Episode 302:
Tanner's Guide to Jane
 
Jane (Kerri): I'm just gonna quit.
 
Tom: Now, that's not the Jane I know. The Jane I know would put a big old smile on her face, march right back into that boss's office, take off all
her clothes, put on a monkey suit, douse herself in gasoline, jump out the window, get into a tiny box, and declare with bravado, "The game is up
mariarti, drop the pistula and let the orphans go!" Now that's the Jane I know.
 
Jane: You know what, Paul? You're right. But you're not Paul. Oh, my goodness, I'm in the wrong apartment. I'm sorry.
 
Tom: Gee, you think you know somebody. Jane?
 
(Mike J. (in drag) comes and wheels Tom away.)

Okay, now let's get a shot of Ricky uhh.. kissing Suzy and- and, what's your name?

weight.'
 
Suzy: Oh, and I could look at him like, 'Hey. Why don't you get weights like those?'
 
Dad: Yeah yeah.
 
Frank: Hey. What if I don't look at the weights at all, like I don't see the weights? So I could just be like this.
 
Dad: Yes!
Okay, you're in an earthquake. In the middle of winter.
 
Mom: Oh, and the sun's in your eyes.
 
Suzy: Hi mom. Hi dad.
 
Suzy's dad (Tom): What the hell is going on here?
 
Ricky's dad: Oh, we were just taking a couple of photos of the kids.
 
Suzy's dad: What kind of albino is that?
 
Suzy's mom (Mike S): And where did you get those weights? Some kind of cut-rate sporting goods store?
 
Suzy's dad: Could we at least use our albino?
 
Ricky's parents: Sure, sure.
 
(enter albino Ben, lifting weights.)
 
Ricky's dad: Hey, wonderful.
 
Suzy's dad: Hey, let's get some gangsters and a cookie chef.
 
Ricky: Okay, okay. How about if I stand over here and I'm like big and strong, I'm a giant! And I'm going to squish all your cookies, 'cause you're
all small people. You're small people.
 
(Silence)
 
Ricky's mom: Are you two gonna be late?
 
All: Yeah yeah...

Ricky's dad: Very- very small head.
 
Sea Monkeys
 
Kevin: Hey, thanks so much for house-sitting, Dan. Now, you got the emergency numbers...I feel like I'm forgetting something. Oh! Forgot to show
you where I keep the pet food.
 
Dan (Joe): Oh, you have pets, huh?
 
Kevin: Yep. Sea Monkeys.
 
Dan: (laughs) I uhh... I had sea monkeys when I was a kid, and I took 'em to school and I spilled them.
 
Kevin: What? That's terrible.
 
Dan: Came on. I mean, face it. I won 'em out of a comic book. I mean, they're rip-offs.
 
Kevin: Well, please take better care of mine. Okay, I've had 'em since I was five.
 
Dan: Wow. How uhh... big do they get?
 
Kevin: Big.
 
(enter Ben, Ken and Mike B in ridiculous sea monkey costumes.)
Kevin: Oh, here they are. Hey guys. Aren't they cute? Okay, I'm just going to make sure the garage is locked.
 
Dan: You know, you're right. They are kinda...cute...
 
Sea Monkey 1 (Ken): You did WHAT to your sea monkeys?
 
Dan: I spilled them. It was an accident. I was little.
 
SM 2 (Mike B): Not as little as they were.
 
SM 3 (Ben): Be ashamed if somebody spilled you, huh!
 
Kevin (returns): Well, I'll see you in two weeks, Dan.
 
Dan: Listen, listen. I didn't know sea monkeys talked.
 
Kevin: Pfft! They never talk. They sing, sometimes.
 
SM's: Are you going to Scarborough Faire?
 
Kevin: Oh my gosh, I forgot my sideburns!
 
SM 1: We talk, we think, we scream...
 
SM 3: Swimmy here writes for Esquire.
 
SM 2: I guess yours never got the chance, did they, Dan?
 
SM 3: Who knows what they'd a had to say?
 
Kevin: (returns again (with sideburns) ) Oh, they like ya, Dan. Hey, take care of them. Bye guys!
 
Dan: You know, I think they'd be much happier with you on vacation.
 
SM 1: Adios, Danny Boy.
 
SM 2: Rip-offs? We'll show you rip-offs.
 
Kevin (Back again): You know what, Dan? You're right. Come on guys, we're going to Tahiti!

Dan: (looks up) Good God!
(giant rock falls on Dan)

Carla (Kerri): How many times have you thought, 'Gosh. I'd sure like to hear some of the great hits from the 70's, but I sure don't feel like dragging

Kabuki Doug
Announcer: And now The State presents, in the ancient art of Japanese Kabuki Theater, the classic tale, The Love Suicides at Sonezaki. Featuring:
Barry Toink, Louie, Barry and Levon, and of course, Doug!
 
{Okay, from here on the whole skit is in Japanese with English subtitles. I don't know Japanese, so I'm just typing up the subtitles. That kind of
makes it less funny, so you're just gonna have to watch it, I guess.}
 
Barry (Tom) and Levon (Mike B): Aw, yeah. Aw, yeah.
 
Barry T (Joe): Barry, Levon, is it true that Doug's father has forbade his marriage?
 
Barry: Yes, it's true. Doug is now betrothed to Aiko,
 
Levon: daughter of the wealthy landowner.
 
Louie (Ken): Hey, everybody!
 
All: Louie!
 
Louie: Please do not ask me to dip my balls in something. My heart grieves for the young lovers. Here they come now.
 
All: Hi!
 
Doug (Mike S) and Karen (Kerri): Hi!
 
Doug: Wassup? My forbidden and I have sworn a love suicide.
 
Karen: For we cannot be together on Earth.
 
Barry T: Doug, Karen, your devotion to love moves me so that I will now kill myself.
 
Barry: Levon and I will be groovy no more.
 
Levon: We will buy pantsuits and get haircuts.
 
Louie: I will make a pilgrimage to your graves and dip my balls in them.
 
Karen: Ugh.
 
Doug: Farewell my friends. I'm outta heeeere!
 
Toothbrush
 
Announcer: Michael Ian Black, who played Levon in that last sketch, went on to portray Admiral Octopus-Head at the Mulan Rouge (?), Mr.
Showers-a-Lot under the pyramids in Cairo. And his greatest accomplishment here in the good old USA? This guy!
 
Mike B: Just look at my teeth. Look at my gorgeous choppers! And do you know who I have to thank? You, toothbrush. You know who you are,
you're my toothbrush! Come on, let's go run around and do things set to popular music!
 
(That's just what happens)
 
Mike B: I love spending time with you toothbrush. But I have to leave you. You know what they say. If you love something, set it free. If it comes
back, it will last forever, and if it doesn't, it was never meant to be! Good-bye toothbrush.
 
(He turns into a dirty mess)
 
(doorbell rings)
Mike B: Toothbrush! Toothbrush, you've come back to me! And look, you've started a family!
