Top 5 Favorite Comedy Sketches

About this Episode
This is Jason David Frank and you're listening
to the Geek Cash Radio Network. You are now on
the inside of what I like to call the circle
of trust. We are all connected in a great circle
of life. You know something Bert? What? I think
you and I are going in circles. It feels like
we're going in circles. The circle is now complete.
When I left you, I was but the third. Now I am
the last. Because it's a circle. Yeah, we heard
about the circle. Yeah, it's what a million would
change. Hey, this is Chuck. This is Greg. And
this is Dan, and we are Talking in Circles, brought
to you by ECAST, Radio Network, a podcast that
would have took the sack and not throw the ball
away. Bitter Giants fan. Bitter Giants fan. Today
we are here to talk about our favorite comedy
catches of all time. Yes, anything from SNL to
MADtv to, you know, SCTV, I guess, if you really
wanted to. But before we get to our top five,
which I'm really looking forward to, let's...
How's the week been going for you guys? It's
going pretty good. I'm increasingly starting
to believe that Greg has powers of clairvoyance.
We just to fill the listeners in we organized
a little game night last night and Greg and myself
and his brother and Greg happened to bring up
the question of have I ever had Little Caesars
pizza and I said no not since I was a kid probably
like 25 years ago or something So I'm home tonight
and parents bring over Little caesar's pizza
that they stopped to pick up in town. So i'm
like what like i've not had this in 25 years
the day after greg mentions it boom very serendipity
And tomorrow you will feast on Something good
named susanna. So there you go. Hope she doesn't
cry for me Nope, no crying tears, but yeah, that
was uh That was quite interesting. So yeah, they're
pretty good pizza, you know, but other than that,
I was happy to get week one of the NFL season
under my belt and actually got to see my team
play. My dad and I went to Damon's to watch the
game on the big screen. So they have like that
Sunday ticket package and they have like four
big screens or whatever. So we actually got to
see our team play for once. And it was actually
on the portal. It was a featured game down here
since we get all the Redskins games. So. Yeah,
yeah, it wasn't on up here. They had the riveting
game of the Jets and Browns Man I'm like who
in the world is watching this game right Johnny
Manziel, man. That's you know, there you go That's
yeah, you guys had a pretty pretty pretty good
week. I know I mean It was close there We started
off slow, but you know, they made some halftime
adjustments and you know, they pretty much shut
them down mention We're recording this and week
two is actually Mean by the time this has come
out week two has already started. We're recording
this the Thursday So the Chiefs and Broncos are
actually playing right now So and I'm rooting
hard for Owen Daniel so I can actually get a
fantasy win this week I am not Greg and I are
going toe -to -toe So if there's no more talking
in circles, you might not you might know why
so but Craig how things are going with you and
Peyton Well, I have a story since we were off
for a little while since we've been doing two
episodes recording back to back. In that space
in between, I have an interesting story from
that. I went to the Italian festival here in
Scranton, which is a big deal. They have it in
the middle of the city square and they have a
whole bunch of food everywhere and there's a
whole bunch of people that come out for it. I
went with my brother to it. had a whole bunch
of great food, but then we were walking behind
some ladies, and so I approached. I actually
put myself out there for once. I approached,
and I go up to the one girl, and I'm like, excuse
me, can I ask you a question? And she looked
totally scared, totally creeped out, even though
her friend was kind of behind her and just kind
of smiling at me like, hey, what's going on?
The girl immediately goes, no. and gave me a
look of disgust. And so I walked away. Yeah,
it's tough runnings out there. And so I went
on my way. Later on, my brother and I went to
a bar that's close by and find another group
of ladies and... We go over and talk to them.
The one seems nice enough. She's talking along,
having fun, being chipper. The other one, not
so much. She's looking for the way out. So eventually
they leave and whatever. And they kind of give
us a nice little, yeah, thanks, but no thanks
kind of deal. But my brother and I are sitting
there and we're getting about ready to leave.
Then all of a sudden this group shows up next
to the table. It's... two women and this guy
and the guy's like hey do you mind if i smoke
here and we're like it's a bar you could smoke
wherever you want go ahead um and so he starts
smoking nearby our table whatever and so my brother
and i are talking all of a sudden he turns around
he's like i'm so sorry for smoking here blah
blah blah blah hope you guys don't mind we're
like he said it was fine it's totally cool dude
yeah smoke whatever And so finally he goes back
around to his friends and then he turns back
around towards us again. I'm like, what the hell?
But he's like, I just wanted to ask, how long
have you guys been together? My response is,
we've been together our whole lives since he
was my brother. Oh, oh, oh, okay. So he turns
back around to his lady friends and whatever
some time goes by and then he turns back around.
And he goes, so I was just wondering if either
of you guys are like gay or anything. No, no,
we're both straight. And he goes, oh, OK, because
I'm gay. And in my head I'm going, yeah, no shit,
Sherlock. So he's like, okay, yeah, he turns
back to his friends. And then he turns back again.
I forget, I've lost track how many times he's
turned around at this point. But he goes, he's
been mostly talking to me. My brother is there,
but he's not actively looking at my brother.
He like glances over to kind of keep him involved
in things that are going on, but he's focused
in on me. It's like laser beams. So finally he
goes, I just wanted to let you know. He's like,
I think you're absolutely gorgeous. You are hot.
You are a cub. You are the definition of a cub.
Son of a bitch. Thank you. Yeah, thanks. Yep.
Appreciate it. And so he goes back to his lady
friends again. And once again, he turns back
around. He's like, I'm going to leave you alone.
Sorry for bugging you so much. She's like, I
just wanted to tell you again that you are gorgeous.
You are absolutely gorgeous." And he's like,
all right, bye. And he leaves. So yeah, I have
better chance with men at this point than I do
with men. Well, you know, maybe it's better taste,
you know? Well, my boss is like, well, gay guys
have really good taste, so you should take that
as a really big compliment. I'm like, thanks.
Thanks, Rich. I mean, I've never been called
a kill before, so maybe. I don't know what that
means, but I'm sure it means something. It's
a hairy dude that can grow up to be a bear. Awesome.
Well, you know, you got that going for you. Yeah.
Not really sure what that means either, but okay,
let's get... We don't have enough time in this
podcast to explain what a bear is. Bear is a
very hairy man. Yeah. He's he's usually a fatter
dude, which that also means I need to work out
really bad. Oh, anyways Wow, so that's it. That's
an interesting thing. So I kind of had like a
random encounter as well. So not as random as
yours You do you didn't you do win that award
for today for sure? No, it was actually you ever
have one of those situations where like someone
comes up to you and like they're talking to you
like they know you and They even like say your
name and you're like, I have no idea who this
person is well that kind of happened to me a
couple days ago because I was dropping my son
off at daycare and I was leaving and someone's
like hey dan, how's it going and I turned around
i'm like hey and I like I thought the the person
I recognized them, but Yo went through the exactly
and but i'm like, I thought maybe they worked
there, you know, because we know i've only been
there a couple weeks I don't know everyone and
i'm like, hey, how's it going? You know just
having a conversation She was like, oh, small
world. I'm like, oh, obviously that means that
you don't work here. I'm like, oh, yeah, definitely.
