The show was most successful when satirising [[Australia|Australian]] society and individuals. One memorable sketch was a pretend episode of ''[[60 Minutes#Australian 60 Minutes|60 Minutes]]'' in which young people were portrayed as evil in typically one-sided fashion. Another was a supposed newsreel concerning the political popularity of a bag of sawdust, a thinly-veiled and scathing attack on [[Pauline Hanson]]. Another memorable sketch was the performance of the Spice Boys (a parody of the [[Spice Girls]]) singing a song with lyrics including "I've got graphic footage of Laurie Oakes eating a chocolate eclair", and was just an example of the biting satire that Martin/Molloy provided.
''Martin/Molloy'' received several radio industry awards and produced three ARIA Award-winning albums ''[[The Brown Album]]'' (1995), ''[[Poop Chute]]'' (1996) and ''[[Eat Your Peas]]'' (1998).
The show ended in 1998 and both performers pursued other projects, such as the films ''[[Crackerjack (film)|Crackerjack]]'' (2002) and ''[[Bad Eggs]]'' (2003) and the documentary ''[[Tackle Happy]]'' (2000). Martin took part in Molloy's controversial 1999 TV series ''[[The Mick Molloy Show]]'', and from 2004, Molloy returned to national radio, in ''[[Tough Love with Mick Molloy]]''.
Molloy's next project is the movie ''[[BoyTown]]'' to be released in 2006, while Martin has written a book ''[[Lolly Scramble]]'',
