The Baby, the Immigrant, and the Guy on Mushrooms.

Nothing has ever come close to those 2 episodes.

Ohhh

I'm a little sketchy on the details, but this one involved a bird wanting to buy a gun (for reasons revealed at the end), but doesn't have enough money so he buys acorns and sells them to a squirrel for more cash. Somewhere in there the bird also buys some beer and guzzles it. If anyone can fill me in on the details (or memory errors) that would be great.

He puts acorns in a stump for the squirrel, and then the squirrrel pays him. And he buys wiskey, and then at the end a gun, and in the end I cry. Ah yes, that's what it was. Thanks for the info! And yes, that's a dark short.

That one was called the Maakies.

Makkies is also an adult comic and is very popular in the underground industry. Most of their shorts can be found online or the Spike and Mike DVD collections.

They even have some action figures of some of the characters. I have Monkey's Uncle and Drinky Crow. :evil:

"The Baby, the Immigrant, and the Guy on Mushrooms."

That was on the show TV Funhouse that was from the creator of that, Robert Smigel, who's also the creator of Triumph. To my knowledge, that short has never aired on SNL.

Anyway, my favorite TV Funhouse shorts are:

AGD Safety Tips.

Jesus dancing to "A Charlie Brown Christmas."

The Harlem Globetrotters save Christmas.

Mine is the Mr. T one where he is looking for a job with the SAG strike happening.

"That one was called the Maakies."

That was lame.

"Office Space" was funnier.

Too bad the audience was very quiet when that aired.

- the "Speed Racer" parody with George Clooney
- any Mr. T short
- just about any Ambiguously Gay Duo short

I liked the "New Adventures of Mr. T" series (especially when he tries out for "A Doll's House"), but the only other non-recurring-series cartoon that I can say I liked was that "Bambi 2000" sketch. With David Spade as the voice of Thumper! "Ooh, Thumper's exiting stage left!" :D

Some of the "X-Presidents" sketches were good, especially where they had to destroy - gasp - the evil independents! But there were some really bad ones, especially when the Ambiguously Gay Duo showed up to how down terrorists.

I think that the Gay Duo sketches aren't very good to begin with. They're just a bunch of sex jokes. The Onion does a much better job with those types of jokes...

P.S. you know, I almost forgot about that George Clooney/Speed Race parody. That was a good one too. Thanks for the reminder!

"but the only other non-recurring-series cartoon that I can say I liked was that "Bambi 2000" sketch. With David Spade as the voice of Thumper! "Ooh, Thumper's exiting stage left!"

That was another classic.

"Some of the "X-Presidents" sketches were good, especially where they had to destroy - gasp - the evil independents! But there were some really bad ones, especially when the Ambiguously Gay Duo showed up to how down terrorists."

The last one was the best with the Spongebob cameo and this:

"I was never elected."

George W.: "Don't worry, neither was I."

"I think that the Gay Duo sketches aren't very good to begin with. They're just a bunch of sex jokes."

They rule.

An underrrated AGD was the one with Jack Welch.

I completely forgot about the Fun With Audio cartoons! My favorites are:
-The cast of Friends casually talks in the coffee shop while the apocalypse occurs behind them. "There IS no more! There IS no more!!!"
-Ros Perot dropping through multiple floors and donning new identities.
-Mr. T was pretty good, too. "Shut up, foo! I need work!"

I also forgot about the Mike Judge Office Space shorts- not terribly funny, but interesting to see where the classic movie started.

As for AGD... well, they're mostly all the same, but I also probably like the safety tips one the best.

"I completely forgot about the Fun With Audio cartoons!"

That's Fun with Real Audio. Yeah, most of those are funny. Particularly the Clinton ones. I saw one today with Barbara Walters that was hysterical with her vibrator.

"-Ros Perot dropping through multiple floors and donning new identities."

I believe that was David Brenner instead.

"Go George Clooney! Go Geroge Clooney! GO-O-O-O-O!" 'Nuff said.

I have to admit, that Middle Eastern kid's TV was a laugh riot. "Sadda-a-a-am!" Heh....

What is your favorite SNL toon?

Mine are:
-The one where the Snowman from Rudolph gets depressed
-The recent toon that showed Middle East Childrens Television
-Titey, a disney cartoon about the Titanic
-When the Ambigously Gay Duo met the X-Presidents
-When they showed the cycle of popular SNL characters, and how SNL characters become popular.

Flashback! I had forgotten about Titey. I remember laughing hysterically at that one because it completely sent up Disney's watering down of serious stories. And if I'm not mistaken, didn't Whoopi Goldberg do the voice of Titey?

I saw the Jesus/Peanuts Real Audio on Comedy Central tonight which was great with Christmas just around the corner. The Globetrotters was another good Christmas toon.

I always like the Real Audio skits and the Ambiguosly Gay Duo.

My favorite SNL/TV Funhouse cartoons are:

-The Ex-Presidents where they fight the Constitution and the one where Bill Clinton tries to join them (the one with the chad monster)

-The Ambiguously Gay Duo (I don't care if it's nothing but sex jokes. That's the lowest form of humor I like. The highest would be satire and dark comedy)

-When they showed the cycle of popular SNL characters, and how SNL characters become popular.

-The Disney-fied Titanic one

-The Harlem Globetrotters one where they face off against Jesus, Mary, Joseph, a wise man, and a sheperd (one of my friends thought that it was a real episode of The Harlem Globetrotters back when it was a cartoon in the 1970's)

-The Fun with Real Audio where Jesus makes Kathy Lee Gifford disappear and he watches the part on the Charlie Brown Christmas special where Linus tells the story of Christ's birth.

