Kath & Kim is the Australian version of Van der Merwe style humour. Hilariously cringey. 8/10
Australian anything = pass
On any single day, Cleaver Greene is described as many things. Whilst his ex-wife may call him 'unreliable', his son will call him 'a mate'. To his learned friends at the bar table he is 'a real wag', to his jurors he is 'hilarious', and to most judges he is 'an outrage'. To the Tax Office, he is 'a defendant', to a certain brothel owner 'a legend', and to his former cocaine dealer 'a tragic loss'.
It takes a special kind of person to defend alleged criminals like that. If the evidence pointed towards them being guilty, I couldn't stomach getting such people off the hook.
