"Freedom! Horrible, horrible freedom!

You mean I shaved my bikini zone for nothing?!

I was just watching the episodic on DVD and for the first time ever had the icon pop up that has the audio of David Mirkin going over the change in lyrics joke with James Taylor.

I've always gotten a kick out of the way he stresses the name Toby in that line, so perfectly annoyed.

Compadres, it is imperative that we crush the freedom fighters before the start of the rainy season.  And remember, a shiny new donkey for whoever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya.

(touchtone phone sounds)

Also in this recent run the Smartline exchange with Homer and asking about scooping the goo out of each others brains in Homer the Vigilante.

Ad we all know next week has one of his all time highlights.

Frankie did say she tried to rig the wheel so that it landed on the Axl punishment, and to her credit she kept saying the spins didn't count.  I also thought that her making herself stay the bad guy parent was actually pretty selfless, and was expecting her to be annoyed when Sue was thanking Mike but cold to her, but…

Not to mention Bloodsport, the Van Dammiest of Van Damme movies.

That flashback to him in the swimming gear and then just flopping into the water like a five year old was fantastic.

Plus the B story of the ribwich is also great.

Is this…GBM?  Uh, yeah, I read in the personals that you were seeking a soulmate. Well, I also like rainy days and movies. Uh-huh…Uh, no, I don't like that… Or that…No, it's not that I'm afraid. I'm going to hang up now, bye-bye.

I think you can say any cameo like that in the golden era are exceptions.  Off the top of m head I'd say you have Walt Frazier, James Brown, James Taylor, Adam West, Mel Brooks, John Unitas, who all had small but great cameos not really needed for plot.

Their clothes are different from my clothes. Look at what they're wearing!

Merkin I think mentions it in the DVD commentary that one of the great things Woods does is keep in all the little vocal tics of regular speech that don't normally get into voice work.

And then, the film "Chaplin"? I had a little cameo in that. I actually traveled in time, back to the twenties, where,,,oh, heh, I've said too much.

I remember enjoying George Plimpton and his hotplate in the spelling bee episode.

Hey, he's not happy at all! He lied to us through song. I hate when people do that!

How can it be the same movie if they've changed my character from a convenience store clerk to a jittery eskimo firefighter?…Uh huh…uh huh…mm hmm…well, actually, that's a pretty good explanation.
