Hey, hey, hey.

Dad:  Oh, no you're not.  You're not beatin' this old man...
 
Timmy:  I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win!
 
(Race gets nastier)
 
Timmy:  I really looked up to you, Dad!
 
Dad:  It's a tough world, Timmy.
Give it up Timmy!  you can't win.  Don't you see that?
 
Timmy:  Go to Hell, Dad!

(fist-fight occurs at the final stretch)
(Dad wins the race)
 
Dad:  You'll be a man someday, Timmy!
 
Grandpa (Ken):  So will you, sucker!
 
Dad:  Dad?
 
Timmy:  Grandpa?
 
Grandpa:  Eat my dust, losers!  Boys will be boys.  Let's get it on, mother.
 
Howard Report
 
Chuck (Mike B):  Good evening, and welcome to the Howard Report, where each week we discuss topics of national interest with men named
Howard.  Joining me tonight is Howard Neathe, a clothing designer from New York.
 
Howard N (Joe):  Good evening.
 
Chuck:  And Howard Roland, and unemployed factory worker from Lansing Michigan.
 
Howard R (Mike J):  Hey.
 
Chuck:  Topic:  Should the chairman of the Federal Reserve raise interest rates to stave off inflation, or lower them to spur the economy?  Howard?
 
Howard N:  I have no idea.
 
Howard R:  Could I have another milkshake?
 
Chuck:  Maybe.  Joining me now is Howard Walker, ex-marine and body-builder, convicted of selling anabolic steroids to third-grade girls.  Mr.
Walker, should the postal system be privatized?
 
Howard W (Ken):  I don't know.
 
Chuck:  To my far right is Dr. Howard Pollick, professor of economics, and amateur circus clown.  Dr. Pollick!
 
Howard P (Ben):  Call me Howard!
 
Chuck:  Does violence on film create violence in society?!!!
 
Howard P:  You're asking the wrong guy!  Would you like a marshmallow!?
 
Chuck:  Doing the crab-walk is Henry O. Washington Anson Radcliff Davis.  Take the first letters of all his names, it spells Howard!
 
Henry (Tom):  (doing the crab-walk)  hello!
 
Chuck:  I have no questions for him.
And finally, in a little swimming pool, wearing one of these, Nelson "Howie" Wright.  Architect, and creator of this:  Nyah!
 
Nelson:  Nyah!
 
Chuck:  And I'm Chuck Worthman.  Next week, we discuss Mexico's role in a global economy with several men, and one little girl, named
Howard.  This has been the Howard Report, as always, a complete waste of time!
 
H's & M's
 
(Halloween music plays, and characters are dressed kinda like vampires.)
 
Mike S:  Welcome to our home, or shall we say...Mome!
 
Kerri:  You see, in this world, all the words that start with "H" now start with "M."
 
Mike B:  In this world, your bloodiest organ is no longer your heart, but your meart!
 
All:  Ma ma ma ma ma!
 
Kerri:  The 31st president is not Herbert Hoover, but Merbert Moover!
 
Mike S:  And Fonzie, played by Menry Winkler, would be on Mappy Days.
 
All:  Ma ma ma ma ma!
 
Mike B:  Oh, the morror!
 
All:  The morror!  Ma ma ma ma ma.
 
Slinky's
 
Jimmy (Mike S):  (Playing with stuffed animals)  
You're a giraffe. And you're a frog.  Well, you're a giraffe!
Well, hello there, and what can we do you for?
 
Kevin:  I'm looking for a fun toy for my kids.
 
Jimmy:  Sir, may I recommend to you, the Slinky.
 
Kevin:  Sure, that sounds interesting.
 
Jimmy:  Jane, get a Slinky!
 
Jane (Kerri):  Hello, my little chickadee.  What I'm holding here is a standard issue metal Slinky.  
 
Jimmy:  And I, my fine feathered friend have in my possession a newer model.  Behold!  the plastic Slinky.  It's bigger, and you can fit it on you
fore-arrem!

Jane:  Well, what's that over there?
 
Jimmy:  It's pop coming a-yoot my butt!
 
Jane:  Bird-boy, watch.  It's hair!  It's Slinky hair!
 
Jimmy:  It's a very fine neck-layce!
 
Jane:  Don't be a-feared, it's a belt.
 
Jimmy:  I love yower-a belt, Jane!
 
Jane:  Why, thank you Jimmy.
 
Kevin:  Does it go down stairs?
 
J & J:  I can't hear you!
 
Kevin:  DOES IT GO DOWN STAIRS?
 
J & J:  Alone or in pairs!  It's Slinky, It's Slinky.  For fune, it's a wonderful turr!

Jimmy:  You're darn right we are, worm-eater.  We are the two-time defending national Slinky champ-ions!
 
Jane:  Jeffery, put on the music!
 
(They perform this slinky routine that you've just gotta see...)
 
Jimmy:  So, what do you say, he who vomits to feed your children?
 
Kevin:  I gotta tell ya, I love the demonstration, but I'm really gonna have to think about it, okay?  Thanks anyway.
Caw!  Caw!  Caw!  Caw!  Caw!  Caw! (goes out the door and...umm...flies...kind of.)
 
