In 1993, Mystery Science Theater 3000's annual Turkey Day Marathon bumpers were filmed at the Edina, MN home of fan Debbie Tobin, a MSTie who at that time posted regularly on the then Prodigy MST3K bulletin board, and who had done a bit of clerical work at Best Brains Inc. As the story goes, Comedy Central had caterers prepare a beautiful turkey dinner where, unfortunately, the crew spent so much time filming the spread that it spoiled under the hot lights and very little of it could be eaten by the party-goers. These spots and bumpers are culled together from my personal VHS collection of Debbie's party, and also featuring spots highlighting the "Pick The Wisecrack" winner Susan Schneider of Jackson, NJ.
Compilation of the commercial breaks that aired during the original broadcast of The Ewok Adventure in 1984, right around the holidays.
In 1985 my father recorded 6 Christmas specials that aired on CBS 2 in New York. At the time he had no idea you could press pause on a VCR during the commercial breaks so the full broadcasts were recorded. This is something I'm grateful for all these years later. Every Christmas season I watch these old recordings and it fuels my childhood nostalgia. I compiled the commercials for the pleasure of my fellow nostalgia buffs. As seen from most of the bumpers the Christmas specials aired were: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Frosty the Snowman 'Twas the Night Before Christmas A Charlie Brown Christmas How The Grinch Stole Christmas The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus
How Saturday Night Fever was such a success and this wasn't will BAFFLE film scholars for generations to come.
Obviously there were theaters in the late 60's/early 70's that were presuming all their customers were tripping on acid.
The Revenge Society auditions new applicants with one terrifyingly mysterious applicant. From The Venture Bros.

The wise and compassionate are always taken from this world too soon. While the rest are allowed to keep walking and ruining the ride for the rest of us.
A two part compilation of Joe Besser's appearances as as Oswald "Stinky" Davis. A bratty, loudmouthed "child" dressed in an oversized Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit. Stinky appeared only in the first season of the show as Lou Costello's friendly nemesis. Where as Lou was always innocently childlike at times, Stinky was supposed to be an actual bratty child despite being played by a 40 year old actor (a practice not seen on US television since Johnathan Winters played "Mork and Mindy"'s Orkan son Mearth, and still seen in Spanish comedy shows). The two would sometimes start friendly or immediately at odds and end up slapping and pinching each other with Lou usually looking worse for the wear.
Happy Halloween! A gang of Muppet monsters performs a song from the Broadway musical "The Pajama Game".
Bruce McCulloch delivers a monologue about what the neighboring country of America means to him. Very stirring.
A small compilation of 4 sketches written by Scott Thompson for my friends on Pride Day.
Bill Cosby describes being a father and the frustrations of parenthood. Pieced together from his classic stand up concert film "Bill Cosby: Himsef". NOTE: I DO NOT OWN THE MATERIAL SHOWN HERE IN THIS FOOTAGE. I HAVE PUT IT UP AS A FAN AND TO SHARE FOR FATHER'S DAY.

A two part compilation of Joe Kirk's appearances as Mr. Bacciagalupe (BAH-chə-gah-LOOP), the highly excitable Italian neighbor of Bud and Lou from the first season of their show. Kirk was Lou Costello's real life brother-in-law and first created the character for their radio show and appeared in many of the duo's films. Later he brought Mr. Bacciagalupe to the two seasons of their TV show where he held a variety of jobs as a barber, grocer, fruit vendor, ice cream vendor, peanut vendor, bakery owner, and music store salesman as the plots required. He would either get one over on Bud and Lou, or wind up manically frustrated by Lou.

Bud and Lou's "Mudders and Fodders" routine as performed in the first season episode "Vegas" of their TV show. Lou gets confused by horse racing terminology. He mistakes a horse who can run well in the mud (a mudder) as 'mother' and the food that is fed to a horse (its fodder) as 'father', and Bud tries vainly to explain it to him. With cast member Hilary Brooke.

