Product Description Angry Boys (DVD)Chris Lilley is back, and better than ever. The multi-award-winning, landmark comedy series from Australia has arrived in the U.S. Chris Lilley amps up his acutely observed character-based comedy style and brings to life 6 new characters: identical twin brothers Daniel and Nathan Sims (whom we met in Lilley’s original We Can Be Heroes); former surfing World Champion Blake Oakfield; U.S. rapper S.mouse; Japanese mother and manager of skateboarding champion, Jen Okazaki; and Juvenile Justin Centre for boys Officer Ruth Sims, aka Gran.]]> Review Shot in mock documentary style, Angry Boys explores the lives, dreams and aspirations of males in present-day society, spotlighting six characters, all portrayed by comedian/actor/writer Chris Lilley (Summer Heights High) – from a pair of 17-year-old twin boys in Australia to a 24-year-old Los Angeles-based rapper.

Epic hilarity
Love, Love, LOVE this series! The worst thing about it is that THIS is it- no more after season 1 :( so, that being said- enjoy every moment of it. Chris Lilley is a terrificly talented Australian comedian and character actor who plays various roles in Angry Boys- all of them ingenious, over-the-top, and strangely familiar... wonderful entertainment, slightly off color and definitely my go-to comedy when I'm looking for a good laugh. The series ending is one of the best I've ever seen on television and makes my heart swell. That's the best part about it, sometimes you don't know whether to die laughing or bust out a tear fest! I wish Nathan, Daniel, Gram, Blake & S'Mouse were real people, because they're awesome, and after watching the series several times, it's easy to get attached. Watch it, become a fan, and then explore Lilley's other performance art.

AMAZING
What is now a dead brand of comedy was so great. Chris Lilley is so talented and his character portrayals are top notch!

Must have,
Angry Boys is by far the best mockumentary Chris Lilley has done. The DVD is perfect, no issues all season audio in 3 languages and subtitles. Clear definition and audio, plus the features portion on each disc. 100% PERFECT!

Hilarious
Seriously one of the best shows ever. So hilarious.

Fat Fart!
This is a very quirky but fun series. We were sad when it was canceled. I think the comedic genius of Chris Lilley just isn't understood by all. One of the characters is a skateboarder and his overly controlling mother tells him to "fat fart", which is to say that he must fart so that he doesn't get fat. I have tried this, but it doesn't work in reality. If it did, I would clearly give this product five stars, as I am sick of eating right and exercising.

Worth owning!
Such a great season! The show is pure genius at its best!

Chris Lilley is a Genius!
Chris Lilley is a genius and this is his latest masterpiece. Much more involved storyline(s) in Angry Boys than Summer Heights High -- and all resolves in an ending that is so moving I still tear up thinking about it.I don't think he could have made this in the US - he doesn't concern himself with political correctness, except to make fun of it in his subtle smart way. Chris Lilley is one of my heroes.My husband just got us "Daniel" and "Nathan" (the twin brothers featured in the show) coffee mugs - we loved Angry Boys so much! Use them every day! (I'm getting a hat to match my Nathan mug.)

I Loved this heaps
The comedy genius of Chris Lilley of `Summer Heights High' fame returned with this rocking gem of a series. Chris plays a number of characters including identical twins, Daniel and Nathan Sim. Nathan is going profoundly deaf and reluctantly their mum has decided he has to go to Deaf School. So Daniel decides to throw the most awesomest farewell party ever in the uninspiring backwater where they live called `Dunt'. They also have a guinea pig loving grandmother, who works in a juvenile correction facility and is simply called `Gran, Chris also plays her.We also get to see the lives of their `Legends', who are all being invited to the party. These heroes are surfing legend Blake Oakfield, African American rapper Schwayne Jr who is also called S.mouse! and has all the intellect of a door mouse and a girlfriend with the best name ever - Lasquisha. Chris Lilley plays both of these too. Then their third `Legend' is skate boarding hero Tim Okazaki, who has inspired his over controlling mother to turn him into a global brand, based on the fact that he is gay and therefore everything is `Gay Style', problem is that Tim is in fact straight. His mum is played by Chris too and is my favourite character in the whole show, but they are all pretty good if not excellent.There are twelve episodes and the stories are all woven together really well and this is done in a documentary style, with interview pieces to camera as well as action footage. The humour can be quite gross in places especially where the twins are concerned and the language can be quite adult, but I just loved it heaps and was totally stoked by it enough to watch it twice. So if a bit of down under humour is your thing then you won't go far wrong with Angry Boys - oh and the opening titles are great too - ripper!

Brilliant!
Angry Boys is a triumph. Chris Lilley is a fantasic character actor, it's amazing to watch. I KNOW he plays all the main characters, but I still think of them as completely different people. The twins especially are so well done. Of course the show is hilarious - Jen Okazaki is terrifying (and as someone who has taught English in Japan, I think Lilley's accent and mannerisms are spot on), and Gran is awesome - but it's also surprisingly touching. The ending never fails to make me emotional... although the same can be said of all Lilley's shows, I think! (with the exception perhaps of Ja'mie: Private School Girl - she's an iconic character but not exactly sympathetic...)One more thing: doesn't bother me but may bother some more sensitive souls, there is A LOT of swearing. From Daniel and S.Mouse, especially. Like, a lot. Also veryyy dirty/crude humour. Wouldn't watch it with my mother. Oh well, her loss!

He's one talented guy
I've enjoyed everything Chris Lilley has recorded. Seems he's quite under rated in the UK and I don't understand why. He's had outings of series on BBC 3 but never hit mainstream, which is probably all to the good. But, for my money, his talent for parody and characterisation knocks the likes of Enfield and Partridge into the ground.Lilley is convincing as himself or a teenage boy, or girl or mid life female prison officer...the list is endless but I find him original, unassuming and so very, very, funny. This DVD's a cracker.

Chris Lilley does it again
Again Chris Lilley is brilliant with his acting and characters.Blakey is great as an overgrown man-child still surfing and running with his street gang......all this even though he had his testicles blown off in a fight.How Lilley intertwines comedy with emotional scenes is a gift not to many can match.This type of comedy is not for everyone, fans of "When the whistle blows" or "Mrs BB'S" steer clear.

Genius
This latest Chris Lilley offering is very similar to his earlier stuff; if you don't get We Can Be Heroes or Summer Heights High then don't bother with this. As with most genius there are moments of hit and miss and some regurgitation of favourite ideas, but when he gets his Nathan and Daniel thing going I rarely stop laughing. The high point for me being the anti-wanking gloves Daniel devises for Nathan, and the subsequent look of confusion on Nathan's face.
