Aussie comedians’ full-frontal nude TV stunt

“Don’t think I’ve been more awkward in my entire life”: This Aussie comedy duo take things to the extreme in their new show. WARNING: Nudity.

Aussie comics go full-frontal nude for new show

Australian comedians Matt Ford and Jack Steele – aka The Inspired Unemployed – go to extremes to launch their new TV show The List, which launches tonight on Ten and Paramount+.

The new show sees the comedy duo travel around the globe to tick off some unusual “bucket list” activities, and a newly-released teaser from tonight’s premiere episode shows that among that list is a round of “German strip shuttlecock” at a naturist resort in the European country.

“There’s only one rule in German Strip shuttlecock, hit hard but don’t be hard. The List is finally out tomorrow and first up is Germany,” the boys wrote, sharing a video of their exploits on social media.

“All I can say is thank f**k for blurring.”

That’s not what their fans say. The post had the thirstier members of The Inspired Unemployed’s fanbase begging them to drop an uncensored version – which the duo rather implausibly insisted will air in prime time tonight on Ten (we’ll believe that when we see it).

They also offered some insights into just how awkward it was filming full-frontal nude content that saw them offer up bon mots like “my willy’s on other men” and “my a**hole’s spread apart” (both of these uttered after being hoisted up on other players’ shoulders after winning the game).

“Sitting on the bus in silence with our entire film crew was also fun after this,” Steele commented.

“Honestly don’t think I’ve been more awkward in my entire life,” said Ford.

One fan pointed out who the real hero is in all of this – “The editor who had to censor all this will need 6 weeks of leave.”

Premiering 7:30pm tonight on Ten and Paramount+, The List will run for six episodes, taking Matt and Jack from Germany to Japan, India, Finland, South Africa and Malaysia.
