We Can Be Heroes


Bloody Aussies have done it again!

We Can Be Heroes is a new series and its been described as a cross between The Games (stunning aussie spoof of the Olympics) and the League of Gentlemen.

Commedian Chris Lilley plays all the main characters - 5 Australians who have been nominated for Australian of the Year for various absurd feats.

It basically captures everything that is awful about Australians! Such as the 17 year old posh school girl - Ja'mie who has sponsored more Africans than anyone else - "Doing the 40 hour famine twice a week keeps me looking hot", and Constable Phil Olivetti - on being nominated for a bravery award - "I laughed at the suggestion when I nominated myself."- who saved some kids when the blow up castle they were in playing flew into a pylon, and Pat who has one leg shorter than the other and rolled from Perth to Fremantle - "Yes Im disabled... but I can roll"

This show is really weird but great - check out the site - you'll get the idea.
