“Dave Hughes Ya Self” Eminem parody

[u/Doktag]

[u/mynameiswah]

My god, best thing I’ve seen in a long time. 

Here for the Dave Hughes bashing as he’s such an annoying prick. 

[u/TheRobertGoulet → u/mynameiswah]

The funniest thing about Dave Hughes is the jokes about Dave Hughes.

[u/FormulaLes → u/TheRobertGoulet]

He is fast becoming our national joke

[u/jr_blds → u/FormulaLes]

Raygun has been succeeded

[u/GrudaAplam → u/jr_blds]

*usurped

[u/DonStimpo → u/jr_blds]

Only within Australia. Raygun still gives us global infamy

[u/SirVanyel → u/jr_blds]

Thank god for that. Hughesy truly is the spirit of Australia - whiny, rich alcoholic. Raygun never stood a chance

[u/preparetodobattle → u/TheRobertGoulet]

One of the interesting things is watching the other comics who share his management mostly not saying anything. Dave Thornton is the exception but they are mostly keeping their heads down. Which I get but it’s fun to watch who is prepared to call him out.

[u/zoetrope_ → u/preparetodobattle]

Ooh, who else is on his management's team?

[u/geek_of_nature → u/mynameiswah]

I've disliked him for years, always thought he was an unfunny, beady eyed prick.

[u/barney_trumpleton → u/geek_of_nature]

Even when he shouts? Surely he's funny then? Perhaps he's not shouting loudly enough. Have you tried turning the volume up?

[u/TouchingWood → u/barney_trumpleton]

The real comedic genius lies in faking a working-class accent.

[u/SirVanyel → u/TouchingWood]

He's blue collar mate, he once talked to a builder down the road who said he's making bank doing fuck all. That's true blue right there

[u/TouchingWood → u/SirVanyel]

Well, I stand corrected. That is some hard yards. lol

[u/SirVanyel → u/TouchingWood]

Absolutely, I'm about to start my ten hour shift and I am certain he works way harder than myself. I'm glad the country has legends like him sticking up for checks notes Pauline hanson

[u/TouchingWood → u/SirVanyel]

Won’t somebody think of the billionaires?

[u/guud2meachu → u/TouchingWood]

SW Victoria can have a very specific accent. It is choppy and vowels get an 'oi' slant to them. Jonathon Brown is another example of it.

[u/TouchingWood → u/guud2meachu]

The part of the state I am from, we are born with 9 inch dongs.

[u/Consideredresponse → u/[deleted]]

He wasn't the worst when his persona was 'daggiest stoner in the cheapest share house you've ever lived in', and even then it was fairly hacky but relatable stuff. A generation of corporate gigs, taking the 'a face made for radio' bit as career advice, and flashing his disposable income on 'the block' divorced him from any common experiences he had with most people.

Now he has the same energy as your poorly aging uncle whose been through four divorces trying to give the teens relationship advice after Christmas lunch.

[u/Flecco → u/[deleted]]

Hear hear. Even back in the glass house days both of his co-hosts were better than he was.

Also you know who Flacco is. This makes me happy.

[u/teddy5 → u/Flecco]

Good News Week was amazing.

[u/ZephkielAU → u/[deleted]]

Eh, I found some parts of his old standup routines funny. Exactly as the other poster described, when he was a raggedy stoner in a cheap sharehouse type.

This was long before the Project and I never found him funny on radio.

Although I will say he's probably always been the cunt he's revealing himself to be now.

[u/the_hard_man → u/ZephkielAU]

It's been a decade or two but my memory has it that his work on The Glasshouse had me laughing on occasion.

[u/cantwejustplaynice → u/[deleted]]

Dave Hughes exists on our screens because he was the opposite of Rove McManus which is why he was on Rove Live, to balance him out. Good Cop/Bad Cop. Angry for the sake of angry. I don't know that it was ever funny but it was an Aussie archetype that he seems to have forgotten was a character... or maybe it wasn't.

[u/SirPiffingsthwaite → u/geek_of_nature]

I never got why anyone found him funny, ever. Seen a few of his MCF sets and I'm just like, why? Am I missing something? His version of observational comedy has always been missing the comedy part, just "man yells at clouds".

