sparkles_dee I have to say that while this show may generate a lots of positive comments, I am disappointed at the lack of respect the writers have for Australia's Indigenous people by creating a character with the nickname 'Abo'.Australia's Indigenous people and some non-Indigenous people find this word highly offensive and to have this word written into a script is disrespectful. It has set a standard amongst 'some' Australians and Australian visitors from the Pacific Islands that this type of word is 'OK' to use to name Aboriginal people, it is not OK to use.The character itself creates a stereotype and assumptions of Aboriginal people, this again creates perceptions that ALL Aboriginal people dress and act this way and this is not the case. It also makes fun of Aboriginal people's culture and beliefs by portraying traditional ceremonies as a joke.Australian Aboriginal people have been fighting for years to gain some respect in their own country, to those who visit our country please don't add to the already difficult struggle Aboriginal people have to fight every single day of their lives.Most Australian's respect Pacific Island and New Zealand traditions please do the same for Australia's Indigenous peoples.The media is a powerful tool that has the power to further marginalise groups within Australia and other countries.

medcodepro For whatever odd reason, when I moved to southern California from Colorado as a young man, a majority of my friends and family wound up being Samoan. This is how I was first exposed to bro'Town months ago. Having said that, you really don't need to know much about Samoans ,or New Zealand for that matter, to "get it". In fact, if anything it is the Kiwi accent that requires a little hard listening at times, but well worth it. The humor is exactly what you would expect from 5 pre-pubescent (4 Samoan and 1 Maori) boys, yet is broad and common enough for any adult who actually had a childhood (and still has a sense of humor).bro'Town is silly, irreverent, topical, politically sharp and heart-felt at times, like many of its contemporaries (South Park, Family Guy, The Boondocks etc...) I understand that bro'Town isn't "Waiting for Godot" and I have a hard time believing that the Naked Samoans are trying to emulate Samuel Beckett when writing. But for what it is, purely crafted ½ hour adult pop-culture cartoon comedies for 18-30yo males, it is sublime. My friends and I are still quoting Jeff da Maori, yet we somehow still manage to read books with big words. Hmmmmm.I am anxiously waiting for season 3 at this moment.Morningside for LIFE!

Ian Gorton I'm gonna go against most of the reviews on here and say that I love this show. Yeah it's a bit crude but I love it cause of that. I don't watch this show to be intellectual, I watch it for a good laugh and for a release as it were.I was told about this show by my brother and I though looks like I'll have to have a look at it. My favourite quote is the one about their dad wanting to watch his pornos in peace. I had to have it explained to me what the whole 8 Dads things was all about though with the Jeff da Maori character.It amazed me too the number of celebrities they got on this show even the NZ PM. I couldn't imagine little Johnny Howard doing a cartoon here that's for sure.

vixinoz this show is so funny! i laughed the whole way through it, as my 13 yr old daughter did. i am from NZ originally so i got it straight away, those characters could be people i know. my friend also originally from NZ had to watch it 2x before she got it- ( she is not as smart as me Hehe) as did her 14 yr old son and now they loves it and bought the second series for us all to watch.my friend from Holland watched it and he got it straight away and cant get enough of it.the humor may see simple but it is actually very clever and you may need to think harder if you want to intellectualize it, it is not the usual blatant American style humor that we are ignorantly bombarded with. I love all the characters but cant get enough of the south African guy.MORNINGSIDE FOR LIFE!
