Saying “Since this is the pit…” and then cursing. Wow. Yippee. Whatever.
JDT references. Humorous a few weeks ago. Not any longer. Thanks.
Alright, there’s two of them. I’m sure I’ll think of more later.

Well, I have to disagree on the JDT thing. That guy’s such a nutbar!
People telling me what I should find humorous. Perhaps the subject should have been “Things that I no longer find humorous.”
And since this is the Pit. . . nope, I don’t find this funny either.
Any humor based on the alleged lameness of 1970s pop-culture is no longer funny.
“Show me the money” was funny a while ago.
That was a while ago.
iampunha: Does that mean you want us to show you the funny?
(Ducks and runs before the rotten vegetables are thrown)
“You show us the funny, we’ll show you the money”
Akkkk!!!
Dave Coulier flash back!
Monster104 you bastard.
(Bonus points to the first person who remebers on what show this hideous line was spawned)
Jesus. Was it that horrible “Dave Coulier Show” on… hell… Nickelodeon… perhaps? Back in the 80s.
–Tim
Are you talking about “Out of Control,” with that girl with the crazy hair and inch-long purple fingernails that schreeched like a banshee? Good Lord.
Close, It was “Americas Funniest People”.
IIRC, this was a cheap knock off of “America Funniest Home Videos”, except instead of funny moments accidently caught on tape, people tried to make funny videos on purpose. Ugh.
It was bad. Trauma inducing bad.
They also had that damn jackalope skit they always did. I belived thay called him “Jack-ching-bod-a-bing”.
::shudder::
Sooooo many bad memories returning, need strong drink and shower.
That was mean and cruel, Corvus. I thought I’d purged all the memories of that show, and now you’ve brought them all back!
If you need me, I’ll be curled up in a fetal position on the floor behind the couch.
D###. You know, at football games–one guy holds up a “D,” and another holds up a picket fence. Defense. D###.
This is actually kind of cute the first, oh, say half dozen times you see it–ha ha ha, that’s creative. It’s alright the second half dozen times–ha ha, they’re still at it. It’s tolerable the third half dozen times–ha…they’re stillat it. Well, I passed my third half dozen times seeing it during the Carter Administration…and while I realize that drunken football fans are liable to be creatively challenged, can we pleasefind another fucking schtick?
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Spinoff, not knock-off. They aired back-to-back for a while, and were both hosted by actors from Full House. (Bob Saget and Dave Coulier.)
Spin-off.
That was the word I was looking for! Thank you Tengu
And Kat, remember I cannot be held liable for any damages incurred, whether they be physical or emtional. 
Ugh. American’s Funniest People.
I had a friend, Beau Costner, who was actually on that show, with his wrestler imitation. He would have been about 12 or 13.

Unfortunately JDT apparently put a virus in the Straightdope e-mail.
Racist jokes.
Wife-beating jokes.
Neither of the above is funny anymore.
What is black and white and can’t turn around in an elevator?
A nun with a spear through her.
Actually funnier than I remember.
[sub][hijack][/sub]Dave Coulier was the inspiration for Alanis Morrisette’s “You Oughtta Know.”[sub][/hijack][/sub]
Now, isn’t that ironic, doncha think?
Yes, if anyone wonders why Married With Children was so successful: this was the sort of competition it had.
Not ironic, but rather, deeply disturbing.
The line “would she go down on you in a theater” just took on a new, horrific meaning.
That’s a mental image that going keep me up nights.
I’m going to go and scrub my brain now…hard.
