Thank God You're Here: Difference between revisions

Good performers often create ridiculous lines like, "My grandfather actually lost a leg in the war. It wasn't his, he was a medic." or in an All-In Group Challenge where they were Vikings:

 

Ken the Conqueror: So when you're attacking by the enemy, don't stab him, slice him and dice him, pop him in the freezer and have him a bit later on. }}

 

The fourth season ran on a different network after a year-long [[Series Hiatus|break]] on the part of the producers. The show has been sold to 13 different countries, with results varying wildly.

----

* [[Actor Allusion]]: One of [[The Wiggles]], Anthony Fields, was costumed as a karate instructor, and devised a martial art where skill was denoted by different coloured skivvies.

* [[Ass Pull]]: As stated above, the whole point of the show.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Several contestants have tried this: on one occasion, Frank Woodley ran off the set while playing a ships captain in the middle of a crisis. He received a Dishonourable Mention from Tom for this one.

** Similarly inverted in a memorable sketch where Julia Zemiro was confronted by her parents over what appears to be a [[Wild Teen Party]]. She tries to justify it by reminding them of her excellent VCE results, only to be told that that was 14 years ago.

* [[Digging Yourself Deeper]]: Sometimes, a performer can dig themselves into a pit. Frank Woodley, in particular, runs on it.

'''Hamish Blake:''' "It was for science." }}

* [[Genre Savvy]]: The producers show this when they lock the cages of the animals during a Frank Woodley sketch, if they hadn't he would have juggled the animals.

* [[Jerkass]]: Frequently the character the performers end up playing.

* [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping]]: Sometimes performers are introduced as having an accent. Sometimes they put one on. They usually screw up at some point.

** At least twice Bob Franklin has praised them for doing so, in-character and in the middle of the scene. "Well played, sir. Back on track."

* [[Running Gag]]: Josh Lawson trying to leave before the skit is over.

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Also what performers end up playing.
