Attack Dog Improv (a game show starring you)

The game: contestants race against a ticking clock to perform academically good improv; each successful move adds time to the clock and if they build the scene to a natural black out, they win!

However, if the clock runs out of time, the Attack Dogs (a group of the most irrepressible steam rollers and unmanageable wild card players) are unleashed upon the scene to devour anything in their way in pursuit of laughter and nothing else.

Can contestants survive and still make their way to a successful blackout, or will they be consumed alive??
