David: I have a Magic card collection worth over four thousand dollars, and I've been pushed off a ten metre platform into Darling Harbour looking like a giant sperm.
Mike: Welcome aboard!

The Wheird Half is a webseries done by Grilled Mouse Entertainment, a bunch of uni students and young adults. It could easily be described as niche Sketch Comedy. The series stars Alex, CJ, David, Heather, Leslie, Mike, Nick, Nicole, and a cast of recurring (or semi-recurring) people as... well, themselves. That is, when they aren't being druids or British intellectuals...

This series provides examples of:

• Shout-Out: Oh, so many.
  • "Mafia" - though it could also be classed as a straight-up parody of Sherlock Holmes. Ditto for "Not Happy John".
  • "Insurance Team" - "Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?".
  • "GME Membership" has one to Monty Python... along with a lot of other Pythonesque humour.

• Take That!: This gem from GME Membership:
  Mike: Can you count to surrender?
  David: Um... only in French.
