Popular Star Wars character and queer robot identity C3-PO has revealed his pride today at two recent graduates of his famous media training school have finally hit the big time.
Both Opposition leader Sussan Ley and Liberals deputy leader Tedward O’Brien entered C3-PO’s crash 6-week media training course earlier this year in anticipation for new and improved roles in a possible Dutton Government. However, that failed to materialise.
But every cloud, they say, has a silver lining.
Emerging as the great hope of the party that Robert Menzies brought to life, Ley and O’Brien have done a series of interviews in the wake of the election result and many around the country are seeing and hearing them for the first time.
Some of them were down at the Gelded Seahorse Hotel in the French Quarter last night.
“She sounds a bit robotic,” one punter said.
“Like she’s delivering a soundbite that she already had in her head. It doesn’t matter what you ask, that was the answer you were going to get. You know, it’s just very wooden. It’s like in the King’s Speech when that [redacted by legal] and the King went on that journey, he ended up talking OK in the end. Did she have a stutter like the King and she’s bunging on a robot voice to cover it up? Who knows, I break shit up and throw it in a skip for a living.”
When pressed, the same punter said he actually watched that Four Corners with PK on Monday (his designated alcohol-free night) and came face to face with Tedward O’Brien for the first time.
“Christ alive,” he said.
“Where is this bloke from? Why is he speaking the same way?”
The punter was absolutely blown away to learn they were both media trained by the robot from Star Wars.
“Fuck me,” he said.
“Small world.”
More to come.
