YMMV / Thank God You're Here

• Crosses the Line Twice: Some jokes achieve this.
  • One example involves a female guest playing a bride playing favourites with her sisters. When the groom talks about her youngest sister being absent, she mentions that while she died in a car crash, it gives the occasion a severe case of Mood Whiplash. She then laments that it wasn't her least-favourite sister who was involved in the accident.
• Ho Yay:
  • Ed Kavalee had a few of these moments with various male guests.
    • In the Series 2 finale, Frank Woodley portrays the captain of a British naval ship, and he ends up flirting with Ed throughout the scene, pressing their faces together and calling him "lovely", while also saying that he wanted to take Ed into his cabin in the next fifteen minutes...
    • Series 1, Episode 4: Angus Sampson told Ed's character that he loved him, and got Ed to sit on his lap.
    • Series 3, Episode 1: Josh Lawson, playing an alien who has just landed in the Gold Coast Hinterlands, refers to Ed as "the most attractive male of [his] species", and demands to make a baby with him (which only involves them touching hands, but still).
    • In two separate episodes (Episodes 1 & 9 of Series 2), Matthew Newton jumps into Ed's arms and wraps his legs around him.
    • Series 1, Episode 9: Bob Franklin plays a man who has just returned from war, and Ed's character is meant to be his secret boyfriend. The two promised to come out if Bob's character made it back alive, but Bob denies the romance by saying that Ed's character has an illness that makes him randomly grab the hands of other men.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: For the fourth season, TGYH made a Channel Hop from Ten to Seven. Set changes were made as the shooting location was changed to a pavillion at the Melbourne Showgrounds, and one of the pre-recorded warm up acts was swapped out for a scripted parody piece featuring former cricketer Damien Fleming endorsing all kinds of strange things. Notably, Shaun Micallef and Frank Woodley (arguably among the best performers in the show) did not make appearances at all during the fourth season. A fifth season was planned for 2010, however nothing ever eventuated and the show has not been mentioned by Seven since.
• Unintentional Period Piece: Pre-Channel Hop, the guests provide something of a snapshot of the Australian comedy scene (with a side order of radio and TV) of the mid-Noughties. Some of the sketches are relatively universal things (mostly the history skits) but others are things like parodies of the ABC program The New Inventors (which was cancelled in 2011).
