...plus the relatively hesitant presentation of the cob to begin with just makes this perfect.

Even better that this is Kim Beazley, Deputy Prime Minister of Australia in 95/96, then leader of the opposition from 96 to 2001, losing the 99 election despite winning the popular vote. Part of the Labor (left wing) party.
This video really sums up Australia in the late 90’s

Spot on. That's our video - think it's the first stunt we did, probably from an early ep of The Chaser Decides or CNNNN. Whoever made the gif swiped this from our TikTok without attribution (we don't mind if you share our vids guys, but make sure you at least credit us!)

I rewatched all of The Chaser's War last year during the Melbourne lockdown, had me feeling angry at how much Australian politics has changed. The Beetoota is alright but fuck me sideways the comedic bravery of The Chaser is unparalleled.

The guy behind him is better. He looks defeated, barely reacts to it. “Ya, that’s a cob of corn, I guess...”

I dunno, there was a hint of shade thrown in that sideways glance of his toward to the cob-holder.
The lady on the other hand fixes her gaze on the corn with an expression like a brick wall - stoic, unyielding.

True story. Woman walks into my friend's courthouse. Searches bag, finds dildo. Her explanation: C'mon, it's court, you know how boring it gets here.
A few weeks later she's back. No dildo. Friend says what, no little friend this time?
She shoots back: See that bottle of Pert? Works good in a pinch.4

What I find better after watching it about 20 times is the way the person holding the corn urges the “mic” as if to ask “Are you going to answer the question?”

Sad Guy in the back is about to cry. Him and Corn Guy have a rivalry not unlike the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote. After a series of increasingly ludicrous showdowns, Sad Guy thought he was finally going to make it through an event without Corn Guy interfering. And then...
