Shirty: The Slightly Aggressive Bear was a parody of children's TV shows. The twist was that the main character, Shirty, would react harshly to even the smallest insult. Many episodes ended with a destroyed set, a firearm being shot, or injury to the other characters. In one of the later episodes, it was revealed on-screen that Shirty was played by the "Hando" character from Romper Stomper as portrayed by Russell Crowe. In every other episode Shirty was played by Rob Sitch.
