An Aussie comedian who was let off on charges of wilful exposure and resisting arrest after telling a judge he dacked himself to avoid a fight has thanked the magistrate for her "common sense" and taken a shot at his adversaries.

Dave Eastgate, who had enjoying a night out with mates after a day filming a crime drama on the Gold Coast, was in a pie shop on his way home when he intervened in an altercation between the shop attendant and a group of young men.

"When these under-sexed, over-groomed, meathead peacocks with job-avoiding tattoos on their shnecks (a shneck is when the shoulder and neck have morphed due to too many peptides) came into the shop and began harassing the attendant, I couldn’t help myself from calling them out for spending more time in the mirror than Honey Boo-Boo," Eastgate told ninemsn.

"The confusion created a fight or flight scenario and because peacocks can’t fly, they wanted to fight! I figured enough women have laughed at my naked form over the years, maybe I could lighten the mood?"

His tactic worked, he said, reducing a potentially violent situation to one of humour. But the police weren't as amused.

"Weirdly, the cops didn’t share in the frivolity. Not too many blokes can say they’ve been arrested for avoiding a fight!"

Eastgate was defended by lawyer and writer Chris Nyst, who has written screenplays about Gold Coast crime.

When Nyst relayed his client's defence to the court, Magistrate Jacqueline Payne asked whether she was supposed to keep a straight face.

Nyst replied that his client had a better delivery that he did, which is why he was a lawyer and not a comedian.

Eastgate conceded to ninemsn that he "shouldn't have been in the situation"

"I’d like to thank the magistrate for her common sense and understanding with what turned out to be the most expensive pie I’ve ever had!"
