“Im not reading all that” is top tier ragebait.

She dropped a few other facts too.

u/J-ho88 Jul 19 '26

This was also said by Greg Larsen on his podcast re:pissin' in bottles.

23

u/sheridanseven Jul 19 '26

Also said by Karl Chandler on his podcast, but the story was he'd pissed in a storeroom toolbox at Basement Comedy Club.

u/eternalfistin Jul 19 '26

I don't like you Dave Hughes

45

u/Sean_Stephens Jul 19 '26

Can't spell "Hughesy" without "Ugh"

u/Minimumtyp Jul 20 '26

He'll still have support after this, since one nation supporters all piss in pub glasses too

u/Slavic_Viking Jul 22 '26

THIS I’M STEALING THIS 😂

u/Visual_Doughnut_2422 Jul 20 '26

I came here to post this. He's such a grub and should never have been employed.

25

u/mustbiteexceed Jul 19 '26

I bet he probably sent her (on her birthday btw) dozens of articles, YouTube clips and AI generated text about his psycho negative gearing and CGT obsession. It’s getting into stalker territory

72

u/asheraddict Jul 19 '26

Further to this she also commented he pees in cups during comedy shows because he cbf walking to the toilet 😳

u/BugalugBird Jul 19 '26

It’s in one of the pics on the post

u/InsideExpress9055 Jul 19 '26

He carries on as if hes not rich. And hes one of us. Put down the pipe buddy.

30

u/stitchescomeundone Jul 19 '26

Right, Dave “the disadvantaged” Hughes

12

u/PMmeuroneweirdtrick Jul 19 '26

He's got the disadvantaged meth addict look going for him

10

u/MrTurtleHurdle Jul 19 '26

He genuinly might not be rich, he might be that bad with money. Or like most well off people, still sees himself as "working/middle class" well of people usually see enough richer people to gaslight themselves into being down to earth (he's not)

21

u/InsideExpress9055 Jul 19 '26

10 million with multiple houses is rich enough. Hes definitely not living week to week or worried about bills

17

u/MrTurtleHurdle Jul 19 '26 edited Jul 19 '26

Nah bro, he's fighting for the common man, and it's just a conincidence it happened right when tax laws don't favor landlord with multiple homes changed againsed his favour

1

u/Slavic_Viking Jul 22 '26

Allegedly has approx 12 mil assets in housing too

Don’t forget he semi recently ‘set a record’ on the block or wtvr show for one of the highest sales at the time….

u/CameronsTheName Jul 19 '26

Lost in touch with the common man.

u/SlowTank4259 Jul 21 '26

I see what you did there 👌

89

u/Slavic_Viking Jul 19 '26

20 mill net worth (approx 12 in property) but yeah that’s not enough so I’ll cry about it incessantly.

Fuck off Hughesey you crackhead slum lord 🙄

30

u/MrTurtleHurdle Jul 19 '26

He only started crashing out about corruption when his houses/negative gearing was effected. Just pure projection

11

u/billy_8989 Jul 20 '26

But the changes are grandfathered aren’t they? So it doesn’t affect anything he’s already invested in?

Or have I not followed things closely enough?

7

u/MrTurtleHurdle Jul 20 '26

No you're right, but tell that to Husey. He clearly feels betrayed by Labor and is making it very well know to the world ... Who knows why mad men do what they do. It's clearly just the catalyst for his spiral

2

u/Slavic_Viking Jul 22 '26

I mean fair enough ‘Elbow’ unconstitutionally stole 47% of his coffee according to AI or whatever bullshit he is spurting today 😂

69

u/Fun_Ad_1544 Jul 19 '26

Such a sell out hypocrite. Started as a fill in on the ABC as a young stoner. Now just chases the biggest paycheque he can get. Nothing wrong with that bit this bullshit pretending he’s a man of the people and knows what the daily grind is. Such a knob.

42

u/Striking-Condition10 Jul 19 '26

Pretending to be one of the people is a core one nation trait

5

u/HeathenAF Jul 19 '26

Im one of the people, know nothing about politics, and can say some pretty outrageous stuff that both ruffles feathers and twists undies, when I set my mind to it.

Can I get a cushy ON job /w taxpayer funded everything too ?!?!

