Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Funky Squad was a hit show set in The '70s. What? You mean you missed it? Completely? Well, here's the deal...In reality, it was an Australian comedy series created in 1995 by the team who would later be known as Working Dog Productions, as a parody of shows like The Mod Squad where the police hire a group of (in this case, four) hip undercover cops. Who, in this case, are all wearing bad wigs and hopelessly 1970s fashions.Compare Danger 5, another Australian parody of '60's spy shows, as well as Garth Marenghis Darkplace, a British show with a similar premise about '80s supernatural dramas.

and Harvey Zdalka, Jr (Tom Gleisner) as "Poncho", who was mute as he'd "taken a bullet to the tongue" (the joke was that the "actor" spoke little English)

comment
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Spoofed most noticeably in the show's faux product endorsements, e.g. this Public Service Message by Joey Alvarez on drink-driving, whilst Blair Steele plugs a hair spray "now with added hydro fluro carbons".

Catchphrase: "You wouldn't say much either if you'd caught a bullet in the tongue!" is said Once an Episode. Da Chief's final words as he handed the Squad their assignment each week are: "Oh, and Funky Squad?... Be careful."

Bad "Bad Acting": Most notably with the 'spontaneous' laughter in the "Everybody Laughs" Ending.
