For thousands of years (probably), stand-up comedians have honed their craft, attempting to find a universal harmonic – a theme that resonates with everyone who hears it, bringing an entire audience together in a cacophonous din of laughter that brings down the house (not literally of course). Many have tried, broaching many topics. Dating? People... [Read more of this review]
As usual, the Superbowl comes around once a year, and we’re all swept up in it’s craziness for little more than a day or so. However, as most news reporters delight in telling us, it’s not so much the game that captures the attention of so many, more the big money advertisements from mostly beer and snack companies. This year more... [Read more of this review]

You know, the one that explains the current situation of the galaxy and brings you up to speed before the latest installment commences? Yes? No? Star Wars Causing Trouble!

Here at WATCH OUT FOR | COMEDY, the only thing we love doing more than quoting Sean Micallef is wondering ‘What If’? And now, the question of What would the Spider-Man saga look like if it were directed by Wes Anderson?, has finally been answered thanks to a bunch of people who have obviously been thinking the same thing. Owen Wilson as... [Read more of this review]
Arthur Schopenhauer, philosophy’s most notable pessimist, once blackly said: “There is no doubt that life is given us, not to be enjoyed, but to be overcome; to be got over”. The notion that life, for all its swings and roundabouts, is filled with suffering and tribulations that we must endure until the sweet release of death, is a common but... [Read more of this review]
Your heart sinks; it now rests somewhere near your lower intestine. A hot wave of anxiety and deep self-loathing engulfs you. You attempt to stammer out a semblance of a sentence, but all that comes out is a series of sighs and sputters. You’ve been dropped like a slippery steak and there’s nought you can do about it. How Do You Deal With Break... [Read more of this review]
Now that the dust has finally settled somewhat on the monster that is Avatar (with those who are still yet to see it chastegated from common social functioning, much like those who suffered from leprosy during biblical times) we here at WATCH OUT FOR feel that enough time has passed for open discourse regarding the greater meaning of a film like Avatar...

There are only a few things that get me through the day : one is knowing that no matter how bad things are, you can always head down to the local JB HiFi or Civic Video and know you can happily get lost in there for hours on end – the other is knowing that comedin Tony Martin will always ensure “Geek-dom” has a welcome presence in...

Daryl Somers, Triple J comedian Sam Simmons and animated series Beached Az were just some of the winners in the 2009 Tumbleweed Awards, announced earlier this week. Unfortunately for the winners: the Tumbleweed Awards are an internet-based award for the worst in Australian comedy over the previous year, with categories that include Worst Entertainment...

The beauty of Viral Videos these days isn’t so much that they exist, but moreso that they exist in such varied forms. One Viral Video will immediately spawn thousands of “Re-Mixes”, “Re-Edits”, or even “Homages” – which are, more often than not, better than the original. So today, we felt we should shine...

Although he’s re-entered the popular consciousness, Peter Russell-Clarke has largely been forgotten by many, and not known at all by the rest. Particular those of my own generation. The only reason I was aware of Australia’s favourite bearded cheif was because he bared an uncanny resemblence to my uncle. So much so that he has actually been... [Read more of this review]
It’s pretty rare for Viral Videos to actually include genuine talent – let’s face it, the best ones usually involve people getting smacked in the balls – but every now and then something like “Asian Chick’s Awesome Hand Ninja Video” comes along and blows our minds.
