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.

NASCAR News: Kyle Busch Wins in Vegas by Driving Fast

Kyle Busch won the Vegas Shelby 427 Sprint Cup race Sunday, his first ever win in Vegas. His strategy? "Driving really fast," he told the reporters waiting to interview him.

Asked about his training regiment, he had this to say: "Well I took a brick, right, and tied it to my right foot, which is where the gas pedal is in a car, right, and just imagined that I was pressing down on the gas pedal with that foot."

Busch came from absolute last place to take the lead. Asked about how he overcame that deficit, he had some words of advice for his fellow racers, "The other drivers might not be pressing down on the gas pedal all the way, and that is incorrect. You must press the gas pedal down all the way. That is how you go faster. Might I suggest the brick strategy."

Asked if he had any other thoughts, he suggested that "Some of the drivers may have had their left foot resting on the brake pedal the whole race. That, too, is incorrect. The brake pedal will not make you go faster."

Busch leaves Vegas tomorrow to celebrate with his family.

Police: Necrophiliac Wants Death Penalty

eeny meeny miney moe


Police say that 42 year old Gilbert Esron had sex with over 50 corpses in his four year employment at Deer Meadow Funeral Home, and now he wants the death penalty. The reason? So that he can touch himself.

While on the stand, Esron had this to say,"There are no corpses in jail and I'm only attracted to dead people. My only hope is to abuse myself after I'm dead."

When informed that the charges against him did not carry the possibility of capital punishment, and furthermore questioning the logic of the defendant's statement, the defendant tried to grab the gun from court security, presumably to kill himself.

The defendant was restrained and the trial continued without incident.

Top 5 Scary Gary Busey Clips

The fact that Gary Busey is crazy is hardly news to most people, but you know what they say: the unexamined life is not worth living. Without futher ado, here are the top 5 scary Busey clips.

1). Here you can stop watching after you see Busey (0:08). That's all the time he is in the commercial. Check out the batshit-crazy look on his face and the way the other guy is scared for his life. Also note that because he does not appear in the rest of the commercial, it is safe to assume that Busey tried to bite someone on the set and ran out of the building screaming about giant ants in his shoes.

2). Here is Busey trying to make a kid cry. You might call it horrible. Busey calls it Thursday.

3). These clips show Busey attacking the delicate subject of Euthanasia. Just kidding, it's him going crazy. Twice. Presumable he does this to "Try to Get the Demons Out".

4). In this clip from the 1980 movie Carny, Gary Busey is playing a Dunk-Tank Clown who is hurling insults at the customers. Busey is basically playing himself in this role and I wonder if any of this was actually scripted. At one point he becomes so bored with the competition that he mumbles insults to himself and then goads the crowd into escalating violence...against himself.

5). In this next clip Busey has made a very specific threat to someone: Pulling an endocrine system out of someone's body and making it into a hat.

Here is a picture of the human major endocrine system:As you can see, that would involve Busey going inside your body and fishing out approximately 8 different items, all located in different regions of the body, then turning those items into a hat. Presumably he would wear this hat to church on Sundays.

Also, let's be honest, you only have that much fear of a straightjacket if you have been in one for a long time.