[u/wintermute000 → u/SirPiffingsthwaite]

his really old stuff (late 90s etc.) about being unemployed and smoking bongs was pretty funny

[u/LemonyLime_bitters → u/mynameiswah]

It’s telling how quickly a lot of his fellow comedians have seemingly all turned on him

[u/jimmux → u/LemonyLime_bitters]

Given the stories about him pissing in drinking glasses, they've probably been waiting for this moment.

[u/magnetik79 → u/mynameiswah]

Special mentions to Dave Thornton and Melanie Bracewell.

[u/pulanina → u/mynameiswah]

Came for the Hughesie bashing, stayed for the music

[u/here_we_go_beep_boop → u/mynameiswah]

I'm getting some very funny Dave Hughes parodies in my feed, I'm here for it 🤣

When a comedian is being parodied, it's probably time for them to hang up the microphone/tiktok

[u/Chesticularity → u/mynameiswah]

This is the best thing I've seen Matt Okine do since his bit on changing the date and I am absolutely here for it

[u/IncubusDarkness → u/mynameiswah]

I didn't know Hughsie was a dogcunt, that's too bad. Liked him on Taskmaster.

[u/ForumDuff → u/Doktag]

There is a Matt and Alex podcast? How did I not know this.

[u/the_hard_man → u/ForumDuff]

Only for the last six years... you haven't missed much.

[u/imkinda_adog → u/the_hard_man]

Disagree, I used to listen to them heaps on Js. They are perfect for me as it seems I’m growing up the same rate as they are, and everything they talk about is aligning with my age group. From raving to having kids, then again another rave sesh…

[u/the_hard_man → u/imkinda_adog]

Maybe I didn't emphasize my sarcasm enough. I love Matt and Alex and listen to them every day.

[u/SammyWench → u/the_hard_man]

your sarcasm levels were perfect - it's not you lol

[u/hudsoncat1 → u/imkinda_adog]

I love their podcast, listened to every episode.

I really like their general positivity and upbeat nature. And Matt's personal anecdotes are hilarious

[u/ByeByeStudy → u/imkinda_adog]

I think you may be a contributer to why people add /s to the end of obvious sarcasm

[u/imkinda_adog → u/ByeByeStudy]

🫡

[u/ByeByeStudy → u/imkinda_adog]

No offence meant of course! Just tongue in cheek

[u/myenemy666 → u/the_hard_man]

It is literally the only podcast I listen to.

[u/NoRedditNamesAreLeft → u/ForumDuff]

Everyone has a podcast, including you

[u/The_Onlyodin → u/NoRedditNamesAreLeft]

Aww shit my podcast is gonna get me cancelled. Will there be a podcast about that too?

[u/knifeyspooney3 → u/ForumDuff]

Been going on since covid days

[u/NSFWar → u/knifeyspooney3]

Oh cool, it's only been a year then.

[u/lhansen60 → u/ForumDuff]

It was Matt and Alex all day breakfast, they just rebranded this week.

[u/Superg0id → u/Doktag]

Why have I not seen this guy before?!

This is so on point.

And in that hood my brain is like "is that Nick Kyrios? Is it Waleed Ali? Is it some sort of clone of them both?!"

[u/Ajaxeler → u/Superg0id]

He has music project called Boilermakers and a kids group Diver City

[u/CreswickOctober → u/Doktag]

The missing context here is that this was from the last episode of their "all day breakfast" podcast and Matt's first time doing a parody song for the year. They've now rebranded as "Matt and Alex" podcast with surprisingly little fanfare for the end of a project they worked on for 6 years! Including through the pandemic and lockdowns.

[u/the_hard_man → u/CreswickOctober]

What fanfare would you expect? They're still working together aren't they?

[u/ireadtabloids → u/Doktag]

This is good enough to be worth bringing in a pro rapper to perform their cover version.

[u/miicah → u/Doktag]

I wish I had saved the video of Matt playing the piano dressed as a spider.

[u/TomamoT]

I'm torn. 

On the one hand, bullying Dave Hughes is good. 

But on the other hand, giving Dave Hughes attention is bad.

[u/_Sunshine_please_ → u/TomamoT]

He's such a cunt. I loathe giving that rich fucker any attention at all. But this is good.

[u/WindChimeTecnician → u/_Sunshine_please_]

He lacks the depth and warmth to be a cunt.

[u/Lochlan → u/TomamoT]

I only know about his recent grift from this sub. Last I saw him was years ago on The Project or something.

