Do you know what we haven't touched on yet, but was so cool? Any skit in the haunted house. Two of them Jim Boyd bookends nicely. In Season 1, he appears like Thing from the Addams Family, just a hand reaching out of a box on a table, spelling words beginning with y. Yes, Yet, Yell, and You...

Lemme tell ya sumptin'. Being married 18 years, having the same partner all this time- and nobody else- sex is still a big benefit, one we both enjoy. It's not the only reason we're still together, but it's something we cherish. And like wine or scotch, it gets better with age. Society and the...

Drink up, @LittleJerry92!

Cullen, thanks for starting this thread. I'm digging reminiscing about all this great stuff. And other things I haven't thought about since these clips aired.

In a similar skit, Rita is the customer in a sandwich shop. The special is an "and" sandwich, featuring every ingredient under the sun. It takes both Luis and Jim to lug it out (foam rubber gets heavy, you know). Rita looks the sandwich over and asks for the salami. Jim (with toothpick hanging...

John Korty did another cartoon of a photographer taking a class picture. "Cheese!", he says, trying to get 30 cutout heads to smile. After a few false starts, the photographer builds up a huge sneeze, and when he finally lets go, his camera, tripod and lights all get blown away with him in the...

Walmart (or any store for that matter) should not be taking defective merchandise and selling it as new. There's a proper way to write off damaged merchandise so it doesn't get counted as current inventory. Plus you don't deceive customers into spending money on a defective product.

Yes, the geezer who orders the sweet roll does look like Old Fred from Yellow Submarine. There was a live remake with Morgan Freeman (who says this man can't act?!!!) as the customer, Hattie Winston as the waitress. "Ham and eggs". "We are out of eggs". You see where this is going. Bacon...

By coincidence Charlotte Rae passing away, if Will Lee (Mr. Hooper) was still around he'd be 110 today.

I remember when these clips with Charlotte were brand new. In Season 3 there were a number of minor characters (including Raul Julia) who didn't last beyond the season. At least they retired Molly's character before she got disgruntled.

In the same restaurant we see a kid having "DESSERT". A giant hot fudge sundae, whipped cream, cherry, the whole deal. Spellbinder removes an S and the kid finds himself alone in the "DESERT"! Kid starts bawling his eyes out. SB was there and comforts him. "Don't cry. I'M here!" Luckily...

On the contrary, you are very intelligent. You can spell "vaporizer". Many people can't even spell "weed",

During his one season, Bill Cosby enjoyed playing corporate big shots and used car salesmen. Anything to get behind a desk and light up his cigars. Why did he only last one season? Well, his plate was pretty full. He was working on his Master's degree, hosted a summer variety show called The New...

The next time Rita went into that office, she had to face the gauntlet of Grumble, Growl, and Grunt. Once Skip and Jim were dressed up as clowns. Jim was wearing a barrel because someone stole his pants. Skip is standing at a fork in the road. One arrow points, left, the other right. Jim wants...

I only vaguely remember this one, but there was a short insert seen more often: Morgan in the same king's outfit, surrounded by gold, jewels, and coins (a king's ransom?). Evil smile on his face as he runs his hands through his riches. Looks at the camera and yells "GREEDY!!!!" and shows the...

R. Crumb! Underground comic hero (I still have a few old Zap! Comix floating around). After all these years, still one of the funniest minutes in tv history. We used to leave our front door locked. If someone knocked on the door, four-year-old me would ask "Who is it?" If the answer was "It's...

And to @Xerus and @Katzi428, I want nine words engraved on my tombstone: "It's the plumber! I've come to fix the sink!"

It's also cool when TEC makes references to its own skits. Early on was a cartoon voiced by Mel Brooks insisting "I am very cute!" Then under his breath,"Boy, in order to get a compliment around here, you really have to work for it!" Tough gig, Mel. Cue a barbershop scene. Skip Hinnant's the...

Saw justice being served tonight. Driving my wife home from work. I'm doing the speed limit, minding my own business, everything is fine. Some guy tailgates me, blinds me with his hi- beams. Then he decides to pass me. It's a single lane, double yellow line,he passes (illegal move) right in...