Give me more clothes. Yeah, definitely. I guess
I'll see you soon. I'm like, oh, so we work together.
Great, that doesn't help me much. So she's like,
I don't know her name at all. Like, I don't know
your name. So she's like, yeah, I guess, I'll
see you. And I'm like, sure, sure, that will
happen. And I was trying to act like, When she
said that I kind of I'm like, oh, she works with
me. I didn't know that beforehand, but I was
trying not to show that in my face. Like, oh,
okay, that's who you are. Not to toot my own
horn, but being a manager in my department, there's
a lot of people who know who I am, I don't know
who they are, because there's like 200 people.
So I'm trying to act like I know who the person
is. And then when I get to work, having one of
the most awkward conversations of trying to explain
to another manager of like, yeah, I ran into
this person and like, oh, what do they look like?
And then next thing I know, I walk around where
my desk is on the other row and she's like sitting
in that row. So I'm like, she probably heard
my conversation about me explaining how I didn't
know who she was. So that's awesome and amazing.
So there you go. And so that was my awkward moment
of the day. Get a little close office quarters
that everyone can hear. Exactly. That's happened
to me, too. Like talking about someone and then
you realize they're like literally on the other
side of the thing. You're like, damn it. Probably
just heard all of that right now. No, take it
back now. I'll take it back now. Well, it's all
in. I might as well just bash them completely.
Might as well have some coin along here. All
the chips are on the table. Might as well. Might
as well flip the table over while I'm at it.
The other cool thing, though, is I had a awesome
uh pretty eventful birthday my family because
my grandfather turned 100 yeah so i'm like wow
that's a lot to live up to literally because
like that is yeah i'm like that's insane when
you think about it 1915 to 2015 how much has
changed since then so that's oh yeah so unfortunately
i wasn't i was not home to celebrate it but they
had uh he used to work for the Lackawanna Railroad
so they actually had this thing them come out
and do this whole Thing for him in celebration
and that was kind of that was definitely cool.
He was like the conductor back in the day. So
Here's something you don't hear me say often
at all God bless him for being like a hundred.
That's a lot of years. It's one of years. Yeah
With we were talking earlier regarding, you know
regarding NFL and it was we can probably maybe
touch upon that a little bit because it was a
rough first week for me like it it could not
have been worse as a Giants fan watching the
Giants in the Cowboys game it was just uh literally
white run when they throw the ball away on the
third down I'm like this game is over and I was
gonna come back and score and I'm gonna lose
it but then worse than that I'm like at least
I have fantasy and I had like one of the worst
fantasy loss I've had in a long time it's actually
for those I uh was playing Kevin Altman's solo
from Cinema Geeks and Going into Monday night
games. I'm up like 30 40 points. I have Adrian
Peterson He has Julio Jones and the Marco Murray
So I'm thinking I should be good I should be
good because the Marco Murray Julio Jones are
pretty there They're set for like 20 points each
usually but you know, then Julio Jones has like
one of the best Well weeks ever for my receiver
and the mark of worry he gets like four carries
But each is for a touchdown because screw you
Chip Kelly So he goes he goes up like by 10 or
15 points, but I'm thinking that's not that huge
of a lead I still have Adrian Peterson AP coming
back and then he craps the bed completely So
it's it was just a it was a bad week overall
overall, but I'm playing Greg this week So we'll
see how that goes, but What's up? You going down?
It was tough, but To cheer us up Chuck. I know
that you did get to check out a video So I'm
curious what you know, we've been talking about
a lot of YouTube videos and we'll get the sketches
later So would this be in the running for your
top five? I'm not sure if it was a comedy sketch
or not, but no, it's not a comedy sketch. It
was on YouTube I've been finding some interesting
stuff on YouTube lately This Think this is newer.
I'm not quite sure the the post that I found
on YouTube Said it was just shared on August
31st. So I think it's pretty much a new thing.
But um, it's it's basically It's a movie mashup
kind of amateur movie fan kind of put all these
movie scenes together cut them together and everything
edited them put music to it and Made like one
big movie scene. And it's called club. And it's
basically all the dance club scenes from like
all these different movies. And it's edited so
well that it seems like it's all taking place
in the exact same location. Like it is a one
from blade. Yes. Okay, I wanted to know that.
Sorry. And the great thing about this is, I think
the I mean, they used some sort of some sort
of CG because they kind of put like a color filter
on some of the movies so that like every scene
sort of has the same colors in it. Yeah, like,
you know, like the pinks and oranges, like stuff
you typically see in like one of those wild dance
clubs or whatever. And there's just for an example
of some some characters that are in it, there's
You have Anakin and Obi -Wan like from the from
the Star Wars scene where they were Being stalked
by that bounty hunter and everything so you have
them walking in and then they have like a cut
of They cut to a lot of other characters. So
you start seeing like you see blade in the crowd
Just kind of standing there with like, you know
that huge trench coat on and everything They
also show they showed Tom Cruise walking around.
I believe it's from the movie collateral. Yeah
Yeah, it was in a dancing him and actually Jamie
Foxx, too so you see can see them in the crowd
they're like looking around with all the people
and They show they show Al Pacino actually in
two different two different movies one one older
version and What was the oh my gosh, I should
be shot for not knowing this but what? Yes, yes,
sorry He was you know sitting at the booth and
everything and everyone's dancing but this it's
all you know It looks like it's in the same exact
club. It's uncanny how they do this and They
even have like Hellraiser in there They have
Terminator remember the scenery walk the nightclub.
Oh my gosh. It's so amazing. There's so many
characters in this and And then you see like
De Niro Robert De Niro shows up Couple other
people too. There's a couple of their important
ones. Oh, there's even a younger Tom Cruise working
behind the bar cocktail CCM like throwing the
bottles up and stuff pouring the drinks and everything
you see John Travolta from session fever And
that the whole the whole video is it's to the
beat of staying alive They don't they don't play
the words, but they have the beat through the
whole thing So they show people dancing in the
club and everyone dancing, it's to the same song.
So you see John Travolta over there and a couple
of other different characters. What is it? I
think Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone, you see
them out there on the dance floor and everything
grind and all creepy like. And Michael Douglas
looked like he did the younger version of himself
and Ant -Man, which is kind of cool. Yeah, and
then like but there's a plot to it like if you
actually watch it's like they use the scenes
from these movies to like follow through the
Some sort of a loose plot. It's really fascinating
and the one part you see like the the bounty
hunter from Star Wars coming up behind Obi -Wan
and Anakin and like she has that gun right behind
him and like Obi -Wan Just spins around quick
and cuts her arm off with the lightsaber And
like everyone stops like the music stops and
they show everyone's head looking up like from
all the movies you see Tom Cruise De Niro Arnold
like everyone looks up blade looks up and then
like all of a sudden you see Anakin he's like
Official Jedi business. He's like go back to
your go back to your business and then the music
starts again and you see everybody it's Amazing.
