Ladies and gentlemen. It's finally here. The moment we've all been waiting for. Five years, one month, and twenty-seven days later: May 5th! Polling day! And what better way to celebrate than to kick off your heels and sing. And dance. And do the bossa nova. So jom. Marilah mari. Mari mengundi.
#92 Apa Lagi Cina Mahu? Aired Monday, 15 April 2013
Apa lagi Cina mahu? It's the one question on every Malaysian's mind. After 55 years of living under one flag, it would take an electoral tsunami to make us wonder what's really going on with our fellow Chinese brethren. I mean how well do we really know them? Do we share the same hopes and ...

#88 Listen! Listen! Listen! Aired Wednesday, 23 January 2013
Following last week's peristiwa mahasiswa, caught on YouTube for all to see, the one question on everyone's mind is what does it say about us as a nation when we treat our strong, independent, opinionated women with such disdain? We mock them. We malign them. We don't give them a chance to ...
#87 Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow Aired Friday, 7 December 2012
The recent revelation that there exist municipal by-laws in Kelantan that prohibit barbers and hairstylists from attending to customers of the opposite gender have left us at That Effing Show with many many questions. What does it mean for the hairdressing economy when women can only touch the ...
#86 The Jews. The Jews. The Jews Are Coming. Aired Wednesday, 3 October 2012
The election draws near, conspiracy theories abound, and once again those dastardly Jews are in the spotlight. This time Soros and his gaggle of Shylocks are being accused of subversion from within. Done with trying to ruin us by destabilising our currency, these outside forces are now hell bent ...
#85 Gay Guidelines Aired Monday, 24 September 2012
Thank God for our education ministry and their infinite wisdom. For without their gay guidelines, without their carefully curated list, how will parents know whether or not their child is a homosexual? How will they take action? How will they be able to cure them, to put them right, to set them ...
#84 The Merdeka Ad Aired Monday, 3 September 2012
What does Merdeka mean? Does it mean freedom and independence? Is it about shedding the shackles of colonialism? About having the ability to shout inanities across the Internet without fear of punishment or persecution. Maybe it's about Janji Ditepati or Janji Dicapati or Jumanji Dita Von Teese. ...
#83 Minta Maaf, Sorry, Excusez-Moi, Auf Wiedersehen? Aired Thursday, 16 August 2012
This week the boys really get into the "maaf zahir dan batin" mode and apologise profusely for everything they've ever said or done. Jangan marah ye? Selamat Hari Raya from all of us on That Effing Show.

That's right folks. The logo for our 55th merdeka celebrations. "1Malaysia Janji Ditepati." In all it's magnificent WordArt glory. You've seen it. Your senses have been offended by it. You've even started your own crowdsourced design campaign in search for a better more hipster replacement. Such ...
#81 Crimewatch, KL Aired Friday, 3 August 2012
Living in Kuala Lumpur is a little bit like watching an episode of Criss Angel: Mindfreak. We see crime happening all around us - from snatch thieves, to abductions, to home invasions, to samurai sword wielding second comings - but are constantly told that it isn't real. Our perception of ...
#80 More Letters to That Effing Host Aired Friday, 20 July 2012
We've been away for quite a while and a whole lot has been going on in this glorious nation of ours. Soaring perceptions of crime. Our politicians engaging in live debates and sing-a-longs.

#79 Protes! Aired Thursday, 12 July 2012
BANTAH! MANSUH! Boo. Hiss. Down with things. We Malaysians have developed a real boner for protesting. From wanting clean and fair elections to showing our appreciation for the human buttock, we are truly embracing our rights as enshrined in article 10 (1)(a) of our federal constitution. 10 ...
#78 The Super-duper-oppo-friends Aired Tuesday, 24 April 2012
"Look! Up in the sky..." It's hero season boys and girls. Heck, forget The Avengers. Captain America has nothing on Super-Najib. It was brought to our attention that there was a comic book being circulated in schools across Malaysia that contained depictions of our very own Prime Minister in ...
#77 Di Sebalik Tabir Aired Tuesday, 10 April 2012

#76 Homo Is Where the Heart Is Aired Tuesday, 3 April 2012
The BN MP from Sekijang claimed in parliament that 3 out of 10 Malaysian men are gay. Shocking. Startling. So much so it sounds made up. But why let the truth get in the way of a good controversy? Datuk Baharum Mohamad believes that "we have to find a solution to combat these activities from ...
#75 The People Versus Erykah Badu Aired Tuesday, 6 March 2012
It's not easy being Malaysian, constantly having to balance our love for God with our love for Lady Gaga and Erykah Badu, for Michael Jackson's crotch grab and Mariah Carey's boobies. And boy it sure is hard. Our faith constantly being challenged. Our eternal souls constantly being tested. Those ...
#74 Sex and Chew-ren Aired Tuesday, 28 February 2012
A sex book for children? With penises and poonanis? With cartoon images of overweight old people going at it like rabbits? This is like no hentai we've ever seen before. It's no wonder UMNO Youth wants it banned. Last week the folks at the Umno Youth Community Complaints Bureau, being the big ...

