Just looked it up—it's not on YouTube, but you can watch the first 15 or so minutes there (the show was 90 min. total) as well as a handful of clips, including the ending. There's also a fairly detailed Wikipedia entry. Knowing it's fake, you can spot a lot of contrivances, including some pretty bad acting from the

Will this show also have enormous breasts?

If I was in charge of casting, Rob Riggle would play the Thing.

Fat guys wearing skimpy, revealing or otherwise ridiculous costumes have been a staple of comedy for pretty much all time, and people laugh because they find it funny, not erotic. Believe it or not, it's possible to enjoy the work of an actor or comedian—male or female—without wanting to bang them. Would we be having

Yes! I was going to suggest the Grither, but was kind of hoping to save that one in case there was a "Christmas Episode" roundtable coming up.

Did she have to kiss Charles Grodin in that?

Slough Avenue!

I was too scared to click on that "possessed clowns" link.

I think the problem is that Rock's script-choosing (or -writing) tastes exceed his acting ability. If he wanted to crank out formulaic comedies where he basically re-hashed his stand-up act, he'd appear to be a better actor, but the movies themselves would be worse.

I love how they leave it up to your imagination until the very end, though. The first time I saw it, when Pupkin goes into his studio to record his "act" for Jerry's people, I was terrified that he didn't have any jokes, and was just going to turn in a fifteen-minute tape of himself talking about himself and

I always figured my dad was a Harold, but the more I think about it, he's probably more of a Coach Fredericks.

The most "controversial" episode of Ren and Stimpy was probably "Man's Best Friend," where Ren nearly beats his owner to death with an oar. It's the one that got John K. fired and caused Nickelodeon to take over production of the series.

Ken Marino is 44 years old, and this review calls him a "sleazy YOUNG competitor." That is all.

I was too young to watch the show at the time, but I remember the MAD Magazine parody (one of them, they spoofed "Cheers" twice; once with the original cast and then again in the Rebecca/Woody years) made fun of that trope, with Johnny Carson stopping by the bar for some flimsy reason and everyone making a big deal

I had a bowl of store-brand (Giant Eagle!) bran flakes, with fresh blueberries. Also a glass of iced coffee.

Sniping Private Ryan

Yeah dude! Looks like you've got some fan-fiction to start writing!

I think an interesting angle for a reboot would be to do it with a woman or an ethnic minority as the leaper. So instead of having a white male experiencing (and improving) the lives of people who were historically less-privileged, you could show things from a different perspective.

Hey do you guys think Ben Stiller had plastic surgery
