The 'funny' bits of the leaders' debate

[...to counter the previous far too serious post]

OK funny might be 'pushing the envelope' as our US cousins (who work in a stationery factory) might say. But at least these are the bits that made me smile:

The cut-away to yawning man:
Gordy wittering on about something and the camera cuts to the audience (for reaction?) and lands on a man stifling a giant yawn. Sky coverage - who'd a thought it, tut tut!

The 'Dear Liza' immigration debate :
Gordon to Nick: You'd offer an amnesty to 900,000 illegal immigrants, dear Liza dear Liza
Nick to Gordon: You have to be realistically. What would you do dear Henry dear Henry?
Gordon to Nick: I'd deport them dear Liza dear Liza
Nick to Gordon: You can't deport 900,000 people - you don't know where they live, dear Henry dear Henry!
(Gordon to self in mumble: Perhaps I can find them on 192.com or Linked-In or something?)

The great neanderthal sex diagnosis:
Gordon to audience member: "Woman. You are one of them!"

Unfortunate choice of words prize:
1st - Afghanistan: Dave was 'blown away' by a soldier's comments.
2nd - Climate change: Gordon has hardly used a plane during this campaign. (Errr...nor has the entire nation!)

Pot calling deep space black:
Gordon to Nick: Get real!
[From the most unreal, wooden, empathetically devoid character in politics since John Major.]