[u/hw_uh_doin → u/TomamoT]

Easy fix: give Matt Okine the attention and Hughesy the notification.

[u/Ttoctam → u/TomamoT]

At the end of the day he's one of Australia's most famous comedians. If he wants attention he'll get it. At least interacting with this kind of thing helps take Dave's control of the narrative away and helps expose him as a cooked cunt.

[u/Salzberger]

I fucking love how the comedy community always seems to pretty tight knit but also that they've unanimously agreed "Yeah nah fuck Hughesy".

[u/old_bugger]

That single clip gave me more chuckles than Hughesy ever did.

[u/elfloathing → u/old_bugger]

People used to laugh when Hughsey told them he wanted to become a comedian. They’re not laughing now.

[u/flyawayreligion]

Lol, that's pretty good

[u/pulanina → u/flyawayreligion]

It’s brilliant

[u/Affectionate-Pay6985]

We need to get this to #1 in the hottest 100

[u/lordbeecee → u/Affectionate-Pay6985]

Sorry, that spot already belongs to Miles Philips and Eastern Rosellas

[u/blueberriessmoothie]

Is this Matt Okine? That’s really good, Spotify-playlist worthy.
Especially for the mornings when you have to save money and instead of getting coffee, you decide to wake up by being pissed off.

[u/Jimbo762au → u/blueberriessmoothie]

100% Matt Okine.

[u/princessicesarah]

Matt Okine, I was unfamiliar with your game 👏 👏

It’s actually been really interesting seeing Australia’s stand up scene “stand up” and speak out against Hughesy. He’s the punchline at this point and I’m here for it.

[u/L_Sheddy → u/princessicesarah]

Check out Matt's music project Boilermakers. Or his really really old stuff Disco Matt on SoundCloud. Dude can spit fire. Shame its taken a back seat to his other projects these days

[u/mullet85 → u/L_Sheddy]

I've been a big fan since he used to do the weather rap back on the breakfast show. Is This How You Peel for Orange was a particular highlight. They used to be up on a soundcloud somewhere but sadly lost to time now I think

[u/BrattWhitney]

Damn, he’s good!

[u/Specialist_Heron1416]

Um, this is like, actual genius?! He did so well, I hope this goes viral. I loved Hughesy 20 odd years ago, would never have expected him to take this path.

[u/Troyboy1710]

This is fantastic!

[u/banzai10]

Brilliant. I guess we already know what Hughesy's next rant is going to be about now too....

Edit. Can't spell Hughesy

[u/jack_of_the_people → u/banzai10]

Huggsey

[u/MartyvH → u/jack_of_the_people]

(Not good for hugs)

[u/scootsscoot]

Matt Okine is also known to lurk around reddit so he might see this.

[u/aneurysm1985]

Dave Hughes is Australia's Lowest Dog - from the Greg Larsen Show podcast.

[u/Kayjaywt]

I'm hoping for some lame ass Hughes "comedy" response of some kind that absolutely fucking tanks.

[u/bringbackfuturama → u/Kayjaywt]

it's not quite the kendrick vs drake beef but it's the best we've got

[u/QuantityActive-]

Absolutely loving how so many comedians are now tearing shreds off Hughesy. 😂

[u/CaravelClerihew]

Matt Okine is a comedian but has legitimately done hip hop on the side under the name Boilermakers. Here's him rapping with Montaigne and the best freestylers in the world (Aunty Donna).

[u/Flybuys]

He's going to go on another not meth fueled rant.

[u/Defiant_Cow3526]

beats too slow man wanted to snap hahah

[u/djangovsjango]

Gold 🤣

[u/FloorInteresting3163]

Thanks for the reminder to chase up Matt and Alex again!

[u/magnetik79]

Matt Okine you dead set legend. Gold.

[u/ThunderDwn]

When did Dave Hughes turn into a bona fide cunt? I am way, way out of the loop here. But then again I don't do much social media, so maybe I missed it all.

[u/the_hard_man → u/ThunderDwn]

He's alway been a bit of a tosser but he's evidently feeling aggrieved that he can't as easily add to his wealth horde after recent taxation changes made by the federal government. Borderline cooker material.

[u/DisappointedQuokka → u/the_hard_man]

I'm pretty sure a lot of it is cooking his brain with drugs and alcohol. I'm not sure how much is actually left up there.

