It’s Aussie TV’s night of night’s and this year we’ve hit the big 6-0.

Yes, the 60th Annual TV Week Logie Awards have kicked off and Dave ‘Hughsie’ Hughes has already poked fun of some of the biggest names in television. And that’s why we love him.

In case you missed his introduction or just want to relive it, here are some of Hughsie’s best zingers.

On his own hair

“I like it, it’s getting mixed reviews. Someone put a photo of me next to Alice from The Brady Bunch and it’s a dead ringer, no doubt about it.

On Karl Stefanovic and Ubergate

Karl it’s ok, you shouldn’t have been b*tching about your work colleagues, I’m sure Georgie’s very happy with it. Still on the fence Georgie or did you take a pail off and hit him in the head with it?

Can you imagine Karl and his brother in the bunk beds at home as kids just talking smack about Mum? She’s outside the door going, ‘I can hear you d*ckheads!’

On Lisa Wilkinson and her decision to leave The Today Show

Lisa, you left for pay parity, I know. You weren’t getting that were you? No. You are not getting at the The Project either … You’re earning double. Don’t blame me for that joke … Blame Carrie and Waleed.

Karl was on the receiving end of Hughesy’s digs due to ‘Ubergate.’

On the Barnaby Joyce Sunday Night interview

My favourite moment was when he was changing the nappy and Vicki his partner said, ‘He is surprisingly good at it.’ Is he Vicki? He’s got four other kids. He’s done it before!

On Andrew Winter’s Gold Logie nomination

It’s nice to put a face to the name.

And in case you missed any of the action at last year’s Logies, watch him tear The Bachelor‘s Richie and Alex to shreds
