"We Have To Think 'It's Too Much! When Are You Going To Stop?!?'...And Then Another Mongol Comes Out."

A mélange of different presentations and bastards today, carrying on from Friday.

~

Ben and Duncan presented a scene of Pozzo and Lucky from Waiting for Godot. They had changed the text however - they'd condensed it and ignored the stage directions - and it didn't make any sense at all. They also didn't have the fun they first had when Philippe suggested they do this scene.

Philippe got Ben to imitate a dog trainer - "Sit! Shake! Heel! Staaaaaay!" - and then use this rhythm with the text of Pozzo bossing around Lucky. He's told them to redo it with the proper text now.

Steph presented Sarah Palin as a person to mock. But her first imitation was shaky: "We don't see your fun to imitate her."

Philippe then got Steph to dress more like Palin - with glasses and all. 

"You want to look like her to be nasty."And he got Vicky, dressed like a short arab guy with a goatee, to stand beside her hunched, acting as Palin's 'mongol' son. Every now and then Philippe got Steph to slap or kick Vicky, whilst keeping a big smile to the audience and talking in her 'hockey mom' hick voice. It ended with Philippe saying she needs to do a lot of research, because her imitation wasn't very accurate, and there are many many things to make fun of Palin and Steph was only scratching the surface.

"You have to look at her a long time if you want to do something strong."

"We have to think you put so many things around you to kill her.

"We have to think 'Oh! The Bouffon! He pushes too much!'...with good fun." 

You can go far. And be incredibly un-PC. "We have to think 'It's too much! When are you going to stop?!?'...and then another mongol comes out."

Mike presented the mayor of Toronto and his speech about how it's your own fault if you get hit on a bicycle because cycling is dangerous.

"We have to think how could this Bouffon have fun to destroy this politician."

"Every Bouffon - we have to see the tactics...the cleverness."

"We have to say 'Ha! This Bouffon has a spirit!'...so it depends on you."

Barbara, dressed like the girl with the dragons tattoo, sang a song called Optimistas. The first time she did it was boring. Philippe then got her to sing it again - softer - and have 'three machos' beating up a transvestite in slow motion, in the background. Once the transvestite was dead, the machos joined Barbara with a big smile. And at the end, the transvestite stood up and sang the song a bit by himself, and then softly said "fuck you."

Tim also presented a great weird scene in which he droned with his voice, and banged imaginary metal drums. "Clang clang clang clang clannng!" It seemed like he was mocking Buddhism, or perhaps a Buddhist bastard, but it wasn't clear. 

"It has to be everyone understands the same, otherwise it is impossible."

"You mock, okay. But it has to be beautiful how you do it."

Oh, and just to clarify:

“An arse-licker is a guy who licks to get a place.

A bastard uses force to get something in the life.

The nice guy...he forgives everybody.”
