That's the stuff. The mid 80s to the mid 90s was a golden age for Australian sketch comedy. With shows like D-generation, Fast Forward, The Late Show, Comedy Company and Full Frontal. The best we've had since then was the Chaser.
This show like all the other Aussie comedies was just great but could never survive these days due to all the goodie goodies who seem to dictate what one can and cannot say
Thank You for posting this, this was such a funny show. Gotta luv Michelle and Ferret. the funny part is a grew up in the 70's in Melbourne when the sharpies were in and its just what they looked like...I remember it well.
How she loses it right there at 5:09 is just gorgeous. They must have done quite a few takes and holding it together would have been just so damn hard.
Such a shame, our Aussie humor has gone to the shit. Back in the days it was a lot better, gotta say though this is probably one of my favorite Aussie comedy shows.
You must have watched a different show? I guess you didn't see any episodes with: Jane Turner, Gina Riley, Marg Downey, Geoff Brooks, Glenn Robbins, Steve Vizard, Peter Moon, Gerry Connolly & Michael Veitch. Even more high end comedians joined the show as it evolved, eg. Eric Bana, Jimeoin. Magda was funny sure but by far the funniest? I think not.
These two old boilers remind me of some of the mothers of the older kids in my street in the 1960s. They drank Diet Ale and smoked Cool menthol ciggies and watched Days of Our Lives, etc on tv.
Young ones of today are too busy trying to be fake! Behaving as dictated by social media and commercialism from the U.S. living an identity crisis, while their IQs keep plummet ling with their addiction to internet crap and their little devices! Spoilt and useless.
Magda? In the clip at 0:53 sounds a bit like Bea Smith from Prisoner! Kinda cool, tbh, especially with that Prisoner parody, Magda did with Jane and Gina!
Holy crap, i am in fits all over again, i loved this and all the other shows back then, so much, nowdays with all the Political Correct BULLSHIT we will never see the old comic shows again. The world has gone to crap so much ...
Carmel - Lynne's friend in the pink dress and blonde curls? (Also the blonde Russian for Good Morning Moscow.) That's Kath And Kim's KATH DAY. (NOT the shitty US Remake.)
@valfierium Hmmm I'll admit skitHOUSE had it's moments, the australian fast bowler sketches were always good and there was some bird on there Fiona something or other who was good value but apart from that it was no match for fast forward or full frontal or the chaser. This is from a guy who watched both seasons of skitHOUSE hoping it would get progressively better like comedy inc did.
Sitting here in London. Glasgow born and Australian from aged 9 till ....I still am even though I came back to the UK at age 58. Yep I’m crazy. I adored this at the time and all the years that have passed hasn’t changed my opinion. It’s still bloody beaut. Sadly in 2021 too many snowflakes would find fault with it. Instead of simply enjoying the comedy which was never meant to offend anyone, they now need safe spaces to protect their hurt feelings or the great comeback is IT’S RACIST. Apologies for the rant. Memories and a little Lidil Champagne 🥂
Back in the days when people could laugh at jokes in context, before the touchy-hurty-feely generations came along and made it a fashion to be offended by everything.
That gave me a good belly laugh as it did many years ago. Now with all this political correctness rubbish and our "Marshmallow society" we can no longer enjoy shows like this. Bring back the good old days! 😂
You must consider these clips to be particularly funny, I mean: this video is far too short to capture all of FF's funniest moments. :) Of course it is a matter of opinion, but still, surely you consider other material funny enough to include here.
while a lot of the stuff in this show has aged VERY badly (need i mention the blackface and constant offensive racial stereotypes?), there's still so much to love in this show. Just because something's dated, doesn't mean it has to be completely exiled. It's important to recognise how much progress society is made and laugh at the stuff that IS still funny. and i need a full version of that 80's remix of The Nutcracker from the first clip, tbh.
Magda Szunbansky was truly talented… my favourite show growing up😂😂❤
Michelle and Ferret are timeless gold
That's the stuff. The mid 80s to the mid 90s was a golden age for Australian sketch comedy. With shows like D-generation, Fast Forward, The Late Show, Comedy Company and Full Frontal. The best we've had since then was the Chaser.
Agreed!
💯 percent agree. And yeah Chaser, and Ronnie Johns Half Hour were my faves since.
i said love, i said pet, i said pet, i said love
Just swanning around having an epileptic fit... 😂😂😂😂😂
Harsh! 😂😂😂
This show like all the other Aussie comedies was just great but could never survive these days due to all the goodie goodies who seem to dictate what one can and cannot say
Lynn and Carmel are the funniest thing to come out of Australia.
Totally!
Damn Magda was so great in all her roles here. Back when sketch comedy was a piss take of each slice of life. No longer.
Yesteryear had So many good things. Nostalgia.
The archetype of Michelle and Ferret exists to this very day. I see them everyday at my place of work.
So true 🤣

miss all these old shows. Good to come and have a laugh. Needed it
This was my childhood, I’m crying
Remember how SHORT the commercial breaks were too? Christopher Skase "owned" Channel 7, yet NONE of the 8½ minutes of programs between breaks!
I loved watching this program! Bring it back!!!
"Oh, Viktor, you are very unattractive"
Don't know why, but this is probably my most favorite part.
Good to see Sharon sticking up for herself
They should bring all the series on a DVD box set
They have, full frontal aswell. I have both haha
@@traffic200 nice
@@traffic200 where from? I’d love a copy
@@TwilightDust fishpond.com.au was close to 10 years ago so don't know if still available.
This skit was called "The Sharpie Dance"
"Thats what you get for caring"
Thank you for this!!! I just needed to see this again. GO MICHELLE AND FERRET!
So miss this fabulous entertainer.
omg i love michelle and ferret! lol.....awesome
Magda was by far the funniest one on this show. No one else came close.

