For all the ruptured bladders and aching jaws, we hold these comedians, characters and clowns responsible.
Matt Brown
NSW Police Minister recently sacked for dancing on a couch in his undies at a Parliament House shindig. Now available for hen parties.
“Baby” Jon Burgess
For 12 years, we tuned into Wheel of Fortune for his witty repartee. And by witty repartee, we mean Adriana Xenides.
Steve Irwin
Dangled his kid in front of crocs for the amusement of audiences. A true entertainer.
Graham Kennedy
Banned from live TV in 1975 for his impression of a crow (“Faaaaaark”). Trust us, it was wild then.
Todd McKenney
Found unconscious in a park with GHB in his pocket, the Dancing with the Stars judge claimed his drink was spiked, and the drugs were put in his trouser pockets when he was dancing pantless.
Platypus
This egg-laying, web-footed, duck-billed, venomous mammal is proof God has a sense of humour, and takes acid.
Jabba the Hutt
Before the birth of Kyle Sandilands, the Star Wars sloth gave us something lardy and grotesque to poke fun at.
Richie Benaud
Commentary-box wisecracks such as, “And Glenn McGrath dismissed for two, just 98 runs short of his century,” earn him his place here.
Your best man
If he’s not hilarious, get someone else on the job.
James Mathieson
Of course, this is in comparison to Andrew G, you understand.
Sam Kekovich
His deadpan deliveries, with the sign off, “You know it makes sense. I’m Sam Kekovich,” made for great rants on The Fat, and moved more lamb chops than a NZ abattoir worker.
Tim Rogers
You Am I frontman smacked Mark Holden at Adelaide airport in 2003 for “looking at him funny”. Can we see that tape, please? In slow-motion?
