Summer Heights High – Jonah Takalua Playlist
Another playlist this week. I’ve been studying hard (and had my confidence completely shattered today) for advanced biochemistry(!) and molecular biology so I haven’t had the chance to review any new music and I’ve been wasting a ton of time (or “study breaks”) laughing my butt off to some older clips of Summer Heights High.
Summer Heights High debuts on HBO (US) and The Movie Channel in Canada around November 9th, though it’s 7 episodes were recommended by a fellow Spikedhumor user showing me a few episodes and making me laugh hysterically.
Chris Tilley plays 3 characters, Mr. G – an overeccentric and somewhat stereotypical drama teacher, Ja’ime a schoolgirl who’s a total bitch (for the lack of a better term) and Jonah a 13-year old illiterate problematic child. Jonah in my opinion is by far the funniest character with excessive foul language.
Here’s a clip (Jonah getting his dick touched):
Here’s a playlist dedicated to Jonah Takalua (it’ll make sense if you watch the season):

I’m SO glad the States gets to see this show. Best Australian export ever.
