Friday evening surrealistic contagiousness.

All I can say is: Watch the whole thing.



Via Throwing Things.

IN THE COMMENTS: There have been some great comments on the blog today, like this one from Paul Zrimsek:
And the sour-faced machete guy (Josh Lowder) just glared at everyone a moment, then threw his things (Ken DeLozier's head, Ben Peck's right foot, Katie Adkins' left breast) down on the ground and left. And while everyone was just blinking, the little girl (Morgan Burch) primly picked up the robot toy (Smarf) she'd selected and walked up to the register and asked, "Can I get this, please?"

I don't get it.

@Truly

You posted 10 minutes after I put it up. It's an 11-minute video...

Truly horrible quality video.

As for the production itself, it is quite a bit worse than "Wisconsin Death Trip."

On a ten point scale, I give it a 1.

I like that show, but I always Tevo it and skip the credits.

Damn it, Pie was only two days away from retirement! Mendozaaaaaaah!

That was awesome. I felt like I watched every 80s TV show again.

I don't get it. I assume the trouble is no TV.

There's a country gospel group The Singing Cookes.

I laughed like hell. Is there something wrong with me?

Insane! Too many! Too many!

Sorry....I couldn't get past the actor introductions. I'm pretty sure that there is no reward to watching the video.

I'm not sure where this blog is going. You post links that don't past the sniff test, and then links that shouldn't be sniffed!

Boy, what a humorless bunch. "Sorry....I couldn't get past the actor introductions." Then you missed the entire joke.
That was hilarious.

I liked it.

But, on a pedantic note, I would like to point out that tall, athletic young women should be able to easily outrun short, overweight old men.

Neat send up of network prime-time filler sit-com TV (when there's no there, there in terms of writing or other talent) that attempts to build audience by inserting characters that target demographic groups can identify with.

I thought the "close captioning" symbol in the corner was a nice touch.

Otherwise, I bailed around the 4-minute mark.

It tells you something when the "send up" is just as boring as what is being "sent up."
