He starts strong - "For starters, you're drinking too much water," immediately after Irene had picked up her glass. "Secondly, you've been turning up a little late, haven't you? Just lately..." His costar interrupts, saying "But most importantly..." He continues, "Most importantly - I'm glad you led away from that, [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall because it was going nowhere]]."

-->'''Ensemble player''': Oho! (in denial) Nono, not sacking, no.
-->'''Bob''': Sacking is such an ugly word isn't it?
-->'''Ensemble player''': What word would you use for it, Collin (Bob's character name)?
-->'''Bob''': [[BrutalHonesty We're going to put you down Irene]].

* Some of the situation that the show forces on the performer is absolutely hilarious. There's one part in season 1 regarding guest performer Alan Brough. In here, he plays a.....questionable politician with past accomplishments such as: [[RefugeinAudacity planning to introduce compulsory national service for people over the age of 10, banning his workers for taking a toilet break between 9 am and 5 pm, planning to permit recreational whaling, having an affair with his secretary (which he accidentally say is a man), doing a fact finding mission on African poverty by starting on the Greek island onboard a yacht, having a photograph of him aiming a gun at a cameraman with his photoshopped face]], and [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking saying that he can come up with a much better tourism slogan for Australia.]]

* It's common for the performers to guess what they will walk into based on their costume. However, Frank Woodley's suggestion of what he'll be with the bald cap turns into a dead-on impression of Peter Garrett (frontman for the band MidnightOil)

He mocks co-performer Ed Kavalee's use of 'big words' ('apropo') and looks down on the critics who are giving him questions. His quickfire responses are golden.
