haha hillford was based on my school in australia, he came to research his jam'ie character there
so random that the show is going to america and the uk then
Re: zach –
It's not about being gay or not it has nothing to do with the show. It is one actor who plays 3 different characters and one of them happens to be a girl.
Watch the show for yourself and see how amazingly funny it is.
Re: Hollie – Of course she looks like a trannie you dumb shit - it's Chris Lilley - it is a man! crawl out from under your rock and watch it - you may even like it!!!!
Its the best show ever..

hahaha yes!
i live in australia and that show is the best!
chris liley is sooo freakin awsome!
i own the series on dvd now and cant stop watching it!!
xo tab
I love this show, but being based on Aussie humour and colloquialisms, I don't think that the American audience will respond very well….but whatever. The Brits will possibly get it.. but whatever, it's hilarious. Jonah is the best thing about the show.
This show is AWESOME!!!!
Chris Liley (creator, writer, and main actor) is a genius!!
hahah hell good. when is it in america? chris lilley is so good i reckon america will love this show.
ps all the eps were free on australian iTunes when it aired too

Re: Marcus Aurelius – turn off ignorent american mode. in alotr of countrys year 8 is highschool. in australia highschool is 7-12.
CHRIS LILLEY IS THE MOST AWESOME ACTOR!!!!!!!!!!! =)
you guys will love it
he is soo awesome the show is soooo funny
mr g is the best
i really hope americans can appreciate this cause some of the jokes are soooo australian but i gues 'puck u miss' is universal
If you like this show you will love his other show "we can be heroes"
OMG!!!
SUMMER HEIGHTS HIGH IS THE BEST!!
America/UK - you have no idea!
such a piss funny show. You need to watch it from the beginning US peeps.
ja'mies RULES - in the schoolyaard of course!
GO THE COWBOYS!
Re: Marcus Aurelius – Just because it doesn't appeal to your sense of humour does not mean other people who are over 30 won't like it. It has been a huge hit in Australia for people of all ages. It may not be your cup of tea or you may not like the humour, but alot of us do.
Re: grzman – Well, I think you will find this is an AUSTRALIAN comedy, not a British one. And I think you will find that British comedy rates amongst some of the best in the world. I love how narrow minded some people are.
OMG this show is hilarious. It's been a big hit in Oz! Mr G has even released a radio single!
you have to listen to 'naughty girl' by mr g. its from the show and is actually released as a single here in australia. suprisingly it has been no. 1 a couple of times as well. it is the best show in the world!! america and the uk will love it
I loooooove british TV. I t is good to see that it is not an american remake of the show as it happened many times before with other tv shows. I hope we can see it soon in latin america too!
I'm so glad this show is being taken overseas. Its bloody amazing and i can't recommend it enough. Chris Lilley's first show "We Can Be Heroes" is just as great, so hopefully Americans and the UK will get the chance to see that as well.
Woohoo, go you good thing! This show would have to be one of the funniest things I've seen in years. Totally unmissable - and even better now they've released the song from Mr G's musical as a single. Absolute cracker!
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!
J-A-'-M-I-E
STRANGE I KNOW….BUT YOU'LL GET USE TO IT.
BEST FUCKING SHOW IN THE WORLD. DONT FORGET TO ALSO CHECK OUT "WE CAN BE HEROES". CHRIS LILLEY IS A FUCKING LEGEND
Perez you officially have the best taste in tv aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi
AWESOME SHOW!!!
Now don't go changing it, like you did with The Office and Kath & Kim
I love this show! My family in Australia gave me a dvd. I love J'amie and her friends! I think the Bec is sooo hot!
You will love it!!
so r they taping their own version or is it the aussie one?
cos if it is, thats awesome chris lilley is SO TALENTED.
been doin funny stuff for YEARS!
"You got your period or what miss?"
"I said puck you, with a P"
"Ya ranga"
"It's G time not free time"
"sir, when is this shit over?"
"Ecstacy, ecstacy, e, e, e, e, ecstacy"
"We punk'd you Miss"
I could go on… This is the best bloody show ever. Enjoy America! Just like Kath and Kim this is am Aussie classic, and it has produced quotes that are now the norm in everyday conversation. Check it out ; )
"Puck u miss"
One of the many reasons this show ROCKS! is that it is exactly like school, no sugar coatings like every other show based on school life have people believe!
