The one thing I remember from Veronicas Closet is that they were looking at menus for Chinese takeout, and in plain standard definition sight printed on the back of the menu was this:

He actually did write a "Black or White" parody, it's called "Snack All Night" and it's been performed live. The artist who was notorious for turning him down over and over was Prince, and after Prince died Al finally revealed one of the parodies he'd written, a parody of "1999" called "1-900".

My friends and I beat double dragon one afternoon in a grocery store. Just completely random, we decided to start playing and we were doing great, so we kept at it. There were four of us switching off, and at one point we ran out of quarters so tried begging a few from passers by. Another kid gave us 50 cents when we told him we were almost at the Willy stage and then he hung around to watch us finish it.

I had totally forgotten that until now. Thanks 90s thread.

Kurt was also pretty mentally ill, so it’s no surprise that he struggled with the cognitive dissonance of chasing popularity while hating it.

In some ways I think Kurt died at the optimum time. He got to spend his entire career at the top of his game, rather than having to deal with the inevitable collapse from grace and further destruction of his life from drug addiction. Nobody gets to remember him as a crazy old conspiracy theorist who got fat and struggles to sell tickets to a show when he used to be great. He spends eternity famous, rather than as a joke.

It really bothers me that you called him Troy McClure instead of Phil Hartman, and for some reason it bothers me more that nobody else seems to have caught it. SHAME ON YOU ALL.

You could tell this image was created no later than 1992 because Kris Kross were the only dudes who did the fad of wearing their clothes backwards when they broke out that year. Then again, if that ever really was a licensed image created by Warner Bros. (it most likely wasn't), then I could see it made up in 1997 by some clueless WB exec that wanted to be "with it" with the bippin' and the boppin' Fat Boys music.

I tried wearing my clothes backwards back in 1992. Once. For about 10 minutes. Before I said to myself, "This is dumber than poo poo holy loving poo poo" and promptly changed them around to normal.

Blockbuster video wow what a difference

I was listening to him in my freshman year of college (2000) but unfortunately didn’t get to see him before he died. I still wear a WW t-shirt on a regular basis. One of my favorite things is saying I have some new music to show someone then playing something like “They Kicked Me Out of Church” and seeing the reaction.

Pastry of the Year posted:

When I saw him, one thing contributing to his very, very long performance was that, for every two out of three songs or so, he'd abruptly stop at some point, announce "that was just a rock and roll test," and start the entire song over from the beginning.

If you know anything about his music, you know that (1) you come for the lyrics, not the actual music itself, and especially not the interminable bridges between the second and third verses (which was inevitably where he'd start over) and (2) I cannot imagine even the most refined ear being able to tell the difference between a Wesley Willis song performed correctly and a Wesley Willis song with a wrong note.

Ah, but he could. Bless him. I did get about twenty-five headbutts that night, and I've still got my autographed copy of Mr. Magoo Goes to Jail vol. 1 somewhere.

I think that was the ice in a coke ad. The Pepsi was a blow job, I believe?

Or maybe they both did? I dunno. Lots of hidden images back then.

The videos are left out due to rights issues. Back when B&B, or other shows that used licensed music, came out, no one considered that in the future someone could own an entire series and not take up a wall. So, MTV had the rights for broadcast, but for home video sale they'd have to renegotiate, this would include royalties, and just be a nightmare considering how varied everything was.

That's because that set is just the three Mike Judge Collection sets, plus the revival season.

The Mike Judge Collection was a three volume set from the mid 2000's, which only included 2/3 of the series. I will forever cherish my Time Life set that I bought a million years ago because it has some episodes that weren't included there. The other issue I always had with the Mike Judge Collection was that it broke up some of the continuity, for example Beavis and Butthead Do Christmas is split up, and the letters to Santa Butthead are now a special feature (other than the standard videos missing, the Time Life DVD keeps it in it's original context)

Really I hope someone like Shout Factory will get around to putting out a Blu-Ray of everything in original form, with music rights restored. It's just a dream, I know
