Jesus. How have I never caught that one before?

Ugh shut up, if YOU disagree with the premise of this comments section or feature or both, YOU are also capable of not reading them. Jeeeez. You have to feel superior to the people feeling superior?

That name's been funnier to me since I learned German. I also once showed this sketch to someone from Ulm to explain why I'd heard of her relatively small and unimportant hometown. She laughed, but she might've been being polite.

I'd vote for Colin.

How about the fact that it's not actually cleverer or funnier to any degree than most other children's programming? I've seen it, it's passable, if I had kids I wouldn't be annoyed if they watched it. But it's not special in any way.

We all do. Didn't Morrissey have a song about that?

Try being a Caroline. Nobody warned me before my first Sox game. And they were playing the Royals. Erg.

Yes.

@avclub-87caf7c42aedbada42572e2374eed08d:disqus  I agree…Moe really went to shit in the recent episodes I've seen. New Simpsons ruins everything.

That segment was the scariest to me as a kid. I didn't know what it was a reference to, I just thought that it started off pretty funny and then got really intense for reasons I didn't understand. I'd watch the beginning and then run off to avoid the scary part.

Moe in this whole episode is totally priceless.

I remember being really scared by Beetlejuice and Mars Attacks when I was 7. Still haven't re-watched either…are they actually, like, at all creepy?

When I was a child to about the age of 12 they were the scariest thing EVER, but I was/am very sensitive to anything with horror themes, possibly because I was never allowed to watch them, except for stuff like this. The end of this episode especially got to me…everyone's so nonchalant about being turned inside out!…

And for a brief shining moment, public television gave the illusion of being cool and rebellious.

I remember when my local PBS did Monty Python marathons all night on New Years Eve when I was a middle schooler and that sketch came on at like 3 AM and little sleep deprived 12 year old me was sooooo freaked out…good times. Then we got DVR!

Up his wheel house? That sounds painful.

After all, let us not forget that breasts are also a fetish. A fetish basically everyone has, but a fetish nonetheless.

It's an old premise, the Onion has one too. And from what I've seen, they're all along the same lines. I wouldn't call it thievery, just well-trod ground.

Dear lord, man! Get to it!

I agree, probably the second or third-best ending (cause I know I'm forgetting one…). It's sort of a lets-just-tie-everything-together-real-quick-like ending but it's also just really funny, and like you said makes a weird sort of sense.
