Didn't one of them feature the "Running Ostriches" film?

There's At Least One Sneak Peak Preview Skit I Remember Is When Telly Fulls Down On The Floor And The Popcorn Spills At The End Of The Skit. Does Anybody Know What I'm Just talking About :confused: If So,Which Skit Is It?

The Popcorn Joke was actually used in almost every Sneak Peek Previews skit. These were first made in the early 80's and originally had Brian Meehl performing Telly. They were used as late as 1991. Some of them were new but they did reair the older ones with Brian Meehl's Telly right up until 1988. Here are some of the Sneak Peek Previews I can remember.

The Running Ostriges that was mentioned

An old SS film probably from the early 70's with a bunch of kids using a big Barrell in order to make something useful with it. I remember at the end Oscar commenting on how he liked the beggining of the film when it started out with a piece of Junk!

The Baker #10 film from 1969

The Last Emperor (Later SPP)

Siskel and Ebert are guest stars on SPP (No Movie shown in this one, this may have been the very last Sneak Peek Previews ever made)

There was also one with Ernie and Bert watching SPP. I've never seen it, but I know someone who does. :smile:

A video from 1997 (I think) revolves around "Sneak Peak Previews". It's called "Sing Yourself Sillier at the Movies", where Telly and Oscar view eight of SS's weirdest songs (mainly from the 90s).

:grouchy: --"This is a movie that's definitely Oscar-worthy!"
