Missing NJ Parents Come Home to Relieved Kid

Timmy Roberts, 5, had a serious scare Saturday night - but this is one missing persons case that has a happy ending. The 34 and 36-year-old parents of Timmy were last seen with a neighbor Saturday night, following an argument with their son Timmy. The child called police to report his parents missing but was told that they could not officially call them missing for 24 hours.

"It wasn't like them to stay out all night and I felt in my heart that something was wrong. And all this time the police are telling me they can't help me," Said Timmy Roberts, 5.

Police Chief Rogers said this in response, "All the time we get calls about parents that stay out too long because they are angry at their kid or because lose track of time, but 99 percent of them come back within 24 hours. Our policy is to wait before declaring them officially missing."

Timmy Roberts admitted that they had a particularly nasty argument before his parents disappeared. "We were arguing about them taking me to the Zoo tomorrow, and at one point they flipped out and started yelling that they never had time for themselves that I didn't care about their needs. My mom also said that she wish she were adopted."

Timmy, however, said he doesn't care about going to the Zoo at all, and he is just glad to have his parents back home safely. "You see all these stories on the news about abducted parents and it really freaks you out you know? I called their friend's houses but they hadn't seen them. It was 7 A.M. the next day and I was in the process of making MISSING flyers on my PlaySkool Computer when they walked in the door."

Timmy's parents are promising to talk it out in the future and let cool heads prevail. Timmy reflected on his good fortune, "You just thank God, you know, that nothing bad happened to them." All is well at the Roberts household and concerned neighbors even had a present for Timmy and his parents - two tickets to the Zoo.

Unintentionally hilarious video.

When I was looking up the sequel to what I covered here, I stumbled across a video commentary on youtube covering the game. This uh...enthusiastic...kid who has made one of the most unintentionally funny videos I've ever seen. His constant stumbling over the pronunciation of the Chinese characters, the constant sniffling, the mouth breathing, and when his cat apparently attacks him at 1:30 all make this video pretty awesome.

His channel can be found here and note that this is the final video out of 33 others.

Five WTF Moments From 80's Comedies

Lots of us turned to comedies in the 80's to make us laugh. Somewhere along the line, however, the scripts had some very bizarre moments that, when you look back on them, made you laugh in a different way. Here is a list of 5 WTF moments in 80's comedies:


1) Well let's get this Happy Days moment out of the way. A lot of people know about this, and it even spawned a website and a phrase "jumped the shark". Jumping the shark is considered the point at which a show has gone downhill so bad that it is no longer able to be saved. Look at the daisy duke and leather jacket combo. Because you want to still be stylish and practical whilst jumping a man eating shark. Because that's what he's doing. Jumping over a shark. On waterskis.

2) This Saved By the Bell WTF moment is made all the weirder by the girly screams in the audience, the delighted look on Kellie and Jessie's faces and the fact that Slater's man-buldge is being cradled especially tight. Add in the break-away pants and you pretty much have all the elements for a gay porn.

3) I'm not sure at which point Family Matters added the "Steevil" puppet character, but I assume it was added with about as much thought as went into the mysterious disappearance of one of their daughters. Also, note that instead of coming out of, say, a closet or out from underneath the bed, it comes out of the toilet. This raises all sorts of questions, none of which I want answered.

4) Ahh Perfect Strangers. I loved this show... about a Single grown man who takes in a immigrant who can't speak english well...and lets him live with him...and...holy crap why are they staring at each other that way?!




5) Mr. Belvedere went from subject matter such as, "Wesley's hamster has gotten loose somewhere in the house" and "Wesley is upset when he and three other classmates are the only ones who are not invited to a fellow classmates party" to WESLEY GETS MOLESTED.


What the hell were they thinking? Does anyone realize how many years of therapy it would take someone to get over being molestated? It's not something you can wrap up in an episode. Anyways, if you are getting your molestation advice from a sitcom, you already need years of therapy.
