“This contains what is widely known as doubtful humor.” --John Held, Jr.
You left out the best part: Zelda turns out to be a lesbian and manages to convert Thalia with very little effort.
…and very little audience.
The episode of The Beverly Hillbillies in which the Clampetts discover that a nearby swamp contains lots of little game birds. They tell everyone about the “marsh hens” they saw, and hilarity ensues.
First the Grunions are invading; now it’s the Marsh Hens… :smack:
Art should imitate life.
Whatever…:rolleyes:
“I am not a crook.” --Richard Nixon
“That’s not funny, that’s sick!” --National Lampoon
And, sure, he [Brutus] is an honorable man." --Marc Anthony
‘Big Pussy’ goes public to protect himself from the wrath of the mob, runs for President of the US, and wins!
“The band broke up because I couldn’t bear Rotten anymore because he was an embarrassment with his silly hats and his, like, shabby, dirty, nasty looking appearance.” --Sid Vicious
The episode where Col Klink gets tired of Hogan’s shenanigans and turns him over to an SS interrogation squad.
Yes, but were they *lovable *Nazis? :dubious:
The lost episode of pretty much any family sitcom with somebody who is college age: the epsiode with the child at a non-local university. One show where they did send somebody off to college: Kate & Allie (Kate’s daughter Emma went off to UCLA - because Ari Meyers left the show when she got accepted into Yale.)
Quite a few shows find creative ways to have smart kinds end up going to local junior colleges so they can still live at home; for example, on ALF, they had to spend the daughter’s college fund on feeding and hiding ALF.
Well, what do you want–a sitcom or a documentary?
Eve on Last Man Standing is going off to the Air Force Academy which is a good hours drive from home.
Thomas the Tank Engine. Thomas discovers that the island of Sodor was occupied by the Nazis during World War Two. Thomas was built during this time and his name is actually Albrecht. During his youth he carried ammunition to anti-aircraft batteries named Hans and Wilhelm. Thomas had buried these memories, but when they are innocently revealed to him by Toby, Thomas is so forlorn that he loses his steam and falls into a state of locomotive depression.
Final closing scene, camera focussed on The Fat Controller’s wooden face: “Yes Thomas. You were once a little too useful.”
Scooby Doo, Where Are You? The gang immediately suspects the ghost is someone running around in a costume.
The episode of The A-Team where B.A. Baracus brutally beat someone who pissed him off, thus justifying the fearsome reputation we otherwise never see any reason for.
(Or did Robot Chicken actually do that one?)
