A scene from Chris Lilley’s iconic TV series has gone viral again as Taylor Swift fans scramble to get tickets for her tour of Australia.
The clip, shared by internet personality Timothy Abbott, showed the memorable scene from the comedy series We Can Be Heroes in which Ja’mie King is on the phone with a charitable organization.
The recognizable scene was shared with the caption, “Me on the phone for Ticketek,” as many Swifites ran out of tickets this week after standing in line for hours.
“Turn on your manager now!” Ja’mie, played by comedian Chris, says in the video.
‘Are you an administrator? Because you don’t sound like a manager. You sound like a stupid fat bitch.’

Ja’mie continues: ‘Don’t – I’m 16 years old! Keep your f**king b**ch face.
“I’m all 16 and this is going to give me nightmares. I’ll get my dad to call you and they’ll call the police. I’m deadly serious. Goodbye bitch.’
Hundreds of fans responded to the comments on the viral post to share their relatable experience trying to get tickets.
“I’m crying at how relatable and hilarious this is and waiting in line,” one user wrote.

Remaining tickets for the five previously announced shows will also go on sale at the same time and will be snapped up soon.
The Grammy award-winning star will become the first artist since Madonna to perform three consecutive concerts at the Melbourne Cricket Ground when she takes the stage in February next year, and the first ever to play a fourth consecutive show at Sydney’s Accor Stadium.
The new performances are in addition to the existing concerts in Melbourne on February 16 and 17 and shows in Sydney on February 23, 24 and 25.

The surprising news about the new shows was revealed on Thursday morning
Frontier Touring announced two more shows Thursday morning following “historically unprecedented demand” for tickets in this week’s presale.
“No further dates will be added for the Australian tour,” the promoter added.
It means that fans in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide who are lucky enough to get tickets will have to travel to Sydney or Melbourne.
Tickets are available through the Ticketek website. Prices range between $79 and $379 or up to $1249 if Swifties want to splurge on a VIP package.
Friday’s general sale ticket release is open to everyone.
The Australian leg of the worldwide The Eras Tour will be Swift’s first visit to Down Under since 2018.
The worldwide tour that began in March is on track to become the highest-grossing music tour of all time.
Both the presale in Sydney and Melbourne sold out hours after the release was available to the public.
Ticketek saw record numbers on Wednesday as four million Taylor Swift fans lined up for a shot at tickets to her 2024 Aussie tour.
The Grammy award-winning star will become the first artist since Madonna to perform three consecutive concerts at the Melbourne Cricket Ground when she takes the stage in February next year, and the first ever to play a fourth consecutive show at Sydney’s Accor Stadium.
Just hours after fans were dissatisfied when presale sold out, a Ticketek insider revealed that they had all wasted their time.
Frustrated Swifts waited for hours with their browsers open, thinking they were holding a spot in line, but it turned out there was never a line to begin with.
“Everyone in the Ticketek lounge has an equal opportunity to enter the premises, regardless of when they arrived,” a spokesperson said, adding it made the process “fair.”
Which means fans who logged into the pre-sale 15 minutes in advance had the same chance of getting a ticket as those who waited bent over their laptops for nine hours.
Ticketek’s official advice was to log in 15 minutes before the presale started at 10am in Sydney and 2pm in Melbourne.
However, many may feel misled as the site also advised those who logged in early not to refresh the page or they would lose their place in the ‘queue’.
Swift, 33, previously booked just five shows in Sydney and Melbourne for her Eras Tour next year and some speculate it’s all in the name of good business
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Ticketek for further comment.
Swift, 33, previously booked just five shows in Sydney and Melbourne for her Eras Tour next year and some speculate it’s all in the name of good business.
Advance tickets sold out in minutes on Wednesday as millions of fans rushed to secure their seats at the highly anticipated concert scheduled for February.
Nine’s Entertainment Editor Richard Wilkins, 69, warned it would be bad for business if the pop star added more dates to her tour.
“It’s good for her business to always have people wanting more, you wouldn’t want to have 10 shows and have half empty,” he said Wednesday.
That’s the modus operandi. It’s a ticket from a seller and she’s in the box seat. She has millions of fans around the world to keep happy.”
Ticketek informed Sydney fans via Twitter at around 1:45pm that “all general Frontier pre-sale tickets for Taylor Swift in Sydney are now sold out.”
