Continuing their tradition of releasing hilarious press releases, those boys who say the darnedest things, deeply saddened by the fact they didn’t have a show during the #spill to unleash their wit, and regular provocateurs of Royal fear, have announced their new Hamster Wheel election special in an amazing announcement to the press.
Perturbed by grotsky byotches who won’t settle on an election date for jerks to elaborately donkey-vote, the Chaser boys found out constructed this exclusive, “The Australian people deserve certainty about who scrutinises and
satirises the contest to become Prime Minister,” said Mr Rudd, taking
time out from Twitter to confront the issue. “When I heard that the lack
of a definitive election date was making it difficult for ABC1 to
schedule the return of election specials Gruen Nation and The Hamster
Decides by the Chaser, I asked the Governor General to set an election
date immediately, and one that suits the national broadcaster.”
The announcement of the Hamster Wheel’s reappearance comes paired with Gruen Nation’s return to our screens, gracing us with the best deconstructions of political spin; gleaming gelled hair emanating like a beacon from its host Wil Anderson, and the continued saga of Todd v. Russell: a Shakespearean quarrel to divide the nation.
Professional wearer of sharp suits, Wil Anderson, “dismissed speculation that the election might not be held on
September 14, a date chosen by Mr Rudd’s predecessor: “I can’t imagine
Prime Minister Rudd would want to compromise Julia Gillard’s legacy
by doing something like that. He’s always struck me as the kind of man
who lets the past stay in the past.”
The release includes a response from ABC TV’s director, Richard Finlayson, saying, “There’s no f#*king way I’m letting them use my name in a fake quote.”
They’re back, everyone. Rejoice.
Gruen Nation
premieres Wednesday, August 21 at 8:30pm on ABC1. The Hamster Decides premieres Wednesday, August 21 at 9:15pm on ABC1.
