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!"
"As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly," on WKRP.
Oh yeah, that one one of the funniest TV moments ever. Along with the attack of the godless communist tornados.
Which reminds me: everything set at the convention in Galaxy Quest. EVERYTHING.
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".
One of the funniest things I've seen on the American version was Ryan Stiles playing a foal being born as a party guest.
"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.
British Whose Line
Everything Tony Slattery ever said.
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
Sorry, Tony Slattery isn't funny. That's actually one of Newton's Laws of Physics.
