Racism, the celebration of mediocrity and a dirty old man giggling in the background. You're welcome to it.

How Francis handled the heckler was great!

Just before we went down to the Espy, The Chevron, or Chasers we wouldn't leave home until we watched Hey Hey it's Saturday. It was part of the Melbourne culture.

Francis Greenslade's act was literally my favourite act on Red Faces ever. So memorable!

​​​@@mataph7805 yeah but it was a low bar to begin with, Francis was guaranteed to win after that lot, they audition these people obviously before they go on for real and they probably deliberately put Francis on at the end cos they knew he was the best of a shit bunch, the two man act was terrible, Daryl gave them a chance to get to the point and they just kept dragging on.

​@@user-et6pj4db9s- ROFL. The *whole* idea of that segment is to find the _worst_ acts who want to embarrass themselves on AU national television. . Note that name of the segment is *"Red Faces"* ? It is the complete opposite of a "talent show". The producers find the worst they can, then they perform and the judges score them.

The last act was worth waiting for.

The shoulder pads, this is definitely peak eighties fashion 😂.

I liked it when Francis played "Piano Man" on the guitar.

One of Australia's best comedians.

I grew up with Hey Hey and when 3 I relocated from Sydney to Canberra where there weren't as many TV stations I missed HHIS so much I'd drive to Batemans Bay-whère they had more channels-check into the cheapest decent motel available just to get my fix of HHIS!!Jeez,how fked up is that?.😂Thanks guys ❤

Wow! I remembered the "worms, worms, worms" guy from back in the day, but didn't realise he was Francis Greenslade (later of McCallef show fame)!

'87 pinnacle of the mullet..? but what a master, even at that age..!

Life was so much better with shows like this around. No woke-ism, people just having fun and lots of laughter. So sad the way the world has gone now. Aussie TV has been so bad for so long with supposed 'reality' based garbage. I love having access to all the old shows where they weren't afraid to be funny, or worry about offending the 'delicate' people out there, and when we didn't have to pretend that we believed something that we didn't , just because we were told to by the minority etc. etc. Hey Hey was legendary, which is why it lasted for so long.

Human exspression comes in all forms. To delete or supress any of those forms is wrong. All forms are right. They may be different, they may challenge the norms but never should one idea take precedence over another. That leads to stagnation, not moving forward. I agree with the woke people, they have valid points and a great arguement that I do not dissagree with but not at the cost to all others. Creative thinking is the way forward and if you tell somebody they are wrong, not through logic but through emotion then you have failed the human race's progress, all ideas are equal. All people are equal. No one thing has sway over the rest.

@@spridgetmidget9238 No offence, but you use a lot of words to say : "Everyone has their own viewpoint. I believe in true progressivism which is to agree but disagree. You won't change minds with argument." Why not just say that? Why try to appear as smarter than everyone else? (Though you pretty gave it away when you said you were basically woke. Failing to spell "exspression" doesn't help your case either. You ain't smart, don't lecture others. /Life lesson)

Let's be honest it was a low bar after the first three acts dragged on so badly so he was guaranteed to win, no Shaun in the audience clapping him though, wonder where he was. This has to be the earliest red faces I've ever seen, red wasn't even in the shirt and tie he became known for in the 90s when this segment hit its peak popularity.

@@James-kv6kb well the idea is to make money from streaming, when people pay for a streaming service there's an instant kickback to the company, when a tv station on old fashioned free to air broadcasting makes a program they rely on ratings from viewers to get money which is alot harder than just making a load of content or buying it for streaming and then making people pay upfront rather than waiting on ratings figures to decide the fate. And yes I meant ironic cos red faces is taking the piss out of talent shows as was the American show it was based on the Gong Show.

This feels like an early one?

Someone can't add. The opening act got 14, not 13.

I don't care if I never see or hear Daryl Somers ever again

I wat hed this live when it came out, if i remember correctly they got a perfect score of 30 from all three judges. It was also the first time Red gave a score of 10

Any relation to Tosh Greenslade?
