Lilley is an Australian comic genius! However, Americans won't get it.


Americans are used to subpar humor designed for morons. They will not be able to comprehend the statistical density that IS Mr. Lilley and his social commentary.

They'll laugh at the Poo On You, but that's about it.

You're a jerk. This show is hilarious as was SHH. If this is seriously what you think of Americans than you are ignorant.

Statistical density? Keep making up phrases and you might sound smart one of these days.

reply

Pst... I'm an American.

It seems like we both agree that this show (as well as SHH) rules. So let's be friends. Huzzah!

And I didn't make up "statistical density". Frank Zappa did.

I'm an American and I find this show HILARIOUS. I found Summer Heights High funny, too. A ton of my friends like this show, and a ton of other Americans that I know love it so much. Trust me, we get it, no need to insult! We LOVE Lilley.

Why use IMDB to spew your narrow vitriolic bigotry? There are plenty of other sites for morons like you to feign superiority.

BTW, I'm an American and a huge Angry Boys fan.

Another American who likes this checking in. And I've never seen any of Lilley's stuff before either, so I'm not some predisposed transitional fan.

I'm a little embarrassed for you that you posted something like this and then admitted your American. I could get an Aussie or something who'd never been here before making such a generalization, but in your case we can only assume that you simply don't get out of your house much.

^This.

Also American, also getting it.

reply

American here also-GET IT, LOVE IT!

Are we supposed to be brain dead? Of course the show isn't for everyone,but...yeah what's not to get.

reply

aaaaand another American ... LOVING THIS SHOW!

Original poster, you embarrass yourself.

reply

Excuse me, I am an American and this humor is not "above" me.

Also, "Poo On You" is one of my least favorite parts from what I've seen so far.

Thank you for your brilliant insight, though.

Another American who finds this show, and SHH hilarious. I absolutely recognize the genius of Chris Lilley.

reply

Dude, I'm American and I absolutely loved this show plus the other Lilley shows. The guy is not only a comic genius he does a fantastic job of mixing comedy with drama. He's also a great writer and director.

BTW I understand your feeling about American sitcoms, after all we did have 9 season of According to Jim.