From what I recall, this was recorded from a showing of The Muppet Movie on NY's Ch. 5 in 1985, clearly sometime right before the holidays. For years this was the only copy of The Muppet Movie I owned as a kid, which is why I held on to it for so long.

Maybe if they played up the sex angle more like in this commercial from 1986, Hostess wouldn't be going out of business. Starring Nancy Travis.
It's storming here in NJ and NY. This Muppet Show segment came to mind.
The Muppets are owned by The Walt Disney Company
Part 4 of The Three Stooges VCR Game
If I get enough curious watchers and Stooge fans who want to know how the game was played, I'll explain the game play as best as I can recall. Otherwise, enjoy the 4 Youtube videos.
Pressman Games-1986. Original runtime 57 mins 33 sec.
I do not own the footage used in this game, I'm simply a Stooge fan wanting to share this rarity with other Stooge fans. Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk!

Was doing some VHS archiving and found this recording. Sometime in the late-ish 90's my friend Corby was on a VH1 game show called "My Generation". This is a slightly edited version of the episode he was in. I didn't want to post the whole episode since it does get kind of tedious.
Yet another group of commercials I found on an old recording of "The Muppets Take Manhattan" from CBS 2 in 1986. Decided to post since the NY Football Giants are playing in the Bowl again tomorrow.
This is more or less a response to the recent Fox "News" report about the new Muppet film having a liberal agenda to teach kids to hate big business and oil companies. It's still too funny to take seriously.
Bear in mind I actually ENJOY Christmas, but this little ditty from the legendary Python and his musical collaborator John Du Prez is pretty funny
A comparison of a former rock god from his latest special.

This is dedicated to a good friend on the Left Coast who refuses to believe in the magic of coastal water in making pizza dough.
Sam the Eagle reads us the Aesop fable. I like the moral in this version more than the actual story.
Eskimo pigs (and one Eskimo chicken) sing the classic song from Gold Diggers of 1935 and 42nd Street. Yet another fine example of Muppet absurdity.
Wayne, Uncle Deadly, & Miss Piggy act in olde timey melodramas, with negative results for the pig.
Just a typical little Muppet segment. Music, strangeness, and a character gets devoured.
A vaudeville song popularized in 1907 by star Helen Trix. If only more fibbing women wore toppers like this one.
A wonderfully surreal Muppet sketch with speleothems where one complains of a toothache while the rest of the echo him.
Crazy Harry & some soldiers participate in a bout of target practice that goes wrong in the typical Muppet fashion. Set to the music of the classic R&B standard.
Muppet Monsters and Whatnot neer-do-wells sing the tune from the Broadway comedy "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum."
A typically inventive Muppets sketch. Originally done in 1967 for the show "Our Place" and then later during the first season of The Muppet Show (which is this version here).
Some selected Muppet Labs segments from the second and third seasons of The Muppet Show.
Peter Sellers & a Muppet Salvation Army sing of the temptations of life. No not the Motown group!
Sweedish Chef sketches from his first appearance in "The Muppet Show:Sex and Violence" pilot, into the first season of The Muppet Show (1 of 4).
A crazed "Screaming Thing" performs the normally calm song from The Thomas Crown Affair.
Accompanied by Rowlf on the Piano, Gonzo plays "Flight of the Bumbleebee". Until Animal interrupts.
A folksy ditty performed by Muppet Jim Henson, Jerry Nelson, and Frank Oz.. "The Country Trio".
Miss Piggy & Link one up each other while "singing" a classic opera number. Much to Sam's chagrin.
A classic Muppet musical number originally done during variety show appearances. This version is from the 1st season of The Muppet Show
This is one of Abbot & Costello's lesser known, yet just as hilarious routines, the classic Bagel Street scene—itself adapted from the popular vaudeville routine Slowly I Turned—during which Abbott and Costello attempt to deliver straw hats to the Susquehanna Hat Company, but everyone they meet along the way has a reason for hating that company and each of them destroys a hat until there are none left. This is the version from their film "In Society", and there was a later version done for their television show.
