Did Anyone Watch Bogan Hunters Last Night?

I can't imagine how poor Tasmanians must have felt. Lots of reference to inbreeding, rotten teeth,mullets, and a bottle in everyones hand.

I thought Housos was bad enough but Paul Fenech and ch 7 have hit an all-time low with this one!

Some comments from twitter:

“The consequences of #2014Budget have already begun,” noted one twitterer, as Fenech’s televised hunt for “Australia’s biggest bogan" prodded and poked the first of it its car-loving, pot-smoking, dentally challenged subjects.

“If you want to see why welfare funding should be cut then watch Bogan Hunters,” tweeted another viewer. And another: “Hope they cut the dole of every single one of these dope-smoking, welfare-cheating dickheads.”

hubs thought it hilarious, I had to walk away

ugh my man wanted to watch it but I conveniently forgot to remind him it was on.

I don't get the hype around houso's or now this bogan show, sad people that I can't even bring myself to laugh at.

It's bad enough having to deal with them and be professional and treat them with respect 😕

*that sounds so snobbish, I have no problem dealing with people regardless of their looks or income.....it's these I'm a **bleep** and I'm proud of it people that irk me.

I lasted about 5 minutes! I was quite gobsmacked with the guy who had his children's names and DOB's tattooed to his arms so that when he is in Centrelink, he has those details handy if they ask!

i find those shows funny for about 5 minutes, not because its offensive, its just not terribly original. Lets please remember its humour, and despite disguising itself as a 'reality' show its not very accurate. I've been on Centrelink payments before & certainly was not proud of it, neither are some of my friends who are on them. Whilst some stereotypes are based in reality, its a small percentage of people that reflect badly on the rest of the group.

I highly disagree!

Working bogans are out there in force too.

I thought a gross invasion of privacy making fun of these people to sell their bad taste television.

hubs wants to watch Jonah from Tonga tonight, see how it goes. I went off Chris Lilley a bit with his Jam'ie

i loved Summer Heights High, but he needs some new ideas instead of recycling the same stuff, have not found the new Jonah series funny really

interestingly, repeat of the first series of 'Upper Middle Bogan' on abc atm, much funnier show imo