It's so cool. It's it's definitely the best mashup.
I've ever definitely put that in the show No,
it's like you cash radio comm for people to check
out. So yes It's called Hell's Club. Sounds intriguing.
Sounds intriguing. Yeah. Well, that sounds like
it might have had a better plot than the movie
I watched, because I watched Fantastic Four,
the movie that came out this past summer, the
8 % on Rotten Tomatoes that it represents. And
honestly, I say that, but I got to say, I know
a lot of people have said this, but I don't think
it's nearly as bad as people have made it out
to be. You know, is it a good movie? No, it's
got issues, abundance of them. But I do think
there are elements of it that I liked. The way
I kind of describe it is like, if you showed
me this movie and you said, hey, this is a TV
pilot for an upcoming film, you know, upcoming
TV show, I'd be like, actually, you know, it
looks pretty good. One, this perfects our TV
level for the most part. But there are there's
just a lot of holes in it. Character wise, like
a lot of decisions don't make sense. There's
like a flash forward sequence. So there's a lot
of missing pieces. What I really liked about
it was just kind of the tone and the approach
they took. What I found was interesting was like
the idea of taking kind of the fantastica for
and treating the idea of getting those powers
almost as like a horrific experience there's
a specific scene of like you see Reed Richards
and he's like awoken and he has like his limbs
are just kind of Extended and it just looks freaky.
It looks kind of this Doesn't seem sort of yeah,
just very disturbing the way it looks and even
you know Ben Graham and Johnny Storm, there's
almost like, oh man, you feel for the guy because
there's this constant look of this dude on fire
and in pain. So I like that about it, but it
lacks any type of motivation. And I think too,
one thing I hate about it. I hate the strong
word, but one thing I really didn't like about
it was I hate when some really smart characters
make really dumb decisions for little motivation
and the reasoning behind them getting their powers
and the process of them doing it. It just seems
like these are like the smartest men, you know,
on the planet and they're just making some really
illogical decisions and not for very little reason
behind it. And it's like, I don't get why any
of this is happening and it's unnecessary. And
two, You know, there was a lot of talk about
Victor Von Doom, and I thought Toby Keble, you
know, was fine as that character. He didn't really
get much to do. But the character himself just
is so underdeveloped. The last like 30 minutes,
it's just this stuff just starts happening for
no apparent reason. And they also make him way
too powerful to the point where it's like. You
know, he can make people explode with his mind.
And once you're that powerful, it's like, how
do you stop a guy that like that? Like, how do
you stop a dude who can just make people explode
with their mind? Like, why is he unable to stand
up against them? So I would say maybe give it
a shot, perhaps. I don't know. It's something
you really need to rush out and see or I wouldn't
put it in the category of like the worst of the
worst, like Electra, you know, or that level.
But it. Yeah, I think it's, you know, it's mid
-range maybe. Like I would say it's on par with
the Hulk, Ang Lee's Hulk, that there are parts
of it that you're like, you know what, that was
kind of cool. And then something really stupid
happens and you're like, oh. Yeah, yeah. Like
as a whole, it's not that great, but there are
parts of it that you can really get by. You haven't
seen it, right? Or have you? No, I haven't seen
it. But I wanted to ask you, like, the impression
I got from the trailers was that it had sort
of a... Don't know like a darker more eerie tone
than the other Fantastic Four movies. There's
not like an ounce of humor at all I would say
there's maybe little things out there. I gotta
say I'm a huge Miles Hullers fan fan Like I loved
everything he's done. He is not a good. Mr. Fantastic.
He just doesn't work as that character It just
it really didn't work. It was really awkward
didn't quite Sound or act like a genius. You
didn't get that kind of or that aloofness you
would get with Reed Richards. It never felt like
he was comfortable with the role either. And
I mean, like I said, I like Miles Teller, but
it was just a bad casting in that end. Do you
think Joan Graffard was a lot better? Man, a
lot better is a strong word. I do think, though,
he did feel more comfortable in the role. So
I would probably say, yeah. Michael B. Jordan
was fine as Human Torch. Though, again, there's
just it was the writing and the inconsistencies
of the character. Sioux storm was okay But I
think worst of all none of them have chemistry
Like they don't really come together at all.
They don't feel like a team They I don't know
They just feel like four four people from four
different groups of friends trying to come together
and it just seems like no one likes each other
Four people stuck in an elevator together that
get exactly that was pretty much the Why didn't
we get cosmic powers when we got stuck in the
elevator? I don't know. I think because we are
seeing in the corners. Oh, we already got the
corners out. No, but one thing I'd liked about
the other Fantastic Four movies was like there
was a little bit of chemistry there between the
thing and Johnny Storm, like they like that sort
of playful, like squabbling and like busting
on each other. Like that was a key component
from the comics, which I. I love the fact that
they put that in there. That's one of the things
I like. They didn't have any of that at all except
for like one doorway line at the end, which was
kind of weird because Jamie Bell, who plays the
thing and like human torches never really even
interacted one another. It was like one of the
first times they met. So they didn't really have
that kind of give and take nearly as much. Yeah,
that's that's part of it, too. Jamie Bell or
Reed Richards and Jamie Bell or Ben Grimm kind
of grew up as friends as kids and then. Run into
Sue Storm and his two storms adopted father or
you know person who adopted her at a science
fair and So like literally that's what happens
and it's like I'll come to this like thank you
come to this Science gigantic science school
to learn how to teleport things. Yeah So glad
I got an A on my science project. Oh, yeah. Well
the judge It was even the judge. He was just
a dude who showed up to like a high school science
fair Just random stranger adopted me. He liked
mine so much So I remember talking about the
trailer like way back when and I remember thinking
it looked sort of like a space Odyssey like Does
it seem like that at all or not really? There's
kind of like the similar build -up, but they're
They don't spend much time, you would say, in
space. It's basically the negative zone. They
go there, they get their powers, and then that's
where the final action sequence takes place.
But there's never much exploration, per se, regarding
the science of it. You just see a lot of montages
of them putting things together, but no really
explanation that really... Makes sense. It's
just kind of like we're building this. It's like
your tropical Reed Richards is like I'm putting
things together and now it's magic and now we
can go to different dimensions Yeah, I was wondering
what those scenes were like with the rock I was
wondering if that was like a different planet
with all the rock surface It is a different planet
slash different dimensions. So they call it planet
one or something like that So I took it as a
negative very original kind of a different way
of that. But that's because it's like it was
a early It was like an Earth type of planet that
was very much in its early phases of being developed.
