The Chaser Lads May Not Be The Masters Of Surprise Comedy We Once Thought They Were

3:26PM Jess McGuire | It’s good to see Today Tonight continuing to focus their piercing insights on the “big issues”. Their latest victim legitimate targets are the ABC wunderkinds from The Chaser, who it seems stage some of their “surprise” stunts for the sake of legality and kindness. Apparently in reprisal for The Chaser’s regular attacks on tabloid television, Today Tonight last night claimed that the stunts in which they invaded a real estate agent’s open house, romped naked in a bedding store, heckled at the opera (”Vivaldi is a wanker”) and pretended a dog was a doctor were pre-arranged with the supposedly shocked victims. Chas Licciardello confessed: “I’ll tell you the truth about the set-ups. We actually do do set-ups every now and then … We are not allowed to do anything illegal on the show. You and all your viewers can take this message: We are not as big a c—s as we might seem. If that dilutes the fun, I’m sorry. We only do things which are legal and when people deserve it. Are you listening, Sophia Loren? You’ve been begging for a bagging, and good on these comedic non-cunty posse of folk for serving you up a long-deserved slice of insolent pie. Eat it with relish, you Mediterranean strumpet.
