The now-classic anti-trailer trailer for Jerry Seinfeld's COMEDIAN, featuring the East Coast "IN A WORLD..." guy, Hal Douglas. "No! I LIKE IT in herrre!"
This is the hour long, laff-track free, Canadian cut of the classic LAUGH-IN styled kids monster-edu-comedy-p sychedelic tour de force made in 1972. The opening titles featuring Vincent Price lead into the regular opening sequence where Igor and Count Frightenstein sing the Transyvanian National Anthem and give the premise for the whole thing. Igor lays a clunker on the Count to round it off.
This classic, almost unbelievibly campy, Scopitone film was used regularly as a bumper between programming on CITY TV in Toronto and that's where I saw it first. Thankfully, the fine folks at http://scopitones.co m have provided it online for all of us. This one is AMAZING!
From the incrediby short-lived and award winning compilation show TELEVISION PARTS by MIKE NESMITH, The Funny Boys provide one of the single funniest rants I've ever frickin heard in my LIFE - and I'm IRISH! Available for purchase at Mike Nesmith's VideoRanch (http://www.videoran ch.com/)on the DOCTOR DUCK'S SUPER SECRET ALL PURPOSE SAUCE videotape.
Vincent Price introduces Zany Zoo with Bwana Clyve, who shows us his Rarey Bird (look close or you'll miss it - it's faster than the speed of sound!) and photos of cougars (or are they pumas?) and Gronk and The Wolfman share a riddle in the jungle. It's PEACHY-KEEN and APPLE-DANDY!
Vincent Price introduces The Oracle, who has a special greeting to people born under the sign of Libra and discusses Palmistry. Pay close attention to the mist in the crystal ball - cool! The Gorilla tries to hitch-hike. Beware of Bud-Dhu!
Super Hippy and Vincent Price introduce Grizelda who is brewing up her "Caracus Crab-Apples and Carribean Crab-Grass", The Gorilla shows us his butterfly net, The Count works a little on Brucie and gives Igor a dose of his Revitalising Formula, Doctor PetVet brings Igor a Blanding's semi-box turtle named Theodore (but The Sloth won't have any of it).
This simply has to beseen to be believed - the world was going to understand comics once and for all... well, maybe not.
I wonder how many times those poor actors had to go through this rigamarole during the course of that morning...
Super Hippy contemplates his geneology, Igor is pulled over by the Grammar Police and threatened by the Grammar Slammer Bammer, and Vincent Price introduces the Librarian who finds terrifying nuance in Mother Goose's "Cock A Doodle Doo" and "Little Jack Horner". Heavy!
This is a promotional video that Marvel Entertainment LLE (the folks who own Marvel Comics, movies and everything else) has put together to promote its characters in schools, at mall openings and the like.
