you might be thinking that nothing in this life could be cooler than having gary busey as a father. take a moment to consider that thought. go back and remember the most embarassing thing your father ever did. remember moments you were afraid your dad might do something that could end your social life forever. now imagine your father is gary busey. think about gary busey showing up to your little league games, drunk. and if he’s not drunk, he’s still bat shit crazy. imagine your dad making an ass out of himself on national television on such reality shows as celebrity fit club or i’m with busey . oh, and also you share more than a few chromosomes with him, so the chances of you also going bat shit crazy are pretty derned high.
poor guy.

which member of the vacant lot are you? find out, with this stupid quiz!
| written by asterios on 01/29/07 | leave a comment |
i hate internet quizzes. why do i need a computer to tell me which buffy the vampire slayer “big bad” i am, again? i already know i’m the nerds of doom - i don’t need a machine to tell me how i feel inside.
still, while trying to find a copy of the vacant lot sketch “silent ventriloquist” for bill, one of our overtime readers, i came upon this quiz that’ll determine which member of canadian sketch supergroup “the vacant lot” you are. my favorite question is the last question:
Finally, who is your favourtite member of the Vacant Lot?
Paul Greenberg
Nick McKinney
Rob Gfroerer
Vito Viscomi
that last question completley invalidates the quiz. you might as well be writing quiz entitled “which character from the tv show ‘doug’ are you” go:
Finally, which character from the tv show ‘doug‘ are you?
Doug Funnie
Patty Mayonaise
This Quiz
Was Poorly Written and Concieved
that being said, i have to give props to anyone who’d compose a vacant lot quiz in the first place. so, missdizzy87, author of the vacant lot quiz, great job.
but fix that last question, or there’ll be hell to pay.

mystery science weekend 3000

welcome to the weekend - if you’re anything like us, you’re just itching to not get back to work. here’s some amazing MST3k to help you savor the weekend just a little bit more.
the classic “sandy frank” song. dance, joel, dance.
joel & the bots vs. mr. b natural, a short film about transvestite music teachers. this is the best MST3k short ever made.
mr. b natural, pt 2.
the gang from the satalite of love rips an old industrial short apart. enjoy “hired”.
a 15 second clip from their UHF days on KTMA in MN. tom servo uses the word “fuck”.
the gang trashes “space mutiny 2″
mike nelson and mary jo pehl (mrs. forrester) confronted by an angry sci-fi fan on a canadian talk show. he claims what they do is “bad for sci-fi films”. i claim he’s a moron.
another song from joel and the gang, about love. love & sidehackers.
finally, the old KTMA opening sequence. see if you can spot the subtle differences between it and later openings.

the vacant lot: 90’s sketch comedy that’ll confuse your children

video: ‘customs’ by canadian sketch troupe the vacant lotÂ
immediatley after september 11th, there were no words to describe it. i mean literally, we didn’t know what to call the damn thing. “the attacks on the world trade center and tower II”? “suicide bombings”? “hijacked airliners crashed into buildings day”? only later did we come up with the phrase “9/11″, and the world’s been a better place ever since.
well, that’s exactly how i felt as a kid about this sketch from the vacant lot. i had no words to describe it. it was like nothing i had ever seen on tv before, or anywhere for that matter. they fed a guy toy cars, strung him up, and had latino kids hit him in the stomach with a stick? on tv?
ghostbusters made sense to me, because they were like firefighters but for ghosts. the early death of my grandfather made sense to me, because god was very upset with him. but the vacant lot? not knowing what the hell was going on gave me (and still gives me) a headache. i gotta have control to be happy!
