Hold me, my Daddy

Culture Strain has just reported that Daryl Somers intends to bring Hey! Hey! (or at least some form of it) back. This is on the back of the news that the Spice Girls are reforming, and these two quick body blows have left me reeling, and close to suicide.

Many people in Australia may not remember this, but Hey Hey was shit. It was dreadful. Words cannot describe how bad it was. Only morons enjoyed Hey Hey from beginning to end.

My Dad liked Hey Hey. He used to make me watch it. The only part I liked was Red Faces, and occasionally Plucka Duck, who went on to star in Plucka's Playhouse. After watching twenty minutes of that, I was unable to leave my room for six weeks.

There are many reasons Hey Hey should never return. Here they are:

1. Daryl Somers

He already "hosts" Dancing With The Stars, the producers of which humour him by occaisionally allowing him to sing. This should not be allowed to happen. For public safety, his production company must be labelled a terrorist organisation and shut down.

2. Bad Costumes

"How did you know my name was Eeppoonnee Rae?"

3. Crappy prizes

"Choose between: A yellow van, driven by a retard who I wouldn't brake for if I saw crossing the street...."

"...or the latest in hip sound systems! Impress all the homies in your 'hood with this AM-only Ghetto Blaster, complete with the latest in cassette technology and stereo sound! Astound your friends with volume control! Impress your enemies with extending aerial"
4. John Blackman

John Blackman hails from the times when Abbo and Irish jokes were funny (ie. never). I wouldn't mind him being on the show, if only they taped his mouth shut.

5. Wilbour Wilde

Isn't he dead? No? Crap. Jimmy, I owe you a Coke.

6. Fragile sets and low-budget graphics

Often in the same shot.

Anything else to add?
