  The Adventures of Barry McKenzie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Adventures of Barry McKenzie is a 1972 Australian film starring Barry Crocker, telling the story of an Australian 'yobbo' on his travels to the United Kingdom.
Barry McKenzie was originally a character created by Barry Humphries for a cartoon strip.
The film is also notable for performances by Barry Humphries in several roles, including: a hippie, Barry McKenzie's psychiatrist Doctor Delamphrey, and as Aunt Edna Everage (later Dame Edna Everage).

 Barry Humphries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His father was a well-to-do construction manager and Barry grew up in a "clean, tasteful and modern home" in Camberwell, then one of Melbourne’s new ‘garden suburbs’.
His father’s building business prospered, and Barry was sent to Melbourne Grammar School, where he spurned sport, detested mathematics, shirked cadets "on the basis of conscientious objection" and matriculated with brilliant results in English and Art.
The bawdy cartoon satire of the worst aspects of Australians abroad was written by Humphries and drawn by New Zealand born cartoonist Nicholas Garland.

 Workers Online : Review : 1999 - Issue 17 : Bazza Mckenzie Holds His Own
The 1974 sequel to The Adventures of Barry McKenzie is packed with lines like "Our dear little stunted, slant-eyed, yellow friends" and "Have a crack at putting the ferret through the furry hoop", which might have been expected to ring alarm bells with the powers that be.
Barry, his mates, their women and the governments of Australia and Britain must rescue Edna from the clutches of "the illustrious socialist leader" Count von Plasma before he discovers Edna's true identity as an Australian housewife.
Where the first Barry McKenzie movie aims its satire at the boorish postwar suburban males, Bazza Holds His Own goes after the smug new educated middle class that was taking on airs and graces in the wake of the "Australian Cultural Renaissance" ignited by the patronage of Gorton and Whitlam.
