Mission Impossible

Agent Michael Piper is briefed on a covert break-in to recover a classified list. The plan starts with familiar spy-film obstacles, including biometric checks, a deep descent and sensitive alarms, before introducing an obscene requirement involving a guard dog. Piper keeps interrupting to question that step, while his handler treats it as routine procedure. Increasingly disgusted by the explanation, the agent refuses the assignment, leaving the handler to complain about the absence of his preferred replacement.

In their companion commentary, the troupe discusses how the corny opening name joke sets up the sketch’s abrupt turn into shock humor.
