I mean booooooo

They begged me to tell them my skincare routine and asked if I used things like retinol. What the fuck is retinol?

I KNOW! Not only super racist, but also it was just winged black eyeliner and red lipstick. I’ll DM you a photo. It made me laugh at the absolute ridiculousness of it as a way of trying to create petty drama

(Rest rest rest! Feel better soon x)

This wasn’t the icky bit, but someone I didn’t know was bitching about me online after it, claiming I was wearing “kabuki makeup” 💀

I’m sorry to hear, but it’s obv the next taping you go to will be for your own show 😘

It was definitely a great escape while there was no drama around it

The last one I went to was in 2011. It left a bad taste in my mouth and I’m sad my last experience of a taping was bad

Pfft what would they know? Home was boring.

I know I said this before, but that late 00s/early 10s era of tapings was such a strange little microcosm of obscure fandoms.

That’s most likely correct and probably true for most Australian comedy shows.

My parents had the DVDs but I only got into it after becoming a huge fan of Get This in 2006

Make a hat out of cheese!

I was late to The Late Show party (given I was a literal baby when it first aired), but damn if this hasn’t been permanently in my head for YEARS

Alongside “photocopy your bum and bake it in a cake. Send it to the Pope and ask him if he’ll tongue kiss your Mum”

I totally get this. They aren’t always good memories. But the good ones are like a warm hug

While I wasn’t at the same show tapings as you (apart from the one I have no memory of lmao), reading your recollections of key songs triggered mine. It’s amazing how you can be immediately transported back to a time by one song
