Police Academy (1984) - for a long time, if you wanted to insinuate that someone was going off to do something "gay" you just had to hum the Blue Oyster Bar theme thune #policeacademy #80smovies #blueoysterbar

Peacemaker (Season 2) - I love a show that lets the one off background characters have a banger of a scene #peacemaker #hbomax #featuredplayers

The Perfect Couple (Miniseries / Netflix) - Was talking with my mum the other day about how much we enjoy a good netflix murder mystery binge, but also how quickly you forget what actually happened in it. #theperfectcouple #netflix #IshaanKhatter

Glee (Season 3) - It is impossible for me to rewatch this series, I recall hatewatching most of it back in the day, but when they had a banger, they had a banger. This is still on my gym playlist. #glee #survivor #Iwillsurvive #mashup

Sandylands (Season 1) - I have never heard such an apt description of a male strip show #sandylands #harrietwebb #dreamboys

Song Sung Blue (2025) - It is not often than a movie that I had no idea was in production, drops a trailer about people I've never heard of (I have heard of Neil Diamond, just not Lighting and Thunder) and makes me go "What is THIS? I NEED to see it!" #songsungblue #neildiamond #musicalmovie

The Breaker Upperers (2018) - I'm a big fan of joke toppers, when you have a great line and then immediately add in a bit extra. The scissoring and sound effects are wonderfully extra #thebreakerupperers #kiwimovies #MadelineSami #JackievanBeek

Schmigadoon (AppleTV) - this made me look up miscegenation at the time, and ah yeah that sounds like something that some in the US will try to ban again in the not too distant future. #schmigadoon #appletv #kristinchenowith #themusicman

The Naked Gun (2025) - Some of us still have the entire 7 season DVD box set, which was 6 DVDs a season in two collectors boxes, and it was expensive to get them all, but totally worth it, even if literally everything I watch is digital right now and I am not sure if my ps5 could even play a DVD.

Dreaming Whilst Black - Fetus Envy would be a pretty good name for a combo though, or a band. #dreamingwhilstblack #AdjaniSalmon

Mean Mums (Season 1) - I'm enjoying this little peek into the rivalry of mums with this kiwi show. Yet how annoying is it when you try to choose a username on a video game and "this is already taken". Name your child after anyone, but there can't be two Jules69?! #meanmums #kiwitv #babynames

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Netflix) - Tea or Coffee can be drunk out of anything, but drinking vodka out of a mug feels somehow like rock bottom, moreso than just swigging it from the bottle #unbreakablekimmyschmidt #tinafey #netflix

Mary and George (Miniseries) - The entire cast in this show (which I just realised I have not finished) is spectacular, as is the writing, but Nicola Walker was a scene stealer as Elizabeth Hatton #maryandgeorge #NicholasGalitzine #NicolaWalker #JulianneMoore

Schmigadoon (AppleTV) - I enjoy the little hyperfixation nod at the beginning there. I have an overwhelming urge to get tropical fish for some reason, but the idea of constantly changing the water is just...ugh. #schmigadoon #appletv #tvmusical

Only in Aoteroa (Season 1 / Maori+) - I would love to have seen the dialect coaching for this. #onlyinaotearoa #sketchshow #kiwitv

The Goes Wrong Show (Season 1) - Necessity is the mother of invention. The wallpaper bit is my favourite. #thegoeswrongshow #localtheatre

Transaction (Season 1) - I'm a simple man with simple dreams, and one of them is to be on a scenic train trip with Francesca Mills and Jordan Gray in the seats behind me, and I am listening in on their bantz. #transactionitv #francescamills #jordangray

Stargate SG-1 (Season 1) - this is from episode 5 and this is their explanation as to why so many alien planets look like a forest near Vancouver. Alien planets are all about Canadian tax breaks. #stargate #tyneheadpark #syfy

Tinā (2025) - I was already enjoying the movie, but it was at this point I fell in love with it. I often forget how good kiwi music has been at times. #tinathefilm#anapelapolataivao #antoniarobinson #kiwifilms #crowdedhouse

Bridesmaids (2011) - "Sink's a goner" is still the funniest thing to say when you come back to your table at a restaurant. #bridesmaidsmovie #melissamccarthy #sinksagoner

Kpop Demon Hunters (2025) - if you are an "elder millennial" who was a massive fan of Jem and the Holograms, and you have not yet watched Kpop Demon Hunters, consider this your sign. #kpopdemonhunters #jemandtheholograms #trulyoutrageous #netflix

Mitchell And Webb Are Not Helping - We had this in New Zealand too, hadn't thought about it in years, they really were awful, but you'd still eat them because sometimes they would be the big ones. I wouldn't be surprised if bluebird/eta still do this. I'm all about the snackachangi nowadays.

