How do you decribe the indescribable?
You don’t. You simply introduce -
The Umbilical Brothers,

Hilarious! I didn’t know you had Aussie rednecks.
There are more of the Umbilical Brothers in a couple of weeks – A very funny pair.
Lovely to see that talent is abounding ….. excellent Archie – thank you
Some of these clips will amuse and some will exasperate – different nations laugh at different things
I’ve seen these guys before, but it’s always a joy to see them again. Bloody hilarious, mate. Very clever. This is one of my favourites:
Gary, I very nearly used that skit. I’ll probably use it in Series 2. There is more Umbilical Bros in Episode 4 of this series. Episode 3 are those sisters from Esk in Queensland again. I can understand their humour not travelling well, although I believe they went down well in the Edinborough Fringe. From episode 5 things really start to improve
I think I’d actually find it a little strange if their humour wasn’t “understood” here in the UK, Archie. I know some Australian humour doesn’t, for some strange reason, translate all that well for the majority, but these guys seem very much in the vein of British comedy. I love the Arnold Schwarzenegger skit, too! Hard to imagine anyone — Americans included — not getting that one!
I’ll be interested in your reactions to later episodes
I’ve just posted something you might enjoy.
