"Australia’s funniest comedy character..." *****, Sunday Mail 2008

Sometimes life seems a bit tough, and you just feel like finding a quiet corner and having a cry. Well its times like these that Chopper thinks you should take off your skirt, grow a moustache and harden the fuck up.

As seen on C4’s sketch comedy show The Ronnie Johns Half Hour, Heath Franklin brings his award-nominated comedy alter ego ‘Chopper’ to New Zealand for the first time. After selling over 100,000 tickets in Australia and the UK, ‘Chopper’ takes no prisoners as he headbutts his way from Wellington to Auckland, via Hamilton for the NZ Comedy Festival.

The world’s gone soft since the ANZACS first stood on the beaches of Gallipoli. Sure Jake the Mus could wallop Hugh Jackman in a fight, but New Zealand needs a new kind of motivational speaker. It’s time for The Land of the Long White Cloud is about to meet the Man of the Long Brown Mo.

Through a series of multi-media presentations, motivations, puppetry and extreme but justifiable violence, Chopper hopes to change the way people look at themselves. From the Smurfs to hands-free mobiles, mangoes, Switzerland, to anti-smoking ads, even Darth Vader gets a punch in the soft guts by the International Ambassador of Hard.

So, New Zealand, it’s time to take a good hard look at yourself. You’ve become a nation of bloody sooks. Join life coach Chopper for a night of comedy, audience participation, and finding your ‘inner mongrel’.

Swine Flu? Bird flu? Equine Flu?

Harden up NZ. It's the flu. You'll get it or you won't Stop panicing.

Harden up and TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your actions, NZders! So many people in NZ that I know pass the buck, deny they did it or ignore it altogether. If you want to LEARN, to IMPROVE and GET AHEAD, you need to admit your errors and flaws.

NZ needs to toughen up on what they should and should not allow for in prison because I for one do not like to hear of how my hardearned tax money gets put into buying fancy flat screen TVs with SKY subscriptions, basically helping criminals live a better life on the inside then what they would be living on the outside!

Anti Smacking Law!!! When is the stupid law going to be revoked? The government needs to harden up and accept that light smacking on the bottom is part of good parenting!

Our great beer drinking nation needs to harden the F@cK up and fast!! The weekend's only one day away and I'm sick of hearing comments such as "We stayed up all night drunking a box an didn't even get drink" That's because the pussies are drinking 4% bog water, Get F@cK3n hard with some Elephant strong beer.
Did you even know some beers are 12%?! Better yet get a 40oz of whiskey and put some hair on that 10yr old F@cK3n' boys chest of yours!! The mafia didn't become the mafia by selling bottled bloody mineral water in the god damned prohibition years, That's no way to get nicknamed after a hard assed manic psycho (Or did I mean Motor Cycle) unless you're going by the name Harley, Davids son the soft tail!! Snap those tail bones into action boys, as if there's actually a spine attached to it! Stop using cuddly, furry little creatures as your damn profile photos as we all know the only things they're good for is a Sunday roadkill lunch and a pretty cool hat. GET UP, GET HARD or GO HOME!

NZ needs to harden the f^<& up to those interested in the colonial status quo; pressure from 'virtually' more powerful economic nations; and greedy psychopaths: and get back on track creating a forward thinking socially inclusive, self-sufficient island nation, leading the world towards a more content Mother Earth.

New Zealand is a LOT smaller than Australia, so harden the f*** up NZ

Harden up NZ and pull your balls on line and make a stand against Australian's telling us to harden the F@&K up! :)

Drivers in Auckland need to harden up and follow the road rules then the traffic problem would 1/2. Better still remove indicators as most people dont know how to use them. Why build passing lanes when everyone sits in the right hand lane and dont even understand there are 20 cars behind the dickhead in front who no wont pull over and slows the whole traffic down. If most people had to resit there license they woudl fail then that would fix the traffic problem in Auckland and force people onto public transport.

NZ needs to harden up about paying for Aucklands Roads, we need them, you pay. Where else could we drive our 4 wheel drives, not offroad of course, they might get dirty.

NZ needs to toughen up on the PC stance it has taken over the years. How many of us oldies got hurt on playgrounds that didn't have matting underneath it, or how many of us got sick from eating food that was a little bit dirty or from butcher's shops with sawdust on the floor? We need to toughen up our immunity to dirt, not become so unhealthily clean that we get sucked into all the superbugs going the rounds.

Lost your job? Get out there and keep looking for another. Look, look and look again. Until that works, sell stuff, do odd jobs for money - just do whatever you gotta do to keep going, provided it is legal.

Aucklanders need to harden the fuck up and get on with building a "super city" rather than snivelling over which councils are going to lose power.. or complaining about rates going to increase by 3.92 %

Our politicians need to harden up on crime. Stop being pussies with gangs and P. Get stuck in and sort that crap out. Make NZ safe and proud again. Chopper wouldn't put up with the wet bus tickets our judiciary hands out!