Yeah. So Planet One, they stayed up all night
to hear that one. Exactly. We're going to need
another planet soon. What should we call that
one? Oh god, this is tough. Let me think. How
about Planet One? I suppose it wasn't planet
to be named later. It's like, yeah. That would
be as you can still tell though with the movie
that it was gutted and There are pieces missing
and that like things were either cuts or it Yeah,
it does like I say if it would work It's like
a TV pilot because it's like you could fill in
those spaces in upcoming episodes with flashback
episodes or something like that but as a movie
you're just like Watch the directors cut DVD
be like 40 minutes longer. Yeah But I know I
do think though it it's selfish what I like to
call blown ranger syndrome where it's a movie
with a trouble production That's not that good
but then gets piled on because of all the trouble
production So people are just like ready to hate
it. So then now it's like the worst thing ever
But it's like yeah, it's a bad movie But let's
not like make it seem like it's like the worst
movie to come out this year or anything like
that Yeah, it's I would give it like a two out
of five type of rating, you know, yeah, it's
It's still not nearly as low as like, you know
something like that Exactly. So I think it's
better than Roger Corman one which apparently
people love now I'm like hearing a lot of people
saying well, that was the best one Mike. No,
it was awful. Stop it We liked that one before
anyone even like Yeah. I liked it as the fact
that it was hilariously bad. So, yeah. Yes. Hey,
what do you expect when you use a cut scene from
nuclear test footage as your explosion? Oh, man.
Exactly. What hopefully is funny on purpose is
what we'll talk about in just a short bit as
we count down our top five favorite TV skits
of all time, and we'll get to that right after
this short break. Hey, I'm Gary. I'm Mike. I'm

have quite the task - Front of us as we are trying
to count down our top five favorite sketches
comedy sketches of all time And there are a ton
of them. I mean SNL has been on for 40 years
You have a living color to mad TV to SC TV to
Monty Python There's a ton and the key with this
too It's our favorite sketches not necessarily
what we considered the best because that's a
kind of a different list I would think but sometimes
I would think there's ones on mind that Gonna
help I think shape my comedy sensibility So they
may not be as infamous as some other sketches,
you know about but I find them funny So I'll
probably put some links on geocastreader .com
as well to some of these that Maybe you're not
aware of or ones that you are because it's always
it's always good to have a good laugh So but
before we get to the countdown, did you guys
have any criteria with your top five? Anything
you kind of looked at or you're just simply I
need some sketches that are funny. I looked at
pretty much like just my classic favorites over
the years. Which ones have I always like stopped
to watch whenever I come across them on YouTube,
on TV, whatever. Basically, which ones just made
me laugh like a crazy person. Greg, anything
for you? No, I just went with the ones that I
remember most clearly the ones that really stand
out in my head so it was it was kind of a knee
-jerk reaction of okay this one this one this
one this one and this one and then I had like
a whole list and then I just kind of sorted through
those sounds good I did something similar and
I would kind of also Affected me were ones that
I just constantly think of for no apparent reason
or I just find funny still today So I have some
that are you know from my childhood kind of to
ones that are recently Just ones that I see like
that I see myself quoting lines from even if
it's just inside my own head I think I'll actually
kick us off and I think I'll kick us off I'm
probably gonna kick us off with a sketch that
I don't think it's gonna be nearly as Popular
as a lot of ones we're gonna talk about because
it comes from a show that you know it Came out
in the infancy of Comedy Central when it was
first starting and it was one of the first shows
I ever watched in Comedy Central I'm not sure
if you guys ever saw this but it was called upright
citizens brigade. I Heard of people you probably
aware of Amy Poehler kind of it was a one of
the first big things she did She was one of the
members ratio sands as well on it and Matt Walsh
he was he was on it and he's actually in the
sketch I'm talking about it. It is very absurd
comedy Kind of like similar to kids in the hall.
Just some really strange things going on like
off the wall One of the sketches in that show
I've forgotten but this one I so for whatever
remember just because it It just makes no sense,
but it just becomes so hilarious. It's called
the astronaut sketch. The premises of it is that
there are these astronauts speaking as if they
would in an assembly, but it ends up becoming
this, the crowd begins to turn on them. And one
of the classic lines is like, I don't need astronauts
coming to my town to make my kids think that
they can't obey gravity. I'm not doing it any
justice at all. They're like, you guys are tang,
tang. drinkers it's probably put in the clip
right here but it's it's in fact the upright
citizens brigade is currently fighting a kind
of prejudice that never gets dealt with I'm talking
of course about prejudice against astronauts
please laugh it helps the healing now as we all
know NASA has been sending for man to walk on
the moon then we had been born to see me I agree
my community does not need astronauts to find
gravity in front of my children driving their
moon buggies through our neighborhoods all time
at night, playing that theme to 2001 really loud
on their Cosmo Blasters. Astronauts is. This
is a perfect example of what's going on. There
was a serious cultural clash in this country.
So in the spirit of opening those lines of communication.
I'd like to introduce you all right now to a
real astronaut, Lieutenant Mike Birchwood. Mike,
come on up, Mike. It's hilarious just the absurdity
of it. The reason it kind of comes to my mind,
because every time I think of NASA or something
like that, or any time I hear a story about space,
this sketch comes to my mind. And it's not, like
I said, an all time classic, but it helped shape
my sense of humor, just loving random things.
So I don't know. Sounds like it would be pretty
funny. All righty. Let's move on to Chuck. You're
number five. I don't know if you've ordered them
or not, or if you're just going bit by bit. I
guess it's not any particular order. I kind of
went a little bit. My last one will be my favorite.
I'll just say that. But for now, I'll see. I'll
do this one. This is from a very popular show
that I know we all watched on high school and
college. And it was one of my favorite skits
from the show. Whose line is it anyway? And that
is the game of sound effects. Pretty much no
specific one, but just the game of sound effects.
I really would do that game. And for whatever
reason, these things would make me laugh so hard
because if you if you don't remember the show,
they would pick two random people out of the
audience and bring them up and they would have
Colin Mockery and Ryan Stiles acting out a scene
and two people they picked from the audience
had to make sound effects for whatever they were
doing. And, you know, they had two microphones.
They each had one and they were assigned like
one person would do Ryan's and the other person
would make some effects for Colin. And it was
just hilarious because these people have no experience
at all, you know, using a microphone even, but
let alone making sound effects. And, you know,
they'd make just the craziest sounds. And then
the funniest part about it was just the way that
Colin and Ryan always adjusted to it. Like they
would adjust what they're doing in their scene
to convey like whatever sound effects they made.
And it was freaking hilarious. Like there's a
there's one where Ryan and Colin were supposed
to be Superman and Lois Lane. That was pretty
hilarious. There's one where Ryan is Indiana
Jones and Colin is like his, you know, some.
supposed to be some hot girl that he's with or
something. And that was pretty hilarious, too.
