A Dingo ate a ladys baby, the cops and media basically treated her like a murderer and vilified her, until decades later it was pretty much proven it happened. The line was uttered by her, and she was mocked for it. I've worked closely with Dingo's at zoo's they are extremely smart and strong, can rotate their paws around to unlock certain latches, we always used a double airlock and padlock system to keep them in.

BrigadierSensible posted:If I remember right, the cartoon also had a bunch of native Australian animals as The Ferals' country cousins or some such. I think they were less the baddies and more the victims of the ferals bogan fuckwitism. So pretty true to life. Wikipedia: The Ferals are an eclectic group of animals that live together in a backyard shed. There is a rat called Rattus, a feral cat called Modigliana, a rabbit called Mixy, and a feral dog called Derryn. The humans are two university students, and their landlord, who clash with each other and the Ferals. They include the uptight, neurotic landlord Joe King who is determined to remove the ferals from his garden; the affable science student Leonard, and medical student Roberta 'Robbie', who attempt to shield the ferals from eviction, but are sometimes exasperated with their antics. There were also the 'Bogans From The Bush' as Modigliana liked to call them, Keith, a koala and Kylie, a kangaroo. These two characters often clashed with the Ferals, thinking they were above them due to their status as native Australian animals.[2] They were also quite nasal and whiney in their characteristics. Other characters included White Ants (Tina Bursill, Robert Hughes), Rock Wrangler (Tina Matthews) and Fat Cat (Taylor Owynns) I remember thinking Keith needed his head kicked in.

I remember the science student was clearly studying to be some kind of bogan mad scientist. Basically Aussie Urkel. I saw a lot more of the spinoff/sequel series Feral TV. I think a lot of that went over my head but they did a lot of riffs on pop culture that actually aged pretty well, like the Star Trek riff that ends up having problems getting filmed because they keep changing everything around.

Inceltown posted:Australia absolutely would tolerate horse punching as long as it didn't embarrass the cops / govt. A friend of mine grew up obsessed with horses and got a job at the local racetrack when she was a teen but had to quit because of how badly the horses were abused behind the scenes. The straw which broke the camel's back was a trainer hitting a horse over the head with a brick. There's a lot of animal abuse that goes on in certain Australian industries every single day and in most cases it's been an open secret for decades, it's only until someone does an expose on it and manages to get media interest (such as puppy mills and the greyhound industry in recent times) that something happens about it. Step outside the comfy inner city suburbs and people across the nation still have a 1950s attitude towards pretty much everything.

syntaxfunction posted:The Ferals gave me nightmares as a wee lil kid, and then a few years later I had flipped around and I adored them. They're so loving awesome. I think they were my first real experience with characters who were just mean to each other and I felt that. Never forget that the original Ferals had a bad guy called Kerry the Toad who was the boss of Ferals TV and absolutely in no way shape or form was a dig at Kerry Packer. Kharnifex posted:A Dingo ate a ladys baby, the cops and media basically treated her like a murderer and vilified her, until decades later it was pretty much proven it happened. She and her husband also copped a lot of poo poo for being Seventh Day Adventists. To be fair, it's a weird fucken religion but what they got put through because of it wasn't on. I grew up down the road from her, she was a really nice lady. DPM fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Jul 25, 2021 |

Anyone remember a series of animated shorts about a fuzzy yellow creature with a long neck and two long legs that hung out with the outback creatures? There were some educational ones like explaining the Australian Coat of Arms but mostly it was just silly 2 to 5 minute shorts. It was in a similar colored pencil style a la Rhubarb the Dog. I first remember seeing it in Eureka's Castle.
