have had against it?
Was it slanderous? a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report:
Spot on and funny to boot I would have thought.

Geeez I like that video. I really hope Qantas does go out and try to take some action against the chaser but fail. It will just make Dickson and the rest look even worse.

'The Chaser' Very Very funny guys, with that kind of comedy on Aunty the commercial dupes dont have a chance of geting me to watch their imported drivel.

I've been to cities that never close down. From New York to Rio and old London Town. But no matter how far our offshore jobs go. The share price is sure to grow. Goodbye Australia, we're moving abroad. Replacing Neil Perry with a chef from Lahore. And the inflight entertainment will be in Mandarin. More kung foo and less Kath n Kim. All the Qantas workers fearful for their jobs. Please head to the Centrelink lines. 'cause after the takeover you're over. Now only foreign girls can shag Ray Feines. And someday this choir will be outsourced too. And Qantas will be called the Asian Kangaroo. And I'll thank the cheap labor when our profits have grown. I still call Australia I still call Australia I still call Australia..... 51 percent home. That.... is absolutely brilliant stuff!!!!!!!!!! Maybe the unions can use this?

Forward the youtube link to your contacts as this is a great way to highlight the other side of the argument. The "sell off"/"sell out" does not need to happen despite what Peter Harbison may think.

The complete episodes, (almost) can be downloaded from the ABC website.... Last weeks episode... (WMV format and MP4) http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/tv/chaser/war/vodcast/chaser_2007_ep02.wmv http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/tv/chaser/war/vodcast/chaser_2007_ep02.mp4 Check this page for links. http://www.abc.net.au/tv/chaser/war/vodcast/ Unfortunately and strangely last weeks episode, (first of the season) is missing the Qantas advert! Could the Qantas heavies have had it pulled?

Not all that is on chaser is funny however their version of the Qantas ad was a ripper .
Not only that but it's timing with only 14 days to go for the takeover bid was excellent .

Moronic??? Attempt at comedy? oh. poor tinpis. Does The Chaser offend you??? Mission accomplished if it does. You are the very people that they target. Good to have you round for the entertainment of the rest of us!

"Moronic under graduate attempt at comedy"
and a very successful one at that, IMHO!

Ah tinny, gotta disagree with you on that! Under-graduate humour would be fart jokes. This is cutting edge satire, for the younger generation! May be considered under graduate humour to the old gits who aren't used to this crude style!

Good to see Dicko is still in the Capital doing what he does best ie
"selling ice to Eskimo's"
In this case renegotiating the Defence contract for almost a lazy billion.
kkkkkk...-------chiiing!!!!
No wonder APA want to get their hands on this action.
"Money for Jam"
However, .....timing not great. How does one put a negative spin on this ???????

Moronic under graduate attempt at comedy
LOL!! This is so good because part of the comedy is that people like you will respond! bwah lol! Its even funnier than if you said its funny! Mate if you want Moronic Comedy go to channel 10 with idiot Rove or the other comedy sketch show on 7 or 9 I cant remember, all the same, So good so far!
I cant respond except that this is gold pure gold! The rodents are drawn out! And by the way don't eat my cheese because I reserved it for virgin....
One more laugh because it really is funny! haha!

He probably thinks Rove IS funny.... Watch the latest episode..... Wilson Tuckeys reaction to the bloke dressed up as Brian Bourke..... THATS the sort of people who don't find the chaser funny. Over-paid, under-worked parasites!

I Love the chaser, and I particularly loved this one
BUT
Neil Perry & Kath and Kim - can't stand either.
You could replace each of these with almost anything else and it would be an improvement.

I thought the West Coast Eagles players handled that 'situation' at the airport very well. Some of the team must have been tempted to rip that eagles head off.
Agree with others about the commercial networks version of comedy.:yuk:

And what about the blind taxi driver?? _ can you believe some people fell for it??
It was the first episode of chaser I have watched and it was very funny.
It tickled my sense of humour.

The Chasers Send-up..more sad than funny. If QF flew to anywhere near the destinations suggested in the real ad it might have a future, but it doesn't. The Airline has been systematically destroyed since the advent of James Strong. Neil Perry won't be missed, he was a disaster to start with. Cheap, nasty, common food. Beef, chicken, fish or pasta, in First class. The stuff he has produced is inferior to what QF used to serve in Economy before the bow-tied one. QF is now just another airline, heading down the same path as all the failed American airlines. The problem is not with it's employees, it is with management. They simply do not care what is happening.
Sorry, just another rant.

Sorry to put a dent in a good conspiracy theory but...
I think you'll find the Qantas clip wasn't available on iTunes for reasons far less scandalous than a QF management sense of humour failure. It contains copyright material which the ABC may use for satirical purposes but not for profit. Also the "Ad roadtests" which include the original ads. The ABC legal department spends more time scutinising the Chaser than any single other programme.

tropical chief...I could not agree more especially in regards to our current chef de cuisine.
Serving chicken pie is hardly a feat of culinary triumph.I remember the old days when we used real eggs for breakfast scramble eggs not to mention oysters,caviar etc...for lunch and dinner.
A joke doing the rounds at the moment is the definition of 'noveau cuisine" as "i can't believe I have just paid that much for so little and ordinary food"
