Well, the Ape's going to stand around for three hours or so. Then we'll close with the ethnic comedy of Duggan and Dirschwitz.

Can't find the 2013 version, but just do a search for "drop kick" in this pdf http://static.nfl.com/stati…

It's legal and is still in the NFL rule books, just no one does it.

Yeah, it was a drop kick which before that Flutie one hadn't even been done in the NFL since the 40's.

Still less crazy than the Cannonball Loop at the long closed Action Park in NJ..

He was also just on Kroll Show last week.

Great to see Marc Evan Jackson (Sparks Nevada of Thrilling Adventure Hour) as the astronomy professor, and man he sure has been popping up in these side roles on good shows an awful lot lately.

He also brought back the medieval hangman from Blazing Saddles. I do like Men in Tights (I think like Spaceballs you just had to have been of the right age when it came out) but he definitely was reusing old gags. That said, Richard Lewis is great in it.

See also: Black Dynamite.

If it only had "The Spanish Inquisition" dayenu.

It says so much about Brooks that after making a black and white film he was insistent on following it up with a movie that was silent (well, except for the mime of course).

You are the audience! I am the author! I OUTRANK you!

'UTTIN' ON THE 'IIIIITZ.!!!

I assume "The Producers" is not part of this since it is in a class all on it;s own?

It really does, and is pretty much the first workplace sitcom,and one that poked good matured fun at army service. in the 50's. I had hoped that back when those "A Very Special Episode" columns were being done they;d cover it.

The way they all nonchalantly respond to that line with things like "Oh, that makes sense" and "i see" is great.

Even better is right before that with Ralph running away in fear at Bart's reading of "Now is the winter of our discontent.".

Moe in talking about his youth as a member of the Little Rascals says "William Faulkner can write an exhaust pipe gag that would really make you think".

He probably just thought women and seamen don't mixl.

The first joke of the episode was one that probably flew over the heads of many people, and only years later did I get the mistaken placement of "Manboy"..