Jane:  Those damn birds.  They always look, but they never buy.
 
(Kevin joins other "Birds" (Men) in a nest.)
 
 
Hot Dogs
 
(David and Ken are out in a big empty field.  David is lounging in a beach chair.  Ken is at a hot-dog stand.  A hot dog hits David in the face.)
 
David:  Excuse me.
 
Ken:  What?
 
David:  Would you stop throwing hot dogs in my face?
 
Ken:  I'm not.  (whistles)
 
(Another hot dog hits David)
David:  Stop it!
 
Ken:  I'm not throwing anything, calm down!
 
David:  Of course you are, there's nobody else here!
 
Ken:  Listen buddy, I don't know what your problem is, but you're DISRUPTING MY BUSINESS!
 
------Hot Dog missile launching facility, somewhere in Nevada------
(That's not an exact quote, I'll look that up later.)
 
Mike B:  Ready?  Fire!
 
David:  STOP IT!
 
Ken:  WHAT?!!!
 
Tenement
 
Kevin: In an effort to "class up" the show a bit, the State is proud to present the following scene from William Maguire's prize-winning modern
drama, Tenement, the story of an unemployed dockworker who is forced to move in with his alcoholic father, and with his wife, who refuses him a
divorce. Now, we did have to soften the language a bit for television, but we feel the message of the piece still rings clear. Ladies and gentlemen,
Tenement.
 
Husband (Ken): Aren't you gonna ask how my day was?
 
Wife (Kerri): How was your day?
 
Husband: Poopie. Another poopie day. I took number two from every dum-dum in this mickey-fickey neighborhood today. Thanks for asking,
dummyhead.
 
Wife: I'm not taking any more of your fudging bull-puckey, you cock-eyed fellow! I took it from my screwy flick of a father, and I'm not gonna take
it from a poop--who's too weinerless to fight for his own stinky job!
 
Husband: You pineapple! You fudgey cootie! They gave my job to fudge-eating nickel pickers, and I come home...
 
Father (Ben): (wakes up) Both of you--Dick Traceys, cut the sheep dip! I don't wanna join you asphalts in your tinkle-tinkle contest, but this is my
spithouse! Even if it's a messy mess. And if you two fox-plucking bozos can't..aah..cut the ..doo doo...oh, turds. (clutching chest, and falls to the
ground)
Fudgesicle.
 
Husband: Poop! Poop poop poop poop poopie poo poo!
 
Wife: Johnny.
 
Husband: No, it's my fault. I killed the old fork-and-spoon raspberry. Darn me to H-E-double-hockey-sticks! I'm not worth farty nonsense.
 
Wife: It's all right. We may just be two sacks of fogged up crappola, but we have each other, and we can take all the stinky this world dishes out!
Come on, let's get milk-faced and hum like rabbits.
 
Both: (pouring milk on their faces and hopping around like rabbits) hmm hmmhmm...
 
Cleaners
 
Old weird guy (David):  Johnson's free and fresh dry-cleaning establishment, it's more than just a dry-cleaners.  It's also a naked party.  Cast off the
shackles of modern society as we cast out tough stains other dry-cleaners will leave behind.  Uhh!  Lose a button?  We'll sew one on as you tie one
on with some of our naked regulars.  Repairs and alterations in a matter of moments while you party down in the company of other tired, naked
gentlemen.  Also, complimentary wine and cheese curls.  So come to Johnson's free and fresh dry cleaning establishment.  It's like having someone
else wash your clothes while you have a naked party.
 
Announcer:  Johnson's.  Leave your stains and inhibitions behind.
 
Hallmark
 
Bob (Mike B):  You've heard the expression, "Families that pray together stay together."  What about families that work together? We're a family
that does just that.  When Carol and I first met, we both had corporate jobs, but we got tired of the rat race, because we are not rats- we're people!  
 
Carol (Kerri):  So now we work at home, where we design inspirational posters for a major greeting card company.  I'm most proud of the "Hang in
There" series.  
 
Bob:  That's the one where the kitten is hanging from the tree limb by one little paw, and the caption says...
 
Carol:  Hang in there.
 
Bob:  Hang in there.
 
Carol:  'Cause the best sayings all come in threes.  Hang in there, you know, I love you.
 
Bob:  I love you.  And that's no secret, either!
 
Carol:  Eskimo kiss!
 
Bob:  (alone)  I have a lot of anger.  towards Carol, the kids, but mostly at this guy.  Me.  I hate me.
 
Okay.  Here's something we're working on now.  We call it the- "The critter in a basket" series.
 
Carol:  There's a different critter in a basket on every poster.  It might be oh, a monkey, or a kitty.  You know, just fuzzy things that are good to
hug!  And it's guaranteed to warm your heart.  
 
(alone)  I fantasize about my death.  A lot.  About escaping from Bob and the kids, but mostly from Bob.  it's hard, you know.  He's a hard nut to
crack.
 
Bob:  Being dead starts to sound pretty good...when you have nothing to live for.  
(sniffing crayola magic markers)  Wakey wakey, Bob.  Wakey wakey.
 
