dobbin-4 We Can Be Heroes is the 2005 comedy hit that goes for 6 episodes which stars Chris Lilley as six characters. The show revolves around 6 people who are Ricky Wong who is a striving Chinese actor, Ja'mie a private school stuck up bitch, Pat Mullins a women who got famous for getting over her problem with having a club foot to becoming a champion roller, Daniel who is a country boy about to give his earlobe to his brother so he can hear again, his brother who does not say much but is hilarious all the same and last up is Phil Olivetti an Australian hero who saved kids life in a flying air castle. The show is definitely a classic and will never ever be beaten. It shows that good comedy is not dead it was just trying to get out of the way of teen movies. Overall this is a must watch for fans of Chris Lilley in Hamish and Andy and The Big Bite. I rate this comedic masterpiece 98%. GO CHRIS LILLEY KEEP IT UP. Also watch Summer Heights High.

alexhornbye3 This series, written by Aussie stand up Chris Lilley, exemplifies the extremes of emotion that Australian writers seem to encapsulate so well: The huge lurches from comedy to tragedy, that can occur in a single sentence.Lilley's transformation into the 5 (6 if you include the twin) different persona's all competing for the (real?) title Australian of the Year is outstanding - so much so that you almost forget you are watching made up characters with made up lives. How any of them hope to win this title is anybody's guess, being such a collection of narcissists and general hopelessly underachieving morons as they are. Only one character seems to be a person of charm; of heart; of warmth, and whilst (probably deservingly) bad things happen along the way to each, the ultimate sacrifice is reserved for the 'nicest' person.It's only Lilleys' own distinct features that drag you back to the reality of the situation. It's worth reminding yourself, whilst watching, that it's only a show, and that Phil Olivetti (father of two - saved 9 children from a rogue bouncy castle) isn't really the most hideously embarrassing specimen of humanity that ever graced the earth, even if he is the most hideously embarrassing specimen of humanity to ever grace TV.The whole production must really be commended for getting the Docu feel spot on. From intro music, voice over, editing style and the lack of recognisable (to this UK correspondent, anyway) background artists add to the feel. It makes you want to watch it, it makes you want to feel warm - that there are commendable qualities in these people; that they are deserving of our attention.I'd like to see Chris take on a different set in couple of years time; to create 5 more fascinatingly horrible people for us to laugh at.

Hkr-j This is a great show. I just laugh and laugh each episode i watch.Then I laugh and laugh when trying to relate to to others who haven't watched it before.And the thing about it is, you can't helping finding a bit of truth in every character. It's such a good take on Australian society and the kinds of people we choose to honour.It's fantastic to see that, where everything else being produced in Australia is garbage, there are still occasional gems such as this and Kath and Kim.I hope this is a sign of even better things to come.Chris Lilly is a legend

eamo With the local content down to a depressing 20% on our TV screens, finally an Australian comedy has been produced that can enjoy a well deserved cult following, and fill the void of Australian comedy to stand up next to Kath & Kim. We Can Be Heroes is a true blue satirical look at the search for the Australian of the year with six contenders all played by the ever observant Chris Lilley. The detail and subtlety Lilley puts into each character's language and social interactions is truly astounding. Most people would have gone to school with their own Ja'mie or have an Aunty reminiscent of Pat Mullins or experienced the vocal styling's of Daniel with his deaf twin brother Nathan. In the tradition of the mocumentary brought to us by previous comedy's the Office and Kath & Kim, We Can Be Heroes raises the bar of observational humour to another level never seen in this country before. A truly phenomenal achievement in Australian comedy in 2005. God bless the ABC.
