    Humour at its best
    Summer Heights High is pure comedic and satirical genius, but also a throwback to a time we could have a laugh and poke fun at ourselves without taking said selves to seriously. This show is the antithesis of lame modern comedy that's based around slapstick humour and talking really loudly. In modern times, rarely does a show dare to touch on stereotypes, race and other "sensitive" issues, but Summer Heights High does it perfectly while sharply reminding society of a time when the rage machine didn't find a way to be insulted or triggered by anything and everything. Perfect characters, perfect script and intensely funny. As good as it gets.