But any of those sound effects ones, I just think
they're hilarious because the people they pick
from the audience and it's totally at random,
but they're just horrible at making these sound
effects. They're often old women for whatever
reason. Yes, they do pick a lot of old women.
I think maybe that's on purpose. But and it's
funny, like if something's supposed to like click
or something, like instead of doing the sound,
they'll say like click. And then you'll see like
Ryan and be like, Oh, there's supposed to be
something wrong with this, you know? And they're
like, they keep doing it. It's just the adjustments
they made are hilarious. That was always one
of my favorite games. It'd be kind of funny if
they did it and then they get someone like Michael
Wilson by accident who's like really good at
it. They're like, this isn't as funny when it's
actually effective. It's not. Yeah, it definitely
makes the whole game, the fact that the people
suck at it. Very nice, very nice. Yeah, nothing
like sucking at games. Unfortunately, that's
why my fantasy football team is hilarious. All
right, Greg, moving on to you. What's on your
list number five? On my list, it's very much
repeated constantly in pop cultural references
and just random kids. everywhere know this one
no matter their age and it has to do with an
old VH1 show called Behind the Music and they
are doing Behind the Music of a band called Blue
Oyster Cult and it has, it had Jimmy Fallon,
Will Ferrell in it and Christopher Walken was
the special guest. And Christopher Walken's unique
speech pattern also adds to the humor of it.
And I am of course talking about the infamous
cowbell sketch. You always find Will Ferrell
showing up with cowbells. He shows up on SNL
during the music portions when the musical guest
is playing. He'll show up on other shows where
they have musical guests playing and he'll show
up with his cowbell. But it had some great lines.
Very memorable. I love the fact that Jimmy Fallon
is cracking up the entire time. It's always hilarious
when they break. And Jimmy Fallon seems to do
it most often. But got to get me some of that
cowbell baby. I love too about that sketch is
like the shirt Will Ferrell was wearing. It's
just like just small enough. I know it's got
to hang on the bottom. It's just perfect. Yeah.
I love the I love the Christopher Walken line
when he's like, he's like, I put my pants on
just like the rest of you one leg at a time.
Once my once my pants are on, I make little records.
So great. Yeah, that one. Bruce and I think actually
had on my list. Very nice. Yeah, it's it had
to be mentioned. So very good. Very good I mean,
I remember being I worked at Macy's and we have
like cowbell t -shirt. It did it was like a phenomenon
that became it's it's interesting because it's
such a random concept It's just but it ends up
working. So that's something that's usually when
it's announced that's best when it's not trying
to you know, when it's just like letting idea
work, but My next one is again is actually probably
from the first get show I ever watched and I
know Chuck You're not a Muppets fan, but I'm
not sure if Greg if you are and It's a show and
it's not I guess it's loosely comedy But it's
one of those sketches that once you hear it It's
gonna get stuck in your head and it's the phenomena
sketch It's so simple It's such a little small
beat, but it's genius in that end. It's lasted
the test of time. Again, as a kid, it just...
I found it hilarious because it's puppets making
a weird sound and somehow it ends up being funny
and it's you've seen people try to repeat that
type of success with the Muppet Show and things
like that. But there's not much I remember from
the show when I first saw it, but that is certainly
one that stuck with me and I still enjoy it.
I know even like they play it at some sports
games and things like that when like things are
getting boring and just that jingle. It's hard
to get. I'm not even going to say it too much
because it'll be stuck in my head forever. Yeah,
you don't know you don't Know and I'll keep my
explanation simple because there's not really
much else to say about it beyond that It's just
a straight pretty straightforward sketch. All
right, Chuck moving on to you. What's your what's
your number four? Let's see, I'm gonna go my
number four one Is actually this one from mad
TV, which I was a huge fan of back in the day
and I think during that time In my opinion, anyway,
mad TV was way better than SNL. At least for
that particular time in the like in the early
2000s there, I really loved a lot of the stuff
they were cranking out late 90s, early 2000s.
And one of my favorites has always been Lorraine.
Yeah. Played by Mo Collins. And it was just this
older lady that was just. So like nosy that she
was always like checking stuff out. She had to
get up close and personal and like check everything
out she was always like banging on stuff like
To try to like see how sturdy it was or something
for some reason and she's always making these
weird noises Like she always made this weird
noise. It was like What are you doing it was
hilarious she goes to the one the one she goes
to the dentist Every time he goes to put the
tools in her mouth. She makes that noise Like
obviously like the dentist jumps back and everything
I think the dentist was one of my favorite ones
and then there was another one where she goes
to a buffet and She's like up underneath the
glass looking at the food and everything And
she like and she goes Like cops all over the
food and everything like all these people are
there they like walk away. It's I can't describe
I'm definitely not doing it justice, but It's
just her demeanor and the way she pulls off this
character is amazing. I always thought it was
hilarious and She was probably always one of
my favorite female Comedy sketch actors. Yeah,
I agree that she had some really good I felt
was there one that she was out in like real life
and in the public or something like that and
Yes, there was well if it's the one I'm thinking
of she I guess her son was going to college and
She was interviewing random students on the college
campus To see what the college was like for if
it was good enough for her son and like Apparently
her husband was there but you never see him her
husband's name is Carl and she's all like yelling
boom like hey Carl check this out, you know and
a freaking hilarious There's a hot the hot tub
one is hilarious too. Did you ever see the hot
tub one? Maybe I don't This couple this couples
on their honeymoon and they're in the hot tub
and she She friggin shows up and gets in the
hot tub with them and she is so annoying to them.
She keeps pestering them and everything It's
hilarious. You gotta check that one out You two
enjoying the suds there? Oh yeah, yeah we were
Well, I saw you from up on the balcony there.
You look so lonely down here. Well, actually,
we're not lonely at all. We're on our honeymoon,
so... Holy wats, huh? That's cute. So what is
this big, big boxy basket? All right, Greg, moving
on to you. What is next on your list? I've got
another kind of musical one. I guess I've been
going with that, but it's it's actually something
quite recent Part of SNL's digital shorts, and
it's an actual Well, formed together, I think,
from the stitches and everything. It's Lonely
Island's Dick in the Box. It's Jimmy Fallon,
Justin Timberlake, kind of 80s boy bands type
of situation going on, and they just have this
hilarious situation of... presenting their penises
in a box. Who doesn't like receiving that gift?
