That. Is Genius. It shouldn't be possible to vid something which is so dependent on its gloriously scabrous language, but it made me focus on how good the physical comedy was. Three things I really liked: (1) Malcolm's fleeting appearances until the whole section about the cat, which was suddenly all about Malcolm's fury; (2) the musical break of shame and utter panic; and (3) "making the customers" which focuses on the people watching the debacle unfold.

(Okay I lied. Four things: (4) Robin at "that's what I want to find... OUT")

To begin with, I didn't think I could vid it either, and frankly I'm relieved I managed it; I half expected to have to give up halfway through. Thank you for your nice comment!
