A lot of people overseas don't realize before Eric was a serious actor he was a first class comedian...he had some funny characters lol

"Prof, because he finished year 9" - LOL!!!!!!

Can't believe this is Hector of Troy

Poida’s mullet has stood the test of toime.

Passiona, minimum chips, and a chiko roll

Long live Poida, a man of consummate integrity and style.

Still brilliant 20-plus years later!

$1.50 for chips!? Damn I miss the 90s!!!

i loved this skit back in the 90's. how could you ever forget Poida! all of the fast forward show was really funny stuff.

"POIDA" telling the kids a story while drinking a beer classic he was one of my favourite Eric Bana characters didn't mind him doing glenn ridge or ray martin

This is gold. I wonder if Eric Bana ever watches his old stuff on you tube.

Loved how he says "Passiona, minimal chips and Chiko Rollllllll...." ....that has me in stitches because you can't get any more bogan with that pronounciation. Bana's a first rate comedian and actor.

OMG, I work at a reception... a guy just walked into the hotel named Poida (Pojda)... nearly exploded.

That pigeon movement that Poida does with his neck, cracks me up!

I'm English and I get the humour. He's brilliant, wish we'd had this show over here. There was lazy, dribbly, dopey, prof... cos 'e finished year 9...

golden aussie comedy. man, i remember these shows years ago. i watched this sketch back when i was in kindegarten. nice to finish grade 12 with this. :)

That mullet is tops! Classic Bana

80 cents worth of chips. Shit you'd barely get one dim sim these days.

Loved this show when I was 9. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"once upon ago like last week" :D

Passiona!!! I just died... 😂😂😂 that drink is so good! XD

I will always associate Eric Bana and dim sims "A FREEEEEE DIMMY"

thank you fullfrontalguy for taking the time to upload it.

Thanks for enlightening me - i actually googled bogan to find out what it was, (KZfaq is an educational experience!) Never knew Eric Bana did stand up either. Going to watch Chopper tonight to further my awareness of Australian culture :)

Bloody oath, very funny, mate. Love it.

I'm here for Weekly Planet, and this is amazing!

Of course they still make Passiona and Chiko Rolls! You can get Chiko Rolls in the freezer section of the supermarket.

Bana is class. The next gen Paul Hogan. From this to the top of Hollywood's tree. Fair play Eric. I mean chop chop ....

For those who didnt realise Eric was a comedian in the 90s.. watch this.. one of his best characters : Full Frontal Storytime with Poida (Eric Bana)

Classic!! Just love it ~ Poida ~~

thank you so much for these full frontal videos coz i was only a kid when it was on channel 7 (i think)

Poida... wut a top bloke!

Poida long live

80c worth of chips; those were the days! Great clip; Full Frontal had some great characters.

he's come so far!! can;t belive thats the same dude in Munich and Chop Chop... Eric is the man!

Jeez this bloke has come a lonnnng way. Just saw him in his latest movie today. Gone from a bogan tv actor to massive Hollywood star. Go Eric!!!

Ahh the memories🤣🤣

its POIDA!!!!! havent seen this for years, funny shit

Lol hilarious stuff. I miss this stuff from Eric Bana 😂

"...a beautiful cass-lay..." Yep, has to be a VERY stereotypical Melbourne accent!

POIDA! What a great character - my favorite Aussie! He can read me a bedtime story anytime! Maybe the Goldie Sheila and the Three Wombats!

awesome

looooooool love it!!!

Fuck. A buck fifty worth of chips. Those were the days. You can't say 'Cheap as chips' any more.

nearly choked on a lolly laughing at this!

Besghetti on toast

*sigh* I miss Fast Forward/Full Frontal too :-( They don't make gold like this anymore!

Faaar out I remember watching this when I was a kid (and loving it) I never made the connection and no way did I ever predict that grown up version of me would think the same bloke was a bit of alright 😅

im not australian or have never been but i understood every word he said

I loved Eric Bana in Fast forward..He was hilarious! I was just cracking up watching it now too!!