I know I didn't at the bottom. And now I'm ready
To lay it on the line Wow, you know it's Christmas
And my heart is open wide Open wide Gonna give
you something So you know what's on my mind What's
on my mind A gift for your special So take off
the towel Take a look inside Is my dick in a
box? It's in a box Not gonna get you a diamond
ring That sort of gift don't mean anything Not
gonna get you a fancy car Girl you gotta know
you're my shining star Not gonna get you a house
in the hills A girl like you needs something
real Wanna get you something from the heart Something
special girl It's my dick in a box My dick in
a box babe It's my dick in a Hey, you know, you
gotta you gotta get presents to your cup Wait
a minute, I think you left Very cool. Well, I'm
gonna get to when I probably got the ones that
we're kind of off the wall a little bit But this
one is might be on your guys's list. I'm not
sure Might be odd, but it's from I think probably
one of the best comedy sketches going shows on
right now. That's key and peel And they have
a lot of great stuff and there's a lot to choose
from but I think this is it's kind of an obvious
choice because it's probably their most famous
famous sketch, but I also find it it's Just in
a small way. I have a personal connection to
it and it is substitute teacher All right, listen
up y 'all. I'm y 'all substitute teacher. Mr.
Garvey I taught school for 20 years in the inner
city, so don't even think about messing with
me. Y 'all feel me? Mm -hmm. Okay, let's take
a roll here. J. Quellen. Where's J. Quellen at?
No J. Quellen here? Yeah. Uh, do you mean Jacqueline?
Okay, so that's how it's gonna be. Y 'all wanna
play? Okay, then. I've got my eye on you, Jake
Cullen. Balake. Where is Balake at? There's no
Balake here today. Yes, sir. My name's Blake.
Are you out of your goddamn mind? Yes. Yes. I
was hoping. It is quite amazing as someone who
taught before and who's taught in different communities
and whatnot. It was classic. A .A. Ron. I mean,
come on now. A .A. Ron. Balake. Chikwele. Basically,
he just keeps mispronouncing people's names.
Principal O'Shaughnessy. It's like, no. Yeah.
Oh, I'm yeah. Again, it's kind of unfair. Just
that is it is quite funny. Ironically, I knew
someone who was called literally called a Aaron.
We were calling them Aaron, but no, their name
was Aaron. And that was amazing. So I think there's
three of them, if I'm not mistaken. I think the
first. Oh, there's three. OK, I've seen that.
I've seen two or three. I thought there was three.
I'm not sure, but I remember the. The second
one is good, but it's not as good. I mean, it's
hard to do that twice. The second one, I think,
is where they're all they're trying to get out
of class or something. They have like a yearbook
meeting stuff like that. Yeah. And they won't
let them. And the one guy's like, I have to go
pick up my kid. Yeah. So I do love that. That's
kind of like the thing that kind of made them
huge. I would assume. I mean, they have a lot
of great ones. You can pick and choose, but.
And what was up with your teacher? I like their
racist zombies. These are some motherfucking
racist zombies. They have some really good skits.
Yeah, I'm sad this is their last season, so that's
kind of sad. All right, Greg, what's... No, wait,
sorry. Chuck, what's next on your list? Next
on my list? I'm going to go with a... Another
mad TV skit and this was it wasn't really a running
skit like Like Stuart or Lorraine or any of those
other ones? This was kind of a one -shot deal,
but I thought this one was always hilarious And
that is can I have your number? I don't know
if you guys remember that one It's basically
this creepy guy this It's a black guy, but it's
actually played by a woman. Her name is Nicole
Randall Johnson. But she plays a great part.
And she plays this dude that is hitting on this
girl at a movie theater. And he goes in and he
sees her sitting down in the front row. And his
eyes open up. I keep saying him. The character
is him, but the actress is a woman that plays.
you see his eyes open wide and everything and
he's like looking and he goes he goes oh damn
and like she doesn't turn around and then he's
like louder he's like oh damn and she turns around
and like all of a sudden he's like right next
to her and he's like can i have your number what's
up oh yeah uh my name derail it's spelled like
darryl but it's pronounced derail uh yeah i just
want to let you know the back of your head is
ridiculous Thanks. Yeah, you are welcome. Where's
your boyfriend? What? Who? Your boyfriend. Where
your boyfriend at? Is he getting you refreshments?
Is he tall? Is he getting you Mike and Ikes?
Are you like Mike and Ikes? Is he hefty? Is he
coming back? Where your boyfriend? Where your
boyfriend at? Where your boyfriend? I don't have
a boyfriend. Oh, you don't? Oh, you don't have
a boyfriend? Oh, okay. Okay, okay, that's cool,
yeah. So, listen, um, I was wondering, can I
have your number? Can I have your number? Oh,
it's freaking hilarious, and she's trying to,
like, obviously, like, push him away, because
she's like, no, I'm kind of just here to, like,
watch this movie by myself, like, you know, this
is my day off from work and everything. He's
like, oh, okay, I get you, I get you. Yeah, I
got that. And, like, he'll leave for, like, a
second, and then he comes back and he's like,
so, uh, can I have your number? And he's just
so creepy with the eyes and everything like it's
hilarious definitely higher Yeah, I've not heard
of that when you were talking about the the one
time sketch I was thinking of the one when they
tried to teach actually, it's key how to drive
with Bobby Lee I was actually watching that today
and it's like Bobby Lee for some reason keeps
trying to get naked because for no And that's
the clock and that's pretty much yeah, yeah and
another minute would be 1201 and that's how the
clock works Anyways, alright Greg moving on over
to you. What is your number four? three Number
three is classic it involves The man, the myth,
the legend, Chris Farley. And I think we all
know this one. I don't think we could say much
more than that. He's living in a van down by
the river. Oh, yeah. Perfect. And once again,
there is somebody breaking in that, and that
is David Spade covering up his face the entire
time as Chris Farley is falling through the furniture.
I love when that happens. It's just great. He
is the greatest at physical humor, and I have
another Chris Farley one that's coming up that
most certainly shows off his physical humor side,
which I think is even better. Yeah, that's Chris
Farley at his best. There's actually a documentary
that came out this year about him I wanted to
check out. I haven't seen it yet. sad sad to
see him go because when he was on like there
was no one funnier he was just so naturally funny
like you know you see people try to do Chris
Farley but no one can no one can so yeah no there's
nothing like the original very nice yeah i'm
glad glad Chris Farley's getting some love because
he's he's had a lot of great sketches back in
the in the 90s with him and spade and wow sandler
and whatnot so It's very cool. All right. Well,
we're already kind of getting down to the nitty
-gritty already my number two and I don't know
this one's on yours, but it's probably my first
Saturday Night Live sketch but sketch and it's
one of I guess Maybe what made me fall in love
with Saturday Night Live when you talk about
like Chuck You mentioned ones that you stop and
go to you like if I hear this one in the background
when it was on like I would Stop over everything.
I was doing to go check it out. It was like the
one reason I went to watch SNL I'm like, I hope
this they do it this week I hope they do it this
week and it's not just one particular one, but
it's celebrity jeopardy I'll take the tits now
for 800 That's let it snow It's a French expression.
