GOOD NEWS WEEK - SOME OF THE STUFF THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE ON THE TELLY

Here's a collection of stuff that happened during a number of Good News Week tapings that you didn't see on the telly!

Paul and Mikey kept walking past a lady with a cast on her leg , singing George Micheals "Careless Whisper".
Paul : "No I'm never gonna dance again"
Mikey : "These guilty feet ain't got no rhythm".
Paul, Mikey and Julie all signed the cast, then they started asking audience members for their names and signing the cast on their behalf.

#####

Rove steals a number of audience members crutches and then Mikey grabs one and sniffs it and says, : "Hey look, I'm sniffing your crutch!"

#####

Mikey and Paul busted somebody passing around Licorice Cats. They also pointed out that they were 'cheap' as they were in a Target/Big W bag. Mikey stuck one up his nose and Paul was handing out a whole handful, then they mixed in the 'infected' one and again offered them around. A guy took two that were stuck together and Paul said : "If I were you, I wouldn't have taken the two that were stuck together."

#####

Mikey was complaining that he was hungry, so an audience member threw a packet of Mc Donalds Cookies to him.
Paul : "Oh my god! I thought that was a giant tampon holder!"

#####

Paul broke the bell from 'The Really Quite Small Debate' and said "this wouldn't happen at the ABC, then Mikey said : "But Paul, we knicked it from the ABC!"

#####

Paul (to the guy fixing his mic) : "Oooh, you've got cold hands...at the ABC they used to rub their hands together first to warm them up!"

#####

Paul : "Where's my dot, I'm not doing it without my dot...dot...dot...I'm not doing it without the dot, where's my f*cking dot?!"

#####

Paul : "Aren't we missing something?" (referring to the yellow dot Paul stands on to do his monologue at the start of Good News Week)
Julie : "Is there a purpose for that dot?"
Mikey : "So that he doesn't go out of shot."
Paul makes "duh" and spastic noises then starts walking in the dot and makes a beep noise when he reaches the edge. The audience find it mildly amusing but not very funny.
Paul : "I'm going to keep doing this until someone laughs."

#####

One episode Paul had really black hair.
Mikey : "That hair dye went well."
Paul : "I didn't expect it to go so dark."
Mikey : "Here's a hint, don't ever use anything with the word 'Dulux' on the front of it. You shouldn't have left it in for so long mate."
Paul : "I was watching Dawsons Creek and left it in for 4 hours."
Mikey : "That's funny 'cos the show only goes for an hour."
Paul : "Yeah, I know but I was really, really enthralled."

#####

Paul to the lady touching up his makeup: "No Mum! not in front of all my friends! You're embarassing me!...mum!!!"

#####

Paul :"This show is going down on high quality vhs tape so...yes, we're taping over Breakers/Dawsons Creek/etc"

#####

Paul : "The audience is allowed to get up and stretch for a minute. "lean forward and massage the person in front of you's bum."

#####

"War! What is it good for - absolutely nothing !"

#####

Busting an audience member for looking at him Paul asks : "What ya looking at velcro eyes! Stop looking at me!"
A guy yells out : "But, she likes you."
Then Paul gets all flirty with the guy and says : "Oh, but what you don't know is that I like you."

#####

Mikey picks up one of the silver stars off the floor, licks it, and sticks it on his forehead.
Mikey : "Paul, do you wanna go up to Nimbin for the weekend?"

#####

Paul (to Mikey) : "Is that a packet of Codral in your pocket or are you just here to boost my immune system?"

#####

Paul was (very emotionally) telling the audience about how he auditioned for 'Playschool'.Paul : "Apparently...I freak the kids out...yeah..apparently the original Hickory Dickory Dock didn't have the word f*ck in it 17 times...and...you know...the old woman who lived in the shoe, that had so many children her uterus fell out?...I mean, the kids have to learn sometime!"

#####

Ted : "Ladies and gentlemen, Paul Mc Dermott"
Paul runs out across the stage, doesn't stop, keeps running, runs out and then runs back in doing fairy jumps.

#####

Paul introducing Flacco : "Flacco was on the plane to Montreal for the Montreal comedy festival...sitting in economy...he mixed his viagra with his sleeping pills, got an erection...couldn't get his tray down. Had to walk out crouching and bent"

#####

Paul after getting asked to do the monologue again...
Paul : "Can I have the same newspaper cuttings as well...you know, for continuity...I want the same ones! Iron out the crumpled ones! Which hand was I holding them in? Which way was I facing?"

#####

Mikey and Julie walking back to the green room while Paul does the monologue. Mikey : "I'll catch you later, I'm just going back to my dressing room to have a bog...oh sh*t, my microphone's still on!"

#####

Paul loves trying to crack on to grannies : "I like the older more mature woman"...offers of threesomes etc...and plenty of pelvic thrusts.