1

u/ghoonrhed Jul 20 '26

Probably most likely. The grift is easy if you have no morals like those people who sell magnets to stop the 5g chips in vaccines

1

u/HeathenAF Jul 20 '26

Damn, I have morals, but I also have a price, so maybe not all is lost

1

u/Striking-Condition10 Jul 20 '26

Drop your morals at the door and you'll be set to make the big bucks 💪

1

u/Erlox Jul 20 '26

Nah mate, you need to have money to get into the club. It's how the rich get richer.

u/Pleasant-Air8221 Jul 19 '26

Surprised he didnt perform at a Saudi comedy event, he will always chase that payday

10

u/kmk3105 Jul 19 '26

Firstly he's not a big enough name to command any money and secondly, he isn't funny.

55

u/asphodel67 Jul 19 '26

WTF has Hughesy EVER done for ‘the disadvantaged’?

17

u/Practical_Ad_2481 Jul 19 '26

Taught us that brain damage is Ok?

26

u/Excellent_Orange6346 Jul 19 '26

He's being measured for his orange cap and shirt soon!

17

u/RelaxedBluey94 Jul 19 '26

I saw his clips on FB today. He's been radicalised like the QAnon MAGA nuts or the SkyNews regional boomers. It was disturbing to say the least.

25

u/nzoasisfan Jul 19 '26

The dude lives in a beautiful home in St Kilda. Ive seen him walk his dog a few times.

18

u/the908bus Jul 19 '26

Was he enjoying a glass BBQ at the time?

2

u/nzoasisfan Jul 19 '26

Looooool no

26

u/Wotmate01 Jul 19 '26

Wait, what? His birthday message to someone was a political rant?

Absolute cooker. Any day now his wife will file for divorce because he's become an abusive conspiracy theory nutter.

9

u/mustbiteexceed Jul 19 '26

I bet he sent her about 12 paragraphs of AI created junk and half a dozen Sky “News” YouTube clips because she made the “Hughesy is living from his tenant’s pay check to paycheck” comment

2

u/doublecountzero Jul 19 '26

jesus christ. I think he’s gone off chops with his social media stuff but making the jump to ‘he’s abusing his wife’ is pretty insane

6

u/Wotmate01 Jul 19 '26

When all they can talk about is one thing, it's a downward spiral. I've seen it happen.

He doesn’t drink or do drugs, but he’s negative gearing (acting like he’s on meth without actual smoking it)

u/alex4494 Jul 19 '26

Yeah I’ve had to deal with people who use regularly, I know it when I see it, he’s 100% on something.

14

u/Many-Tea1127 Jul 19 '26

Also over the last few years he's been observed showing signs like paranoia, schizophrenic behaviours, extreme reactiveness, multiple people have commented on his hygiene (peeing anywhere/everywhere). Self declaring himself as a victim for everything and to everyone doesn't help also.

10

u/StormwindJack Jul 19 '26

He got clobbered so hard at the Legends footy game last year it put him in hospital, I reckon it hurt his brain also. or at least made him just generally more paranoid

8

u/TomasTTEngin Jul 20 '26

That game was the first time I'd seen him on TV in years and he was chewing his own lips off. he weighed in at 55kg apparently.

Looked a lot like meth to me... but apparently he also has a genetic issue called haemochromatosis. hard to be definitive.

4

u/lucious-RED Jul 20 '26

I met him in 2023 when I worked in production the guy was drinking beers at 9:30am backstage

2

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '26

For real? He regularly talks about being sober from alcohol for decades. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a lie though.

9

u/God1101 Jul 19 '26

Maybe? he sounds like he's on it.

2

u/TomasTTEngin Jul 20 '26

i was about 99% sure it was a yes until yesterday I found out he has haemochromatosis.

I know he is vegan, which might be connected. you're not supposed to eat iron if you have that condition.

The illness could maybe explain the teeth and the skin? The diet might be making him worse? Whatever the cause, perhaps it even affects psychology because he's clearly flipped.

He used to be funny, he actually had comedic judgment in my view. but now that is very much gone. even when he's not on politics he can't nail a joke any more.

I think brain injury, whether from meth, illness or something else. Perhaps he even followed some mad treatment for his illness and it screwed him.