Bonjour, mademoiselle. I'd like to see the tits
now. There are so many of them, like obviously
anyone with Burt Reynolds or Sean Connery. So
many like you talk about quoting lines. I mean,
S words for 2000. That's swords, John. The penis,
my dear. No appetite. I'll take the rapist for
20. That's a therapist. Exactly. Actually, I'll
join in with you on this one because this was
my number two as well. Do you have a favorite?
I know there's a lot to choose from. Any favorite
characters that would show up in the Celebrity
Deputy? I think, let's see, Sean Connery was
in every one pretty much. I don't know. I liked...
I thought French Stewart was pretty good. Yeah,
for sure. It was good. I like the, uh, Oh my
gosh. What's his name? Jeff Goldblum. That was
pretty great. That was a great, great impression.
Yeah. Uh, what do you call it? When you, uh,
medieval times, you would put them in the, uh,
on the square. You mean the stocks are a pillory.
Yes, that's it. It's a fricking hammer. That's
great. Yeah, and also like obviously Burt Reynolds
when he came on as turd Ferguson that you see
too recently there was actually In the final
real jeopardy final jeopardy question. Someone
didn't know the answer. So they put Ferguson
as their response. Yes The lady's my hero now.
She should have won because Yeah, I think like
I don't think a lot of people got it cuz like
for whatever reason maybe people have forgotten
because it's been so long or whatever but Like,
how do you not know what this is? Like, this
is hilarious. I saw they did like a musical one.
I remember the one time like Dave Matthews was
there. And then also Sean Connery, who was like
he released an album just to be on that show
or something. I'll take a bump cover. That's
an album cover. Oh, that's a good time. What
about you? That means Terry Ferguson or Burt
Ronald to me was like, Norm MacDonald. Burt Ronald's
on point. It's great. Jimmy Fallon had a pretty
good Adam Sandler like that. Yeah. He's a good
impressionist. Man, there's a lot. Oh, how about
Ben Stewart? Ben Stiller as Tom Cruise? That's
like the one impression he does pretty well.
Yeah. Bjork I remember it like I forget who did
it was a Renault writer who had Bjork that was
She was kind of weird. Oh, yeah Yeah, very didn't
they do it. Oh, they did Bill Cosby once too
Well, they did it on the 40th anniversary with
Kenan Thompson and it was supposed to be Eddie
Murphy doing it, but he turned it down and he
wouldn't do it. So They had to do it. It was
like it was a video sketch and it was like how
to mix a drink or something like that. I think
actually I think they had Bill Cosby and the
older ones too, I think, because I remember like
I remember on the final Jeopardy thing of like
what he wrote. I remember Trebek reading it and
it's like, let's see what he wagered. It's. Friesel
frazzle. It always cracked up. That was such
a great skip. All right. So yeah, we will share
the same number too. Greg, what about you? What's
next on your list? My second one is... Is a Monty
Python sketch which is a classic and they also
redid it on SNL like they they did the the sketch
during SNL which was No one was laughing. I'm
like this is Yeah, no one in the crowd was laughing
at it. It was so bizarre You know people just
don't appreciate good comedy these days, but
it is This parrot is no more. It has ceased to
be. It's not pain and it's passed on. This parrot
is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired
and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot.
It's a stiff... And he's slamming the dead parrot
on the countertop. It was just hilarious. I love
British humor and Monty Python always does it
for me when it comes to British humor. I loved
all of their movies and everything, but The Parrot
Is No More is a classic. Yeah, definitely. It's
one of the pioneers, for sure, of sketch comedy
is Mighty Python. I never really watched it as
a kid. I remember seeing the commercials all
the time because they would have a special set
or something they would always try to sell. It
was a good time. Are you making it down to our
number one and my number one was kind of hard
but I ended up going with this choice because
I am a fan of I like I like to know like political
comedy and I gotta say what SNL is not as best
it's when it has good political comedy and Not
necessarily one way or the other but just using
the political comment as a as a tool to make
jokes and I don't think it was ever better than
in the 2000s when they had the presidential debates
with Al Gore and George Bush and, you know, Darrell
Hammond and Will Ferrell as George Bush and Darrell
Hammond as Al Gore. Both of those guys, you know,
they were able to make great characters. You
know, all those candidates, Dale Hammond made
Al Gore interesting, which is hilarious. But
what was awesome about it was taking like what
actually happened in the baits, but kind of just
tweaking it a little bit and making it hilarious.
And they came out in 2000, you know, right when
you were in high school, which is like the perfect
age for me when it comes to like SNL, because
that's usually when you kind of discovering your
type of sense of humor. To this day, you know,
I look forward to. SNL trying to do political
sketches or political baits like that. I don't
think they've ever come that close since. It
was able to like deal with politics, but not
necessarily be one side or the other. It's just
kind of making fun of the system and themselves
or the characters themselves. And, you know,
Farrell's George Bush is so it's funny. It's
a good time. He's got that just the facial expressions,
which are priceless. So it's the one I go back
to a lot. And again, it's set the bar for me
when it comes to like Well, you know presidential
impersonations and things like that and then
the last one was perfect because I got Daryl
and that's how I'm in but I'm what's his name?
Yeah, the last part because Dana Carvey shows
up as you know as George Bush senior and it just
puts it all together so That when they put in
at this job exactly. So that just It tied it
all together for me. So that was my that's been
my all -time favorite sketches or those I don't
know if you guys remember those at all or any
they come to mind or I do yeah, I remember that
was uh, that was pretty big at that time. There
was a lot of And it was huge too because there
was such a like the political climate was so
kind of uh Hectic and you know, there was a huge
split So it was good to have that because I felt
like it was something that everyone could kind
of laugh at equally. So You gotta love the lockbox.
So All right, Chuck move it on to you. What is
your number one? Well, let's see. My number one
is yet another mad TV. Really? Wow. Mad TV representatives.
Yes. Yeah, I had, well, I had celebrity Jeopardy
from SNL. I actually had cowbell on my list,
but I put something else in there just to mix
it up a little bit. But I would say cowbells
on there too. But number one, this is definitely
my favorite sketch of all time. And this was
a reoccurring sketch that there's many, many
little episodes of it, I guess you would say.
And that is Coach Hinds. Nice, nice. By far my
favorite. I love these sketches. If you've never
seen Coach Hinds, you're really missing out.
It's basically this psycho gym teacher at high
school. And he's the he's the coach is a basketball
coach. He's the football coach and he's the gym
teacher. He's the. detention guy after school.
He does everything and he's so extreme with everything
he does. You got to check out this guy's getup
too because he's got a yellow polo shirt with
really, really short blue shorts. And then he's
wearing a tie with the polo shirt. And then he's
got the end of the tie tucked into the shorts.
And really high socks, too, like knee socks.
It's Keen Michael Key, the guy from Keen Field.
Yeah. And I think that's kind of what launched
him into his, I guess, stardom or whatever you
want to call it. But that was one of his early
successes by far. You can certainly see the similarities
with that character and his character from The
Substitute Teacher. Oh, yeah, definitely. Yeah,
I definitely got some inspiration from that.