#####

People were arriving late while Paul was warming up the audience...they sit down and Paul asks them : "Why are you late?". When they don't respond to his question he starts asking questions like : "Am I speaking too fast?", "Do you understand English?", "Do you go to a state school?", "Are you from Queensland?", "Are you on a bus tour?"
Ted : "Can I get you something...like a watch?"

#####

Paul goes up to the set and picks up a tiny screw.
Paul : "Why is there a single screw here?"
Mikey : "To remind you what you have to do after the show."

#####

Mikey grabbed a skull off HG (which was one of the "Strange But True" clues), put his finger in the mouth of the skull so it looked like a tongue and started to attack Paul with it. When he doesn't respond, Mikey started pashing the skull.

#####

There was a guy in the audience that looked like a homie and he was wearing his hat backwards.
Mikey : "Be glad he's here and not outside stealing your car radios."
Paul : "Why do you wear your hat backwards? You look like a haemmorhoid!"
Mikey : "Why are you walking with your hands behind your back Paul?"
Paul : "I don't know, I just thought I'd be different."
Homie guy : "He's trying to hold his haemmorhoids in!"

#####

Paul to some country looking people :
Paul : "Where are you from?"
Them : "Gosford"
Paul : "So your mothers cousins with your father?"

#####

Lady in audience to Paul : "Where'd you get your gumboots from?"
Paul : "I won't tell you where I got them from, but I'll tell you where they're going if you don't shut up!"

#####

Paul : "Does anyone else think that the sound of pigeons of your roof (brr brrr) sounds a lot like two people having sex? Does anyone think that the sound of a clock (dick, dick, dick) sounds a lot like two people having sex? Does anyone think thant the sound of a chainsaw (chainsaw noise) sounds a lot like two people having sex?
Mikey : "You're doing something wrong mate."

#####

Mikey says he's going to have a skip with the skipping rope which was a "Strange but True" clue.
Paul : "Can we get someone to re-enforce the floor?"
Peter Berner : "Someone call the earthquake centre and tell them not to worry!"
Paul : "Oh, go on, you have a skip Mikey!"

#####

They're talking about Pokemon...
Mikey : "It sounds like a Rastafarian asking for sex! (says with accent) Pokemon!"

#####

Paul is standing behind Mikey...
Mikey : "Is anyone here bi-sexual?"
Guy from audience : "Yeah, the guy behind you!"

#####

Paul was about to begin his monologue, but then he stopped and said to the audience : "Whoever is sitting at our eye level, when you're sitting or standing, please keep your legs closed or crossed, because it's really off putting."
Mikey : "Just remember, don't close your legs too quickly, you might have a do-it-yourself vasectomy."

#####

Mikey and Paul were talking about a guy who they pick on frequently called Wally (cause he looks like Wally from the "Where's Wally" books)
Mikey : "Yeah I got his number from the list (the list of phone numbers the audience provides when they book for tickets to be in the audience), and at 4 am in the morning...'HIYA WALLLEEEE! HOW YA GOIN! IT'S MIKEY WALLLEEEEE!!!!' You know how there are celebrity stalkers, I'm a celebrity who stalks!"
Julie : "Can we get Wally, hide him, then find him?"
Paul : "How about we just hide him?"

#####

Paul was telling a joke about novelty ice cubes and no one laughed.
Paul : "Wait! We're going to do that again! I'm gonna read it, and then you're gonna laugh when I say 'ice-cube' 'cause that's f*cking funny!"

#####

A girl in the audience was wearing embroidered jeans...
Paul : "Did you draw that yourself?"
Girl : "No."
Paul : "So you bought them?"
Girl : "Yes."
Paul : "You spent money on THAT!?! For the squiggles. You could've just gone to Lakemba and stood there waiting for them to come and spray paint you!"

#####

Paul was constantly playing with his keys, flicking them back and forth.
Paul : "That's annoying isn't it?"

#####

A lady was wearing a black jumper with fluro stripes...
Paul : "God that's an ugly jumper. Did you have some speed before making that yourself?"

#####

They were taping promos at the end of a show and Paul was attempting to make up his own.
Paul : (walking towards camera in zombie fashion) "Watch uuus, watch uuuuus, watch.... (turns around, bends over and sticks bum towards camera) ...aaaarse."

#####

Paul : "Who hasn't been here before?" (lots of people put their hands up) "Ok, everyone else, after the count of three, you know what to do."

#####

Paul and Mikey start talking about beastiality, mainly about cats and saying that dogs were 'cheap'.
Paul : "You're sittin' there in the early hours of the morning, watching those 1800 commercials on TV, and the cat is there, curled up in the corner, looking really...inviting. Why waste money on the phone when the cat..."
Mikey : "It's warm. But never cheat on a tabby."

