borkoboardo To start off: Full Frontal is neither innovative, nor ultra-funny, nor super-sophisticated... in fact the show can be seen as a rip off of many formats that have preceded. But there is one thing that makes it original: it's Australian - to the core!Yes, you're reading right, I'm Austrian, not Australian, and I picked up this show when I visited this lovely country in the mid-1990'ies. I wasn't that impressed when I first saw it but I smelled a certain irony in the air which charmingly dropped from the grid of rather generic jokes. This irony mirrors the development of the country's national identity in many ways.Reflecting current issues and making fun of it, add the Australian spirit to the whole thing - it became rather understandable to me how most Australians actually tick. And after some episodes I didn't just like it - I ended up loving it. Full Frontal particularly shines with reoccurring topics such as Milo Kerrigan, David McGahan's World, The Netty Show, Fabio's Love Tips or stupid commercials (which most likely mock an ad recently on TV) which gave the characters depth and room for a little bit of unpredictability. At the same time it had a solid balance between outback-slapstick-humor and taking a charming poke at politics. Every show is basically the same: you, the viewer, are switching through TV channels for 42min - what you are about to see is obviously odd but somehow related to what people really encounter in their daily program - so the makers suggest that everything on TV is stupid. This show was the cradle for many great careers of the participating actors, at he head Eric Bana and Shaun Micallef. It was definitely the chemistry between all these incredibly creative and versatile people that made this show so special. Full Frontal is with no doubt a chronicle of Australian humor history, not only because it was so extensive, it also never struggled or aspired to be a historical gemstone but by doing what they wanted that's what it became.Definitely worth a peek!!!
chris89 Full Frontal's most effective accomplishment is establishing the camera's voyeuristic nature. The camera portrays some imagery abstractly, mainly by shooting some scenes out of focus and/or on grainy film, bringing itself to the attention of the viewer. Often, the camera also tracks back to reveal a "bigger picture", reestablishing its actors as the same subjects of a film within the film. Acting in this manner in several scenes (yet inconsistently throughout the film), the camera reveals several films within the film and aims at tricking viewers and, ultimately, at showing its ability to force viewers to shift their perspective between fictional representations of truths (the initially perceived film) and the staging of fictional representations of truths (the film within the film). What ultimately results from the camera's overall split and unreliable "recording and reporting patterns" is an uncertainty over the narrative validity of a film whose narrator (the camera) hides the true identity of its players and exploits the irresoluteness of their games. In this sense, the viewer may argue that the camera itself seems to suffer from the same identity crisis as its subjects: a crisis that fails to transmit a clear picture of its narrative and visual identity.Chris
ryan8024 This is the funniest Australian made show ever (with the possible exception of some episodes of Fast Forward).They were a lot better ever since they started making fun of shows, as well as the usual stuff. Australian National Nightly Network News, is possibly the funniest part of the show.It's just a pity they didn't just end the show after the good writers left. You have to admire them for trying to revive the humor and rename the show to Totally Full Frontal, but it just didn't work.But that dosen't mean that we can't still get the video tapes out, or put on the comedy channel (on cable) and watch old re-runs of it, and still be able to laugh at them. i've seen the entire series at least three times (some four), and i am still laughing at (most of) the jokes.Lets just hope that there are other comedians in this country, just waiting for the right moment to start another series like this, and make us laugh all over again.
HugoBall This is one of the best Australian comedies ever. The sketches are hilarious and every time you watch an episode again you'll notice even more jokes you may have missed the first time. The second series "Totally Full Frontal" is still funny but not as funny as the original series. If you can, see every episode! You won't be disappointed.