SUMMER HEIGHTS HIGH RULZ
Though i too doubt whther americans will 'get it'
I hope it won't get bashed over there coz of that tho, because it really is a great show!
this show is fantastic. Very very funny
has anyone noticed how similar chris lilley and the main character guy in dirty dancing havana nights are?
really. they do. separated at birth.
this show is the best show EVER seriously! hands down best australian show ever made! chris lilley is the most talented man! wow!
The last episode is genius!
haha mannn this show is GREAT. so so hilarious..i love jonah!
its such a real representation! haha
the only thing that the UK and American audience might not get is the whole extasy spiel by mr G..coz of how it was related to aussie news that they wouldnt have heard about.
but other than that, YES, best decision ever!
DIKTATION!
haha luv that show!! n since i'm tongan it made it wayyy funnii (jonah takalua is so much like my lil bro) now u guys can see how much of a legend chris lilley is!!
Re: grzman – the show from a Australia you tool, plus most ignorant yanks don't get aussie humour. you're probably a dirty ranga
SHH is the BEST show EVER and the dude who plays Keiran is a myspace friend
one of the funniest shows i've ever watched, another good show by chris lilley is "we can be heroes"
Haha!
This is the firggin best show EVER!
Hope you guys enjoy it =P
You guys are going to love the show…its fantastic! Chris Lilley is a genius, how on earth he perfects all those characters is a mystery. Especially Jonah. Someone watching the show without any prior knowledge would think he was really a Samoan teenager.
Guys, Let me explain the show to you. Chris Lilley is the guy that created this show. He plays 3 different characters.
Mr G - Drama Teacher
Jonah - Year 8 Bully
Jai'me King - Transfer student.
So this is not some gay show, where he likes to dress up as a girl.
Btw, this show rocks and shows exactly how australian schools are.
absolute raddest show out.
PUCK YOU MISS.
sorry ranga. motherfucker.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
This show is actually being shown in schools now as part of the curriculum. It s hilarious and has a few mesages.
This is my all time favourite show.Chris Lilley is a comedic genius.But I will be truly amazed if Americans get the humour.
ohh yay im an aussie and i hope you guys like it its pretty funny. go jonah.
Re: Kim in Texas – chris lilley isnt gay, he has a girlfriend
wqdh yobaw ldyci loesy ivwkaqhe hnkyo qero
I'm allergic to your fart miss!
I luv that show!! Jonas actually seems to be a real person, you'd never think he is in fact a 30 year old man. Thanks for showing this Perez!!
YAY for us aussies BRUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this show is classic, should check out heroes with the same dude innit!
Re: Marcus Aurelius –
Are you serious you are comparing this to the office?
PUHLEASE. does one person play each main character in the office? - no.
there are so many non similarities - all there is that is the same is that it's a mockumentary you flaming idiot.
Typical you don't have taste.
THIS IS SOOOO GOOD.
IT's HUGE.
but only relevant to aussie..
CHRIS LELLEY IS A LEGEND.
you guys will love this, but hate it because there will only be 8 episodes…..
Puck you miss Puck you! i heart jonah
this is the most brilliant show ever produced. There's not one person in Australia who hasnt been raving on about it.
Hope the US and UK enjoy it, hilarious!
BEST SHOW EVER
yes im from australia & must say this show shits all over anything else!!!
I'm form Australia, and this show is freaking fantastic!!! though, it is quite Australian but i'm sure there's humour that the brits and yanks can understand!
I just watched the 4 last episodes… great stuff… thanks perez for the tip… as a canadian, i might've missed some Aussie slang, but I didn't notice… puck you has a whole different meaning here…
THIS SHOW IS THE BEST! I'VE SEEN ALL OF THE EPISODES OFF OF THE ABC AUSTRALIA WEBSITE ALTHOUGH IM FROM CALIFORNIA. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THOUGH THAT THIS WILL BECOME A HUGE TREND HERE IN AMERICA AS IT DID IN AUSTRALIA IM SURE. SOON ENOUGH WE WILL BE SEEING "DICK-TATION" SHIRTS IN LOCAL HOT TOPICS. MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE MANY INSIDE JOKES WITH THIS SHOW AND NOW EVERYONE IS GOING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
BUT ANYWAYS, AMERICANS WILL EAT THIS UP. ITS HILARIOUS. BASICALLY ITS A COMEDIAN WHO PLAYS ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT PEOPLE AT SCHOOLS AND ITS KIND OF JUST ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS. ITS REALLY THE BEST SHOW I'VE EVER SEEN.
Oh yeah, and this "i hope the americans get it" has to stop. i get it, im american, others will too. aussies are no better than americans and americans are no better than aussies.
wooo chris lilley!! its the funniest show ever, americans will love it!!
