Gee, I'd like to buy that stereo, would you take ... a dollar?
No, I was thinking more like .. a hundred ninety five DOllars.
Hmmm... how about .. a dollar.
Let's seeeee... maybe I could do something like .. a hundred ninety five DOllars.
OK OK .. how about a dollar?
I see where you're going, I hear what you're saying.. How about .. a hundred ninety five DOllars.

I always loved some of the super surreal bits on this show, like the "Honey, I had the sandwich dream again" one and the entire feaux-noir Sausages skit. Scott as the old man "I like saaaaAAAAAUsages!" lingers in my brain in a hilarious but unpleasant way.

how is it possible that Buddy Cole hasn't (I think) been mentioned yet? my favorite: "noone wants to know I'm gay, and even less people want to know that I'm Canadian."

just the sight of the sausages frying in the pan, the grease splattering.

beautiful.

Every time I go on vacation:
"Number one is off, number two is off, number three is off, number four is off. they're all off. because number one is off, number two is off, number three is off, number four is off. "

I hate the swiss.

has anyone seen scott thompson's special on comedy central? it was strange... amusing in parts, but a lot of it was just bizarre. lots of weird gay/race/sex jokes that weren't exactly funny.

Oh my god that one where Scott Thompson's sweat smells good and they bottle it and Dave Foley-as-the-boss get's all hairy hippie dashiki!

Dave: Hi, uh . . . my name is David Foley, and uh . . . . [pause due to applause] thank you. . .thank you very much. That's very kind of you, very kind of you. Uh . . . I was just wanting to . . . uh , tell you about something that's happened. . . uh, during this week of rehearsals, something we sort of came across, something, well . . . we, sort of, discovered. Um, uh... and certainly nothing we ever expected to do as a comedy troupe, and I'm sure it's nothing you, as a comedy audience, ever expected to hear from a comedy troupe. Ok, here it is... uh, we discovered the cause of cancer. [laughter, applause] I guess, uh, the [stammering] best thing to do is to just bring Bruce out here. Bruce, are you there? Bruce McCulloch, ladies and gentlemen. Bruce McCulloch.
[applause as Bruce wanders out on stage, waving to the audience]

Dave: Bruce has something that he'd like to say to everyone. Go ahead, Bruce.

Bruce: Hi.

Dave: Go on, Bruce.

Bruce: Hi.

Dave: Just do it, Bruce. Come on. [The two of them argue slightly]

Bruce: OK, you asked me. . .

Dave: Well, just do it. . .

Bruce: Fine. I'll do it . . .

Dave: Just go.

Bruce: Dave Foley, ladies and gentlemen.

[applause]

Dave: No, just do it, Bruce. You're wasting a lot of time. Bruce McCulloch would like to say something.

Bruce: I'm sorry I caused all that cancer. [laughter] I didn't realize it was such a hideous disease.

[more laughter. Dave looks bewildered]

Dave: [angry] I suppose you think that makes it, OK? 'I'm sorry I caused all that cancer. . .' you don't even sound like you mean it, Bruce.

Bruce: Dave, you asked me to apologize and that's just what I did.

Dave: I'm sorry. Well, in rehearsal you sounded like you meant it, it sounded like you were actually remorseful about what you had done, but this was pretty, pretty lame, Bruce. I think you should apologize like you really mean it.

Bruce: [hurt] Fine, David. I'm sorry I caused all that throat cancer and all that bowel cancer. I was just on a roll . . .

Dave: . . . and?

Bruce: and I won't do it again.

Dave: Thank you, Bruce.

[applause]

Is it the same character when he gets to work, picks up a paper and reads that he's been kidnapped?

Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 15:33 (twenty years ago) link

This reminds me that a friend and I went as Jerry Sizzler and her sister Jerry Sizzler, not two clearly insane people, for Halloween a few years back.

Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 15:34 (twenty years ago) link

yes, Jordan! he's also the character that gets sent to a weekend retreat where repressed businessmen get to act out their animal spirits. "papa papa papa, dada dada dada, I AM ANIMAL!"