#####

Mikey and Paul were playing with a soccer ball...
Mikey : "Lets play a game with the audience..."
Paul : "Now everyone, close your eyes and put your hands behind your backs..."

#####

They were filming a promo with the "little Paul" dummy. Paul had to hold the "little Paul" dummy during the Promo.
Mikey : (starts punching "little Paul") This is for the Big Gig! This is for DAAS Kapital! This is for three albums!"
Paul did the promo over and over and over and at the end of each promo, he either jumped on top of "little Paul" or did other naughty things to to "little Paul", this was usually preceeded by Paul saying : "Make love to me big Paul!"
Mikey then came out again and started stroking and kissing "little Paul", after a few moments they reel back in shock/horror.
Paul : "This is the first time I've wanted to wash my genitals with Sard Wonder Soap!"
In the end Mikey ended up jumping on top of "little Paul" on stage. Then Paul and Mikey start shouting at the audience : "Don't tell ANYONE !! You didn't see ANYTHING!!!"

#####

Ted has a habit of terrifying Paul during shows. He's held him by the scruff of the neck (well...the clothing there)...and beat him with a rolled up script...He's also chased Paul up one of the audience stands and Paul almost jumped over the back of the stands trying to get away from him (hehe)

#####

Paul, Adam and Mikey are picking on the touchy feely loving couple that comes to every show who they hassle every week...
Paul : "Stop that! Look I know you want to express your love, but it's really discouraging looking at the audience and seeing you do that, because as performers we can't show our love on stage...and it's really unfair to me because I get...aroused."
Mikey : "Lets get the loving couple to have sex on the stage."

#####

Flacco was doing his monologue and he kept stuffing up the bit where he had to talk fast, whenever he stuffed up he said "Oh f*ck!"
Paul : "This is amazing, he never gets it wrong."
Flacco : "Perhaps I should just incorporate the 'Oh f*ck' into the script."
Sandy was next, and he started getting things wrong too...
Sandman : "That stupid bastard Flacco made me do this!"

#####

Mikey was telling a story of how a couple of days earlier he was at a boxing match that was being televised on "Fox Sports". He said he had gotten an itch in his nose, made sure no one was looking, and went in for the hill. Suddenly his mobile rings, it's Sandy.
Mikey : "Hey, I'm at the fight."
Sandy : "Yeah I know. Look, get your finger out of your nose!!!"

#####

Flacco and Sandy did a pretend backstage desk segment. This involved about a quarter of the audience being sent to another stand, which was facing away from the other normal stands. When the seats had been vacated by the audience members, Paul started stealing bags/coats etc and stashed them behind the desk. Then he sat in the middle of the vacant stand and yelled abuse at Julie, Mikey and Ted who were on the stage including, "Youse suck!" He then found (?) a portable drill and was walking threateningly around under the stands with it. The audience couldn't actually *see* Paul while he was doing this, just hear the sound of the drill through his mic. He sounded as if he was looking at unscrewing the stands above him where the audience was sitting. He then unscrewed one of the padding sections from an audience seat (about a metre and a half long) and sat on it at the chair behind his desk. When the audience members came back from filming the desk segment, one of the younger female audience members got into a tug o war with Paul and Mikey to get the seat back (she got it back!)

#####

The audience is allowed to stand up as they are getting pretty lethargic. A tall guy in the back row stands, he has curly/frizzy, blonde/grey hair.
Paul : "Oh f*ck! Did you put your finger in an electrical socket?! I wonder what your pubic hair's like - f*cking steel wool!"

#####

Paul : "I'm trying to be more Christian, more 'nice', and I'm not going to swear as much..." *ha*

#####

Mikey complaining about his 'bad undies' : "Mr Lefty is getting into Mr Righty's space."

#####

Paul : "Anyone here heterosexual? (no one puts up their hands) Paul persists and eventually everyone puts their hands up. "Anyone here homosexual?" (a couple of people and Julie put up their hands) "Anyone here bisexual/a lover of animals/bondage...etc..."

#####

When introduced by Ted, Paul ran out in a bright blue ski jacket which he had stolen from someone in the audience on his way out to the stage. He then proceeded to walk around and model the "f*cking sexy jacket", putting on the hood and posing. Paul then took it off and put it on his desk, saying "We'll be raffling this off later."

#####

A young girl in the front row was looking through photos, and Paul took them from her...
Paul : "If you're gonna look at photos, share them with everyone else!"
Paul and Mikey looked through them, and Paul was pretending to be the girl, "Oh, I like the red spitfire..." Then they got to one where her boyfriend was posing for a photo.
Paul : "Oh! does this look familiar? (strikes the same pose as the guy in the photo)
The girl then ran on stage to grab her photos and Paul, acting scared goes "Aaaah! Girl on stage! girl on stage!"
Paul : "Do you like planes/air shows? etc...Does your boyfrind fly a plane?"
Girl : "He's a motor racer."
Paul : (pretending to be girl) "I like a combination of air show and motor racing because when you're doing this (left, right, fast), you can look up..."

