Get This: Difference between revisions

 

 

 

''Get This'' was an Australian Radio show that aired on the Triple M network from 2006 to 2007. It started off as a 1 hour show but was upgraded to 2 hours in 2007. The show was hosted by Tony Martin and Ed Kavalee (with Richard Marsland on the buttons). A guest host came in each day (only for the 2nd hour during '07). Despite the show growing in popularity and increasing [[Ratings]], the show was axed at the end of 2007 making it [[Too Good to Last]].

 

* [[The Ahnold]]: Tony's Arnold Schwarzenegger impression would sometimes get a run.

* [[Amusing Injuries]]: Ooh Me Plums!

* [[Ass Shove]]: Richard's alleged [[Unusual Euphemism|flag-waving antics]] are documented in an interview with then-Prime Minister John Howard in Podcast 51.

* [[As You Know]]: "Hi, I'm Richard..."

* [[Bait and Switch]]

* [[Bested At Bowling]]: or at table tennis, as the case turned out to be.

* [[Digging Yourself Deeper]]

* [[Disorganized Outline Speech]]: most things that fell out of Ed's mouth (that weren't half-eaten sandwiches).

* [[Dodgy Toupee]]: At the end of Podcast 96, a whole segment is dedicated to ranking the dodgiest hairpieces in the movie business.

Tony: And he'll often just wear a [[wikipedia:Tony Mokbel|Mokbel]] for a whole movie. ''National Treasure'', what was going on there? }}

* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]

**** Your body is a wonderland...

***** Flowers, flowers drifting by the paa-aaane! In mah dreams, so sweet, flowers red, blue and piii-iink!

* [[Executive Meddling]]: The hosts often discussed, on-air, notes and "suggestions" the higher-ups tried to give them.

** An example in Podcast 107 was when the higher-ups at Triple M criticized them for not generating enough "watercooler talk", this only resulted in several sketches involving two blokes standing around discussing an actual water cooler.

* [[Everybody Owns a Ford]]: ...or a Mercedes Benz Vito. Or a Nissan Navara.

* [[Fake Brit]]: One of the funniest parts of Ooh Me Plums (Besides the whole Groin injuries in polite society thing).

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]

* [[Follow Up Failure]]

* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: In one 2007 show, Richard Marsland makes fun of newsreader Charmaine Dragun's unusual name. Both Marsland and Dragun have since fallen victim to depression and committed suicide.

*** Exactly 12 minutes into Podcast 52, Tony plays the sound of a heavy rain storm and taunts "How do you like that, Brisbane?" Cue the Queensland floods of 2011, where Brisbane was massively devistated.

* [[Grand Finale]]

* [[In a World]]: The Districts Swiftest Indian parodies this.

* [[Insane Proprietor]]: A semi-regular topic of discussion on the show. And Track 2 of ''Illegal Download'' discusses the inherent problems in dealing with someone insane enough to deliver such brain snapping bargains.

Tony: You knew what you were getting into when you saw the ad. }}

* [[Memetic Mutation]]:

* Ratings

* [[Quote Mine]]

* [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud]]: Pfffft! Splunk! Flumph! Or most memorably, [[Accidental Innuendo|WANK!]]

* [[Spiritual Successor]]: ''Get This'' has one in the form of Nova FM's ''Summer Lovin' Podcast'', which started in mid-December 2010 and is hosted by Tony and Ed, with Matt Dower producing.

** And in 2011, Tony and Ed hosted ''[[The Joy Of Sets]]'', with can best be described as ''[[Get This]]'' [[X Meets Y|meets]] ''[[The Soup]]''.

* [[Unusual Euphemism]]
