Brilliant timing. I think Ricky Gervais ripped off parts of it.

Did he die?

That last part,so prophetic.

Good to hear, and understandable. He was top notch in Denmark with Crocodile Dundee getting 1 mio people into the cinema - about 20% of our whole population. A huge hit and so human.

Blimey I’d forgotten he had a tv show

yeah. Usually the Oscars are so boring, and superficial, they aren't worth watching. His tips about booing and running out when you lose would be much more honest and make the Oscars more entertaining than the fake smiles.

Ever?

IYO

@@JaffaGaffa That's what happens when you make a deal with the Devil-you live a long Earthly life.

Super-outstanding piece of writing and performance both. A clinic, as they say.

I guess if you painted the Harbour Bridge for years prior to being famous. You may have a good control of your nerves.

How about the swag eh

Agreed

I enjoyed Paul Hogan's work a great deal. His easy sense of humor appears to be one of his best traits. As far as putting Australia on the map, I think you would know more about it than I do. I'm from the US, so I'm not sure I have everything right. That is, some people are native Australians, while others moved there, later. And, I tend to forget which is which. But, I remember hearing early on that the Seekers, with lead singer Judith Durham, were from the land down under. I enjoyed checking to see her latest from time to time, over the many decades, and seeing that she was still around. But, sadly, I was late on that account. It turns out that she passed away in August of 2022. I also took note of the late Steve Irwin, on TV. The freak accident that took his life saddened many besides me, to be sure. It would be easy to say, if you live a life surrounded by danger, the odds against you increase. But, he's still gone. And, I'll miss tuning into more new episodes. RIP Judith Durham. We loved your clean, uplifting tones and captivating charm. And, thanks for giving us your Georgy Girl.

Thank you for your kind words and appreciating some of Australia's artists. I remember the time well when Steve Irwin died also. Coincidently, I just happened to see a sting ray on the same day. Also Judith Durham passing away recently too. I knew someone who had met her and they always said what a kind and gracious person she was. I wish you and your family a Happy New Year over there in America. Let's hope things get better for the world this year. @@EdwardKrzynowek-fx5to

He was a rigger. He once joked that if he had to paint that bridge he’d have thrown himself off it.

That was well put, thanks for that.

I'll bet that Ricky Gervais was inspired in part by this very speech, and while he isn't perfect, Hoges is still a legend. :-)

He beat Ricky Gervais, period!

I'd quite happily beat Gervais FOR 34 years !

Ricky who ??

The difference is that Ricky Gervais is every bit the spoilt, self-righteous, virtue-signalling twat as anyone in the GG audience when he roasts them, yet the irony seems to be lost on him.

He wasn't underrated. Everyone use to quote him

Underrated has become the most overrated word on the internet.

He was No1 in Australia. It was him or Benny Hill

You had a black & white television in the 80's? You were a little out of sync with the rest of us. You do know they invented color televisions in the 50's, right? By the 80's, they were selling little portable color televisions, one even the size of a wristwatch.

@@robinstewart6510 B&W tv's were still in regular use by many back then. You gotta remember full time colour transmission had only arrived 7 years prior and many B&W tv's were still around.

​@@robinstewart6510 we had an old b&w tv in the 90s

Isnt it ironic how this guy who grew up in the tough western suburbs of Sydney, worked as a laborer on the Sydney Harbor bridge , and married with 4 kids by his mid 20s has got more character, class, brains and wit than 99% of the Hollywood elites in audience. He saw through all their bullshit.

Dumb speech

He did indeed! And I can't stop chuckling every time watch it!!

Love his plastic surgery and Botox! He’s the OG queen!!! 😂

He just does it naturally. It is effortles not just looks

Sorry to disagree but he's not a chap ; he's a mate, a bloke and sometimes a cobber. Chaps are Poms or leggings worn by cowboys.

And the 70's

he was nominated for best original screenplay, and lost to woody allen, for those who had forgotten

I miss the eighties!

James S I hope he gave Woody Allen a good old kicking for nicking his Oscar!

