Griff is easily the best thing about this episode that introduces another unfunny American, Ron West, who'd do four more episodes.  Griff "eats John's sock" during a Chaplinesque FATS, to the delight of John and the studio audience, and the disgust of Clive.  Mostly though, people are trying too hard, with mediocre results, as this still suggests.

On the plus side, John gets to work with Griff (and imitate him).  On the minus side, that means Paul gets stuck with the unremarkable Richard Kaplan much of the time.  Note that both Dukakis and Bush (Sr.) are mentioned (but not imitated) for World's Worst person to be U.S. President, although this was most likely taped before the American election.  Note the exchange between Clive and Paul about Twiglet jokes after Party Quirks.
