how come this page doesn't come up when I type in "The chaser's war on everything" into search (i found this page through google)? --LeakeyJee 10:39, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

It does now (See: The chaser's war on everything)--Greasysteve13 04:26, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Firth: No longer in the USA

Apprently hes in Africa somewhere now, as seen last week when he was seeing if stuff was "world famous" in Tanzinia or some place. Update? --Rilstix 06:44, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I think that was a one off for that episode and judging by the amount of cameos hes had on the actual show recently I'd say he's back in Australia. Deshem 09:50, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

He had a live cameo one week, followed by a pre-recorded cameo (The Adventurous Diner) the next week - these could easily have been recorded in the same week. He could have then had a couple of weeks off and then done the segment in Africa "on the way back" (although it's a very vague definition of "on the way", it is possible). I don't think we should write him off as "back in Australia" when it could just be a break. -- Chuq 23:17, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I remember hearing on one of the the commentary tracks that he wanted to go to North korea and Iran(?), would be interesting to see if he ever managed that...ACK-OA Alkoholicks 08:24, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Off topic, but...

This is the freakin funniest show ever man!

I concur. Amazing.

[edit] logie?

i heard the chaser won a logie. is this true? if so, perhaps someone should add it. Flage 04:23, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure but Chas was most probably the most filmed person of the night!!! --LeakeyJee 12:25, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I think they won a logie in 2005 for best comedy Steven Fitter 13:25, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Correct, however that was for The Chaser Decides, not for The War on Everything. --Smartaalec 14:14, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

They also won a logie more recently for best comedy with CNNNN, they tied with Kath and Kim. Jabso 04:26, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sunrise

How is the fact that Sunrise doesn't have a studio audience relevant? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 132.234.251.211 (talk • contribs) 21:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Probably because the large amount of profanity Chris used would be unaccceptable to a studio audience. -- Chuq 02:51, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
The Sunrise stuff should be removed. People are so gullible. The video was on the ABC website weeks before it got passed around as being supposedly on Sunrise. Wikipedia should not be a forum to debunk internet rumours. Dankru 12:17, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
As long as the rumour debunking is not researched on Wikipedia, I don't see a problem with a few lines summing up the situation, so long as it is factual. -- Chuq 12:26, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Logie? Answer!

Well the thing is he was just mucking around. When Blue Water High won a logie instead of goiing up and pretending to be happy and with them like he did for all the others, he actully went up on stage , Chaz that is, and started to accept the logie for them thanking anyone and everyone, it was all a big joke of theirs but it was live on Channel Nine none the less, they also had it on a episode later that week. I hope that answers your questions. I am now going to watch it as it is Firday as I write this and almost time for it to be on.

[edit] Are You Being Shagged?

Surely this is a recurring segment? It's featured in three of the past six episodes. In any case I think three appearances of a segment should grant it status of recurring, as that may lead to future appearances. -- Mixmaster Flibble 10:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Whoops my bad, i obviously have missed a few of the recent episodes cause I've only seen it in one episode, I'll put the section back in then. --LeakeyJee 07:44, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

oh its been done --LeakeyJee 07:44, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I strongly disagree this should be a recurring segment. It was a series of 10-second scenes shown in three groups, and for them to produce any more, they would have to restage all the set and redo all the elaborate makeup. So far they have only ever done this once and there will never again be another "Shagged" segment. This is unlike all the other recurring segments, eg Current Affairs and Face Off, which are easy to create more of. Whophd 18:35, 19 August 2006 (UTC)


Wrong Whophd. Are you being Shagged has been done again. Seems like your intimate relationship with the chaser team which allowed you to make such incredible assertions was (unsurpisingly) complete shit. Go stick a giant dildo up your ass to calm yourself down. Fuckwit. Oh and don't delete this as abuse... i make a valid point. Fuckwit.--Heavy Man 01:33, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

It is possible to make a valid point and be abusive, as you have demonstrated here (and as I have just noted on your talk page.) It also pretty easy to make a point without being abusive, I recommend you do that from now on. -- Chuq 01:59, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stockinghead

I think we should put something about Chris Taylor's stunt of wearing the stocking on his head and visiting stores because it's become quite the internet meme in its own right and is one of the only chaser stunts where they actually had to put a warning at the end not to re-enact. Deshem 13:52, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

not... A meme. In any way. At. All.

sheesh.

ACK-OA Alkoholicks 04:35, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criticisms

I reckon this kind of programme would draw some controversy and criticisms. How about including them in the article? Cheungpat 22:08, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Pretty much all of the "well known stunts" are criticism from the mainstream media. -- Chuq 08:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jihad Jack

I don't really think this is a "well known" stunt - all of the others were reported in the media, bar the sunrise incident which was well distributed as an internet meme. -- Chuq 08:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)


That is in no way a meme, not even faintly remotely close. ACK-OA Alkoholicks 02:53, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citizen's Infringement Officer: A recurring segment?

Would the CIO qualify as a recurring segment? It was certainly a reoccurring element, but doesn't have an announcement screen or jingle, or other elements the listed segments have. Is it worth adding? -- Mixmaster Flibble 08:53, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, my vote would be that it is recurring. -- Chuq 00:42, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree - add it. Deshem 12:32, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Can someone make a userbox for fans of the show

Can someone make a userbox of the show. I want to it put it on my page. Xiaodai 02:21, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Internet meme?

As hilarious as the Chaser boys are (I'm an Aussie, watched the show religiously when it was on and bought the new DVD), I would barely call them internet phenomena. I put a call for citation just yesterday and someone "cited" it by linking to Chaser videos on YouTube. Sure, YouTube is a popular website, but does that mean everything on it is phenomena? I've got a few videos on YouTube but they're barely well known.

I call for a criteria for "internet meme"-age to be set. I mean, they're not nearly as popular as memes like Badgerx3, Snakes on a Plane, Numa Numa, etc. I don't see any Chaser references on Newgrounds. When they start showing up on Newgrounds, people's forum signatures, and they're laughed at by any geek or teenager I talk to, then I'd call it a phenomenon. But for now, I'd leave it case-closed and I've deleted the citing.Taylor 09:17, 19 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] hahha

i have written about the osama stuff at Videos of Osama bin Laden, Greengiraffe 04:09, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality

Obviously whoever wrote this article thinks it's a hilarious show... I'm disputing the neutrality and tagging it as such. Naysie 13:22, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Just read through the article, and I don't find anything stated in it to be unduly biased. Could you demonstrate a passage that lacks neutrality? Mixmaster Flibble 01:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I don't find anything biased either -- apart from perhaps the degree of detail and amount of content, which, while suggesting the author/s did think it was a good show, is no worse than other articles on TV shows. That Trivia section is pointless though, I might delete it soon if no-one objects. Cathryn 07:11, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I can see no evidence of POV - most of the writing is quite neutral and factual. If you can see any value judgments or unsourced opinions, point them out. SM247My Talk 22:43, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
I agree, whether the show is hilarious or not has nothing to do with what the article's reported. Naysie hasn't provided any proof of bias. -- Anonymous 1 March 2007
On an unrelated note, i notice the "Recurring segments on the show" section is written in present tense. I didn't want to spend hours rewording it just so that someone can revert me, so i left it alone. But my feeling is it should be written in past tense, as the episodes have already happened. Does anyone else agree? -- Anonymous 1 March 2007
I think it's fine the way it is, after all, they are recurring segments, which might be brought back for the next season. If some of the segments were discontinued, then past tense would be appropriate. -- Anonymous 25 March 2007
