Good Night (T.H.I.S. Episode)

Revision as of 14:32, 7 July 2024 by MalleableRubber (talk | contribs) (finished the transcript)

Good Night is the tenth, and final, episode of Tally Hall's Internet Show, which premiered on their website January 19, 2009. The episode runs 10 minutes and 53 seconds and is best known for the music videos of the song Ruler Of Everything and Hidden In The Sand. The title of the episode is most likely meant to bookend the series, as the first episode was titled Good Day. It could, however, also pay homage to The Beatles song of the same name, as Tally Hall have proven themselves time and time again to be fans of The Beatles, specifically the White Album.

Ross moves into the background. Joe Hawley comes into the foreground doing a finger gun motion, the red block with his name on it comes out like a flag from a prop gun. Joe moves into the background.

Andrew moves into the background. Zubin moves into the foreground, unfolding the block, which has his name on it when he moves it down slightly.
