Waldorf: That's one of the reasons I always thought the Muppets were weird.
Statler (smoking a cigar): Why's that?
Waldorf: They think explosions are funny.
Statler: Yes...
Waldorf: Explosions aren't funny. (Statler's cigar explodes) Although some of them are really quite droll...
Wow, what happened to my last post? I had spaces and paragraphs, and it came out all jumbly.
Anyway...
Does anyone remember the dreaded Divx (or Digital Video Express)? This was an early, failed attempt to compete with DVD.
The principal investor of Divx was Circuit City.

I caught a few eps. of the MST3K hour, when I could find them, but they weren't quite as fun as watching the entire episode. To make it worse, sometimes it wouldn't even air the following week, so you were left hanging.
The best part was Mike's Jack Perkins intros and outros.
Good lineup of...
Awwww! Tricked into thinking it was something from MST. That quote is actually from Soultaker, though.
Two other Garfield references:
From Manos...
Joel, Crow & Servo: Ziggy had Garfield neutered? Now that's funny!
From Kitten with a Whip
