Summer Heights High

Postby Punk Rooster » Mon Oct 29, 2007 11:29 am

Watched the DVD last night.
1st episode, meh.
2nd episode, mmm, not bad.
3rd epsiode f**kin funny! :lol:
(nb this is not a reflection of each episode, but my time-line of being won over)

Jonah is my favourite character by far.
The scene where he accuses his father of molesting him, & where the father gets called in & fronted by the school counsellor had me in tears! :lol:

Mrs Brod loves it, its her favourite show, but I wained as it went on.
Jonah is great and as such I will quite often just watch the Jonah montage on You Tube, get all the good bits and miss the rest (jamie)

I agree.
I theorised about Jonah having is own show, but I doubt you could fill an episode without losing quality.
Also by having the other 2 characters makes Jonah shine.
I find Ja'mie irritating, & Mr G mildly amusing at times.

Another funny Jonah moment is when his dad picks him up from school, & upon hearing he'd misbehaved, informed the teachers he would give him a "hiding" when he got home! :lol:

I didn't actually laugh out loud for most the episodes especially the early one's but felt compelled to watch them all.
First heard about the show when Ja'mie rang JJJ morning show once, I thought it was a real chick and I thought I have to watch this show thinking it was a doco! :? :lol:
Like all I love the character Jonah, cracks me up.
Apparantley there's all sorts of troubles at schools around the nation with kids telling their teaches to "Puck off". :lol:

Also a couple of days ago Chris Lilley went to a shopping centre in Melbourne (Chadstone or something like that), and after spending 2 hours signing DVDs he had to get security to help him out as the crowd got agro that he wouldn't stay there longer to give more sigs! :shock:

Chris is incredibly talented, Ive seen some of his earlier work on the Comedy Channel and he's cracked me up.

Jai'me - she makes me laugh... "you know how all you public school people are povo... " hehehehehe
Jonah - cracks me up and I love the thing he has going with his remedial teacher

Very very good show. A shame none of my students have told me to "Puck Off", although I've heard "that's so random" being said a few times.

Same, I'm hearing 'random' a lot - very annoying. During the first series I was teaching a student called Jamie who thought she was cool-as and wore her popularity like a badge of honour. For some reason she didn't like it when I called her Jam'ie...

I love it how he trys to make the counsellor and the principal apologise to his dad about it.

I also love his "Dictation" symbol.
You will see more of this as you get through the series.

Mr G's dog Celine is also a crack up.
Wait till you see her when she's paralysed.
"She's lost the function of her rectum so twice a day i have to kind of squeeze the poo out of her."

For those who saw "we can be heroes", i think he should bring Daniel Sims back from Dunt in far north SA.
Classic character.

If you buy the DVD you get a Dicktation sticker with it.

I nearly put it on my car - but thought better of it.

The website is also brilliant.
I can't stop laughing about it.
The tag lines are hilarious in the dress up section.
