Synopsis

Skitz was a popular long-running sketch-based comedy that ran for four series from 1993 - 1997. This selection of excerpts contains sketches from the final season of the Gibson Group satirical show famous for its broad, take-no-prisoners humour and memorable characters and catch phrases. The wacky Semisi family and their 'fresh off the boat' antics inspire mirth and groans in equal measure and filmmaker Sima Urale is enjoyably ludicrous as the terrifying Aunty Mele. Jemaine (Flight of the Conchords) Clement and members of the Bro' Town posse also feature.

Hi. Trying to locate a song from a comedy show I saw on TV in the late 80/90's. It could have been Skitz. Does the song "Do up the House" with the line "Come on now don't be a piker, line the kitchen with Formica..." ring a bell with anyone?
