Morning, y’all.

We are going to have a video this week, but we’ll be a tad later than usual. We’ll be uploading on Sunday instead (though you’ll get it earlier than then). No massive reason – we’re just a tad behind. I know they say always upload on the same day, but… well… whatever. I think Cheapshow are doing some sort of special episode on Friday for another of their many anniversaries, so we’ll get out of the way of that too.

Next week I desperately need to catch up on day job stuff, so we’ll be re-uploading the Doggerland video up to the new channel, as we seem to have picked up some people who are new to us. And, frankly, that video deserved to do better.

With all that in mind… Biffo’s Brain we’re moving to Sunday night at 7pm, if people can make that. Don't forget!

Also, at some point next month we’re going to hold another quiz night for all Patreon tiers. We really enjoyed the last one.

Iiiiiiiiin other news. I just want to share the above video with you, because I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard in years – not since we last did Digi Live.

Quick bit of background. This YouTube channel was set up by the Australian comedy team Aunty Donna, to give a platform to other alternative Australian comics. Nippers is one of the shows they put on there – frankly, it deserves more views than it got. It’s not for everyone. It’s pretty gross. Very shouty. Proper anti-comedy. I laughed a lot. BUT…

…We watched a couple of eps last night, and there was this one tiny bit in the second one that literally had me wheezing and crying. I don’t even think it was scripted – probably most likely something they did in the edit. I mean, Sanja too, but at some point I think she just started laughing at how much I was laughing.

I'd love to know how the channel is funded, because the views aren't huge for a lot of the things, and they're pretty high production values (at least in a lo-fi way). Makes me want to do stuff like that again.

But tiiiiime and moneeeeeeey! There's never enough of either.

Anyway. I've linked to it – I’m not going to tell you which bit it was, because that would ruin it. But I genuinely wanted to know… when was the last time you laughed uncontrollably like that, and why?

The Slam | Nippers [by Sam Campbell and Eric Hutton]

It's the annual bush poetry slam. No one's favourite time of year. Can the Nippers take the crown, or will the crown take them? Nippers is a four-part Australian web-series made by former cell-mates Sam Campbell and Eric Hutton for Comedy Central Australia in 2017. The show ran for approximately ten minutes per episode and was made on a fairly high budget of 85 million dollars an episode. The series features Joaquin Phoenix though he does not voice any characters or appear on screen. Nippers was so successful that after it aired Comedy Central Australia stopped producing local content. It was also planned for television release in New Zealand but was pulled before airing after a promo featuring a junior surf life saver shooting up the popular cocoa drink 'Milo' attracted the ire of the Nestle corporation. Discerning viewers of the show will notice vague themes of surf life saving and even the ocean. Each episode contains coded messages predicting the next four Australian Prime Ministers.