Al (sitcom), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 15:38 (twenty years ago) link

anyone remember the one (not sure which two are in it, maybe kevin and bruce) where two guys are living in this pigsty of an apartment and they're "playing this game" of throwing empty beer bottles and smashing them all over the place? the neighbors are screaming at them and stuff. i seem to remember laughing a lot at this sketch but only seeing it once and i can't really remember it.

i also really like the sketch where kevin is a high-school boy about to get lucky with mike as a young lass with a mouth-full of braces - only kevin gets freaked out by all the imagery in the bedroom - the picture of dad with a shotgun, jesus on the wall, a menacing dog in the corner of the room, etc, not to mention a terrible storm outside. it's all enough to make an anxious kevin pass out and then he wakes to mike screaming and the dog humping him. good family fun that one.

that makes me think of the old yeller skit, which recurs throughout one of the episodes: "what's wrong?" "it's old yeller; he's rabid."

- "Brace yourself....you've been sleeping for.....twenty minutes"


- Dave:
"What's the point of what we do?"
Kevin:
"Sorry, I don't follow you."
Dave:
"Well, I mean we travel 250,000 light years across the universe, abduct humans, probe them anally, and release them."
Kevin:
"Yeah? And?"
Dave:
"Well, doesn't it seem kind of pointless?"
Kevin:
"I really don't think about it."
Dave:
"Well, don't you think you should?"
Kevin:
"No, I don't think I should. I don't think I should question the leadership of our Great Leader."
Dave:
"Oh, come on. I mean, we've been coming here for 50 years and performing anal probes and all that we have learned is that 1 in 10 doesn't really seem to mind."

Anyone remember the one where Mark is in an office, and he goes up to Kevin and says there's something on his shirt, Kevin looks and Mark taps Kevin's chin, "Made you look", and a couple guys sorta smile at it. But Kevin starts to get paranoid and remembers the incident as Mark smacking him upside the head and everyone pointing at him and laughing, and kills Mark with a shotgun?

bad description, but that one was hilarious.

Dave: "OH! I am SOOOOOOOO happy to meet you!"
Kevin: "Why are you talking to me like that? There's no need for sarcasm."
Dave: "Sarcasm? This is just the way that I TALK when I've met someone as INTELLIGENT as you. It's a VERY RARE symptom that I suffer from."
...
Dave: "Wait! Where are you GOING? I wanted to be YOUR FRIEND!"

I'm paraphrasing, but it's still a great skit.

The bit in which Bruce is having an affair with Darryl's wife, i.e. The Affair.

"What did my mother always used to say? Don't pour salt in your eye. Don't pour salt in your eye. Don't pour salt in your eye. Don't pour salt in your eye. Pour salt in your eye."

what about the one where dave foley runs around doing inappropriate things to people when no one else is looking? like he punches a guy and does all sorts of horrible stuff when backs are turned, but somehow it all winds up leading to a positive outcome - when the victim is doubled over in pain he finds a $20, etc.

lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 18:45 (twenty years ago) link

when Dave and Bruce(?) are visiting the old woman and when she's not looking they beat up her appliances.

the one where Bruce tells his son Scott a bedtime story and the son thinks he's making it up and later the mom says "so if you weren't on a picnic with the bears last friday where were you?"

and for christsakes-

Daddy drank-

How many girls called you today son? Zero?

How many girls called you yesterday son? Zero?

You know what they say, Zero plus Zero equalls FAGGOT. Add it up, you little mathematician.

Oh remember how you said you wanted a puppy son? Well on my way home from work I bought you a puppy...but then I got hungry so I ate it.

I'm just kidding son, I'd never do that. I'd never buy you a puppy.

I searched the transcripts and couldn't find it, but I love the Foley "I Don't Speak English" skit. I've used this line on incredibly stupid customers.(Only once, but it had the right effect, they shut-up and left.)

Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 21:04 (twenty years ago) link

Too exhausted to read the whole thing, but am I the only one who remembered/liked the "Hands" skit? The one with the two guys in a sauna and one of them has magnificent female breasts and the other guy just won't stop trying to get a hold of them...allstar shit.

I think it was "to Reg" - the ritualistic murder skit.

I also like the one where Bruce is a tough-guy in a bar and he picks a fight with that big burly dude. So they step out into the alley and Bruce proceeds to get pummeled over and over and over and over again. All the while the crowd just kind of makes "ooooh" and "oh" noises before they begin telling Bruce to "stay down".

metfigga (metfigga), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 21:51 (twenty years ago) link

"Gentleman, let's think about this...why would anyone bring their GOD to a DOG show?"

Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 1 April 2004 19:11 (twenty years ago) link

"Okay, you take the good-looking guy, I'll take the reaaaal ugly guy."

(Bruce and Kevin both go for the same guy)

"You think he's good-looking?" "Oh you know, nice smile, honest face."
