Scraping your own arse on hot ashpalt is funnier than Wil Anderson.

Yep - I'll happily go along with all three of those but Kitson's a fave.

I saw his "It's the Fireworks Talking" show at the last festival (for which he won the Barry) and walked out thinking that the world was actually an amazingly good and interesting place. Floated along for about a week after that.

Carlton 2012: Lets remind them why they once feared the Dark.

I don't know if he's funny or not, I can never hear his jokes over his own laughter.

ditto, i thought something of a grag swann type defection had happened. i couldnt give a continental about this hack. what next?

AGREE.

i was never a fan of Peter Hellier, but Straughnie has grown on me.

and that was pretty much becuase of the Whitten Game - that was a pisser when he gave the bloke (Burkey i think it was) a serve for not hitting him lace out

I'm not going to argue if he's funny or not - that's too subjective to touch.

But Strauchanie is a clown. The whole shtick is how useless he is. We and Hellier are laughing at the pitiful loser*. That might be a valid part of the Collingwood brand, but not Carlton.

(* Well, those who think it's funny are laughing)

Making our club or a (phony) Carlton player into a pathetic joke is not what I'm about and is not what this club should be about. We don't need publicity that badly. We are The Old Dark Navy Blues, not Dannii Miinogue.

I'm proud of my club and I hate to see it debased like this.
If that makes me precious, you can cut the corners off my head, put me on a gold ring and give me to your missus.

doesnt straunie remind u of a dodgey ricky gervais from the office and while im at it rove as conan obrien, not very original. peter hellier might be a good bloke but he is a shit comedian ones i have seen at the comedy festival that i think are great are daniel kitson, dimitre martin, arj barker, stephan k amos, out of the aussies i like adam hills.

I don't mind Strauchnie as a recruit...

The two local primary schools had a Dad's footy game a few weeks back. One of the Dad's wore a Strauchnie wig for the match. Every time he got near the ball the kids from both schools went nuts and were yelling out

.

I think he will bring quite a bit of good publicity for the club. He tends to take the piss out of himself rather the club.

Good point about Strauchanies attempted modelling of himself on Gervais

Gervais is a comedic genius though- what Id pay to see him live GWS!

He was very funny on SEN this arvo; saying how he followed the Doggies as a kid; but got drafted by Collingwood and had to make the best of it.
