This is a riot: Mining Boom

I couldn't stop laughing after watching this. I hope it turns into a real show rather than these short previews:

Omfg. I work in Western Australia and spent time on site in the Pilbara mines and have those hi vis shirts. I nearly pissed myself laughing.

Its entirely accurate, in fact a documentary.

I was wondering why they picked this topic of all things. Now it makes sense.

Searching for origins of this show and found a job description for an animator to help produce more videos! He was only paying $500 so not sure anyone will take it.

That is a combination of Australian and New Zealand, bros.

Funny that the derogatory name for electrician is "sparky" there just the same! Wonder who came up with it, us or you all!

I understand them well enough but I'm failing to find the great humor?
Kind of like an older Beavis and Butthead but not near as funny.

Yeah the comedy is specific to the experience of being around people and situations like this.

You took the words right out of my mouth Sal. Don't see the humor in this. There is no accounting for great taste in humor like you and I have however.

Don't see the humor in this.

Actually I am experiencing the reverse. Being around people just like this, I do mean for real, and situations like this, I don't find it humorous.
