Staged is at its best when the duo are being funny, rather than debating whether or not they’re funny.

Even for a show powered by self-mockery and faux grandiosity (although it does often feel a smidgeon smug given how talented they both are) it was a clever move to have Palin telling them that Staged was basically crap.
