Additional note about Dr. Cabal. His character name and his costume design come from the 1936 movie Things to Come.

Favorite riffs

Mummenschanz has gone aggro.

Round about now, Boss Hogg had them Duke Boys in a mess of trouble down by Toxic Tomb Creek.

"Your safety is completely assured."
And by completely, we mean mostly.

There goes the entire practical effects budget.

Leslie Neilsen and Leslie Neilsen in The Parent Trap.

"Put a fork in me. I'm done."
Use a spoon. It'll hurt more.

"I have authorized for you to ride up front, behind the pilot in the cockpit."
In a Big Boy seat.

"I hope he gets his balls shot off."
So say we all.

Stumpy, put your shirt on. We're rolling.

The search for Walt Disney's head continues.

Hello, New Cleveland!

"How the hell do you hide a mega-robot?"
In the DVD Easter eggs?

Daphne and Velma: The Early Years. Tonight on Fox.

"Look at this."
You look. I'm bitter.

Fifty-four Puppetmaster movies? No wonder they all died off.

Tonight on Riverdale: Betty's Ultimatum.

Pink Ranger, retreat!

"He's about to take over North Hemi."
And after that, Broadway!

I have to bring my own wardrobe, this is non-union, and now I have tetanus.

Who are we rooting for?
Whoever makes the kill shot that ends this movie.

Wow, they hacked into a Dig Dug machine.

Somebody confiscate Stumpy's Hannibal Lector Quote of the Day Calendar.

It didn't save my Frogger High Score. Lame!

It's probably Mynocks chewing on the power cables.

"Stumpy, join the robot force," they said. "See the world," they said. Drop some metaphors. Co-pilot a killer scorpion. Always defer to your better-looking captain. Nurse him when he's hungover. Don't get the girl. Why I oughta...

I got the numbers of all the hot lady passengers, just like you asked, Captain. Oh, hi Leda. Anyway, you want those numbers alphabetical or by height or shoe size, you weirdo?

This is the music they play when you get kicked out of Medieval Times.

Technovisual and Ultravision in the battle for lens supremacy.

Leda is played by Barbara Crampton and I have been in love with her for a long time.

I first saw her in The Bold and the Beautiful but it was seeing her in Fraternity Vacation some time later which truly sealed her place in my heart permanently.

In the post-show festivities for tonight's general release of Robot Wars, Barbara Crampton is suppose to be making an appearance.

Wasn't there a reality sow, hosted by Craig Charles (Lister on Red Dwarf) by this name?


By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Sunday, December 03, 2023 - 6:04 am:

Indeed

Think that show aired on Space (as it was then called) in Canada.
