these guys are very clever political satirists who've just shown up the
australian governments much vaunted security measures for the apec conference.
letting a group of vehicles through disguised as the canadian contingent. with
one of the guys dressed up as osama bin laden...in america they probably would
have been carted off to guantanamo bay. at least our policitians had a bit of
a laugh about it....althought so much for their security!! great show and
worth watching some classy australian comedy.

agreed vlashe, i wish someone would upload summer heights high here. it just
premiered on australian tv this week and is an awesomely funny mockumentary in
the style of the office about an australian high school

heh, someone should start putting up the old eps of air farce, the canadian
show that these guys got the idea for the show from.

the chaser team has been around since 1999, they started as a newspaper but are
largely known for their tv shows on the abc. traditionally they have had
different types of shows.

i don't think the chaser have heard of air farce as canadian television is not
particularly well known here. trailer park boys is a cult favourite here but it
doesn't have mainstream popularity.

sure, the show is funny, but it's not satire. "the election chasers" was satire,
this is just a prank show where politicians are the sometimes-prat.

this show is really funny. you should also check out the previous series 'we can
be heros'. i highly recommend this show!

i have to say i don't find these guy's particularly clever. sometimes funny,
but not exactly clever; like how watching a cartoon character get hit over the
head with an anvil can sometimes be funny but it's hardly clever and it's
certainly not original.

i think of these guys as the jackass of political satire.

i'm looking forward to the new 'season' of the chasers. it's the only half-
decent thing coming from that criminal colony, australia!

the politicians have shown good humour towards the chasers throughout the series.
i doubt that the american snipers would have done the same if they saw osama
getting close to the president. if one of the chasers got shot everyone would
blame the americans. the show is good, but that stunt was potential suicide.
