Bargearse

Agree with the other reviewers that this is rapid fire toilet humor at its finest. The overdubbing is very clever. The scene where Bargeargse is waiting in line for McDonalds is classic.

It makes me sad they only offer this on PAL tape, as if they had DVD I could use a region free software player to watch it.

I think Bargearse ranks high in my heart because it was so short and sweet, and left you wanting more. I don't think they could have sustained the comedic intensity for longer than they did.

If you have access to this tape, you should watch it, I promise you will laugh your ass off.

The Late Show was responsible for many great comedy moments, but Bargearse has to stand tall as their greatest feat before Frontline. While epitomising low brow humour, the fart jokes and toilet humour present here left me in stitches for the entire duration of the film, and the only criticism that can be levelled at it is it is just too short, although it must be said that these types of jokes are only funny for so long, and it would be better to leave the audience wishing for more rather than wishing it was over.

The movie itself is cut and paste footage from the 70's cop show Bluey, overdubbed by the Late Show crew and turned into a cop drama and the obese and eternally hungry Sergeant Bargearse and his sidekicks Glenn Twenty and Anne Bourke. The jokes come thick and fast, and always at a base level, from the famous Dutch oven to the sagas of the missing fries, chinese takeaway and missing supplies of exotic chocolate. From start to finish this is hilarious, not one joke falls flat on its face, and you'll need to watch it several times over just to get all the jokes in there, as the rapid pace ensures you'll miss a few jokes here and there while still laughing at the previous scene. A great comedy, don't take it too seriously and you'll definitely love it.

Well, never have I laughed so hard at a TV show before. The Late Show have done it again, and voiced over a show so convincingly, you forget that they're not actually saying what you hear.

Well, I'm off to get a s*&t load of dim sims now, and a bucket of soy sauce with that...

A masterpiece. Champagne comedy at it's best. Bargie will steal your heart with his wise-cracking, tear-jerking, thigh-slapping one-liners. Definitely a cult classic.

I can't believe this has an average rating of only 5.7 out of 10. It's hilarious. Perhaps the people that have given it low ratings are fans of Bluey, the 70s series that the footage is from, and are offended by it. Or perhaps they just don't get it, which isn't really possible since there's nothing to get. The Olden Days, The Late Show's other overdubbed 'series', is slightly funnier. It's pretty clever that Santo Cilauro and Tony Martin have actually been able to write dialogue that's relevant to what's on the screen. Or maybe it was really easy, I don't know. Either way it's really funny.