Blackadder Goes Fourth - It can't be understated the impact this show had on the sarcasm levels on several generations. We'd do this in real life, constantly, the more elaborate the answer, the funnier it got. Well at least that is what it felt like at the time. #blackadder #rowanatkinson #sarcasm

The Naked Gun (2025)

Supersizers Go - Medieval - as a hefty eater myself, I can't say I have ever heard the term trencherman. There is also no way that I would not the trencher at the end #supersizers #medievalfood #sueperkins

Scary Movie 4 (2006) - For me, this is such a good spoof movie joke, where even if you haven't seen the movie they are spoofing, you quickly understand what must have happened in the original and then they just build on top of that. Of course having Anna Faris as well certainly helps #scarymovie4

The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) - the movie is about a eccentric, rich superfan who reunites his favourite rock folk duo to stay and perform a private concert on a remote rural island. It is a story of love, grief, vulnerability and acceptance and this bit had me weeping.

Saved By The Bell - one of my favourite call backs, the 90s and 00s really did have those 30 year old teens in all the shows and movies. Though at the rate GenZ is aging, this joke might not work anymore... :P #savedbythebell #spf50

Little Britain - I recall thinking at the time, that if I go to a really fancy resturant, I would do this. I assumed that it wouldn't work as well at Cobb n Co. #littlebritain #finedining

The Mindy Project - I love how in that expression she basically just said "um there is no way it couldn't be a compliment" #themindyproject #mindykaling #drip

The Great British Bakeoff - When the voiceover says "bakers shouldn't do this" and immediately cuts to a baker doing that, RIGHT AT THE START. Oh its delicious. In saying all that, I'd put money on Tom being in the top 3, and definitely best hair in the tent this year. #GBBO #fondantfancy

My favourite thing to do with a new season of Great British Bake off is to try and figure out who is a secret Tory. #gbbo

Eddie Izzard: Dress to Kill (1998) - I forgot how much I LOVED this line. I think I did it as a bit for my entire early 20s. You're a plumber? What on EAAARTH is that. Brilliant. #dresstokill #standup #royalfamily #eddieizzard #suzyizzard

The Naked Gun (2025) - I adored this movie, I hope it heralds a new spoof movie renaissance, the jokes were thick and fast and a fantastic mix of old favourites and brand new ones #thenakedgun #spoofmovie #liamneeson #pamelaanderson

Deathgasm (2015) - there are some scenes that can only be pulled off with a kiwi accent and attitude. Unspeakable horrors from beyond have to really put in the effort when confronted with jaded millenials. #deathgasm #milocawthorne #horrorcomedy

Pushing Daisies (2007-2009) - I could have done with another 3 seasons of this, and a few more KChen numbers #pushingdaisies #KristinChenoweth #hopelesslydevoted

The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025) - I realised earlier this week that I might have been missing out on the romantic comedy drama genre, due to watching some terrible netflix ones, and only recently discovering wonderful indie ones.

Mafia! (1998) - How to react when introduced to someone's conservative family member #mafia #spoofmovie #christinaapplegate

Sunshine on Leith (2013) - this is one of those "just for me" videos. Not sure if its the copyright or just the video itself, but always gets way less views that my other videos whenever I put a version up, but I watch it over and over when I do and I love it #sunshineonleith #theproclaimers

Dangerous Liasions (1988) - this is such a magnificent line, I wondered if it was from the original 18th century novel, turns out it was adapted in the 1985 play by Christopher Hampton and then on to the movie. Glenn Close giving the performance of her life here #dangerousliasions #glennclose

Mr Bigstuff (2024 - ) It is understandable, am I depressed or am I just really needing to watch this entire season of Buffy? #mrbigstuff #uktv #whynotboth

Valley Girl (2020) - it was a bit of a fly under the radar movie, like a lot of movies that came out in 2020 (you know why) but it was a fun throwback and I enjoyed it start to finish #valleygirl #jukeboxmusical

Upload (Prime Video) - urge to use "give it to me Papa" as a pickup line is high #upload #primevideo

Cinderella (2021) - this popped up on my memories and I remember not paying much attention to this movie as I think I let negative press turn me off it and I recall loathing the 2015 live action version so figured this was much the same, but no, jukebox musical with Idina Menzel! I enjoyed a lot.

The Prince (HBO Max) - still how I choose to remember the queen #theprince #royalfamily #que2

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Netflix) - the joke density in this series is off the chart. Both jokes perfectly encapsulate the characters and compliment each other. And of course, the peformances, perfect. #unbreakablekimmyschmidt #netflix

Will be just in time for my holiday, thanks @janicehallett.bsky.social

The latest No Man's Sky Patch is pretty much the one I have been wating for, crusing around the galaxy in my space campervan #nomanssky #vanlife

Psychob*tches - I bet Audrey herself would have loved this sketch. #psychobtches #audreyhepburn #manicpixiedreamgirl #samanthaspiro #rebeccafront
