=== Spoofs === Spoofs of other programs were a regular feature in the early years. This began with caustic voice-overs of old TV shows, (comparable to the much later American program ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' and similar to other Australian comedy efforts including the "Europa Films" segments of ''[[The Aunty Jack Show]]'' and the 1980s live comedy team Double Take). Later, this expanded into ongoing comedy sketches such as ''Division Saturday'' (a parody of ''[[Division 4]]''), ''The Sillivans'' (''[[The Sullivans]]'') and ''The Shove Boat'' (''[[The Love Boat]]''). The rural radio station [[2QN]] ''Radio Deniliquin'' was satirised until official complaints were received, leading to a change over to ''2KW Upper Kumbukta West'', a fictional country town that was also home to the "Mrs Mac" character. The fictitious country of 'Biddleonia' was created as a new home for Irish jokes etc., so as not to offend any actual minorities. Ian Buckland appeared and also performed in sketches including a satire called "The World's Worst Magician". These segments spawned merchandise in the form of magic kits and products. In each of the two reunion shows, there was a "DisasterChef" segment—a spoof of ''[[MasterChef Australia]]''. In 2010, ''Hey Hey'' spoofed many commercials with [[Trevor Marmalade|Trevor]] and [[Russell Gilbert|Russell]] in them.
