I stand corrected. Still a great joke on your part.

Well played, sir.
Reminds me of an old Dennis Miller joke from Weekend Update…
"This week's Billboard chart…
At number one…Better than Ezra.
At number two…Ezra!"

I misrepresented his accent a bit. His "ah" usually tended to follow a word ending in "s". If you go to the link and wait a bit for Fu to show up, you'll get the full effect. It's almost a parody of a Chinese accent.

Republic Pictures thought that serial in the 40s was successful enough, and filmed a short-lived syndicated series in 1956, in which Fu Manchu was played by Glen Gordon. Gordon did his role with the WORST fake Chinese accent ever…"I plan-ah to take-ah over the word, Doctah…" It lasted a whole 13 episodes.
There are…

MST3K is more like a long-form version of those Beavis and Butthead segments where they'd comment on music videos, except these are full length movies and the comments are more like Dennis Miller's nonstop obscure pop-culture references.
TL;DR—it's not exactly science geeky stuff.

They were just as hard on their competitor, the WB…
Bart: Hey Dad, let's see what's on that new Warner Brothers network…
Frog mascot (singing): Coming up next on the WB, Another great show that nobody will see…

His business failures might imply that he lacks the lobes that any self-respecting Ferengi, much less THE Grand Nagus, would possess.

That was the thing I always liked about Steely Dan. After the first two albums, it became less of a band and simply Becker, Fagen, and whatever sidemen happened to be around. Because of that, the musical chemistry always remained fairly stable.

Going back much further, "Golden Country" by REO Speedwagon.

There is something to that theory. When Jesse Ventura won the election for Governor of Minnesota, exit polling found that a good percentage of his voters were young adults who grew up watching him wrestle on TV.

I'd go for Dwayne Johnson playing Gaston ala his wrestling persona "The Rock"….
"IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL WHAT GASTON IS COOKIN'
No………..one………..cooks like Gaston
No one looks like Gaston
When out fishing, nobody hooks like Gaston…"

Let me drop this on you…is it possible that "South Park" is an eerily prescient look at the childhood of Donald Trump in the person of Eric Cartman? (Notwithstanding the fact that Trump grew up in NYC, not the Rocky Mountains…)

The cinnamon has to be used just sparingly enough to sense the heat, not enough where it tastes like a Red Hot candy.

My go-to descriptions are either The Annoying Orange or the Giant Peach.

Don't forget "Tail Gunner Joe" McCarthy.

For me, it's probably a tie between Atticus Finch and Scout from To Kill A Mockingbird, or Lucas and Mark McCain on The Rifleman. (Yeah, I'm old…) There are indeed echoes of the latter with the Benjamin and Jake Sisko relationship on DS9, leaving to think that if ST:TOS was "Wagon Train in space", then DS9 was "The…

Truth.

You left out a major subplot in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, where your social status was determined in part by what fast food restaurant you worked at, and Judge Reinhold's character slipped lower and lower down the ladder until he wound up working at a convenience store.

Antenna TV (one of those digital sidechannels) reruns Three's Company into the ground.

There was that attempt to turn Bonnie Tyler into Meat Loaf in a dress (see: "Total Eclipse of the Heart").
