I might be too young to know of the "chaser guys", who exactly where they? I remember watching the 2011 ACA reunion and being really confused when listening to Tim explain the story. Were they majorly relevant in Australian media?

Oh boy - I remember when I was 11-ish, The Chaser were mandatory weekly viewing in my house.

They ended up getting axed around the same time for a "Make a Realistic Wish Foundation" sketch which got a few talking heads really riled up. But their satire made them basically the number one media / political watchdog for a while there in the mid/late 2000s.

It's all on Youtube and very rooted in the current events of the time - but you get the grasp of their cutting humour.

Tim did make a cameo in 2007 on The Chaser's War on Everything as an unemployed person:

They had a long running feud with Anna Coren (and Maybe Naomi Robson too?) of Today Tonight I remember they would have segments where they would just randomly show up to the Today Tonight Offices.

Then there was that infamous stunt where Chas dressed up in Osama Bin Laden style attire and tried to gatecrash that G7 Leaders summit (Edit: it was the APEC summit I think George W Bush was attending with Johnny Howard at the time) or whatever they had back in 2007.

Oh and I remember he also pashed Rove McManus on Rove Live one time (Rove was all about that 'who would you turn gay for?' question in his quick questions at the end of the interview and it came from that Iirc) LOL.

Omg I remember that, after the pash Rove said something like, "For those of you at home, lick your hand... and smell it... that's what's going on around here" as he waved his hand in front of his face lol
