He was a dapper dresser who never seemed to have a worry in the world.” He was a journalist/editor by trade, then working on a Wellington newspaper. “Young Nancy’s father, Charles, however, was of solid English stock…an extremely good-looking, tall man of easy, extroverted charisma and enormous warmth. In sum, Ella’s people went a long, long way back in New Zealand, and physically she was like the land itself, rustically beautiful. Legend has it that the great Maori chieftain, Hone Heke, had loved Pourewa himself and had sworn death to them both, but had been killed in the Maori Wars before fulfilling his threat. She had been the first of her race to marry a white man, in the person of Nancy’s English great-grandfather Charles Cossell, and they were wed by the Reverend William Williams at Waimate Mission Station on 26 October, 1836. “Ella Rosieur Wake came from an interesting ethnic mix, her genetic pool bubbling with material from the Huguenots, the French Protestants who had famously fled France so they could pursue their religion freely, and Maori, as her English great-grandmother had been a Maori maiden by the name of Pourewa.

That is an ageless premise that hits the spot as effectively as it did 18 years ago, as evidenced by the dozens of ripoffs racking up hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube right now. The jokes don't land as often and the social commentary seems increasingly out of touch with reality (probably a consequence of Terrance and Phillip themselves having now lived longer as rich people than they did as regular folks).
Once upon a time, we would have picked Terrance and Phillip as the best fictional show within South Park, but sadly it has not aged well.
