Why not resign yourself, without any inducement mind, to your 'specific role' as viewer for this week's bumper Mad as Hell ep? There's the PM in NZ, the HRC report under fire, food labelling laws, blue ties, welfare changes...and a spill clock still ticking...

This week Mad As Hell dissects the Intergenerational Report before conducting further autopsies on the GP co-payment (dead), Harrison Ford (still alive), Defence Force pay (getting better), Australia Post (critical) and the Prime Minister (stable for now). Satire all sewn up.

This week Mad As Hell picks its way through the smouldering remains of the House of PUP, flips its wig over pensions, scoffs at homeopathy, fathoms the government's car industry policy reversal and crossly examines Joe Hockey v Fairfax.

Season-only
Raising our blood pressure on Mad As Hell this week: dull budgets, feral senates, double dissolutions, 457 visa changes, a load of old Goebbels and an unhealthy fixation with Christopher Pyne.
8 Episode 8
4/1/15
Season-only
Mad As Hell gets right ornery this week over budgets on fire, Labor's submarine plans, the PM's polls, and Mike Baird's election triumph over (check opponent's name). Easter egg: the man who taught Bill Shorten to zing.

4/8/15
Season-only
Stuck in our craw on Mad as Hell this week: the Jacqui Lambie Network, a conversation about tax, a paper about defence, pensions, scare campaigns, Kevin Rudd, Nazis, and the straight dope on curling wands.

Season-only
In the 'turns out it was all a dream' season finale of Mad As Hell, we get freaking ropeable over corporate tax avoidance, sink our teeth into double Irish sandwiches and American Pie, plus much, much less.

Shaun Micallef is the funniest man on TV. The cast that support him are extremely good actors with some absolutely brilliant moments, and very very funny also. His commentary on the world of news, media and politics throws a refreshingly honest spotlight into the arena of lying, cheating, misrepresenting, dull predictable and pretentious 'r' souls whose garbage we have to ingest each day. The writing, sketch timing, and role playing are brilliant, fast, constantly evolving, always surprising, always hilarious, forget laugh a minute it is laugh a second, and the show never takes itself seriously for a second. A beacon of buoyant brilliant humor in a dull mediascape. Its kind of clever so you can understand cretins not getting it, but I for one am always grateful when it is aired.

Satire is thinking person's comedy. That's pretty obvious from some of the negative reviews I've read. Very random at times but it's brilliantly done.

Someone who thinks hes clever attempting to be funny makes only petty. Worst ever. Worse than Kat and Kim.
