To repeat what I said on YouTube "I will say to the day I die in the subgenre of Retard plays Football Adam Sander's Waterboy is the only good one purely because it doesn't try to be serious and by the end everyone but Retard is a weirdo"

To ruin you guys day Jackie couldn't sue Richard for that Rental Car ad mainly because he was too busy being dead (Jackie died in 1987 and that Chrysler New Yorker was a 1988 to 91 Model)

You guys need to cover the Rich Little Robin Hood special, I know a dvd of it exists bundle with the Christmas carol.

I honestly thought that was A.I at first. Truly astonishing!

First time I've seen a clip from that Haim, Feldman and his wife T.V show. I only really know of it, because they went on O&A to promote it and they were a total car crash. After they left the studio, Jim Norton and Anthony Cumia ripped the piss out of them and it's one of the funniest bits of O&A ever ; I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. Jim Norton in particularly is such a brutally quick ad-liber. Thanks for alerting my attention to that Mel Gibson pro-vitamins ad. That was wonderfully deranged ; God bless ya, Mel!

Killing it on the edits. Hilarious.

Worth the wait, guys. I can only imagine the amount of nineties TV detritus you had to trawl through to collect these.
