Like the pimple which keeps coming back in the same spot time after time, so some comedies just won't go away...

Don't bother coming up with a contrived way of getting someone else to read out my award - I actually agree with this one.

Audiences have been drifting from television for years, in many cases preferring to relive memorable TV online rather than watch whatever Seven or Nine are screening. But the internet doesn't always tell the truth about the long-running favourites of yesteryear, which can lead to such obviously insane leaps of logic as "That clip of Red Faces on YouTube is funny, therefore Hey Hey it's Saturday should come back". Well, that and my relentless campaigning over a number of years. Was it my campaigning that inspired that Facebook group or the Facebook group which strengthened my campaign? It hardly matters now that we've had the specials, and the show is coming back. And whether all of the 300,000+ Facebook fans will like the "all new" me-heavy Hey Hey... remains to be seen, but if it tanks, you can bet your bottom dollar I will go down fighting.

As for The Chaser, even they knew they'd had enough before they started Series 3. That begs the question "Why bother?" (although it was presumably something boring like "contractual obligation", "pressure from the ABC" or "because of financial necessity"), and also makes you wonder if having gone through the Make A Realistic Wish shitstorm, they'll think again about out-staying their welcome. Not that anyone other than the voters of these awards and a few wowserish Herald-Sun readers seemed to want them to go, of course.

And then there's Thank God You're Here. Did you bother to watch it much after it moved to Seven (apart from the Tony Martin episode, obviously)? No, neither did we...which was the right thing to do, because it still featured crap guests like Kate Langbroek and Rebel Wilson, it was still basically a televised acting exercise which offered almost no scope for comedy other than "blurt out a response to this heavy-handed set-up", and most depressingly of all, reality dross like Aussie Ladette to Lady turned out to contain more actual laughs.
