This is a little skit which was apparently first featured on the Taproot Blog. I have no idea who produced it or why, but it’s quite a funny parody of a politician explaining an oil spill.
I’m guessing it is from an Australian comedy TV show, so if one of you knows a little more detail about where this came from it would be great.

the bald guy is John Clarke. He & the other bloke, whose name i don’t know, used to do these little political parodies every Friday night on the end of the ABC’s the 7.30 Report. you should be able to find a heap of his stuff around I would imagine.
That is SO funny!!! “Well, the front fell off…” “Well, cardboard’s out…” Hahahaha!
The “journalist” is Bryan Dawe - the other half of what is a terrific satirical team.
The two of them did have a spot on Channel 9’s A Current Affair but ended up at the ABC (Aust. Govt. owned TV and radio broadcaster) for some reason.
This was a little different. I must say, I’ve never really heard an Australian comedian before.
One of them (John Clarke) is actually a New Zealander, but anyway. As an Australian, I can tell you that you haven’t missed anything by not knowing any Australian comedians before now. Since the introduction of TV here in the ’50’s, our comedians have done their best to emulate/imitate their American or British counterparts. So, there’s not a whole lot of difference.
