A selection of sketches from this award-winning skit based comedy series featuring Willy de Witt, Ian Harcourt, Peter Murphy and Dean Butler (with occasional animation by Chris Knox). The Hoons display their all of their charm and tact at the beach — but cruising for action (in a car truly worthy of them) results in a heated confrontation with one of their rivals. The classic Norman the Mormon also features, alternative Dunedin bands of the 1980s are lampooned and Lucy Lawless makes her TV debut in an ad spoof that anticipates her future role in Spartacus.

Can we get "NZ, NZ we've got lots of sheep, if only we could sell some that would be real neat" I am pretty sure it was from this show!
Great to see these clips! Would love to see more especially Punks of Peace!
I have been trying to see the Anus clip for years. Thanks for putting these clips on. Can I request out of it man? Pud? and the Corn song?
Lucy looked extremely beautiful in her skit.

I remember being involved in filming a sketch with them that never made it into the program.
Actually my entire class from Remuera Intermediate was involved in it.
They filmed a bit playing rugby against us and pushing us over because they were such big kids (adults):)
I was also a kid who had been to the dentist and came in with a note handing it to the camera for the teacher to send out one of the guys.
I think we got to see the finished result later on but it was never on tv.
One of the other boys in our class "Daniel Robinson" was in some other sketches with them that did appear on tv.
