    • Trivia
      Full Frontal was the third incarnation of long running comedy sketch shows in Australia. Beginning as The DeGeneration (1986) its main players split into The Comedy Company (1988), Fast Foward (1988), and The Late Show (1992). When both series ended they merged into a new show Full Frontal (1993) before moving to a new station later and becoming Totally Full Frontal (1998). A short lived all female cast series called Big Girls Blouse (1994) failed to last after one season. Some cast members such as Mark Mitchell, Kim Gyngel and Eric Bana attempted a solo series based on popular characters, however they where unsuccessful. Shaun Micallef has continued the tradition in many forms over the years in a variety of shows such as The Micallef Program (1998) and Micallef Tonight (2003).

      Derryn Hunch: Good evening, universe. Sometimes, it's not easy sitting here. Sometimes it's not easy sitting anywhere, especially if you've got piles.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of some episodes, "Plays of the month" are shown during the credits. These "plays" are outtakes from episodes that have been screened in the month.

    best ever skit show out of Australia
    This show was and still is the best skit comedy show to be made ever!! It was so funny. Many skits are still done in other shows that the performers from this show have gone on to do. Every skit was extremely funny, laughs-a-second in this one!! If you ever get a chance to see it, do it!! Definitely one to go out of your way to see!! 10/10
