Hamish Blake and Andy Lee are an Australian ComedyDuo who, while most famous for their radio shows, have also dabbled in television; the two are something of an ubiquitous force in Australian media, regularly making guest spots on panel shows and the like. Their most famous effort is ''The Hamish & Andy Show'', a weekly (daily until 2011) afternoon radio program on the Today Network. After several years of doing television specials on Creator/NetworkTen, the Creator/NineNetwork signed an on-going television deal with the duo from 2011 onward; so far broadcasting their "Gap Year" series (where they explore a continent for RuleOfFunny content), True Story (a series built around [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin weird true stories]], hosted by Hamish and Andy) and Perfect Holiday.

** Hamish used to have a weekly feature where he'd read and describe a ''Fanfic/FredBasset'' strip over the radio. Andy despised this and the only way he'd allow it to go on air was by putting Hamish through a variety of tortures (usually throwing things) while Hamish was doing the bit. The head of the station had to put a stop to the segment after Andy destroyed a computer monitor with a hammer.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Hamish spent months making a fuss that he'd ordered Steven Seagal's LIGHTNING BOLT energy drink but never received any and started an impromptu campaign about it with his radio listeners, promising that if they themselves bugged the manufacturer about it, he'd give every contributor an equal share of his order. As it turned out, the product had been discontinued but someone involved with the product got word of the campaign and sent Hamish that last two cans of LIGHTNING BOLT known to exist. Hamish and Andy then found themselves having to purchase a large number of vials and tediously put literal drops of LIGHTNING BOLT into each one in order to make good on Hamish's promise.

One of the pirates mentioned his intention of using the map to find a port were he could pillage and “inappropriately touch” women.
* ElNinoIsSpanishForTheNino: ''"El Paso is Spanish for the Paso."''
* GoldenSnitch: A game called Random John, in which a random phone number is dialed. If the person who answers the phone is called “John Johnson”, the caller gets 50 "john points", making it something of a golden snitch. However, since they have been playing this game for over three months and still have not gotten a single john point, even getting a “John” could qualify as at least a silver snitch.
* InsistentTerminology: Hamish's habit of referring to Andy's house as the Lair, to the point where his apartment in New York which Andy called The Nook eventually became known as the Lair after three weeks.
** Hamish also calls Andy a prowler (ever since his breakup with Megan Gale) and himself Andy's love coach, despite Andy's strenuous objections.
* NameAndName, in conjunction with TheEponymousShow.
* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: "This was going to be the greatest thing we had ever seen... at a Thai rocket festival."
* SelfDeprecation: When Hamish put on some weight, many jokes were made about it; Hamish made more jokes about it than Andy did.
