Looks like someone wrote one, but it says the show has done 269 episodes. Is that right? Hmm. I guess it's nice to have one up finally.

The listing is partly bogus and meant as a sick form of satire. Actually the episode count is closer to 200 broadcast so far.

Well, that means we should work to recreate it then. I think some people may have tried to abuse it.

The tall poppy syndrome (TPS) is a pejorative term primarily used in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other Anglosphere nations to describe a social phenomenon in which people of genuine merit are resented, attacked, cut down, or criticised because their talents or achievements elevate them above or distinguish them from their peers.

As a Canuck I can say I've never heard of TPS, though the idea of a giant tall poppy has great appeal to the gardener inside of me. I'm much more familiar with the catch phrase, "crabs in a bucket" as recently outlined on the show by O'Brien on the show.

Very common expression down here, basically anyone or thing that displays obvious success should be cut down to size.

As for crabs the only reference ive heard recently was a large number of dead crabs washed up on bondi beach, fears of an environmental disaster were allayed when it was discovered Paris Hilton had been swimming there that morning
