Yep, still doing outlines on "Van Helsing" actors.

Most of you know him as the weasely Duke from "Moulin Rouge!" but he has done quite a lot of theater in his native Australia. At the moment, he's been playing a lot of Victorian-era bad guys (LXG, Van Helsing) and had recently played Sherlock Holmes on PBS. So, like my others, I'm incorporating his previous characters into this one. And the outcome of the boomerang in the Hugh Jackman outline. :crazy:

OPENING:Richard arrives at Bobo's the security guard's desk and as usual, Bobo doesn't see him on the list. Before Richard starts explaining, the boomerang from last week's episode knocks Bobo out.

Richard: So there's that boomerang Hugh told me about.....

THEME SONG: Gonzo pops out of the O and catches the boomerang.

Gonzo: Yes!

Opening Sketch: Richard as Sherlock Holmes and Scooter as Watson are called to investigate the disapperance of Lady Widebottom's (Big Mama) husband. As she turns around, we see her husband (A whatever dog in a tux) stuck to the back of her. Holmes doesn't even notice this even though Watson is trying to point it out.

Statler: The only mystery here is why this show is still on the air!

Backstage: Richard is being hit upon by Piggy, until Kermit shows up. He's asked her to put a stop to hitting on all the male guest stars and makes a bet with her. If she can go without making advances on Richard for the entire episode, he'll let her be the star of the closing number. She gladly agrees and goes back to making advances on Kermit.

Kermit: Something told me I should've thought this through.....

Song: Electric Mayhem singing Men At Work's "Land from Down Under"

UK Spot: More of Gonzo and Rizzo's "Amazing Discoveries".

Gonzo: If you go skinny dipping in a tank of live lobsters.....

Rizzo: IT HURTS!

Song: Richard as Dracula sings the duet "Vampires in Love" (From the short-lived musical "Dance of the Vampires") with a female whatever muppet. At the end of the song though, she reveals she's a vampire herself.

Richard as Drac: What? Why didn't you tell me you were already a vampire? Who turned you into one?

(The Count appears onstage.)

Count: Count Von Count, One, Count Dracula, Zero....Ha Ha Ha. (Usual thunder and lightning.)

Waldorf: Someone should put a stake in this show!

Backstage: Piggy is still clinging onto Kermit and he decides to call off the bet. Even though the bet's off, she's still clinging onto Kermit.

Kermit: Piggy, I said the bet was off!

Piggy: Bet, what bet?

Sketch: Swedish Chef takes the term "Ice Cream Bombes" too literally.

Closing Number: An obligatory "Moulin Rouge!" medley, with the muppets repriesing their roles from the IAVMMCM parody, with the songs "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend", "My Song" and "Spectacular, Spectacular!"

Statler: Did you know that Moulin Rouge means Red Curtain in French?

Waldorf: I wish it was curtains for this show!
