Temporarily detained in a psychiatric hospital, Bazza (Barry Crocker) shows his displeasure with an inquisitive psychiatrist (Barry Humphries) by demonstrating the meaning of the 'technicolour yawn'.

The Adventures of Barry McKenzie was a hugely popular satire with both Australian and British audiences in the early 1970s, partly because it conformed so well with each country's popular view of the other. To the British, Bazza was confirmation of the boorish colonial Australian who was increasingly frequenting their shores, thanks to the rise of cheap airfares. He was loud, aggressive, unsophisticated, often drunk and crude, barely educated and unintelligible.

These were the aspects that Australian audiences loved, because they proclaimed his independence. Bazza may have been all those things, but he was genuine, forthright, honest in his friendship and candid in response to English deviousness. Anyone who came 'the raw prawn' got a swift poke in the eye with the blunt stick of his indignation.
