Title is in reference to that TV show about Skippy the bush kangaroo. That was an enjoyable show, and one I haven’t thought about in ages.

- bigmattystyles 6y agoOh man, this is super specific and I am sure will apply to almost no one but - I was a kid in the late 80s, early 90s France and a popular comedy trio had a skit about a cult with a leader referred to as a grand guru named Skippy.(Grand guru when said fast in French sounds even more like kangaroo). My brother and I had that joke 'Grand Guru Skippy' for years! We got the grand guru <-> kangaroo part, but never knew there was a show with a Kangaroo named Skippy. That makes it even funnier. (The video won't make sense if you don't speak French, but in case there are others like me here) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_3hIoUGbls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_3hIoUGbls
- gadders 6y agoFor people unfamiliar with Skippy, think Lassy but with a kangaroo instead of a dog. If you haven't seen Lassy, I can't help you.
