Chasers handing out fake weapons

I think the guy is a complete tool because he did it at the game in public. We have one of the best games of the season ready to roll last night and some fool starts joking about violence and rape in public and people think it's funny.

I don't understand how that works, but each to their own I guess.

Like I said earlier, you can have satire done in tasteful ways that are still extremely funny. If people think I am being too serious just because I find this one thing not funny then so be it, I don't really care.

The best thing about the whole situation is that the law doesn't find it funny either and that is far more important than any of us here on this forum.

Bang your head against the wall all you bloody like. It is my opinion and that won't change.

But you're basing your opinion on an incorrect interpretation of the situation...

Ah well...

How do you know it was incorrect? Where you there?

Throughout school it always seemed like there was one funny class clown, then another person attempting to be one but totally failing. This person was kind of nerdy and really irratated everyone but was oblivious to this. They seemed to make friends with other annoying people just like them. I think the Chaser is like the peak body for these people throughout Australia.

Bet you all would have thought it was hilarious if it was done at an AFL match.

And bet there'll be lots that say no they wouldn't have.

What's hard to understand about this stunt? If anything its too obvious. Everyones aware of the Bulldogs stereotypes. Its not like their making a unique observation about Canterbury fans. There just exagerating a standard joke to the point where it was kind of offensive.

i have a sense of humour, but to be honest i didnt think it was right, i dont blame some dogs fans for taking offense to it, when you go to a game you dont expect people outside the stadium selling masks/fake knives in order to pot stirr the dogs fans, i just think it was the wrong thing to do, wrong place and wrong time..

Definition of irony:
Bulldog supporters getting angry over a comedian taking the piss out of angry Bulldog supporters.

I don't know what's more funny - him doing the prank or the number of people here offended by it. It'd be kinda like Raiders fans getting pissed off about someone handing out beanies and gloves at our home games.

Ahh the Chaser - funniest guys on TV. The thought of them trying to sell the idea of building a Mosque in Mosman still cracks me up.

The funniest guy was the one who whipped his shlong out for all the girls to see in the library. He now plays for the Lithgow Shamrocks and works during the week at the timber yard.
How about the guy who did that impression of asian people with slanted eyes? He ekes out a living working as a tele-marketer.

Puerile comdey should be left for the school kids and simpletons of society.

If someone wants to point out what was clever or original about this I'd like to know. I put it on the same level as a drunken idiot leaving the game yelling out stuff like " what local gang are you dog fans part of ". Yelling that kind of thing out is no more likely to get you beaten up or taken by the cops than stunt.

Well the notion of knuckle dusters, flares, balaclaves, knives etc. actually being included in an official Bulldogs supporters kit is, at least IMO, mildly amusing.

Youre talking about the Wiggles, right?

I'm a dogs fan and I found it amusing. We need to have thicker skins.

Seriously, every time there is a tiny bit of negative media, a negative post or a joke where we are the focus, we have a cry. It was funny!!!
