Jenny becomes a mallet-lifting strongman

Jenny says that she feels that her natural demeanour is weak, so she chooses to show off strength, in contrast.

Jenny begins her demonstration standing on a barrel, dressed in a toga, and wearing a moustache and crown. She welcomes the audience to the “Universe’s Strongest Heavyweight Championship”. She claims that she has been named the winner by all the judges in the universe, unlike the losers “Rubber Duck and Paddle Pop Sleeping Bear”, whom she gestures to, below her. She shows off her biceps, which are drawn onto her arms in black marker pen.

To prove how strong she is, Jenny then lifts a comically huge mallet with just one hand (but Tom Cashman can clearly be seen picking it up for her, while badly hidden using green-screen technology. She claims that the hammer is “light as a feather” just as Tom lets it drop slightly, and she panics.

In the studio, Jenny shares that she had been thinking back to the “OG Olympics, like Greek, where they were really strong”. When Tom Gleeson highlights her decision to call them the ‘OG Olympics’, Tom Cashman suggests that the ‘OG’ stands for “Old and Greek”.

Josh chimes in to say that although he doesn’t like complimenting Tom Cashman, he acknowledges that the giant mallet was actually very heavy, and tells him that him being able to lift it was cool. This prompts Tom Cashman to point out that the mallet only actually weighed 6.76kg.

Jenny earns 3 points for her display of strength.
