The Woodsman And The Falling Tree

[bigbird]

These skits were pretty funny. It involved a guy with a helmet who yelled out "Timber"! The next scene shows a giant matchstick standing on end and falling down with the sound effects of a real tree. The final scene (as with all of them with similar parts) shows the same man looking puzzled and scratching his head. Another similar skit showed the same thing except this one had a real tree falling down and bouncing off the ground and right back up to where it originally stood. Anyone else remember this one or was there another one lie this that I forgot?

Those were the only two I can remember. They were among those that unnerved me a little bit, but not so much as to make me run away in panic. The main factors probably because the guy yelled "TIMBER!" loudly and in an extreme closeup. Plus the falling tree looked a little evil, probably because it looked fake and rubbery. But that was a cute gag having it rebound back up into the woods.

I remember the matchstick and rebounding-tree clips, too--but don't recall anything unusual about the tree in the second version. (I must've been nearsighted even in kindergarten!) You're right about the "TIMBER!" shout being a little scary, though...