He started in the seventies on A current affair. With Mike Willesee.

Not society. Hollywood no longer have this kind of heart & soul.

@@JS-ob4oh And Never Ever will Again Ever Period!!!!!

He is still alive and doing well you know, so one can only wonder who is it you´re missing.

"Society" meaning what? That nobody else in the world has heart and soul on his level? Do you realize how many great-hearted people you just bitch-slapped? Generalizations are dangerous.

Your right.Sadly victimhood is now at the centre of all social and political discourse which disapproves of irony and the gentle art of put down, especially in regards to the ''Elite''.

Possible. Anyway, that was a great speech.

Ricky who?

No doubt

Don’t act like you don’t know who Ricky Gervais is because you do. Who do you think you’re fooling?

I love in Tucson. I should have paid more attention of when he was here. He'd be a great man to have a beer with.

Yep, he is just like me!

yeah... then he betrayed his wife. A great role model indeed...

Here Here. A real Aussie.

benicecunt o.k. This unhinged argument is very entertaining

Okay I keep getting emails in my inbox from you guys arguing and man it is nasty. Hogan was and still is a hero of mine . He made being Australian more than just pride he made us laugh and he put us on the map more than anyone else has done. But he showed that the back bone of Australia is just that. If he was our PM we would never have the shit we do now!

Would explain why he paid more attention to the speech versus just taking it as entertainment value. He really was paying attention and wanted to hear what Hogan was going to say.

@@David_Span Sounds like you have lived a sheltered life. I have run across a lot of this type of humour in the western suburbs of Sydney where I grew up and competed with the best of them and in the bush where I lived and travelled.

Yeah we know we watched the video

It was the funniest part of his speech.

somehow I have the feeling the live audience did not catch on to his Ozzy-flavoured, down-to-Earth sense of humour.

Did you notice they cut back on showing scenes of the audience shortly into his comments? I'm not sure all of the audience appreciated what he had to say.

@Cary Carpenter Wow! Who said that. Where did you hear it?

Then Billy Crystal came along a couple of years later and stunk up the joint with his "Wonderful night for Oscar" song. Man he was terrible

@@wotdoesthisbuttondo Nah man Paul Hogan had a fucking great show

That's a great way of putting it. And that's Hoges.

LOL 'wit'! It was dumbed down, pre-edited toned-down Oscars humour designed to create lame, low-level controversy. His production company would have spent days on that pre-fabricated 'spontaneous' speech so as to minimally offend. Notice they never take on their masters: the Holywood media industry, which is more deserving of witty, acerbic criticism. But you won't see it at the Oscars: it's all been pre-edited, pre-approved, and pre-tested with focus groups way before Hogan got up there. He did his job, got paid, and got the hell out of there. Hogan doesn't seem to want the limelight anymore - happy to count his money, and probably aware his humour was for an era and now that era has gone and it just sounds tired. Crocodile Dundee was the end of him - dumbed down, anodyne humour. But I don't blame him: he was just doing a job, cleaned up financially and now counts his money. At least he has the self-respect not to try a 'comeback' - in Australia it would be a disaster, and he thankfully knows it. Leave him as the legend he was in the 70s/80s.

It sounds like you're completely jealous of a guy that shares your first name, Paul! Maybe you should go out and make something of yourself instead?

@@NinoNiemanThe1st Your humourless put down full of bile,lies and envy only reinforces how great Paul Hogan's life and humour are. Nino Nieman, where have I heard that name before.

Go home to mother she will give you a shoulder to cry on and listen to all your tales of past glories.😿😿😿

Paul, unlike all the other speeches, wrote his own and the backroom Oscar people were in a tizzy because he wouldn't tell them what he was going to say but as Shakespeare said, ''all's well that ends well''.

Luis Ferreira I read your comment EXACTLY as he Said it!

Will Simp

Yes.

Will Smith should have remembered that.

