In case you haven’t seen the pattern here, there’s now a new episode of “31 Questions” (the TV game show all the cool kids are ignoring) every week!
If you’re enjoying the show, it would really mean a lot to me if you could tell someone about it. If you think comedy on Australian television is fairly ordinary and you’d like to see more shows like this, all you have to do is post the video on your Facebook page or retweet @31Questions. We don’t have a huge PR department like the proper TV stations, so help me [Obi Wan Kenobi]. You’re our only hope.
Episode #3 features the gag round “Knowing Me, Knowing You” (for Alan Partridge and ABBA fans alike), where contestants are tested on their knowledge of their own personal details.
Do YOU know what colour shirt you’re wearing in your driver’s licence photo? Hey don’t cheat!
And thanks to some fabulous directing, there’s a freeze frame gag there too, which considering the video is on YouTube and you can easily pause it, means that jokes that are barely in frame still work.
There is however, a frustratingly tragic audio glitch right on the punchline of one of my favourite gags from the whole series. RIGHT ON THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD OF THE WHOLE JOKE… We didn’t discover it until it was already too late to shoot it as a pick-up shot.
We tried everything but we just couldn’t fix it. Re-recording the audio made it even more obvious. So we left it in because we figured we could just blame Channel 31 and say it was a transmission problem, which of course it isn’t. Channel 31 are fantastic.
And I only did that gag once on the show!
Damn.
Kind regards,
David M. Green
