    Thanks Perez! This show is awesome!

  24. Marcus Aurelius says – reply to this


    24

    Perez, Why don't you just TELL us what it's about. Give us a synopsis. Showing us a guy appearing to be dressed as a girl is just going to scare alot of people off. Gays may be cool with it, and think it's hilarious, but not everyone wants to see guys prancing around in wigs and skirts. (I am gay, & MAY find the show watchable, but I am being considerate of other people for whom this may not be their forte.)

  25. liz says – reply to this


    25

    that looks like jonathan rhys-meyers

  26. CorBlimeyLimey says – reply to this


    26

    C'mon Pervez you gotta be kidding? That's a dude? You need a new frame of reference coz it ain't that hard. Stop looking in the mirror so much and you'll not be so confused.

    Anyway BBC3 is where they put all the repeats and shit stuff so I'll not be watching. And what's with the nod to the BBC? You trying to endear yourself over here. I don't think you'll get another visa anyhow. So TTFN and don't come back.

  27. j'amie king says – reply to this

    i love j'amie king!!!

  28. Kim in Texas says – reply to this


    28

    That's almost a sweet as when Little Britain came ova!!! What can I say? I love the gays!!!

  29. Marcus Aurelius says – reply to this


    29

    O.K. Perez. It's somewhat funny. Parts very funny. "The Office" re-set and re-casted in an Australian high school. Now that you are THIRTY, can we find us THIRTY-somethings some really funny grown-up comedy?

  30. emmie says – reply to this


    30

    fuck yeah, this show rocks

  31. Perez Sheraton says – reply to this


    31

    No. No. No. Someone please tell Jay Leno stop wearing wigs.

  32. Sunny says – reply to this


    32

    Perez you rock! Summer Heights High is my all time favourite show. Tho pple in USA and UK may not get the humour because it is like one big aussie inside joke! Kind of like Kath&Kim- us aussies have a very warped no bull shit kind of humour.

    Tho it got a bit of controversy partly due to the fact that the characters he based them on were far too real- (and must I add that Mr G is a real teacher at Chris Lilleys sisters school/ and partner school on Sydneys north shore- he is my veryyy camp drama teacher that has received a lot of flack from students after that series!) as well as the strange similarity in appearance and name of the girl who overdosed on ecstacy in the show and in real life…

  33. eddie says – reply to this


    33

    fuck that kkk cunt you fukin racist get off the website!!! go DIE

  34. c-z says – reply to this


    34

    Have you heard of The Mighty Boosh or Snuff Box? They're much better shows.

  35. Sunny says – reply to this

    ps. fuck off KKK your sooooo over

  36. Ange says – reply to this


    36

    I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE summer heights high.

  37. Mr. G says – reply to this


    37

    Just wikipedia it you tools. Don't ask a guy who doesn't even read these comments to give you information on a show you can find for yourself. You're a slut and you know it. You want to root all the boys…and you can't help taking the drugs on a saturday night.

  38. naughtygirlwithabadhabit4drugs says – reply to this


    38

    american audiences may not like the show and may be put off by the fact that a guy is playing a female character but i think that's got more to do with their societal retardation. it's got nothing to do with homosexuality. although ja'mie pretends to be a lesbian :P it's also quite different to the office :P

  39. Marcus Aurelius says – reply to this


    39

    Wait. Eighth grade. Not quite high school. Eighth grade. And still waiting on an answere for us thirty-sometings. It IS very funny, in an I've-got-way-more-important-stuff-that-needs-to-be-done-than-watching-eighth-graders kind of way.

    Re: eddie – Um… Fuck you

  41. rachel says – reply to this


    41

    i am so excited! i just moved back to the us from australia and summer heights high was one of my favorite shows (also we can be heroes). this really is the best news of the week!!!

  42. Annon says – reply to this


    42

    I agree with whoever said "i'm surprised Americans will get this sort of humour".
    Whilst it's a massive hit here (among teenagers/pre-teens AND adults), it doesn't necessarily mean American's will see the side of it as us Aussies do.
    Do you even know what a fob is?
    Better yet, do you know a country outside of your own? It seems you revolve entirely around yourselves half the time.

