I’m usually very well behaved in movie theaters, but at the end of Crap Prequel #3 (I’ve long since forgotten the title) when Darth stands up, shakes his fist in the air, and yells “Nooooooooooo” I freaking _lost it_. I was laughing so hard, it made me sick.

That’s referring to a particular guy, [Frank Nelson](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0625372/), a wonderful character actor. You may have seen him in such shows as _I Love Lucy_, _Sanford and Son_ or _The Jack Benny Program_.

Yesss.

Just the other day I saw the episode where Homer asks, “Why do you talk like that?” and gets the reply: “I had a stroo-ooke!”

Love it.