Choppa chop chop ! His finest moment by far. Check him out in 'The Castle' a great Aussie movie and really funny.

this is why he was so bloody good in chopper!! infact, if u dont watch it but listen to it it kinda sounds like how he played chopper. long like bana!!!!

I love basghetti on toast. Snow white was a top bird. Passiona, minimum chip, and chiko rolls aren't bad either.

Will do, I've seen some of the clips of The Castle on here, heard about it through Hamish & Andy - tell him he's dreamin! I want to visit Australia now :)

Anyone got the 'play school' one where Poida gets the stubby of VB and says 'open wide, its a VB? The bit about skinning cats whilst making fluffy dice was gold!

used to love full frontal! Eric Bana, average bloke from Western Subs of Melb n now look! Wata Legend

I wish he was still doing comedy

the best yobbo ever

this is true, u really need be an aussie to get a lot of this.

Wow I had. I idea he did skits or stand up god he is funny as hell

Look at 0:11 --- It's Poida in the audience!!!!

does anybody know where i can download these? it would be muchly appreciated!

Haha!! LEGEND!

Fuck yeah mate. Ther all over tha joint. I see em all tha time at tha pub and tha footy. But not me. I'm from Croydon. I wear flannies and mocasins for comfort, not looks. No worries!

'basghetti' used to always say that as a kid!

classic mullet!

I have been looking for the sketch where he goes to the complaint desk at the department store asking for talcum powder-proof andies....I can not find it....I reckon that one beats all his sketches....If someone can help....please...

i

That was before he did deliver us from evil

Poida! oroit? Oroit!

i miss the old full frontal / shaun Micallef Programme days.

i just randomly looked up poidaaa and this is what came up :P why i looked up poidaaa? i'll never know

He was so funny at that time

He actually reminds me of Russell Gilbert in this clip

Open wide, come inside. It's a VB!

FUCKING my favourite!!!!

It's like a whole other language

No...when he was Chopper, he was using his Poida voice. Poida existed before Chopper: The Movie.

Who downvoted this and why? Bloody Unaustralian, that is.

in preparation for his role as Chopper

btw, Aussies made there own version, but its found in any Chinese restaurant around the world, there just half the size

what the fuck! So this is where Bana started his career! I never knew that! I knew he was from Australia but didn't know where he started, and didn't know how freekin funny he can be! In most of his films he's a serious guy, so this was awesome!

omg

Swoyt

I love him doing comedy then seeing him as Nero

Dragon is an Australian colloquial term for a lady that is not very nice. With their mean tongues, in effect they 'breathe fire' and are feared by people all around. When they happen to pass away, people don't tend to care and often celebrate the departure of the dragon. That is true as well.

sa-weet

Seven little bogans hahaha

Dayum, the accent is think enough to cut through anything. Pretty funny shit right here.

This was Hulk lol

"It's pretty boring, isn't it?" - almost sounds like Hogan.

Literally only here because of James and Maso from Weekly Planet

Somehow, when sexy men play characters who are humorously ignorant of how unsexy they are, it just adds to their appeal. ^^ *loves Eric Bana*

"Mirror Mirror in the flat, whos the spunkiest chick in the block of flats." "Not you you you ugly cow!!" lol funny. kinda struggle to understand him at times though lol

Here's another translation for any one who needs it. At the Dragon Lady's Fish and Chip shop "And when Snow White dropped in for her usual Passiona, minimum chips and Chiko Roll, the dragon offered her a free Dimmy." Passiona - Cheap passionfruit flavoured softdrink/soda Chips - is hot chips (which i think u should understand) Chiko Roll- Deep Fried roll filled with a mix of who knows what. Bogan delight! Dimmy - Dim Sim

anyone noticed that in this clip there are only 6 lilttle bogans mentioned and not 7 lol

Poida poida poida....oi oi oi

LOL...... seven little bogans... XD I love the way he says Chiko Roll!! =D 3:14 I keep thinking of Kath and Kim... Sharon: or are they just...defacto? Kim: day-facto, knight-facto.. the fact that they're facto-ing at all, is a dusgusting thought!

how ya goin!

@wonkinson Except for Kiwis...we love this shit too
