New series starts August 5th.

I love this show, It's always good for a belly laugh.

[p38arover]

"After a decade in the wilderness, Russell is back".

I can see the Toymota crowd picking up on that - Owing a Land Rover will see you stranded for that long!

[Chops]

It’ll be good 😉

Russell Coight driving a Defender 300tdi....

Everyone is just getting on the Defender band wagon [tonguewink][tonguewink]

[87County]

it's quite a straight-looking example, neater than average shut lines etc

[shack]

Im a bit annoyed there were no defender jokes,I thought at the very least he would have had trouble locating the battery to jump start the van, or even when he washed it, would have been good if fifty litres of water had run out when he opened the door...
Anyone else notice any obvious missed gags?

[p38arover]

Anyone else notice any obvious missed gags?

I made one last week in the other Russell Coight thread.

BTW, when did LR move the Defender battery to the engine bay? :)

[p38arover]

Maybe there were no LR jokes because the programme sponsor was LR.

[Chops]

I missed it,,, umm 😐 I fell asleep in the chair [bawl]

[67hardtop]

I missed it,,, umm [emoji52] I fell asleep in the chair [bawl]U missed NOTHING!

[p38arover]

That's why we record everything (and to FF through the adverts).

[PhilipA]

I have to say I thought it was pretty puerile and turned off after about 15 minutes after the Kombi ran away. Seemed like a waste of a good Kombi to me.
The pull front off Commodore has been done to death in the past.
He is a bit of a one trick pony.

There’s a battery in the engine bay!! ;)

[Zeros]

He’s a ****. Which is what he’s trying to be. ..but despite the weak, outmoded, Aussie outback cliche humour, he does Defender owners no favours and just represents the worst traits of Aussie bogan bushinability. The days of poor quality quirky Aussie humour are long gone. Coight needs to vanish quickly into the embarrassingly self-conscious annals of Croc Dundee and Priscilla.

[loanrangie]

You realise they aim for all that zeros ?

[Zeros]

You realise they aim for all that zeros ?

Ah...yup. As I said, despite it being deliberate it’s complete rubbish. Better examples of the genre are, The Castle and Kath & Kim, but they’re tired too. ...time to move on from cringe as humour. It had its day.

[manic]

Oi, croc dundee is a ledge! Cant wait for CDIIII - Crocodile Dundee in Shanghai, feat Jackie Chan and Hulk Hogan.

We have youtube these days, maybe Zeros can film a funnier Coyt! Wouldnt be hard.

I missed the new episode, but I was hoping the show would evolve. Sounds like same old sillyness.

[Eevo]

rather watch coight than any of that reality tv rubush

[Landy Smurf]

I loved it. Yes its predicable and yes it is the same old same old. However, it is different to a lot of other stuff on tv. For some reason the hand shakes when it's someone else's hand has me in stitches.

So true!

However when watching the first episode of the new series I did cringe when I saw Russel attach a snatch-strap to the tow ball of his car, given the many cases of people being injured in that scenario when the tow ball breaks. It didn't seem that particular action was done as satire.

yes, my housemate can attest to this, when i saw that, i jumped up and down shouting no no no no no!

[DazzaTD5]

I think some of you take it too seriously.
I hate the show personally BUT I wont miss a chance to see a Defender on tv/video/etc....
AND there was plenty of the Defender!!

There seems to be a neutral product placement as I never heard any mention of "Landie" "Land Rover" only ref I heard was to "vehicle"

So did I.

I actually expected to see the towball go through the car window, not the car front ripped off.

Would have been a much better lesson to all concerned if they had shown what can actually happen when you use the ball.

[DazzaTD5]

ok ok you know what its winning me over!! some of the bits I missed

pulling car out of sand..
"all thats needed is some diesel power"
and the mighty Defender ripped not just the bumper but the whole front end...

thats gold, love it

Woo Wooo ease up there mate! ... this is about the Defender and not so much about that other thing he used to drive!

[p38arover]

What was the red/orange light in the instrument panel?

Also, it's obvious Defender hand brakes don't work! :D

[Pickles2]

I watched the last episode, but wasn't impressed,...no need for the number of times his "privates" got involved etc.
But, if I'm around, and there's nothing better on, I'll probably give it another go.

I'm dreading him destroying that Defender, as he is such a disaster area.

I braved 10 mins of Coight today. It's ****e. Funniest thing is that I'd also just braved 10 mins of All 4 Adventure. ...hard to tell the difference! dorks in thongs being stupid.

[RANDLOVER]

I like hearing all his stupid sayings like "... in the Outback most animals are nocturnal, and most of the others only come out at night".

is it sad that i read that in his voice?

[ramblingboy42]

All I can say is he must have a very tough set of knackers.....just about every scene something belts him in the jewels.....I watched episode 1...it was enough.

Last night he fancies his backside.
Each time I flicked to it he had his pants down.
Hasnt got used to the Defender handbrake yet.

He took it out. Kept pulling his daks down.[bigwhistle]

Hi all

My wife and I did think his last episode was funny. Most of the "accidents" he has are predictable but it builds up to them with the right amount of anticipation. As an example, with the indigenous painting we KNEW he was going to spill that pain can all over her painting. We just didn't know exactly when or how. When he pulled out the bogged car with the snatch strap, that result did take us by surprise. Oh and the star picket driver, I didn't quite know what he would do to himself, I just knew that in his hands it's dangerous. It's not superb comedy, that style of comedy is a bit dated, but we think overall it's funny and enjoyable.

ha, i didnt see the paint can coming.
and ive never seen a motorised star picket driver before.

Hi

For fencing on my farm I use a manual picket driver which is a steel tube with some concrete in the end and two handles on it. I've looked at the motorised ones. Lifting a running petrol engine with a percussion end on it to just above my head height is beyond me. I can't think how anyone could consider that a a good idea. Professional fencers and many farmers though do use them. If I tried to use one I'd end up like Coight :-)

I use a manual one but if I were doing a lot a pneumatic one would be a lot better.

Hi Vehicle yes best thing on the show, the rest doesn't tickle my laugh button. I don't find him funny.

The best thing about this show is the televisions' OFF switch.

[austastar]

Hi,
I find him hard work to watch, some how the scripted comedy falls flat or is old hack or just not funny.
Perhaps Hoges needs to have some input.
Cheers
