Pulp Comedy - Series Five, Episode Three (Rhys Darby, Mike Loder & Justine Smith)

In this episode from stand-up comedy TV series Pulp Comedy, Rhys Darby arguably steals the show: a very limber tyrannosaurus rex impression animates a surreal tale about taking his grandfather to the movies, which results in dinosaurs running amok in Auckland's Queen Street. Elsewhere, Mike Loder's conclusion that no disgrace could lead to Tiger Woods losing his sponsorship deals, and Justine Smith's opinion that her hometown of Christchurch is rather lacking in excitement may not have quite stood the test of time.

If a play is funny for 30 seconds, they say “very witty play”. If one hour of comedy is not funny for 30 seconds, “Oh, a bit average, really”.
