Thank God You're Here - Scout's dishonour

Quick in relapse is not entirely enough to catch the opening, and then it's all in straight with the set up and catch.

There's only a one way door when Shaun Micallef hits the tent on a base of Mount Everest. Eating yellow snow, corpses of Sherpas and death from a lack of oxygen wander in calmly as the man himself. Smooth and like walking through a field of grass without any pockets and not feeling the catch of the plants.

Pretty open mad libbing with Dailan Evans hitting the movie reviews. Pauses are open and his eyes just drop on the floor with the task of trying to make sense of an Iranian film. One featuring a good dose of a mandarin in focus and very, very artsy shots that mean nothing on their own. Never an easy task in real life, but making it funny sure smarts a lot.

Smooth caramel comes to mind looking at the face of Bianca Dye. An ITA travel agent, the tank is filled with alcohol and dripping with a cup of coffee laced with that special unfreezable potato water. Walking off to handle and play against a phone call to the head set is too easy, shouting and making the offense part of her defence.

Swinging in with a moustache and an attitude of dapper lordship, Josh Lawson obliterates the ensemble cast. They can't react fast enough or with anything near the quality and pace of Lawson's offerings. Flash pan fast with his quips and barbs, the scene is all his and nobody walks away easy. King of the night with a crowning array of cuss words for a rather early time slot than censors would normally bear.

Freaking the woggle and handing the cub scouts sticks of dynamite are the genius ideas of improving the numbers of the organisation. Clearly the madness has gotten to them and the "Be prepared" motto never sees the destruction of its own coming. Tattoos to the skeleton instead of the merit badges? Even more of the uncanny stuff that fly out of Micallef, champion of the night, when let loose in a group.