#69 Say X to Xmas Aired Friday, 23 December 2011
It's been a tough year for our brothers and sisters of the cross. Their plans to install a Christian Prime Minister were foiled. Their efforts at converting Muslims were thwarted.

In this third installment of our OWC trilogy, Ezra comes face to face with the dark side, Faiq leads an Ewok rebellion, and Uma is nowhere to be found. The evil empire is on the verge of victory and the only thing that can save the day is if we men have simultaneous sex with all of our wives. ...
#67 Apa Itu Seks Islam? Aired Tuesday, 18 October 2011
Islamic sex. What is it? How does it work? And what does it have to do with the Jews? Well, we don't know. We haven't been able to get our hands on that new Obedient Wives Club book. But fear not friends and fans, for that isn't going to stop us from answering those probing questions, from ...

#65 That Hudud That You Do Aired Tuesday, 4 October 2011
Hudud. Najib says no. Karpal says no. Muhyiddin says not yet. Anwar says just in Kelantan. Tok Guru says bring it on. Everyone is being respectful. Everyone is agreeing to disagree. And amidst all the noise, the rakyat is once again left totally and utterly confused as to what is right, as to ...
#64 Sejarah Malaysia Revisited Aired Tuesday, 13 September 2011
Hallelujah boys and girls. Have you heard the good news? The best and brightest minds in Malaysia have come together in the form of a Majlis Professor Negara and announced that this land of ours was never conquered by those tea drinking pale faced limeys but was merely a protectorate. Confused? ...
#63 Iftar Aired Tuesday, 23 August 2011
It's that time of year again. It's bulan Puasa. We're three weeks in. We're almost there. We're almost at the finish line. But Ramadan is more that just about abstaining from food.

#59 Newspaper Nuances Aired Tuesday, 26 July 2011
Tell us if this sounds familiar? You're in an elevator, and everyone around you is speaking a language you don't understand. You feel uncomfortable. You think they're talking about you. You're sure they just said something about your mother. You know what? You're probably right. Ever wonder ...
#58 Post Bersih Aired Tuesday, 19 July 2011
It's over. The hype and hoopla surrounding Bersih came and went. There were tears of joy (and tear gas). We saw people standing up for their rights (and running away from water cannons). Others were furious about the mishandling of the event (while furiously retweeting!). And what of the ...

#0 "The" Effing Show? Aired Tuesday, 31 May 2011
Believe it or not, the Ezra Zaid that we all know and love wasn't the first choice to host That Effing Show. He wasn't the second choice either. Or even the third. In fact, there were extensive Idol style auditions held all across the nation. Aspirants, both young and old, vied for this once in ...
#54 How to spot a racist? Aired Tuesday, 24 May 2011
If there is one credo that we Malaysians stand by, it's that we're all a little bit racist, sometimes. Whether it's UMNO or PAS. Whether it's MCA or DAP. Whether it's some teacher in a rural school telling the Chinese to go back to China. But how do we distinguish between the real racists from ...
#53 Which Malaysia Ah? Aired Tuesday, 17 May 2011
In an attempt to cope with all of the recent insanity, three Malaysians - one Malay, one Chinese, and one Indian - find themselves, once again, in group therapy, at their regular Malaysians Anonymous meeting. Why? Because it's been a rough couple of weeks. Heck, it's been a rough couple of ...

#48 Sara-What??? Aired Tuesday, 15 March 2011
It could happen anytime: next weekend, next week, next month even! The impending Sarawak state elections are upon us and the potential impact on our nation's history is huge - though not as huge as the effects of an 800-page memoir ... SNAP! But what is it that we know about what goes on in ...

#44 PPPA Powers, Gypping Egypt, and Gong Xi, Gong Xi Aired Tuesday, 1 February 2011
The government wants to use the PPPA to regulate the Internet? To censor blogs? To arrest the "seditious?" Have they not been watching the news? Don't they realise what happens when you take away YouTube and Twitter and Facebook and Maria Ozawa? (Good lord, don't take away Maria Ozawa.) Well ...

#40 The End Aired Tuesday, 23 November 2010