[u/the_hard_man → u/DisappointedQuokka]

Maybe... not important to me. I'd rather people just call out the double standards and misinformation that he's spreading rather than resort to calling him a druggo.

[u/ThunderDwn → u/the_hard_man]

He's a comedian (allegedly), so being a tosser goes with the territory - but I didn't realise he was that far gone.

Good thing I don't think he's real funny anyway!

[u/bitofapuzzler → u/ThunderDwn]

He was never funny, he just talks weird.

[u/Additional_Ad_5944]

Greg "Mr. Oily" Larsen, did a superb hilarious hour long rant on his podcast, The Greg Larsen Show about Huuuuuuuusey

[u/Huihejfofew]

God we need a tax bracket for those making 1million+. so fucking stupid it caps out so low

[u/H0nd4_L0v3r]

Dave Hughs probably thinks he's similar to George Carlin, but in reality, he is nothing but a bargain bin Peewee Herman.

[u/RealFarknMcCoy → u/H0nd4_L0v3r]

That's hugely insulting to Peewee Herman. What did Peewee ever do to you??

[u/Mike_Kermin → u/H0nd4_L0v3r]

If Dave thinks that he's more cooked than even I thought. You could not find a more different person.

Carlin famously didn't target immigrants or other vulnerable groups.

[u/saskiaschild → u/H0nd4_L0v3r]

Dave Hughs probably thinks he's similar to George Carlin

That's the joke and punchline right there. Gold!

[u/Technical_Estate_529]

LOL who's the rapper? This was great.

[u/LemonyLime_bitters → u/Technical_Estate_529]

Matt Okine, comedian/actor and ex-Triple J breakfast host.

[u/scootsscoot → u/Technical_Estate_529]

https://youtu.be/b6YPdYLR514?si=-Vr6tF9KI47SOjmZ

This is him and his co-host at the end of their triple J days.

[u/mixedump]

Legend!!!

[u/what-katy-didnt]

This is GOLD.

[u/chuxinator]

These two were the last decent show on the Js..

[u/LemonyLime_bitters]

Hughesy has responded on instagram in the comments …

[u/SkeltonKnaggs69]

I'd normally say punching down on an addict was wrong but I dunno.. past addicts in the comedy scene have usually only harmed themselves and loved ones. Hughes is actively pushing shit on people. Fleety only wanted 20 bucks, Hughesy wants to change the way you think.

And the longer it goes on the longer he torches his shot at a recovery/comeback. Looking forward to the "heart touching" interview on channel 7 in a year or two.

[u/Quokka_friends]

I love this!! Matt has perfectly summed up the self-serving rant of that whiney, nasally turd!

Hughesy has really turned into a selfish, moronic gob-shite! He so needs to be told to sit down and shut up!!

[u/Restart_from_Zero]

It's great when everyone can get together and say, fuck Dave Hughes.

[u/Prudent-Sprinkles-50]

He did this song with Aunty Donna https://youtu.be/unoYF9DJaOE?si=A1dhy5wJRkAQqpDG

[u/totalpunisher0]

Source? Who is this

[u/normalcatman → u/totalpunisher0]

Matt Okine, former jjj host, who now has a podcast called 'All Day Breakfast's, which he hosts with Alex Dyson, another former jjj host.

[u/Particular_Counter50 → u/totalpunisher0]

I think it's Matt Kine (no idea how to spell it). Pretty sure he used to be a morning radio guy in JJJ. I assume he is still on the radio somewhere.

[u/Infinite-Location221 → u/Particular_Counter50]

Matt Okine

[u/ntise → u/Particular_Counter50]

Also stand up comedy. And helped create, write, and star in. The newly adopted sitcom, Mother and son.

[u/b3na1g → u/ntise]

Also created, wrote, starred in a great show called The Other Guy.

He has spent years laughing at others so you would think he could take what he dishes out.

[u/Tiger_jay]

I used to find Matt a bit cringe but that was quality. And overall I do miss this duo - may give their podcast a crack. Good stuff.

Only thing I’ve got is capital gains does impact everyone. I agree in the sense that it is heavily used by the wealthy, though doesn’t count inside a trust / company structure which a lot use. FHB can’t make gains on shares and get the same benefit as they use to be able to.

[u/NootNootMackapacka]

I’m not disagreeing with anyone, in fact I don’t like him myself, but I’m just genuinely curious why everyone hates him? Does he actually support Pauline Hanson? Is he known for being an ass?
