A bit ho hum I thought and looked like nothing had been done to improve a tired format despite the large break. I did giggle at the announcement over the Cronulla PA though.

Was hoping they'd gone beyond 'Undergraduate Candid Camera'.
Hopes dashed.
Awfully unfunny.
Just about had enough of Australian TV 'comedy'.
One more dud and...

Yeh it was a bit more of the same but I still have to watch
After all the hype surrounding the blimp and the vatican it was a pretty short segment and not really that funny and they gave us no follow up on what happened to them

I thought it was pretty ordinary too. Really only liked the Billy Connolly skit. I think the whole vatican stunt was more about drumming up publicity for the return of the show than the actual laughs. The set's the same and the intro too despite being outdated.

"Really demeaning to women"
Why didn't she acknowledge the fact that the Melbourne Club's policy of not allowing the Gov in is demeaning ?

Maybe she did....
Nothing to say that ACA didn't ask her about her thoughts on the Melb Club and then spliced it in to sound like she was talking about The Chaser.
Nahhhhhh, they wouldn't do that!

They usually don't.
But any chance for muckraking results in certain media elements seeking the 'always available for a comment' groups who will make any statement just so their organisation can get some publicity, so that they can justify their existence.

Outrage = 1 old bag complaining? Most people during that story spoke positively of the segment.

Too predictable. Was hoping they may have addressed that this season. The Billy Connelly and Cronulla Sharks voice over were both quite good but the Quentin Bryce segment was bottom of the barrel stuff. Past its use by date...
Zzzzzzzz.......
