![]() Now I finally understand that “the geek’s mouthwash” tagline from that sketch last season where Tim played Ozzy Osbourne advertising a mouthwash for fellow bat head-biters like himself. Hmm, judging from Harry’s definition of “geek” (a circus freak who bites heads off of animals), that word had a VERY different meaning back then than it would later on. Nice opening trick with him turning a paper into a cigarette in a quick flash. Harry Anderson shoves a hat pin through his forearm Tonight’s Whiners sketch, on the other hand, had too little to work with. Overall, this pales badly in comparison to the last Whiners sketch from the Danny DeVito episode, which at least had enough funny stuff from the various non-Whiners characters in the sketch to make it more tolerable than usual. Another funny comment from Ron saying “They don’t allow babies in Puerto Rico”. Okay, just now, I did like Ron’s “Alright, alright, just SHUT UP!” outburst. I’m now a minute into this sketch and nothing in it has made me laugh at all so far. Ohh, god, here comes this season’s first appearance of the Whiners, easily my least favorite recurring sketch of this whole era (so far). Is tonight’s episode using leftover cut bits from season 7?ĭoug & Wendy Whiner visit a doctor (host) to see about having a baby If this IS indeed Mel Brandt, what’s up with that? I thought he was no longer employed with the show this season. What the–? Is that season 7 SNL announcer Mel Brandt doing the voice-over at the end? I also couldn’t tell earlier if that was him or not as the voice-over in tonight’s cold opening disclaimer gag. Tonight’s sketch is doing nothing for me. Eh, I’m tired of these “Velvet Jones advertises a new book of his” sketches they peaked too early with the classic first installment (“I Wanna Be a Ho”) and none of the subsequent installments have measured up. So much for Velvet Jones’ “retirement”, which he and fellow “overexposed” recurring character Paulie Herman announced in the Robert Conrad episode last season. Velvet Jones romance novels, including Kicked In The Butt By Love Overall, I really enjoyed this Andy Griffith Show take-off. Funny blooper with Ron mistakenly referring to Eddie’s Floyd as “Otis”, and then after being corrected, he saves himself with a great ad-lib (“I told ya I couldn’t recognize ya!”). Nice pre-taped guest appearance from Andy Griffith. The cast is doing fun impressions of the Andy Griffith Show characters I especially like Brad’s Gomer voice. Hmm, turns out Eddie’s Floyd isn’t quite as good as other “white impressions” that he has nailed, but I’m still liking his performance here. Ha, Eddie does yet another impression of a white celebrity/character. I like the details on the trashy current state of Mayberry 1982. ![]() (last screencap above)Īdult Opie Taylor (host) returns to seedy Mayberry Andy Griffith cameo Judging from the shot of the crowd during that part, it looks like they were even about to give him a standing ovation before the camera cut away from them. Wow, huge audience reaction to him drinking a beer. His choice of “bad words” are pretty funny. Love this premise with Ron eager to say and do things he was never allowed to do in prime-time. Knowing that it would soon become a regular thing in this era for hosts to make their monologue entrance through the door on the right side of this home base stage, it feels weird seeing Ron Howard randomly make his entrance through the left side, which doesn’t even have a door or anything. What the hell? THAT’S the joke? Placing your TV set on your lap? Man, even the season 7 disclaimer openings were funnier than this.īeing on SNL makes host feel liberated- he says bad words & drinks a Bud Oh, so we’re back to doing those brief “disclaimer gag” cold openings that were rampant in the first half of season 7?