Carol:  Aren't these a couple of good-looking kids?  You know, people ask us where we get our inspiration from, well mister, you're lookin' at 'em!
 
Bob:  This is the work we're proudest of.  Bob Junior, and little Peggy!
 
Bob Jr. (Kevin):  I've told my Dad I wanna die.  You know what he said?  He said, "Welcome to the club, sport."
 
All:  Michael row your boat ashore.
Alleluia
 
Bob:  It's gonna be a good year for the Schwam family.  We've got a new series that Bob Jr. designed.  Why don't you tell them about it, Bob?
 
Carol:  It's called "Love is gonna getcha!"  And we're excited, 'cause that's what happened to us.
 
Bob:  Love got us, and it never let go.
 
Monkeys Do It II
 
Announcer:  Last time they talked about the monkeys doin' it.  This time, they're having a different conversation, and the basement's a little bit
bigger.  Coming soon, in fact, right now!
 
Tony (Ken):  Uncle Vinny, how come I gotta eat Thanksgiving dinner down here at the little kids' table still?
 
Vinny (Kevin):  Because all you's do is yell, and I want some peace and quiet up here while I drink, now SHUT UP!
 
Tony:  All I'm sayin' is, I don't wanna-
 
Vinny:  SHUUT UUUP!!!
 
Tony:  (To some kid)  shut up.
 
Joey (Joe):  Hey, Ma...could we eat yet?
 
Ma (Tom):  Hey, hey hey!  Nobody touch nothin' until and Geri and Uncle Butch get here!  You touch-a the food, I cut off your hand, I give it to
the dog.  
 
Anthony (Mike S):  Hey Gina, thanks for gracin' us wit' your abnormal presence.
 
Gina (Kerri):  Shut up.  Me and Sherry was workin' wit' Ma in the kitchen.
 
Tony:  Uh, uh...what's Sherry doin' here?  Don't she have no family?
 
Gina:  Sherry's parents don't celebrate Thanksgiving, 'cause they say that after they had Sherry, they got nothing to be thankful for.
 
Sherry (Todd):  Yeah!
 
Tony:  Yeah yeah, but what's she doin' in my home on this Italian holiday?
 
Joey:  Tony, Thanksgiving is an everybody holiday.  
 
Tony:  Oh, oh, oh.  Bite your tongue!  It's not an everybody holiday, it's an Italian holiday, and if Columbus heard you say that, he'd beat the crap
outta you!
 
Anthony:  Tony's right, Joey.  Christopher Columbus was world-renowned for beatin' wit' his fist anybody who was not Italian on his holiday.
 
Joseph (Mike B):  That's not true, because Columbus himself did not celebrate his holiday until his death!  Nobody did, because the calendar was
not invented until thousands of years later.
 
Gina:  Bingo!
 
Joey:  In conclusion, due to that fact, Thanksgiving is an everybody holiday.  Read your Bible.
 
Sherry:  Yeah!
 
Gina:  Ma, Joey's eatin' the meatball!
 
Ma:  Hey, hey!  Give me the meat-a ball!
 
Vinny:  GIVE YOUR MOTHER THE MEATBALL!
 
Ma:  Next person who touch-a the food, I swear before God, I will make a call...I will have you killed.
 
Vinny:  When you's old enough to gamble, you can sit upstairs.  But until that time, as the good Lord said, SHUT UP!!
 
Joseph:  Hey Aunt Geri.
 
All:  HEY!!
 
Aunt Geri (David):  Hey, Happy Thanksgiving.  We brought some extra meatballs in case we run out.
 
Uncle Butch (Ben):  I brought you some cigarettes.  Don't tell your mother, don't tell your mother.
 
Tony:  (Helping Butch up the stairs--he's in a wheelchair)  Let me give you a hand.
Hey, Uncle Butch, next time bring nonfiltered, all right?
Oh, could we eat now?  Everybody's here, Ma!
 
(Butch falls down the stairs)
Butch:  I'm okay!  I landed on my neck, I'm fine.  
 
Anthony:  Uncle Butch, let me help you get back in your chair.
 
Butch:  Hey hey, Anthony.  I can do it!  (Gets up and walks back to his wheelchair)
 
Ma:  Oh, thank God he's okay.  We got so many things to be thankful for.
When I first come to this country from Sicily, I had only a pickle and a piece of string.  And now we have so much.  I'm so thankful, mostly for my
family.  Tony, Anthony, Joey, Joseph, Gina, and even you Sherry, even though you're so so stupid.
 
Sherry:  Yeah!
 
Ma:  How can you even find the door, you so stupid?  But mostly I'm thankful for that his holiness, the Pope-a, who was shot...did not die!
 
Tony:  Ma, that was fifteen years ago.
 
Ma:  Shut your mouth, you diss-a the Pope-a!
Anthony, it's too loud, close the door.
 
Anthony:  Go.  get outta here!  Go on.
 
Joseph:  Ma, now could we eat?
 
Ma:  Now let's-a eat.
 
All:  Pass the meatball...
