Video of the Decade: Oklahoooooooma!

Since everything will be 'of the decade,' and since that arbitrary (and arguably erroneous) milestone is soon passing, I want to share a discovery: somebody FINALLY put on youtube one of my favorite all-time SNL skits: Wedgie Fever.

Every time someone mentions the word "Oklahoma" I think of this skit. Warning: this is a pure example of male type humor

More Videos

My search for the Swayze obit video uncovered these two great, hall of fame, skits from SNL - (1) The debut of Chris Farley's "Matt Foley", (2) the commercial for "Bad Idea Jeans" (look how young, and/or alive, those guys were! [tear]):

(And since it's SNL, the ending stinks).

Here's the transcript, and below is the video:



*Yordim (sing. yoreid) are Israelis who have left Israel to settle in the Diaspora. The word literally means "one who goes down" (it's the inverse of someone who immigrates to Israel, called an oleh, someone who goes up). It's an accurate term, but not a nice thing to say to a yoreid's face.

Backpost: Life Imitates Walken

Backpost: From 11-05-2006, in the height of the Haggard scandal.

The enclosed SNL skit was alluded to by someone as being reminiscent of the Haggard denials. In any case, I had not seen it before, and it's very funny. Here's the transcript.

And, finally in 2008, I've found a clip:
