Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell	comment	Shaun Micallef's Mad As Hell (2012 - 2022) is something of an Australian version of The Daily Show with some elements of This Hour Has 22 Minutes thrown in for good measure.Hosted by Shaun Micallef, it features many hilarious and bizarre characters who help him dissect the news and current events of the week. Shaun's supporting cast currently includes Francis Greenslade, Tosh Greensladenote Not related to Francis, Emily Taheny (all since series 1), Stephen Hall (guest series 1, regular since series 2) and Christie Whelan Browne (since series 10)Previous cast members include Roz Hammond (series 1-10, with guest appearances in series 11, 12 and 14), Veronica Milsom (series 1-4, guest appearances in series 5 and 14) and Michelle Brasier (series 10 and 11). Nicholas Bell appeared in series 6 to cover for Stephen who was performing in a stage production of Fawlty Towers, while Molly Daniels and Ming-Zhu Hii both appeared in series 9 to cover Roz, who was filming The Heights in Perth.The fifth series ended with Micallef giving a goodbye speech as there had been no news of a renewal or cancellation. The ABC gave the show a late renewal and it effectively began alternating with The Weekly with Charlie Pickering.This is the longest running show Shaun has appeared in — it aired 172 episodes (including a one-off Christmas special) over fifteen series and ten years.

Shaun proceeds to pull out a big front-page headline reading "A Cluster Truck".

Shaun reacts with offense at this suggestion — "I could have sent that ad up in my sleep. In fact I did last night and it was very funny." — and then claims that he doesn't want to send it up anyway because he likes it, and to explain why he brings on the ad's creator Chris Lorax. The clip of Albanese has been a running gag in Series 14.

Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell / int_1e7487cd	type	Breaking the Fourth Wall
Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell / int_1e7487cd	comment	Breaking the Fourth Wall: Zigzagged in one odd moment in series 2. Shaun turns to consult Vomitoria Catchment, only to find Roz Hammond, who has forgotten to change into her. While he waits for her to get back, Shaun has a brief chat with Jenifred Stoles as if the cameras weren't on them. The strange part is that Veronica Milsom stays in character as Jennifred, a high school-aged work experience girl, even while acknowledging that Vomitoria is a character played by Roz. Also, later in the same scene, Jennifred says that Clancy Lanyard would back her up if she was here, and Roz momentarily breaks character as if to ask Shaun if she should change into her. Series nine has several similar moments with the cast breaking character on camera. One case has Emily Taheny, after playing Draymella Burt in a scene, suddenly losing all professionalism and feeling the need to ask Shaun whether she really needs to change costumes for the next character or just dress the same way but with a different voice. Shaun irritably tells her to go and change, but a few minutes later during a Mad-as-Debate, she appears in the audience still dressed as Draymella but doing the silly voice and wearing a false mustache. Another case has Roz and Emily again having to be told to leave after a scene, but when Stephen Hall as the ghost of Che Guevara asks whether he does, Shaun reminds him that his scene was pre-recorded so that he would look transparent, and that he (Stephen) is probably already in his dressing room changing to the next character. Season 15 has a gag where Shaun rushes Draymella Burt off-set, telling her that Lois Price is on next. In the following sketch, he then has to tell Lois she's still wearing Draymella's glasses. When Des-Lazlo Clutterbuck of the Nullarbor Mountaineering Co-operative appears in the studio, Shaun interrupts and questions his (perfectly normal) outfit, asking, "Have you never seen a sketch comedy show?" Jump Cut to Des-Lazlo in a full mountain climbing outfit, holding a pickaxe. "Thank you."

As such, it portrays Gough Whitlam as the Prime Minister about 20 years before he actually was, at one point quoting Bob Hawke, as well as other characters discussing the Eddie Mabo case (which ended in 1992, after Mabo's death) and Darwin being bombed by Sri Lanka ("I"m pretty sure it was called Ceylon in 1968.")

Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell / int_26eb6287	comment	Funny Background Event: Occurs frequently when Shaun talks with someone outside the studio. On two occasions he's crossed to a spokeswoman in Melbourne wanting to talk about how safe the city is, oblivious to things like bodies floating down the Yarra river or an alien abduction behind her. A Series 11 episode has an entire sketch play on the screen in the background of The Backstage Sketch in which Shaun gets called into the office of ABC Chairperson Ita Buttrose. What little we see appears to be a reversal of the classic Beyond the Fringe sketch "One Leg Too Few", here involving an apparently able-bodied man, named Mr. Spiggot, trying to apply as a Paralympian.

