Back in the early nineties The D-Generation did a skit on The Late Show about a new razor which had something like 16 blades. Only another 11 to go.
Update: I found a transcript of the skit:
The first blade distracts the hair, while the second and third blades sneak up behind it, cutting off any escape routes. The fourth and fifth blades attempt to coax the hair from its hiding place using modern modern counselling techniques while the sixth blade, posing as a passing motorist, acts as a decoy, allowing the seventh and eighth blades to swoop down and quickly overpower the hair. The ninth blade, disguised as a postman, administers a small dose of chloroform, allowing blades 10 through 13 to remove the hair and escort it away for further questioning. The 14th blade informs the hair of its rights. The 15th blade handles the paperwork and the 16th blade, well, it's just along for the ride.

As I was researching this I realised that the core group of the D-Gen (Cilaro, Sitch, Kennedy and Gleisner) are probably the most savvy of our comedians - D-Gen Goes Commercial not withstanding. They've always been bleeding edge and always gotten out before they've become stale - the exception being The Panel, which really should have died after the second season.
I think theyve gotten to the point (whilst appearing on the Panel) where they realise that this is a steady paying job so why not milk it for as long as they will pay us.
I know I would.
