Google Video: Network Ten

Australians laugh loudest and longest at themselves, and that's why comedy made by Aussies for Aussies gets the biggest laughs of all. No other network develops and screens as much locally produced comedy as Ten.

Thanks to Google Video you can now see a small sample of the big laughs you get on Ten.

Australia's Favourite TV Personality gets plenty of laughs. Already in its 6th year, 'Rove Live' just keeps getting better and better. Rove, Pete Helliar and the gang run the comedy range from biting satire to poo jokes… and sometimes there are even satirical poo jokes.

But what about a Tonight Show Host who doesn't even exist? 'David Tench Tonight' stars, the world's first computer-generated TV star (Carl Stefanovic was actually the second). Tench can ask the sort of questions that would earn a real TV Host a slap across the face.

Speaking of real brings us neatly to Ten's 'Real Stories'. Are those stories really real or not? Hamish and Andy have created a bizarre world of nearly plausible lies in what is proudly known as 'Australia's 5th Best Current Affairs program'.

Reality is kind of flexible in the 'Ronnie Johns Half Hour' too. An ensemble that includes a make-up wearing cowboy riding a paper-mache horse, a politically correct dog, a couple of Pommie backpackers who kick each other in the balls – for fun, and, of course, the one and only Mark 'Chopper' Read.

Then there's the totally loony inhabitants of Wedgedale, as seen on 'The Wedge'. Although it seems like any normal Aussie suburb, there's something decidedly odd about Wedgedale. From schoolgirl stalkers to apologising sportsmen, the place is full of weirdos. I won't say it's serious. It's not serious, so I won't say it.

Try watching some Australian-made comedy on Ten. Seriously. read less «

Like so many public affairs shows before it, REAL STORIES promises to tackle the big issues that are affecting our communities. Our cameras will go anywhere to prove the stories are real, and the people are real. REAL STORIES is an example of public affairs at it's finest.

However, unlike so many public affairs shows before it, REAL STORIES has been entirely created by Radio Karate – four 24-year-old guys – who also directed and edited the series. And, OK, maybe the stories aren't that real, and most of the characters are played by popular radio personalities HAMISH BLAKE and ANDY LEE with long time collaborator, RYAN SHELTON. And, well, we wouldn't say it's public affairs at its "finest" either, some of the stories are ridiculous, but the title is correct. read less «

The one and only smash sketch show hosted by a cowboy riding a papier mache horse (Ronnie Johns and the Good Taste Pony), THE RONNIE JOHNS HALF HOUR is side splitting Australian comedy at its best.

All your favourites are back of course - with Jesus up to his usual devilish tricks, the Garys , Paulie leading the consumer crusade. Chopper is still finding himself in f#%$in' testing situations and Poppy is bringing back her photo book for show and tell. They will be joined by some new friends including a Esteban the spanish conquistador finds himself dealing with 21st Century issues.

The 3rd Degree is a group of performers and writers who have honed their skills and relationships through live performances in revues and with tours, including the Melbourne and Big Laugh Comedy Festivals.

Heath Franklin, Jordan Raskopoulos, Felicity Ward, Caz Fitzgerald, Dan Ilic, Rebecca Gage and James Pender - These comedians aren't household names they're just piss funny, very talented and willing to take risks. read less «

Australia's favourite talk show host returns to Channel Ten with more guests, more comedy, and more fun. Ten Logies later (including three Gold for Most Popular TV Personality), Rove's no longer the newest kid on the talk show block -- he's a seasoned professional, able to match wits with the best in the business.

They'll be some new stuff and some old favourites including co-host Peter Helliar as he continues to provide the laughs, whether by reviewing DVDs, playing an assortment of characters in his "live satellite crosses" or just interrupting Rove to hit on a guest...

...plus loads of A-list interviews and fun. read less «
