Haven't watched it yet, but the title says everything I need to know. This is exactly what I needed right now!

Steve Snyder

I’ve only read the title and already know I will watch this episode multiple times.

Dave I KNOW your fingerprints on something just from the thumbnail alone

Cheese a real yummer.

"The Jayne Mansfield Story", starring Loni Anderson and Arnold Schwarzenegger

Holy shit. I think this might genuinely be your best work. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a SMN episode, and simultaneously I don't think I've ever said "holy shit" out loud so many times at moments in a SMN episode where the historical connection just slaps me in the face, right before Cody makes even more horrifying historical connections that I *didn't* clock. This is truly brilliant, seriously. I'm gonna be spreading the public version around to try to get as many people as possible to watch it, because the message hits home harder than any "history is repeating itself" video I've ever seen, while still being genuinely hilarious. Take a bow, y'all.

I always like the little running bits, and constantly referring to it as "The 1980 TV movie 'The Jayne Mansfield Story' starring Loni Anderson and Arnold Schwarzenegger" was a good one

Do you publish transcripts of your shows?

Great episode, no notes. My feed pushed an older one about Baby Nut to me recently and I literally commented "I wish we could have more episodes like this these days but I understand why we can't" and then lo, we get this banger. Amazing.

Danish person here - can confirm that use of 'Danisher' was indeed racist.

steale ethridge

thanks it kind of reminds my of some of your older content.

You guys…this is an absolute masterpiece. 100% brilliant. 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

“If being poor were money, we’d be rich” is currently my favorite line of the episode. Updates to follow.

Zack Spiller

I love you all, but this video could have been 30 minutes without saying the name of that movie I refuse to mention and talking about you talking about said movie

Sam Larson

I haven't watched it yet, but this is a fantastic title.

Chibigodzilla

Well, I'm 12 seconds in and I have that feeling were by blood is starting to boil

David Fetrow

I can’t decide if I should be hopeful we made it through slop before or depressed we didn’t learn much then either. I guess I’ll go with depressed. Truely surprising. Bravo.

Vanessa Walsh

I've had "Hey Mickey!" Stuck in my head since watching this

I am happy that the jingle is dead, but what came after was not better.

Steven Smith

My father used to tape everything on TV that he likes, and edit out the commercials. You can see how the programs get shorter and shorter. They used to be 22 minutes, and changed to 19 minutes. I can't find any sources that acknowledge this, but my dad actually measured them.

David Black

Excuse me, I have a question. Who starred in this 80s movie?🤨😏

Dave Ruff

I thought this was going to be more of a rehash of GU's Manesfield episode of Into the Mr. Universe, since Dave wrote the episode, but man, it goes to some wild places. Also, as someone who's lived through that period, can confirm gum squirted in my mouth.

Steve Snyder

For anyone who hasn’t seen this episode on YouTube, go check out the ads. It’s an episode about ads, it writes itself, they’re great, go watch them.

Zach High-Leggett

Despite being primarily a news show, I think Some More News is always at its strongest when it's doing media and pop culture analysis.

Seth Barnard

was the mix up at 43:53 on purpose? my guess is yes lol

Cory Hammerschlag

Start putting together a "For Your Consideration" package with cheese and pizza quick together for the podcast Emmys (good lord, can you imagine the selection of people who would vote on such a thing?) because this is your baby right here - delightfully creative concept, excellent script, very interesting way to present the "time is a flat circle" argument. I think this might be one of my all time favorite SMN's, DCB is seriously becoming a powerlifter ❤️ the only thing I didn't like about it was: No Katy!! As a brief aside, I remember Pizza Quick, I used to make English Muffin Pizzas when I was a kid. DO they still make it?? Used to love that stuff

Kim

I counted 46 times that he says it -- 44 times correctly and 2 times "wrong".... That is so much commitment to the bit that I think Cody might be common law married to the Jayne Mansfield Story Staring Loni Anderson and Arnold Schwarzenegger. 😬😬😬😬😬

Eric Herde

This may be the first video where I have felt as absolutely disoriented as Cody’s character. Impressive work, y’all! The 80s truly were horrifying.

Aemr

this is bringing me back to smn the movie, amazing job y’all

Mayonaka Midnighter

I. Keep. Watching. It. the 1980 TV movie "The Jayne Mansfield Story" starring Loni Anderson and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

David Toplon

1-900-HOTDOG missed a bit of cursed media!

Sreekishen Nair

This is just brilliant!! I came of age in the 80s and remember all this very clearly, even some of the news broadcasts from WJBK (I grew up in Detroit's northern suburbs). Cody's reporting and analysis here is totally spot-on. Pardon me for gushing, but once again the folks at Some More News did a fantastic job!!! ❤️ The major news outlets could seriously take a lesson from you.

Dan Benningfield

Late to the party, but this was absolutely brilliant.

Chuck

Hoo boy, the writer’s room got their dosage dialed in perfectly this time.
