The Aussies Are Better Than Us: “Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation”

With the hurricanes, I think some of you could use a laugh.  This clip has been making the rounds on Facebook, and I saw it on Bother’s Bar, so I thought you’d enjoy it.  We don’t cover a lot of Australian shows.  I’m a big fan of comedy panel quiz shows.  For some reason we just can’t seem to get any here unlike basically every other major country.  They clearly work, but no one wants to give any a shot.  This one from Australia is called Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation.  The Ten show, beginning in 2009, involves three teams of celebrities placed on teams corresponding to their ages and generations.  They’re quizzed on various things from various generations.

One of the show’s more infamous moments involves one of the panelists’s (Josh Thomas) grandmother.  She elects to play a round called Trust Me.  The game in it is Human Nacho, where missing a question dumps various nacho condiments onto a person sitting in a chair.  Out of no where Josh’s grandmother elects to sit in the chair.  It’s a hysterical, horrific, and great moment.  Makes me wish we could get a show like this in America.  Or we could have shows where morons from Jersey banging each other.  Whatever.
