god, i wanna do a stairway party now, i always laugh myself sick
it's the continuity and community that gets built up when everyone goes HOLY SHIT IT'S THAT GUY AGAIN! I REMEMBER HIM FROM TWO HOURS AGO!

Srsly, did John Daker ever make an appearance on this show?

I had a well-worn multi-generational Stairway to Stardom 4 hour VHS about 20 years ago, this is bringing me back hahaha.

the guy you wanna thank for preserving this bit of cultural gold is http://www.mitchfriedman.com/

one of the wonderful things about stairway is that NOBODY MADE IT no one got even close, this was the height right here and it's beautiful.

Sad. That "What a Feeling" guy is actually pretty limber and, with some real training, could've been a dancer on Carrie: The Musical.

aw

xp

underrated classic from the show and one of my personal faves:

actually................. the guy he thanks first is the guy who gave me the tape about 20 years ago.

Shasta was ~there~

rrrreally? then i may have been misinformed.
at the very least, he's responsible for a great deal of the editing and for honoring the fire.

Daouh-auwh, daouh-ah! Daouh-auwh, daouh-ah! Daouh-auwh, daouh-ah! Why douh foos fawhl in luf.

wow

What is/who are Tim and Eric?

Should I look into them?

i never knew about this thread and now i do

thanking you all very much

tho i gotta say this is precisely the sort of thing i would make my friends/gf watch and receive nothing but blank stares in return

xxp nooooooo

lol sean - that to me?

I know/<3 about 1/2 the stuff on this thread but just watched a couple T&E skits and I'm not really sure. I could be funny with either very little sleep or a lot of pot or a combination thereof but otherwise? idk.

I could probably be funny with those too but I meant "it".

xpost2enbb

they're these two guys who met at temple u. maybe go to comedy central's website and watch a bunch of their stuff. they're sort of obsessed with public access television, infomercials, low budget televisuals in general

they also fixate on toilet humor, which can get old fast, but aside from that, i think they are genuinely hilarious when they focus on the nuances of whatever i mentioned up there in the first paragraph of this post. so, at their best they do spot-on absurd takes on the dumbest aspects of nineties popular culture and beyond. it's worth a look. the kind of thing you might have to warm up to or sift past the crud to get into

they're absurdist humor, i guess, for lack of a better description, and yeah drugs probably help

yeah it's really not my thing; del's description is accurate tho.

(msgd u on fb btw)

yeah dell totally otm. It is, in my opinion, totally and completely about the nuances: their little pauses and twitches and facial expressions and the manner in which they deliver lines, etc. Also, they reach a level of weird that's very difficult to attain, and they sort parody vibes and scenarios more than like actual concrete ideas or objects.

they can be great and then all of a sudden they're really not. i was a big fan and then i saw them live and now I kinda can't stand them.
