This has been egtting a bit of press down under.

Interesting piece in todays paper with some US rapper's feedback.

Has this aired stateside yet? whats the verdict?

I havent had time to check his new series, some say its funny, others say he's lost the magic. He did portray a Pacific Islander teenager in Summer Heights High with a slight make up tan added and no one said anything about it then although this is a bit more obvious blackface....

I thought Angry Boys would grow on me, but I got bored with it real quick. Summer Heights High was way better because I think LIlley's affinity with and ability to concentrate on the three characters played out better. I had a read of the SMH thing and honestly, i don't find the Smouse thing particularly funny or offensive.
 
I thought this song was the funniest thing that S.Mouse did in the series. And it's not that good.
 
i think chris lilley is a comedic genius and i love angry boys. that being said s.mouse is my least favorite character on the series only due to poor execution of american english. just my 2 cents.





peace, stein. . .:)
 
How much different is this from Ali G or the usual white comedian as rapper formula?

First, Ali G is actually funny. Second he's pretending to be a white man who thinks he's black, not a black man.





I don't watch this dude cause I've never found him particularly funny. Ali G gets away with stuff because he's very funny, but you could argue that Borat is way more racist than this S.Mouse thing, but who cares about offending Kazakhs, right?

Maybe it would be if you went to London and met some white, middle-class English 16 yr-olds talking patois.


Maybe not.





What is funny is that Ali G was a piss-take of this phenomenom (duh-duh duh-duh-duh), and it almost seems that when kids saw Ali G, it somehow validated the 'black' accent/attitude thing - it definitely seems more prevalent since the show got popular.

















b/w that S.mouse thing isn't funny