Or "guess-ture" in Hogan's case. I thought that was a good hidden bit that he messed up the pronunciation of the word.

i watched it on a 12 inch b&w tv with sound near off so as not to disturb the rents, bbc had the god edgy stuff back in the day

I like the way he pronounced 'gesture'.

Depends on the person. Ricky Gervais certaintly wouldnt be allowed that. But some other person might.

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

A most audacious comment but I agree with the sentiment.

You guys prefer to be from the Nether Nether rather than Holland? DiD you know Australia used to be called "New Holland"?

@@AlienSexGod No, I did not, thnx for info :)

@@AlienSexGod " Holland" is a provincie (part of the whole country) of The Netherlands. Something like "a cow is an animal, but not all animals are cows. There is also a "provincie" that's called Zeeland. Guess where the name New Zealand comes from? Yes Mr. SexGod, that's right. So, greetings from Holland/ The Netherlands ( one time Nether suffices )👍👍

FYI The first European to discover Australia was a Dutchman by the name of Dirk Hartog. He was on his way to Java, modern day Indonesia, and got blown too far east. He landed on the coast of Western Australia, near Shark Bay. He left a plaque on the island now called Dirk Hartog island, which was found three hundred years after his visit. The name of his ship was Dyvkin, which means little dove. A replica of the Dyvkin was made in Fremantle in the 90's and it was sailed to Holland.

Johnny Carson, too.

Got a question -- Paul Hogan opened the Academy Awards that year with that great speech, but was he the actual host? Or was he sharing the hosting duties with some other stars? EDiT: Found out that he did indeed co-host the Academy Awards in 1987 with Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn. Obviously this speech was his best moment, but I would have liked to have seen a video of his other bits from the telecast.

@@suebob16: In 1987 Hogan hosted but had co-hosts.

Ain't that the truth

@b1itsjustme ...but he wants everyone else to know, sad isn't it?

Kind of like in CD when he turns on the TV and it's I love Lucy....

@b1itsjustme Why not? Maybe he came to reminisce about a time in history when the Oscars were not a globalist political shit show. It stands to reason that if a person thinks the Oscars suck now, that they'd seek out older clips from a time when it didn't.

Your kidding right? They got away with everything back in time due to no online media and a lack of tech. Hollywood stars were more debauched and disgraceful with almost total impunity. I’d suggest you take those tinted glasses off and watch Ricky Gervais fabulous and on the mark Golden Globes presentation.

It's the other way round. Paul Hogan doesn't act.

@@murdo_mck It is true. When you watch his interviews he says himself that he knew he was a bit of a one trick pony, and that he'd never be playing King Lear in a Shakespeare play: that's his words.

Going to "the land down under" is on my bucket list too!

Marco Deo: It was called ‘The Paul Hogan Show’. I was just a kid back then and I loved it. My favourite Hoge’s character was ‘Loe Wanker’. He used a cigarette lighter to look inside the petrol tank of his motorbike and blew himself up. I was too young to be playing with matches but I knew enough to know you should never do that. LMAO!

Yep, I can just see him doing that. down to earth and genuine 🇦🇺👍

Total one of a kind. There's no one like Hoges.

Matt Pannell truth. Guy's very genuine and kind hearted, I think that's what helped the Crocodile Dundee films feel like they had so much heart.

AMEN ..... He WAS "One of a kind" for sure ....Aye .......

Hollywood doesn’t like authenticity. They are in the make-believe business.

A ggod thing to introduce honesty as a feature of this put on display.

Never seen this before. Great speech not like now a days. Too serous.

I also think he's great and a really down-to-earth guy...btw in Australia we don't call them hillbillies (you must be from the US!)...we say bogans. And although Paul has quite a broad Aussie accent, he is NOT from the outback...but the western suburbs of Sydney (affectionately known as a "westie"...)

He's not actually from the Outback, he grew up in the Western Suburbs of Sydney. He was working as a rigger on the Sydney Harbour bridge when he appeared on "New Faces", back when talent shows actually had talent. A genuine Ocker, not a hillbilly - not many hills in the Outback.