While most of the audience claim to believe in fairies, Shaun can't suspend his disbelief that far and apparently kills Tink by pointing out that she's obviously just Christie being filmed in front of a bluescreen and badly superimposed. And indeed, when Tink collapses in pain, Peter runs down onto the set and reveals that Christie and the bluescreen had been in plain view the whole time.

However, starting in March 2020, the audience has been discontinued as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The episode in question begins with Shaun using an irritating Laugh Track for less than a minute before he has it turned off. Shaun still gets interrupted as much as before, though, in some cases pointing out that what he's saying is just to fill in time before he's interrupted. As of June 30, 2021, the audience has returned, with Shaun joking that they were overseas arrivals who had chosen to be here as an alternative to hotel quarantine (which also meant being in the audience for other shows such as Gardening Australia). The audience was removed again in mid-July due to another lockdown.

"Mr. Parsons, thanks for our time."

She does quite well for most of the show until, following particularly convoluted utterance from Pauline, Shaun looks at her expectantly, only to be told "I have no idea what she is talking about". In the 2020 Pagan Holiday Special, Emily's rendition of Ode to Joy is mostly subtitled accurately (despite "Heiligtum" being mangled into "Heidi Klum"), but the line "Was die Mode streng geteilt" is repeatedly subtitled as "All that (indecipherable)".

Both times Shaun interrupts and asks him to think of something more recent. Crane points out the hypocrisy of this: "Last week you did a joke about The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and not even I understood that. And I was in it!" (referring to Stephen Hall). He finally settles on comparing the merger to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: "A terrible idea that pleases no one. Except me, I loved it!"

Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The show's title comes from an iconic speech in Network, ("I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!") and the opening credits sequence references the monologue by showing a man getting out of his chair, walking to a window and yelling. An episode from Series 13 (aired at the end of another lockdown in Victoria and during a lockdown in Sydney) has Shaun parody the monologue, telling the audience not to get mad, but to get out of their chairs, go to the window and close it to keep out the coronavirus. There are several of these to other Micallef works: The Panda from Talkin' 'bout Your Generation makes occasional appearances. The Kraken was also from Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation as well (where it presented an envelope one episode). The line "Have you got some identification?", verbatim from The Micallef Program. As of the third season, the Micallef Tonight logo is now a set piece and the Micallef Tonight theme music closed out the first three episodes, and as of the fourth season, the Tyrrel Corp. chair that Shaun sat on in later seasons of Talkin' 'bout Your Generationwas a set piece in the background. A quick screen grab from Newstopia made an appearance at one point. Occasionally, Shaun would trot out a quick High Horse gag from Micallef Tonight. to the delight of the studio audience. The fourth episode of season 3 had a couple to non-Micallef works: Owing to the Russia\Ukraine issues, the opening titles were replaced with a parody of the Dad's Army opening entitled Vlad's Army. One of the segments featured Francis as Department of Health Representative William Wonka, dressed a la Gene Wilder from the film, including lines verbatim from the film. A reporter in the background played by Francis Greenslade reacts when Shaun mentions "winners and losers", calling it a very popular show. One episode has a guest go off on a tangent about gardening taken verbatim from Being There, along with Shaun's response. Shaun finished one episode with the speech from The Great Dictator. A Series 11 sketch has a parody of Blake's monologue from Glengarry Glen Ross.

The two are then interrupted by a girl in the audience who asks the wizard what he would do if she hypothetically confessed to murdering someone by dropping a house on her and then stealing her shoes. When told that he would keep it secret, she then asks what if she later on murdered someone else by throwing some liquid on her.

Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell / int_eedee4d	comment	The Starscream: Brion Pegmatite is clearly plotting to get Peter Dutton into the Prime Minister's chair even if it means undermining his own party.

Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell / int_ef255df8	comment	Shaun referring to "our Prime Minister - Scott Morrison", the pause and clarification being a subtle reference to the High Turnover Rate the position has had over the last decade, to the point that some supposedly find it hard to keep track. Continued in Season 15 with "former Prime Minister - Scott Morrison".

Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell / int_f1d7b320	comment	Crazy Survivalist: A segment about Craig Javello, who had been preparing for the Mayan Doomsday for fifteen years, yet has made no plans regarding his mostly perishable food supplies, has built a fireplace in his (rather flimsy) bunker with no chimney ("The council wouldn't approve it") and plans to rely on his kindle for entertainment despite having no way of recharging it once the electricity goes out.

She then moves onto another suspect before remembering that she was in Cuba at the time, and dead.

Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell / int_f9f2c33	type	Running Gag
Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Something the show runs on. Aside from the aforementioned "Thank you, Verity," there are: Frequent Piano Drops, especially on Caspar Jonquil. Vice-Rear Cabin Boy Bobo Gargle releasing the Kraken - a man in a green octopus outfit who jumps out of a cupboard accompanied by Toni Basil's "Mickey". In series four, the Kraken starts showing up by mistake, in response to vaguely similar sounding words (or just the word "release"). Bobo starts exploiting this in series five: Shaun regularly insults Adelaide... even though its his home town. When a guest leaves the studio, the camera will follow them out into the street, all the way home, and often beyond, for several minutes. Shaun regularly mocks breakfast television shows, such as Seven's Sunrise (which, let's face it, are truly awful), often while mocking his own show. Andrew Bolt is sometimes mentioned, usually with a snarky quip about Adelaide or Bolt's show being akin to a bad joke being thrown in (Bolt and Micallef both having attended The University of Adelaide). Any time Shaun brings up a politician or other public figure, an image of a vaguely similar looking fictional character or other public figure will appear next to him. For example, Prime Minister Tony Abbott as Voldemort◊ or Opposition Leader Bill Shorten as an Oompa Loompa◊. Most of the time Shaun will Double Take and call to someone to fix it (and when they do, it's with an unflattering picture that will somewhat justify the "mistake"), but sometimes he doesn't seem to notice. One standout example is when then-Assistant Treasurer Arthur Sinodinos is represented by Jason Alexander, George Brandis, John Howard, Adam Richard, Mikhail Gorbachev, Vincent Price (as Egghead)) and a potato with a face drawn on it before finally getting it right - yet later in the same scene John Howard is represented by The Hood and Shaun doesn't see any difference. In one case early in series eight, Shaun is given a correct photo of Immigration Minister Peter Dutton and thinks it's the wrong one. Cue a photo of the unmasked Anakin Skywalker in Return of the Jedi. Later in that series, Shaun pre-emptively tells them at length not to do anything like this with Dutton again, only to be presented with a shot of a potato. "No wonder we're dead to him." An episode of Series 10 has two different photos used to represent Dutton about a minute apart from each other (the first of which is a Sontaran) and this time Shaun doesn't even pretend to be annoyed by it. A segment in Series 11 opens with Shaun saying "Now I don't want to be unfair to Peter Dutton..." accompanied by a quick slideshow of every photo previously used to represent him. The accompanying captions used to be punny, but have since been uniformly replaced with 'See Above' during seasons 8-10. Using "Olympic-size Swimming Pool" as a unit of measurement (and not just for liquid capacity) which started after a news show compared George Brandis's book case to one. Darius Horsham, spokesman of Australia's finance minister Mathias Cormann, referencing Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, and frequently calling Shaun an "economic girly-man". Shaun falling asleep after listening to Cormann talk, no matter how briefly. Ian Orbspider being struck by lightning and Stripped to the Bone. Running Gagged as of Series 14, though Ian is only told this after he's acted out being struck by lightning. Shaun beating up Flornoy Quimbie after he claims credit for a particularly annoying advertising campaign. Shaun giving Bill Shorten's "zingers" the Mundane Made Awesome treatment. (Running Gagged by Shaun after Shorten was replaced as Oppositon Leader) Shaun sending out Calotto hams to viewers and public figures. "Calotto, the great taste of ham." Shaun lapsing into a House of Cards (US) style Aside when talking about Senator Jackie Lambie. In one case he uses quotes from the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare trailer. Whenever Barnaby Joyce is mentioned, a brief interlude of "Chattanooga Choo Choo" plays (since Barnaby Joyce sounds like "Pardon Me, Boy"). Similarly, cutting to a portrait of Malcolm Turnbull accompanied by "Smooth Operator". After the phrase "I'm not a commentator" was explained to be code for "I'm not going to answer that question, you arsehole" it got slipped into multiple interviews. Shaun using some kind of machine to count down to the next election, even when it's over two years away and hasn't been called. As of series six, he's now consulting the talking Blackboard from Mr. Squiggle: "Seventeen days! Hurry up!" Numerous jokes involving stock clips, with little to no context: Christopher Pyne's infamous soundbite regarding David Gonski's report on education funding, "This is a Conski, not a Gonski." A stock shot of Tony Abbott rolling what appears to be a bocce ball down a tube onto a table, usually presented as something bizarre and inexplicable out of context. John Madigan's "Submarines are the spaceships of the ocean" outburst on Q&A. SBS newsreader Lee Lin Chin saying "penises", again with no context whatsoever. Series 15 replaces this with an equally confusing clip of Andrew Bolt saying it. A clip of Senator Michaelia Cash walking, set to rather appropriate marching music. In a Series 14 episode, Michaelia's spokeswoman Mary Brett Punish calls Shaun out on using this same clip every time she's mentioned, and Shaun apologises before switching to a different clip of her marching (which they had also used before). In her final appearance, Mary thanks Shaun for not using the marching clip that time, right before marching out of the studio to the usual music. The show usually ends with Shaun saying 'And Not coming up because X is on in a minute', or when Mr & Mrs Murder was running, he would say that he had a murder to solve. In late series 9, he adds a joke involving his inability to remember the name of the following show, Tomorrow Tonight, to host Charlie Pickering's increasing frustration. Caspar Jonquil starting a rant that is at least tangentially related to the topic at hand, but ends somewhere completely different and reveals multiple embarrassing personal details about Caspar along the way. Shaun referring to "our Prime Minister - Scott Morrison", the pause and clarification being a subtle reference to the High Turnover Rate the position has had over the last decade, to the point that some supposedly find it hard to keep track. Continued in Season 15 with "former Prime Minister - Scott Morrison".

Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell / int_fabef10f	comment	Don't Explain the Joke: A Running Gag since season 9 is Shaun doing a detailed dissection of the premise of whatever joke Tosh Greenslade had just told, usually with Tosh in a wig and glasses. Chris Lorax does this repeatedly in his scenes, never quite grasping that Shaun isn't asking him to explain his awful puns but to explain why he thought they were appropriate for news headlines.

Chris replies, "No, I imagine he'd be struck off."

Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell / int_ff9e9dde	type	Once a Season
Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell / int_ff9e9dde	comment	Once a Season: Apparently despite complaints from viewers, every season has ended with the cast singing a song, usually accompanied by something weird in the background on a green screen, with The Kraken and the Panda from Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation usually making an appearance. Season 1 was ended with ABC's The Look Of Love, with photos and video clips of various Australian politicians in the background. Season 2 was ended with Get Happy, most frequently associated with Judy Garland. Season 3 was ended with Devo's Beautiful World, with clips of various news stories and a visit to the Spicks and Specs set. Season 4 was ended with I'm Interested In Apathy by TISM, with the cast in assorted costumes, and as some of the characters they played. Season 5 was ended with a brief except from Can You Feel It by the Jackson 5, with Charlie Pickering making a guest appearance to plug his show\insult Shaun's singing and dancing abilities, ignoring Shaun's choice of sequined blue suit entirely. Season 6 was ended with Earth, Wind and Fire's Fantasy, with the cast dressed in 70's costumes, complete with psychedelic camera effects, with Shaun dancing on his desk in front of a sign labelled "Micallef For PM 2020" Season 7 was ended with the Electric Light Orchestra's Mr. Blue Sky. Season 8 ended with a cover of Put On Your Sunday Clothes from Hello Dolly, making mentions of Barnaby Joyce, substituting Canberra for Yonkers and making mentions of winning a Logie. Season 9 bucked the trend by omitting the song. Season 10 ended with a cover of Good Thing by Fine Young Cannibals, in tribute to Scott Morrison's catchphrase. Season 11 ended with a cover of September by Earth, Wind and Fire, in reference to (hopefully) being allowed to have actual dancers perform in their next end of season song in September. Towards the end, Emily points out to a dancing Shaun that they're starting filming in August so their end of season song will actually be in October. Shaun ends the season with a Precision F-Strike. Season 12's number was a rendition of Pet Semetary by The Ramones, with a cat being buried in the set by Stephen (apaprently, an allegory for the economy). Season 13 ended with the cast singing The Offspring's Come Out and Play.
