I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.

Surprised he didn’t go on to do something in the industry but never a bad thing for a kid to get out at least. I like how it was obvious on checking the profile pic that it was the right guy.

Also DOGOBGYN is easily a top three character. I try and explain this show and Gerard Reinke’s Wanderlust to people occasionally but no one ever takes up the offer to watch either. Early 2000s MTV had some gems when Jackass was still on.

The original pilot was from 2000, was pitched to USA (and rejected), and was called "Kid's Show" - here you can see how it was edited down before airing on MTV:

(for example in "Hot Dog Factory" the parts about doing drugs and getting molested in the break room)

I reflexively yell a nice soft bigfoot "whooo-eeeeee" every time I'm out in the woods or somewhere with a nice echo and I have never once met another living person who understands why I do it.

It's weird how while I don't think specifically about Wonder Showzen often, little bits of it have stayed with me. The "you ain't nothin, daddy", the slave song (specifically the kid air-guitaring), and that one skit where the guy said he was going to read a book in front of the kids, and it turns out he just wanted to read it, silently, to himself, literally in front of kids; all of this stuff just stuck with me for holy poo poo almost 20 years now :psyduck:

Other stuff from the same creators:

The Heart, She Holler which was a live action show starring Patton Oswalt and had an episode that was just a Jimmy Carter speech playing on a TV while the background freaked out.

The Shivering Truth, a stop motion show with short sketches including one about a guy who spends 70 years writing a suicide note, publishes it and then doesn't kill himself after it becomes the most popular book ever.

You didn't even mention the best part, where they replace Kristen Schaal's whorey Daisy Duke-alike with Amy Sedaris in loving monster makeup for the next two seasons

edit: Oh yeah, if you really like PFFR poo poo hunt down Final Flesh, it sure is... something. It's the writing from Xavier made into short films about an impending nuclear holocaust by pay-for-play fetish pornography purveyors, and it is truly one-of-a-kind. It's an arthouse swap.avi without any actual sexual acts.
