Yes, I am an Australian, but Steve Irwin's Crocodile Hunter show has never actually been shown here in his home country... until tonight...

Strewth! Steve bloody Irwin, by crikey! by DexX 9-16-01

-- Crocadoile 'Unna -- G'day! Oi'm Steve Irwin, and by croikey 'ave me woife an Oi gotta beaut show for yas tonoight... Yeah! He's Steve Irwin, all right! He sure is! Woah-wee, is he _ever_ Steve Irwin! Later on in the show, Oi'll be danglin' me love spuds in the mouth of a great whoite shark! Strewth! This is bloody dangerous! ...but first, Oi'm gunna see just how far Oi c'n take this ludicrous exaggeration of me 'Strayan accent, boi croikey! How far? How far can he take it? He's Steve Irwin! He'll exaggerate it further than anyone else would ever dare! Just you watch him!

What the fuck is up with that accent? I get the feeling there is some studio suit just off-camera saying "More Australian, Steve! No, no, more Australian! More than that!"

He needs his own character, doesn't he?

Is it exaggerated? That's how I've read every one of your posts in my head since I've come here. In fact, my mind's eye saw this thread as Ma firs Sterwin Sperence.

There's a goad chehnce oi moight doi!

While watching it, I kept swinging between laughter, disgust, and disbelief. The voiceovers and straight-to-camera introductory pieces were the worst...

As I said to LadyJ on ICQ last night - he's the Australian equivalent of an Irish person wandering about saying, "Ah faith and begorrah, t' be sure, t' be sure..."

Self-referential disclaimer, ostensibly comical. by boorite 3-16-01

Legal counsel advises you to issue this statement. "The preceding was satire. Crocodile Hunter has not fired nor plans to fire, up his backside or any other orifice, an explosive rocket containing live snakes." He really hasn't, has he? No. Shame, innit?
