He's got a funny head.'

Like you've done something wrong.

Sometimes I feel like a criminal.

All I did was make them laugh.

Even prostitutes recognise me.

I walked past one the other day. 'Hey,

Manny, want to come up for a freebie?'

'No, thanks. I'll pay.'

G'day, mate.

How are you?

You're a nice puppy.

You by yourself tonight, hm?

By yourself?

Where's your mates?

Where's your mates?

Did they go on?

See you next time.

Abs workout

targets all those flabby bits

I just couldn't get rid of.

I have been working out...

Welcome to Fantasy Hotline. We're

just putting you through to our first...

Welcome to Fantasy Hotline.

I'm just putting you through

to our first available lady.

The young and beautiful Caroline is

ready to take your call.

- Hello?

- Hello?

Hi. I'm Caroline.

Who am I talking to?

Me. I'm... Thomas.

Thomas! Tell me what you

look like, Thomas.

I've got brown skin. I'm really tall.

Mmm! Tall men turn me on, Thomas.

Yeah. We're all tall in my family.

What do you look like?

- Long, leggy, curvaceous.

- Oh, yeah?

I love long, leggy, curvaceous.

Tell me, Thomas, what turns you on?

Whatever. I like to do anything.

What do you like?

Let's start with a long and slow

back massage.

What?

You're going to give me a back massage?

Oh, yeah! You'll love it.

- I don't really want a back massage.

- You're so tense!

- No, I don't want one.

- Let me press my thumb...

I said I don't want one.

Back massage?

I don't want a back massage!

It's my money. $5 a minute.

F***. It's cheaper

to go and get a proper massage.

Hello?

This is my fantasy.

I don't lay in bed at night thinking,

'I'd love to have a back massage

over the phone.'

Well. Mm, I really upset you.

Oh, sorry.

Sorry I snapped at you.

I just feel like talking, really.

What do you want to talk about?

Um, back massages? Just kidding.

Whatever.

It's better than watching TV.

Thomas. Sounds like a Czech name.

Are you Czech?

I don't know.

I'm a bit of everything, really.

I'm a mongrel.

Mm, sounds strong.

Yeah.

I got big arms.

I've got a beard.

I'm really manly.

No, I'm not.

I'm bullshitting.

I'm 5'7", bald. I've got wing nuts.

What's a wing nut?

Wing nuts. You know when your ears

stick out like a wing nut?

Wing nut?

Yeah, that's what you call someone

with big ears... wing nuts.

Anyway, that's what I've got...

f***ing wing nuts.

You think it's funny that

somebody's got wing nuts, do you?

No! I think it's funny that

you call them 'wing nuts'.

Anyway, let's get off my wing nuts.

Let's talk about something else.

This is supposed to be

an erotic phone call, isn't it?

If you want it to be.

Do you want it to be?

Carl Barron (born 11 June 1964) is an Australian theatre and television comedian. His style is based on observational humour. He was born in Longreach, Queensland, the son of a sheep shearer, and formerly worked as an apprentice roof tiler. Barron has released four DVDs, entitled Carl Barron LIVE!, Carl Barron: Whatever Comes Next, Carl Barron: Walking Down The Street, and Carl Barron: A One Ended Stick. In November 2010 a box set entitled "All The Stuff I've Done So Far" was released, which included the first three previous titles, plus a documentary and outtakes. In 1993 he was voted 'Comic of the Year' and 'Best Up and Coming Talent' and has since made many TV appearances in commercials and on TV shows such as Rove and Thank God You're Here. Barron made his first television appearance on the NRL Footy Show on 17 April 1997.One of his perpetual jokes is that several people have mistaken him for people such as Australian musician Paul Kelly. He once stated "I reckon if Paul Kelly and Gandhi had a baby, I'd be it!". He has regularly sold-out shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Barron has been very successful in Australia with the DVD release of Carl Barron LIVE! going four times platinum, making it the most successful Australian comedy DVD in Australian history.
