I suspect that the writers of The Flight of the Conchords are very well aware of Our Mary. They've devised a wonderfully trashy character named Keitha to exhibit all of the qualities of an Aussie bogan as foils for the charming Kiwi half-wits who star in the show. I think Keitha is a thinly veiled disguise for Mary. Watch these excerpts from the show 'Jemaine Sleeps With An Australian' and tell me this isn't Paddington Share House Mary being skewered!.

Especially love the casual wallet stealing and the discussion of penal rellies over a cuppa!

OMG!!!!  I just saw this very episode night before last--and I nearly went to bed, without watching it.  Bloody glad I was simply too lazy to just get up and toddle off to bed!  lol 

I'm sitting there on the couch, next to hubby, and FotC comes on; I'm not sure I want to watch it, thinking 'I should just get some sleep', but something compels me to keep watching.  And then they bring out Mary the Keitha character, and I just BUSTED out laughing, remembering this thread.  And even though nothing remotely funny has happened yet,  Laughing Laughing LaughingI can not stop laughing--seriously, I was physically unable to stop (I think I was just beyond "the tired sillies" at that point though--really, it wasn't that funny....) 

hubby is like, what is wrong with you?

Finally I had to explain it to him, and of course I'm waiting for one of his "you're all just so jealous of her" or "she is so beautiful, why do you all hate her so much?" retorts, so that I can throw the throw cushions at him.

Imagine my utter shock  Yikes when he actually thought it was funny that there was a thread on RD that says that Keitha is just a characature of Mary..........because Keitha is just, like, the most bogany of bogans, the trashiest of trashy........the best stereo-type blasted character EVER!  Supercontent 

It took me a while to find my jaw, which had dropped, hit the floor, and subsequently rolled to an irretrievable depth under the couch......