But Coach Hines is just hilarious. There's so
many. There's got to be at least 10 of them,
I think. Maybe even more. But some of my funny
ones, I remember like. The one where they were
actually at a basketball game. He was coaching
like from the sideline And he's just like during
the game like his players are like goofing up
high school basketball teams They're making little
mistakes and he's like screaming like threats
at his place And one of the like one of the recurring
characters and it was Bobby Lee who played a
kid named Yamanashi So he kept like, he would
keep screaming at Yamanashi. Like it was a recurring
thing in all these skits. And like the, I remember
the basketball game one, he's like, Yamanashi,
I'm going to cut off your scrotum and make a
coin purse out of it. You just say really like
vulgar obscene things like right, like out of
left field. It was fricking hilarious. And then
there's like, I remember there was two, uh, Two
older ladies like behind him in the crowd that
were like Criticized in the way he was coaching
or whatever and he turns her and he's like, all
right you two Outside after the game double homicide
He's just so extreme and I guess one of the one
of the reasons I like it so much too was for
the one particular episode They have an assembly
in the auditorium. I know. I'm sure your teachers
have informed you all the reason we're at this
assembly. Yesterday afternoon, there was yet
another near riot during fifth period gym class
involving a number of our students. And we intend
to get to the bottom of this. Now, I personally...
Cintola! Yeah. I see you. Secure it, son. Secure
it, okay? You want to talk? We can talk after
school during detention, huh? You think you'd
like that? No? Then you keep it zipped. Thank
you, Coach Hines. Thank you. And it kind of reminded
me of the assemblies that we used to have in
our auditoriums, just how crazy they were. And
like, in this sketch, like, he keeps interrupting
the principal while he's giving his speech because
there's kids, like, the audience, like... messing
around and screwing off and everything so he
would just literally cut off the principal and
just yell out at somebody's like yamanashi i
see you chewing that gum and you just you just
freak out like for no apparent reason and it
just you keep interrupting him it's just hilarious
i would watch as many coach hinds videos as you
can it is hilarious yeah they're quite good quite
good very nice very nice all right greg moving
on to you finishing up here what is your number
one Well, I said it was gonna be another Chris
Farley one coming up and Chris Farley is my number
one it's I believe one of his first appearances
on Saturday Night Live and You can tell it's
his first appearance because he is just putting
it all on the line He wants to make a good impression
and he makes an outstanding impression We have
one of Chuck's favorite actors guest starring
in this one I'm not coming up with his name.
Patrick Swayze? Patrick Swayze, thank you. I
kept coming up with Kurt Russell for some reason.
But Patrick Swayze is in it. And he is a Chippendales
dancer. And it's down to the final two. And it's
between Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze. And
just looking at the both of them just side by
side, both have their shirts off. No matter how
good Patrick Swayze looks, how well he dances.
Chris Farley always wins that in my mind because
he is just hilarious. His moves for a big man
are just amazing. He is like a super powered
being in that that skit. It's just the energy.
It's it's just incredible. If you do not know
about that one, you've been living in the dark
somewhere and you're an idiot. Like, yeah, I'm
really slamming them. Yeah, and like Swayze has
like his like line mane of hair in it. Oh, yeah,
his hair that is absolutely gorgeous. It does
look like a lion's mane. I love how at the end
of that they're like congratulating each other.
Like Patrick Swayze is congratulating him because
he's like, I think he got it, man. It's just
so ridiculous. And I felt so bad for Chris Farley
at the end of that. Yeah, and then of course
Kevin Nealon, he's like, he's like, well, it
was a really tough discussion. You know, you
guys were really close. Any honorable mentions
for any of you guys? Yeah, I have a couple of
honorable mentions. I know obviously you had
one on your list, which was substitute teacher.
I wanted to, I was glad somebody brought that
up because that one is hilarious. Also, I used
to love the Steven Seagal sketches on Mad TV
with Will Sasso. Oh, they're freaking hilarious.
He would squint his eyes and he would have his
hair slicked back and everything. Those are so
funny there. There was quite a few of them, too.
And some of them actually had they had David
Carradine on there and stuff. And I remember
him like snapping everybody's neck and the ones
to get and stuff. When I had to sleep over with
it's like, is it Seagal or? Uh, with all the
action stars, it's like Schwarzenegger and they're
having a sleepover or something like that. I
think Van Dam might've been in there or something.
Uh, yeah, those were always funny. I think he
did one, there was one with, uh, a guy that played
Van Dam too, where they were like brothers and
they're like, they had to team up to fight somebody
or something. That was pretty funny. So those
were good. And then probably my last one was,
uh, A show that I haven't mentioned yet, which
is In Living Color. One of the great skits I
like from that show is Haemon. You're familiar
with that at all? That's with Damon Wayans. He
was, him and his family, they were like a Jamaican
family. And every skit that they did, they would
always be like operating some new business. And
they're always bragging about how many jobs they
all have. Like, I got 15 jobs, man. And they
keep going on and like bragging and everything.
And, you know, the girl says she like meets a
guy. And the first thing her father asked is
like, how many jobs do you have? And she's like,
only one job, only one job. They're like freaking
out. It was hilarious. There's some other ones
that that they did in there, too. They're they're
next to. they're in this like strip mall and
they're next to this Korean family that has like
a flower shop and they're like competing like
who's like the harder -working family and everything
and they get in like arguments and stuff that
one's really funny so yeah but hey hey mon from
in living color that one's that was really good
too yeah any anyone to you greg um not really
skip but um but uh i really uh like the Robert
Schmiegel cartoons, especially Ace and Gary,
the ambiguously gay duo. I don't think it's really
a skit, but I really love those. Also, Insults,
Comic Dog. I'm trying to think of other stuff.
Any commercial stuff that they did on SNL was
really great. Oops, I Crapped My Pants is one
of my all -time favorites. It's Oops, I Crapped
My Pants. That was good, yeah. When the grandma
is walking away and she's got a diaper full.
But yeah, anything like that was really good
for me. Money Python, anything they had going
on was really great. I agree. Some of the ones
that come to mind, I was the delicious dish was
really funny with Alec Baldwin. It's kind of
like what made him do comedy in a lot of ways.
Oh, you know, it's a sorry. I didn't mean to
run either. How about the SNL skit? Another Farley
one. The bears. That's a great one, too. All
the super fans. We know that it was pretty funny
one, too. And even though I'm not a huge Ray
Romano fan, there was a skit with him doing being
an SNL anchor, but saying like really appropriate
things. Like, oh, the one I was going to say.
Again, I don't know if it was kind of a skit,
but any like normal McDonald's weekly weekend
update. So yeah, I mean, there's probably a bunch
that we're forgetting. But yeah, there's there's
always going to have that. All right. but yeah
