Plot

In a series of short skits, Leon Schuster uses candid camera and several disguises to stitch up the general public of South Africa. Such sketches include:

  • The watermelon pulse test, where Leon shows that a watermelon is only ripe when it does not have a heartbeat, much to the confusion of the seller.
  • Cooking on the bonnet of a car, while upsetting the traffic police.
  • Supposedly killing a cow in a butcher's shop.

Cast

gollark: I agree, extracurricular stuff is a weird thing to base admission stuff on and probably not all that relevant.
gollark: Standardized test things aren't really ideal in terms of judging how good you actually would be about a subject, but if you actually can measure merit well it seems a way better thing to base admission stuff on than the alternatives. It is kind of a big "if", though.
gollark: I mean, it is still discrimination, it's not *reducing* it.
gollark: Presumably, second amendment?
gollark: It would be neat if they had supercapacitor-based low-end short-range self-driving electric cars which could be temporarily rented from a pool for travel in cities or something.
