Original question by @Justathroughdaway@lemmy.world

Ask any Australian/New Zealander who grew up in the late 2000s or early 2010s what they're favourite show was and they'll probably say something by Chris Lilley. In particular Summer Highs High or Jonah From Tonga. I used to love watching these shows when I was younger and Lilley is such a great actor. To this day there still quoted in schools all over NZ and Australia.

Does anybody like the Red Green Show outside of Canada?

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

How about Kids in the Hall? Best ever Canadian show by far.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I think about “Fattening up our taaaaapewoooorms” weekly

Screw the bank I work for, screw the bank, and I'm squishing your head are references I make regularly.

Corner gas, Schitt's Creek, also quite good Canadian tv

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Aussie here that's watched all of Corner Gas a couple of times, due to a recommendation from a Canadian friend. No-one else here has heard of it though. Big fan.

Along those lines, Kim's Convenience! Except the last season when the writers gave up or something

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

You guys watch Trailer Park Boys or FUBAR over there? If not you should. Canadian TV at its highest caliber.

Also Kenny Vs Spenny.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I watched Trailer Park Boys on a recommendation from a co-worker many years ago. I'll have to look up FUBAR. I espouse the joys of Letterkenny to anyone that will listen. I'm the wrong person to ask about what Australians in general watch, though. They all seem to only watch the likes of Married At First Sight and Master Chef. Ugh. I've always kinda just gone my own way.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 points 5 hours ago

If you like TPB you’ll like FUBAR. Same kind of humour.

And don’t sleep on Kenny vs Spenny. All the episodes are free on YouTube now.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

watched both growing up.

I didn't get the red or green in the show but I had a black and white bunny TV that only got PBS.

I cobbled it together with hangers, aluminum foil, and tape. after all if the women don't find me handsome...

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

I liked it a lot growing up in the US. I still have the mental image of them "fixing" a flat tire (by duct taping a new tire to the flat) and the good tire popping off and rolling away when they drove away.

If women can't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
