Have posted some of these already in the Music forum, but thought it worth putting a few over here also. "The Late Show" was the ABC comedy show from the D Generation from 1992 to 1993, and one of the most popular segments was the send ups of musical acts. Putting a few on here for a look:

Tony Martin does REM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjhsZ8ZM ... re=related


"We've just run out of Melbourne cliches": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap-t46_Sy3A

No matter how many years pass.

still get Bargearse out on a regular basis. Classic comedy. "You won't need a pen for my order. Just get me a shit load of dim sims and a bucket of soy sauce".