#####

Paul : "I don't know if you can see it under the heavy make up they've put on my face (points to eyebrow). It's quite deep. So, I did this on Monday, but none of whom I would call friends, workmates, or companions asked how it f*cking happened. Because normally when someone has a cut, well someone I care about, the natural reaction is 'Oh, how did that happen?' But I got nothin'...I was trying to pull an electrical cord out of the socket, the first time it didn't come out, so I pulled it harder than I normally would have, and it snapped out, flew through the air and hit me in the f*cking eyebrow and nose..." Mikey then walks out and says : "How did that happen mate?...that wasn't from when we...?!"
Paul : "No, but I still have bruises on the back of my throat from that."

#####

Mikey (to Paul) : "I know I've said this before, but you've got a nice bum mate."
Paul : Yeah, it might be good when you see it through material, but it's actually quite ugly...all the razor nicks."

#####

Paul (heckling Wally again) : "I love that 2day FM shirt, it must be such a chick magnet."

#####

Paul and Mikey were guiding eveyone through some stretches when we were allowed to stand up....
Paul : "Ok everybody, stretch up, reach for the sky, as high as you can, good, very good, up!...Now, everyone in the back row, hands in front of you, and...PUSH! come on, push! Well, they're too smart for us Mikey!"

#####

At the taping of the "Science should get out of our genes" debate everyone in the audience got Paul Mc Dermott masks and Ted instructed us that they needed to get shots of us putting the masks up, and 'dancing' to the song. Paul was standing near his desk and said : "Just keep them up for a second." Then he pretended (or so we thought) to jerk off. Ted thumped him for that one. Later Paul had changed his mind..."PUT THEM DOWN! THIS IS FREAKY!!!"

#####

Paul making a mistake : "I'm gonna say that again because I don't wanna look like a f*ckwit on national television."

#####

Sandman to Mikey at the taping of "Paul and The Fatman"...
Sandman : "Why is Paul dressed like a teenager?"
Mikey : "They gave the suit to Rove."

#####

Paul and Mikey decided to auction off a guy from the audience...
Paul : "Wearing shorts with legs like that?! That's a brave move!"..."25 from that tall ugly guy, I assume that's dollars...."
The floor manager then asks Paul to get ready.
Paul : "Wait! We're auctioning off Mark!"
The floor manager asks Paul to get ready again...
Paul : "Ten seconds? or ten Channel Ten seconds?"

#####

Paul (coughing up phlegm) : "I've got the flu."
Mikey : "Name one time in the last five years that you haven't had the flu?!"
Paul (to an audience member) : "Do you have the flu?"
Audience member : "No."
Paul : "Do you want it?"

#####

At the final taping when Paul was introduced by Ted, and Paul went to stand on his yellow dot, the wolf whistles and cheers from the audience went on for ages and ages. Paul was just standing on his dot, looking blankly at the huge crowd at the Capital Theatre, waiting for them to stop. When the noise finally died down, Paul spoke : "Channel Ten is developing a new show. STANDING F*CKIN' STILL!!"

#####

Rhys Muldoon came out to perform his "Bad Street Theatre" mime, he was continually bagging out Hi-5 (as he is from Playschool). He pretended to be them, dancing around, exaggerating movements, and pretending to have a head-set on.

#####

After Paul was helped out of the spinning "Buzzers Of Death" contraption, everyone cracked up totally.
Mikey : "Stop making fun of him, it's the first time he's been tall enough to be allowed on a ride!"

#####

Mikey and Paul making fun of people going to the toilet during the show...
Mikey : "Weak bladdered woman." (sung to the tune of "More Than A Woman")

#####

Pauls make-up lady had these boot stillettos and a very short denim skirt on. Paul was getting very distracted, and when she walked off, follewed her very closely with his eyes stuck to the skirt, then he turned to the audience and shrugged saying, "What do you expect?" The next time she comes out to fix his make-up Paul is talking to the stage manager and he tells Paul to concentrate.
Paul : "How can I concentrate? Tell her to put on some f*cking pants!!!"

#####

Anastacia was onstage talking to the audience and said seductively, "Where's Rove?" Paul acts as if he was jealous : "What about me?"
Anastacia : "I can't talk about you when you're here!"
Paul : "Okay, I'll just go over there." (Paul walks into the wings)

#####

Paul made his way back onstage just after Anastacia had finished her song, and the mic she had used was still there...
Paul : "What a voice! What a voice! She sang into this microphone! She touched this microphone!!!" (Paul starts dragging mic into wings) "No one touches this mic - it's MINE!!!"
