At first I thought this was something about your truck...

I was going to be like: ", not something else..."

But that was pretty funny.

That was hilarious- was it real? As someone pointed out- it was like they were channeling Monty Python.

If the front did fall off, that would be epic. With all the problems I have right now..

As far as I can tell, it is legit. It could be in reference to the early 90s tanker leak where the first 80ft off the bow of the oil tanker Kirki broke off from a rogue wave off W. Australia. I love how the interviewer tried to keep a straight face throughout the interview but almost cracked halfway through.

This is a satirical sketch created by the comedians John Clarke and Bryan Dawe titled, 'The Front Fell Off' based on a real incident. Specifically an oil spill that occurred off the coast of Western Australia on July 21st, 1991 when the Greek tanker Kirki lost its bow, spilling 17,280 tons of light crude and subsequently caught on fire.

Wasn't it built so the front wouldn't fall off?
Obviously not.
How do you know?
Well the front fell off.

The whole thing was funny, but that was my favorite part of the whole thing.

I prefer:

"It was towed out of the environment."
"Into another environment?"
"No, it was towed beyond the environment. Its not in an environment anymore."
"Well, whats out there."
"Well, there's the sea, and birds, and fish, and twenty thousand tons of crude oil... and a fire."
"And what else?"
"The part of the ship where the front fell off."
