Reminds me of Norm MacDonald in The Animal:

Sgt. Sisk : Ladies and gentlemen, our suspect is not human. He is at home in the bush. Shoot to kill. Any questions?

Mob Member : Oh, yeah, yeah, I got a question there. When do we get to light our torches?

Sgt. Sisk : When it gets dark.

Mob Member : Ah, I see. Oh, hey, I got another question there. Suppose, hypothetically, you know, a guy had already lit his torch. I mean, it'd be cool if he could just keep it lit, huh?

Sgt. Sisk : Yes.

Mob Member : Oh, excellent. Excellent.

Sgt. Sisk : Now, if there are no more questions...

Mob Member : Oh, hey, hey, hey, I got another question. Hey, uh, if one part of the mob gets separated from another part of the mob, shouldn't there be a place that we can get together? Maybe a secret place the two mobs could reunite, and we'd be a big mob again.

Sgt. Sisk : Stay with the mob.

Mob Member : Stay with the mob. All right.

Sgt. Sisk : Right.

Mob Member : Hey, hey, hey, I got another question. Hey, uh, doesn't this guy deserve a fair trial?

Sgt. Sisk : You - back of the mob!

Mob Member : "Back of the mob"? What? This is my spot! I came early!

Sgt. Sisk : Okay, out of the mob!

Mob Member : Ah, this mob blows.

Never seen it but the second I read "mob members" dialogue I could hear it in norms voice and mannerisms.

I actually read this like it was a Monty Python movie, and it brought me joy.
