A 4-1/2 minute build-up for a five-second punchline. Still one of my favorite moments of the show, and probably the best thing Mike did during his time on the show.

I think my userpic sums it up.

That was pretty brilliant. I noticed on the same page, a link to the wonderful SCTV parody.

Awesome. I somehow managed to not see that one when the show was on the air...thanks for posting it.

I remember when it aired. To say that the reaction on the newsgroups was ... polarized ... would be a gross simplification.

That was ace!

Even watching that thing for four and a half minutes *knowing* the punchline, and waiting for the delivery straight up the middle, I *still* laughed. Fuckin' awesome.
