When they started playing the Vulcan battle music in the background, I just about died.
Which reminds me: everything set at the convention in Galaxy Quest. EVERYTHING.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I saw maybe two episodes of that show and they were both great.
Yeah, I admit I didn't appreciate it enough when it was on. How can MTV not even rerun it? I saw a rumor it would come out on DVD soon-- not that that's particularly credible. If it does, however, I recommend it.

Oh, Galaxy Quest also gave us that scene with Sigourney Weaver's and Tim Allen's characters having to run that gauntlent of random chomping presses, with Sigourney saying "Whoever wrote this episode should DIE!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh yeah, that one one of the funniest TV moments ever. Along with the attack of the godless communist tornados.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Yes, this.
I remembered two more while flipping channels tonight and catching an episode of Whose Line is it Anyway?
- British version. Game is Superheroes. Ryan Stiles as "Tight Underwear Boy".
- American version. Game is Green Screen. Colin Mochary (sp?) in front of the screen, which is (unknown to him) displaying a collection of clips of him from the show. The best part is early in the bit, he says the reason for the "news" he's supposedly reporting is "A bald joke gone horribly wrong" or some such.
Really, I think the British Whose Line is probably the most consistantly responsible for unable to breathe bouts of laughter than any other program for me.

British Whose Line, worst thing to say on meeting the Queen, Stephen Fry: "Oh, that reminds me, I must buy a stamp".

Thrive to spite them
One of the funniest things I've seen on the American version was Ryan Stiles playing a foal being born as a party guest.

Ann, that's a ferret.
"As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly," on WKRP.
Not least because the ep starts out so slowly and so low-key.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Everything Tony Slattery ever said.
I was walking with my handbag the other day,
I went up to my homie and he said "hey!"
He said "Hey, hey, hey hey hey hey hey hey"
And he was really repetitive so I shot him
