This clip from The Chaserās War On Everything is just making me laugh out loud. Especially how they use the kid from a Brand Power āWonder White Breadā ad shown during a Today Tonight ad break in a meme-like way.

Man, do I miss the Chaserās War on Everything.
So many moments where I was rolling around on the floor laughing. I particularly remember a scene where they were taking the piss out of some self-help quackery where if you envisioned something happening really really hard it would definitely happenā¦they ended up āenvisioningā a free space in a car park, squealed around the corner and smashed into a parked car. I was on the floor for several minutes after that, hardly able to breathe.
On a somewhat related subject, I remember seeing Borat in the cinemas not long after it premiered with my dad. People were heaving they were laughing so hard. That fight scene in the hotel was absolutely on a completely different level with people with tears streaming down their face, crying laughing. I couldnāt hear the dialogue for at least 2 or 3 minutes after that scene ended.

So many regular Chaser segments have never been matched since in aussie TVā¦ ad road test has to be my favourite from back in the day (2:30 report a close second). The Godfreys one is a real classic (even if the YT clip is only 240pā¦ ugh).

I agree with all the comments about The Chasers War on Everything, wish we still had a show like that on TV now but it was fun while it lasted I guess!
But with the popular āWhat Weāve Learnt From Current Affairs This Week?ā segment, if the show was still around now I wonder if that would be extended to include some of the ridiculousness from commercial TV news bulletins? At times, I often wonder what The Chaser would make of the infamous āSpecial Reportsā from Nine News Queensland and pieces to camera from reporters like Mike Dalton here in Sydney!

It was edited onto the screen as the update was pre-recorded a few days before.

Bah Humbug.
When some MediaSpy members go out partying (as rare as that might be) this is probably what they imagine a dream nught out would beā¦ disco dancing to a news themeā¦
Itās vaguely amusing
Just for the record; the news theme, the movie and the reference to disco dancing are all before my time (although I was alive)

Nah, us younger Media Spy members would probably prefer something like the Pendulum remix of the old ABC News theme:
ā¦or the Tom Budin remix of NBN Newsā current theme music, which I personally think is even funnier:
I can just imagine what an official music video of that one would be: Paul Lobb, Natasha Beyersdorf, Mitchell Hughes, Gavin Morris, Jane Goldsmith, Sam Djodan, Kate Haberfield & Tyson Cotrill dancing on the NBN Newsdesk to strobe lighting!
