Summer heights rapidshare

The Herald Sun reported that parents and some teachers have considered the possibility that the show is influencing children to misbehave at school.

The reason why Summer Heights High is untouchable is obvious: even the people happy to throw Chris Lilley under a bus today want to defend it.

This supposedly savage takedown of Lilley from a few months ago lays out the score:. He was an enviable mimic, and one whose comedy was steeped in the dry pathos of a form that had gone from Spinal Tap , to Working Dog, to David Brent, and beyond. Jonah is fleshed out: look at this moment when he is sad about failing school. Friends, God help you if you laugh at the same things as a 14 year old when you are anything but.

And yet this is exactly what happens in this article: Summer Heights High is mentioned as being his older, funnier stuff, and then the writer goes on to slam Angry Boys and Jonah from Tonga for all the exact same problems SHH has. So Summer Heights High remains untouchable, despite being as deeply problematic — and generally unfunny — as anything else Chris Lilley has done. Chris Lilley sort of reminds me of Ricky Gervais each new thing he does as well being diminishing returns it reveals the weaknesses of their earlier stuff and there lack of range.

I think Lilley is a good comedy character actor with a chequered history as a writer. I think he is stuck between two eras but I presume making enough money not to care. I agree with your article but are there ever really anniversary stories or celebrations for comedy shows? It will be interesting to see if he comes back or just lives off those DVD sales for the rest of his life. Facebook Like us on Facebook.

User reviews 17 Review. Top review. Extremely down-to-earth and undeniably hilarious. When I've heard about this when it first appeared,I was thinking it was going to be as pathetic and dumb like 'Neighbours' on TV if you're a foreinger who hasn't seen the TV show Neighbours,don't watch it anyway, it's very horrible ,but when I got Summer Heights High on DVD,I was completely wrong,it was excellent. Reasons why: 1. The main characters,Jonah,a delinquent break dancing problem child, Mr. Gee,an ego-driven gay Drama teacher with delusional showbiz dreams,and Ja'mie,a high-class bitchy private school girl on a student exchange were VERY clever,witty and laugh-out-loud funny.

Non of their talents in the show have declined,they were just perfect. The humour. Greatly hilarious. The jokes never got old,they were modern. I definitely recommend this show to anyone who loves Australian comedy and something realistic. Details Edit. Release date November 9, United States. Princess Pictures. Technical specs Edit.
