Shaun Micallef: Australia's relationship with alcohol + cancel culture | The Weekly

[MrBJPitt]

I don't get why everyone doesn't see things this way? It's perfectly reasonable what Shaun says.

[sarikoske]

Reasonable, rational, empathetic, hilarious, self deprecating, intelligent, humble. What a rarity!

[AnthonyDobrin]

Shaun Micallef is one of the funniest men alive. I don't think have seen him in anything and not at least chuckled. Milo Kerrigan always gets me crying with laughter.

[kathyboschen]

Seriously, his intelligence and humility is the hottest thing I’ve ever seen...

[Karlettastar]

Really glad to hear Shaun say that reviewing and possibly removing old sketches that in hindsight aren't appropriate. Thank you to The Weekly for airing this segment.
Also, I am looking forward to seeing his documentary about drinking. We need honesty right now. I do at least.

Micallef''s style of comedy was WAY ahead of it's time.

I think a contextual alert for people. I love cutting edge humour in almost any form. Precisely because it pushes the bar. And when people are cancelled, it promotes discussions in whole communities. It allows for greater insights and debates. These organic discussions which would not happen any other way. The greatest comedians aren’t about hurting others, they are actually supportive of individual. They are protecting our freedom to think and speak individually. They are challenging us to look around in the uncomfortable.

We won’t grow as a society until we are prepared to hear all stories. Even when we fundamentally disagree. Where’s the growth point, where do we agree, what needs to be protected and then the policy’s that push us forth.

Never consumed alcohol. Never missed it.

[farrellxavier]

An amazing observation by Shaun, completely agree with your views mate!

[MrScaramanga]

This is why i love Shaun, he's completely correct about what 'cancel culture' actually is

[BaneLoki]

I get really bad heartburn when I drink... so I need the strong stuff to get drunk.

Met the master of Australian comedy in Adelaide, I cooked, his dinner .
As a follower of all things funny, being a 4th generation Irish Australian, who can box, I asked Shaun, is Milo making a comeback ? . That was in 2001 .
Oh no, he's caused me enough problems.
Shaun, Milo is the past, cancel it . You've got three young ones about to get pissed . Kerrigan caused you some problems, ha wait for the phone calls from Yarra CID

Hearing straight white men say, "Well, what would we know?" is like seeing a unicorn. Thanks, Shaun.