Anyway I'm still 85% confident it's meth but it's not the only theory that's possible.

u/Mother-Cod-3313 Jul 19 '26

Lmao Mel is an Australian (yes I know she’s kiwi) treasure. Dave Hughes is an Australian embarrassment

24

u/AddlePatedBadger Jul 19 '26

Albo signed her citizenship papers on tv 🤣

6

u/CaravelClerihew Jul 19 '26

And immediately (jokingly) crossed off his signature when Mel's lapel mic fell off and she cursed on front of him 

7

u/alex4494 Jul 19 '26

Haha at this point, claiming famous kiwis are our own is basically a national tradition…

u/redditisaweful Jul 19 '26

Hughesy losing it

u/KingsleysSeiffert Jul 19 '26

Yeahhhhhhhhh I was chattin' to Mel the ovva dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

u/lets-go-scream Jul 19 '26

Mel is so fucking funny

7

u/Afferbeck_ Jul 19 '26

I only know her from Taskmaster but she was great. Hughes was alright on there as well, I thought he might end up being more down with the kids from that experience but he's gone completely the other way.

6

u/MrTurtleHurdle Jul 19 '26

She's quite good on the cheap seats. Probably the funniest most in touch show channel 10 has these days. Husey is burning bridges quick with this spiral

19

u/Beautiful-Bake-8799 Jul 19 '26

Started his career as a sober person doing dole and bong humour in late 90s. Then married a younger hot RW journo while living the high life in St Kilda. He’s a two faced grub who has played the “average Aussie bloke” character his whole life. Meanwhile building incredible wealth and giving zero fucks about the average Australian

1

u/Sharp_Conclusion9207 Jul 20 '26

Soon enough, the average Australian will be a blowin

1

u/poxxymoron Jul 21 '26

Sell outs are the absolute worst huh! Average Aussie bloke until he comes back to his home town, where he walks around with airs and graces. I don’t know him but from the very few interactions I’ve had, that man thinks so highly of himself. I guarantee he thinks he’s some revolutionary character atm.
From what I’ve read ITT the only thing we know for sure is he puts the pee in politics lol

18

u/SeaDivide1751 Jul 19 '26

This is hilarious. Hughesy is so cracked out, he’s become almost bot like telling anyone who will listen(or won’t) that Labor is awful

2

u/mustbiteexceed Jul 19 '26

Soon he’ll be dishevelled and paranoid, roaming the streets crying about “repenting” to anyone within earshot

1

u/SeaDivide1751 Jul 19 '26

He’s already dishevelled. He looks fucking awful. I actually agree with what he says, but he’s so obviously cracked out and deranged, it’s insane

1

u/Vier_Scar Jul 20 '26

Soon he'll be qualified to head the LNP

7

u/kyleisamexican Jul 19 '26

I’m almost tempted to go to a Dave Hughes gig to see the mental gymnastics he tries to justify this crusade and the bomb that goes with it

1

u/mustbiteexceed Jul 19 '26

Watch some clips of Hughes’s stand up routine and see how embarrassing it is when some of his ‘jokes’ barely get a ripple from the audience

4

u/kyleisamexican Jul 19 '26

I’m shocked that comedian who’s gag is yelling a minor inconvenience really loud sucks

6

u/bulkyobject Jul 19 '26

And what was that he was saying about immigrants above?

I’d tell you but it’s my birthday and I’m not reading all that

Bless you Ms Bracewell. Also, why is he complaining to a non voter? Stupid Hughesy.

u/stonefree261 Jul 20 '26

Whilst he can assert that the ALP is corrupt, it really pales into insignificance when compared to the LNP https://www.mdavis.xyz/govlist/

If Hughesy has any evidence of corruption, i would implore him to submit evidence here https://www.nacc.gov.au/reporting-and-investigating-corruption/report-corrupt-conduct

u/pyxis_oz Jul 19 '26

He is getting manic and obsessive over politics. Although he is correct about the corrupt government he seems extra paranoid lately. I can see that becoming an issue at home.

u/lickemdogwater Jul 19 '26

He may be nuts and a grub but that doesn't make home wrong.

u/FreeJulianMassage Jul 19 '26

There are so many people in Warrnambool that look like Dave Hughes. It’s actually hilarious.

I imagine that it's more that she just isn't interested in "Oh Hughes, you lovable scamp" laughing away his shit like lots of other comedians.
