That only works if you are American.  Australia pronounce it Mel-bun not Mel-born. And we pronounce pendantry thusly.

Yes, Lt Col Kojak Slaphead I and II were my paternal grandfather and father. They both attained the rank of Lt Col. I have spent the better part of my career avoiding promotion to Col in order to preserve the family heritage.

A Glimpse Inside The Mind of Charles Swan I and II were awesome, but they never should've made a third one…

Actually this review reminded me of the confrontation between Rory and the Doctor in The Girl Who Waited:
Rory: This is your fault! You should look in a history book once in awhile, see if there's an outbreak of plague or not.
Doctor: That is not how I travel.
Rory: Then I do not want to travel with you!

I stand corrected.  So he went straight to the UK, then to the US.  Once he's conquered the world, maybe he'll come back to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival like some kind of f—king bigshot who's too good for us. Ah, to hell with him.

US fans have the advantage of a situation where most cities only have one pro team in each sport, so if you say you are "watching the game" and you're in Denver and and it's football season, it is clear who you mean.  In Australia, every city has multiple teams. Melbourne has 13 professional football teams across four…

Yes, and while we are on the subject, "sport" is the plural of "sport".  Not "sports".

Odd thing about Jim Jeffries is he is almost completely unknown in Australia.  As far as I know, he never did anything high profile here before heading for the US. It's a very unusual path to comedy stardom for an Aussie. There are quite a few Aussie comedians who have done well in the UK after starting out at home…

Look lady, you obviously have at least one son.

They could have made this clearer.

The UK version of The Office had a great finale.  I cried like a baby.

I know Australians are not very funny or important but I was vainly hoping for a mention of the D-Generation.  The D-Gen was a relatively short lived ABC show formed out of the Melbourne University Comedy Revue which brought together the people who would basically provide 90% of Australia's TV and radio comedy for the…

No, that was Australian sarcasm there.  But I do get excited about genuinely good Australian films.

I will see every film this guy ever makes on the basis of Chopper.  But then I am Australian so I will see every film this guy ever makes on the basis that he's Australian.
