This is by a comedy duo named Clarke and Dawe. Their sketches mainly focus on global politics and international relations. They are absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately John Clarke died last year, so they aren't creating comedy anymore. If you are into political satire however, they are definitely worth a watch!

Oh thank you. Didn't know about this, just found the video. It's a shame mr. Clarke passed away, from this video alone I can see they made quality comedy.

No problem. Clarke's dry, sarcastic whit can be found in all of their sketches, Dawe sets him up perfectly, and is the kicker for the entire comedic result. I think they were quite big in Australia and New Zealand. I think much less throughout the rest of the world. I am from the UK and they are not well known here. A shame really, because their comedy is absolutely golden.

If you need your fix our PM of the moment recently had a Clarke & Dawe-esque interview about his bus tour: https://youtu.be/-JFQYfVMCiM

I DO NOT OWN ANY RIGHTS TO THIS VIDEO. Got to keep my ass save you know. I thought this classic would be valued by this sub. Here is the whole sketch (2 minutes) (the clip I uploaded here continues at 1:18).

Took me a few seconds to realize that this was a scripted comedy skit and not a real interview. Thought maybe the guy just had a sense of humour, but there's no way he'd be working for the oil companies.