-The one with Spongebob Squarepants, a clip from Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips, and the Powerpuff Girls getting beaten up. Was that Fun With Real Audio or something else?

Ex-Presidents.

I believe that was David Brenner instead. You're probably right, but there was another one with Ros Perot, talking with Larry King about the economy. I forgot what went on, though...

Corrado

"but there was another one with Ros Perot, talking with Larry King about the economy. I forgot what went on, t."

Basically, them talking in different places. Among them looking under women's dresses at a resturant, and cutting the heads of chickens.

Flashback! I had forgotten about Titey. I remember laughing hysterically at that one because it completely sent up Disney's watering down of serious stories. And if I'm not mistaken, didn't Whoopi Goldberg do the voice of Titey?

Whoopi Goldberg was the voice of the iceberg (as previously mentioned), and Jason Alexander (of Bob Patterson fame) was the voice of Titey. I liked that short. I also really liked the most recent "Fun With Audio" short, with Bush in different costumes trying to fit in with what he was talking about (something about our President as a tree is unusually funny). And when I first saw the toon about the depressed Snowman )from "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer), as funny and fitting for the times. Another great too was the parody of the Charlie Brown Christmas special, where all the kids do is wave their arms around and make garbage into something better, and how they eventually overuse this power. The best line is when Charlie Brown says, "Good bye lesbians." as they change the, ahem, adult Marcie and Peppermint Patty back into children.

The AGD are OK, but I hated the X-Presidents and Maakies. I can vaguely remember something about Office Space.

Does anybody here remember the Go Lords? Do they count?

Corrado

12-15-2003, 06:18 PM

"and Jason Alexander (of Bob Patterson fame)."

Far better known as George on "Seinfeld."

"Does anybody here remember the Go Lords? Do they count?"

No. The first one was funny, the rest weren't.

The ones where they spoof Disney are a scream, there was that Titey one, the "Ray of Light" one starring Ray Lewis, and the Bambi 2000 bit. Somehow those Disney spoofs don't seem that far from reality...
The best Ex-Presidents bits were that one with SpongeBob and the Powerpuffs, one during the Bush inageration when the uncounted votes attacked and Bill Clinton joined the team, and the one where the AGD made a cameo apperance when they went after Bin Laden.
The AGD are pretty sick sometimes, especially in that sketch when they were at the NBA Finals. But they can be funny, especially when that Bighead villain is so obssessed with proving that they're gay.
Miscellanious favorites are the Charlie Brown spoof last year, the Saddam and Osama sketch, the one after 9/11 when the traditional snowman Christmas narrator kept complaining about the world instead of narrating, the spoof of those Vegetable Bible cartoons, and the Mr T bits. Also, these was a bit called "Anatominals" that had Yogi Bear esq characters with genitalia that wasn't that funny, but the end part with Lorne Michaels cutting off his deal with the Devil because of the bad bit was hilarious[also, Robert Smigal does do a great Lorne Michaels impression]
My favorite Real Audio bit was that one where Jesus sees all the disgusting Christmas and evanglist specials in His name, and then He winds up doing the Charlie Brown dance after seeing Linus's famous speech.

The one with Bush making addresses and changing his costume each time.

The ex-Presidents kidnap Spongebob and the PPG come to save him (and with the help of editing in that world, they come across as terrorists)

The Ambiguously Gay Duo

Ray of Light ("Uh..I didn't see nothin'!" *drives away*)

The ex-Presidents allow Clinton to join the team (his costume, though...)

Corrado

12-17-2003, 01:52 PM

Another funny one:

Saddam and Osama, with all those commercials in the middle.

I may be on the minority here, but I thought "The Smurfette Show" was hilarious.

Corrado

12-17-2003, 08:19 PM

"I may be on the minority here, but I thought "The Smurfette Show" was hilarious."

Yeah, that was hilarious.

Jim Cummings was the voice of Papa Smurf in that one, I believe.

My favorite has got to be the Fun with Real Audio episode where Tom Synder (formerly of the Late Late Show) interviews Dolly Parton and he turn out to be a stalker. I still crack up when I see his "shrine".

Also I really used to like the Tippy Turtle episodes on SNL in the 80s. They were about a degenerate drunken turtle living in the projects but aproached him as if he was a Mister Roger's type character.

Tipsy Turtle OWNED!!!!!

Too bad I haven't seen that in years, because Comedy Central never shows SNl's from 1980-1989.

Corrado

I saw "Saddam and Osama" Again today, and it keeps getting funnier every time I see it, same with the "Ex-Presidents" skit from last year.

They should release all of the "TV Funhouse" cartoons on DVD. And for that matter, they should also release that "TV Funhouse" show on DVD, too.

Lots of funny stuff.

Go Judge Clunie Go!

And those recorded interviews/talkshows

I think my favorite one was the one with the Charlie Brown Christmas. And from another one, seeing Jesus doing the dance was funny. And I think on the Saddam/osama one, there was a Batman commercial that I think I enjoyed, but I can't really remember it.
There should be a site where you can download the shorts.

Corrado

12-20-2003, 10:23 PM

"And I think on the Saddam/osama one, there was a Batman commercial that I think I enjoyed, but I can't really remember it."

That bit OWNED!! It was basically footage from those Filmation Batmans it was Batman fighting the Joker, The Penguin, and The Riddler. Except since it was on Iraqi TV, the gag was Batman fighting "Jews". Another funny commercial was "Rocks".

Probably the best part of "Saddam and Osama" was the making fun of the TV Funhouse credits at the end, with Sean Penn the only English writer. Heh.
