very funny, smart show

I have no idea why new zealand is able to produce great television year after year with such a small population. I hope I'm giving anything away by guessing the arts portion of the economy is the highest on the planet.

From 10 outta 10 series like outrageous fortune, step dave etc now comes this totally off the wall blend of comedy; usually only shared at a party with close friends when you've a madcap friend. This is a much watch for fans of QI, Peep Show, Monkey Dust and Greenwing etc. Off the hook funny.

brilliant concept with perfect execution needs a salute. bravo disclaimer I've never been to new zealand never married one etc

I watched this a couple times all the way through a few years ago and just noticed it's on amazon prime and I'm already diving in and laughing so hard as if it's the first time watching it. Rhys is hilarious and Short Poppies is an absolute favorite of mine.

Darby doing what he does best

If you're into NZ humor, you're going to love this. Darby plays seven different characters over the course of the series, using his impressive arsenal of voices, sound effects, and fearless physical comedy to make each character unique. Keep an eye out for cameos and recurring roles by some well known NZ actors.

Just love it!

I found Short Poppies after Corner Gas and a few other great shows. It's hilarious!

I Just Don't Get It!!!!

Where they got the 7.9 rating, I just don't understand?? This form/type of comedy is neither funny nor entertaining to me. It's like 20 minutes of "fart" humour, or males getting hit in their "junk" for a half an hour!!! It's sad that the title ("Short Poppies") is wasted on this series. I could've seen it belonging to a much better series........ ie: Cafe, Rover, Sea Change, 800 Words, Nothing Trivial. Just have a "plan B", because this may not be your sort of humour either. CHEERS!!! X
