Jed is a wonderful anachronism, good entertainment for some, boring
to others. Baiting him has about as much effect as baiting your TV
set. He's much too good to lose control of the crowd. You have to
have a brass lined throat to match his volume w.o. a bullhorn.
Also good for comic relief is Max Lynch, who's indistinguishable from
old testament prophets (bald, loud voice, ignorant, etc) save for the
sunglasses and minor changes to the vocabulary. Some more interesting
observations:
Sodom & Gomorrah were destroyed by "god's cosmic ray gun". I had this
instant vision of some ethereal 'helping-hand' winding a top string
around a neutron star and giving it a good pull. Utterly lost on Max.
"Women in slacks are harlots and will burn in hell forever"
For audience participation: "You are a wicked, wicked, wicked [fill in
the blank]". You know you've really made it with Max when you're annointed
with the triple wicked. Or is that sticky wicket? It all begins to blur
after a while.
About the best use we found for these clowns is to use them as targets for
water balloons launched from funnellators (I was an irresponsible
undergrad). Your mileage may differ. Consult your funnellator dealer
for prices.