Magda was funny sure but by far the funniest? I think not.
She sure was..just the little nuances were classic.
All the girls were great
Peter Moon is the most low key genius comedy talent of all time.
Kath and Kim eat ya heart out hahah this is gold
These two old boilers remind me of some of the mothers of the older kids in my street in the 1960s.
They drank Diet Ale and smoked Cool menthol ciggies and watched Days of Our Lives, etc on tv.
i said pet i said love
Justine Turnbull i said love, I said PET😂😂
This is Aussie comedy at its Best!!!
Hilarious. Loved this show
Bring back fast forward/full frontal!!!

Magda is a national treasure
Gorgeous 🙌🏼
i said love i said pet i love i said love!
Magda is such a babe omg love it.
Babe as in that movie with the pig ? Yep she's a disgrace
I said, pet; I said, love; I said pet. 😂
Miss that show
Love michelle and ferrett's bogan dance!!
We need an Aussie comedy channel
Plucka Duck .... Oh Yeah!
i said pet i said love i said pet >=:P muha ha!
Should be back on TV.
Give the young ones of today a taste of real comedy.
Yep sure would
Young ones of today are too busy trying to be fake! Behaving as dictated by social media and commercialism from the U.S. living an identity crisis, while their IQs keep plummet ling with their addiction to internet crap and their little devices! Spoilt and useless.
Magda, love her
Sharpies!
aaah memories. The one where they go down to Indented Head is hilarious.
omg i miss this show
Ha ha the sharpie dance
fast foward was the best.
what a great blast from the past! loved this show when I was living in Australia, better the SNL
And there's Sharon too!
Whhat a classic!
she's the read my lips lady!!!!!
Magda? In the clip at 0:53 sounds a bit like Bea Smith from Prisoner! Kinda cool, tbh, especially with that Prisoner parody, Magda did with Jane and Gina!
Lol, bogan dance!
Holy crap, i am in fits all over again, i loved this and all the other shows back then, so much, nowdays with all the Political Correct BULLSHIT we will never see the old comic shows again. The world has gone to crap so much ...
Kaa Cee so true
Hilarious!
When Tv was funny and NO reality crap
Blankety Blanks FTW
I'd like it if more people O/S watched Fast Forward on CZcams.
Perfect X
All outta Melbourne
who else was waiting for the ash that droped onto the mothers top to burn through?
i just love that whole Victor you're a very unattractive man, LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
I think this was the start of Brett's mum
RottingHearts oh definitely - remember the hospital scene? 😭 ‘yis, well she’s a BITCH too’😂😂🤷🏽♀️
Yeah I always wondered who played Brett’s mom as soon as I heard her voice I knew it was Lorraine
Carmel - Lynne's friend in the pink dress and blonde curls?
(Also the blonde Russian for Good Morning Moscow.)
That's Kath And Kim's KATH DAY.
(NOT the shitty US Remake.)
PISS FUNNY, GO AUSSIES
me too!
yeah, chav/bogan/"westie"
@popcornplayer86 Maybe Kylie Mole with the Comedy Company. bound to be on here somewhere.
Piss funny!
So clever the whole cast when Australia knew how to laugh and have a sense of humour not my Australia any more 🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
@carntspell thanks heaps
Pluck-a-duck, pluck-a-duck, lol wow I am old enough to actually remember that lame show...LOL baddd...This on the other hand, genius! :D
@cocoidie thanks heaps
@valfierium Hmmm I'll admit skitHOUSE had it's moments, the australian fast bowler sketches were always good and there was some bird on there Fiona something or other who was good value but apart from that it was no match for fast forward or full frontal or the chaser.

No, you’re right…
This is how the liberal party acts
In the nude, Ray…
Can’t do this stuff anymore
jane turner is hot!!
I vonder if Viktor vould be Z or not Z.
@unstoppableExodia not true, I thought Roving Enterprises did a good job with SkitHOUSE
remember the school girl that chewed gum n had freckels on her face was she on this show or full frontal do you no her name
Kylie Mole was on Comedy Company.. She goes she goes she goes well she just goes lol.. One of my favourite characters to from a funny show in the 80s
Thinking back now I can't believe I even watched this TV program.
Back in the days when people could laugh at jokes in context, before the touchy-hurty-feely generations came along and made it a fashion to be offended by everything.
Pussies…
Aussie version of trailer trash
?????????????
I don't really get Fast Forward, but I respect it purely for the fact that Full Frontal probably wouldn't have existed without it
They were the same show. Just renamed
fast forward/full frontal make SNL look like a bunch of talentless hacks.
shows too much of the film
That gave me a good belly laugh as it did many years ago. Now with all this political correctness rubbish and our "Marshmallow society" we can no longer enjoy shows like this. Bring back the good old days! 😂

The subtitles are terrible
And this is comedy ? Good grief !!!!

Yawn
Maybe its you who have aged badly?
Racial stereotypes are hilarious!
Fast Forward Funniest Bits? This video is 5 minutes and 10 seconds too long.
Never funny