  43. marieee says – reply to this


    43

    LMAO best show in the world !
    hope everyone else diigs it!

  44. Elly says – reply to this


    44

    Perez, I'm so proud that you like this show!! And I wish people would stop being so ignorant. Its not an immature show, in fact, its humour is very tongue in cheek. If you live in Australia (especially Melbourne, where its set) it can ring very true at times…often a little true (which is why the show got so much flack). The principal in the show was even my real school principal! Enjoy it guys, its worth it!

  45. Alex & Kate says – reply to this


    45

    Champagne comedy! Lilly is a comic genius who will have you wetting your pants!

    Not for anyone who's too uptight!

    P.S. Perez, Kate loves you!

  46. Liz says – reply to this


    46

    Aw man! Thank you, Perez for introducing me to this show. I checked out some clips and it was fucking halarious!!! Please keep the site posted on when the premiere on BBC or HBO will be! I must watch a full episode!

  47. jennaaah! says – reply to this


    47

    summer heights high is the best show ive ever seen in my life!
    i wonder if everyone else will get the awesome aussie humour though?

  48. fernando says – reply to this


    48

    this show fucking ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!…. though i wonder if the americans will understand the humour… coz a lot of the shit that happens at schools in australia is probably different in USA and UK….

  49. Mellie says – reply to this


    49

    This show is awesome!
    Go Jonah!

  60. don't be silly! says – reply to this


    60

    Re: Marcus Aurelius – Fear not Marcus Aurelius! Middle Australia absolutely loves this show. There are other characters besides this one, including a gay drama teacher called Mr. G who is actually the funniest thing in it, all played by the one person. It's basically a snapshot of school life 'characters' that everyone can relate to.

  61. Soph says – reply to this


    61

    I LOVE U FOR THIS PEREZ!!!!!

  62. Marcus Aurelius says – reply to this

  66. Ja'mie king 'like' says – reply to this


    66

    Cool Perez likes it.

    Americans, you will love it :) I hope!! It's very Australian - the humor is laugh out loud funny, it's not really scripted like your 'comedy' shows.

    :)

  67. Jenny G says – reply to this


    67

    Omg, so funny. Never heard of this show, so thanks Perez!!!! Can't wait to watch more!! We need more humor like this.

  68. Colin says – reply to this

  73. Emma says – reply to this


    73

    Am so freaking stoked, you guys will be flabbergasted at the portrayal the wonderful chris lilly can do of high school stereotypes!

  74. Prue says – reply to this


    74

    this show is seriously the best thing to happen to australian tv. i live in the UK but am an aussie and i got it sent over on DVD. he is a comical genius.

    lets just hope the yanks and poms dont butcher it by changing it to "accomodate" their humour.

    really hope that isnt going to be happening with the american version of kath and kim too - leave aussie comedy alone!!

    Is that Drew Barrymore?

  76. Allison says – reply to this


    76

    I'm from Canada but I've been obsessed with watching Summer Heights High on Youtube since I was introduced to it by some friendly Aussies in Whistler. Seriously the funniest shit you will ever see. Chris Lilley is a genius! We want Summer Heights High in Canada!!

  77. THEGLAMNINJA. says – reply to this


    77

    Indeed, that shiz is good. We Can Be Heroes is pretty damn funny as well.

  78. Sophie says – reply to this


    78

    Australia represent! Chris Lilley has such a brilliant mind. I wonder how the Australian humour will go down in the US…

  79. Canuckfcuk says – reply to this

    86

    Re: KKK_4_LIFE – Actually, I've had a change of heart. I now realise that all races are my equal. I will try harder to love my black brothers and sisters and others and pray that, following Charles Darwin's natural selection theory, my medieval ass doesn't get prematurely erased from the planet. Thank you and please accept my apology for being an ignorant twat.
