oil changes are a facade propagated by big oil, get some toyo proxes, and chop your springs so you get a nice lowered look (+ also roll your fenders to fit your toyo proxes)

Occasionally if they needed to show Alf’s whole body he would be a little actor in a suit instead of a puppet which i found hilarious.

Alf running was the thing of nightmares.

i read auto shjop and immediately thought of my rotary which has frequent mechanical needs

I read last week that somebody succesfully developed a reverse-rotary - the rotor is oval and the combustion chamber is triangular:

They made sure it runs on diesel and jet fuel because they're trying to sell it to the military, but I want one! And not a clapped-out milsurp one in 20 years, either.

I binged most of it in the background while packing up for a move a few years back.

For a poo poo 80s sitcom it holds up relatively well, there's some laughs.

Wasn't ALF super-popular in its heyday for some reason, like the biggest show on TV for awhile

It's honestly hard to describe how huge it was for a while, almost Bart Simpson level of pop culture infection.

Alf could be one of the biggest unsalvagable IPs out there. The original show is just so immensely bad that reruns are unheard of, yet it was huge. As an 80’s kid Alf merch would just materialize around you like a magic fungi. You could not live an alf-less life.

Let's get clean and smart


They made an Alf tv movie in the 90s. I am a bit too young to remember 80s Alf but I watched the tv movie and I think it involved him and some teenagers trying to outfox the government trying to catch Alf cause he was an alien.

A missed opportunity for an X-Files crossover there if you ask me.

Well, in Whoville they say - that his tiny hands grew three sizes that day.

My grandpa had an Alf stuffed toy (he fuckin loved Alf) that I used to play with when I visited. When my grandparents died recently, I specifically asked that I get Alf. He now sits on a couch in my spare room and I say hello and give him a pat on the head almost whenever I go in that room.

Basically what i'm saying is, if you got a problem with Alf, you got a problem with ME :toughguy:

So like, did they just imply he eats cats, or does he just off-handedly mention that he eats cats occasionally, or is him eating cats a plot point during an episode? Seems kinda hosed up to have him eat cats if you ask me.

So it's just a sex joke? Or is there like, an episode where the family Alf lives with has to deal with some awkward neighbor situations because Alf is eating all the neighborhood cats? Is there a scene where a neighbor has a cat go missing and then they discover Alf with a cats tail hanging out of his mouth which he then proceeds to slurp it up like spaghetti? Just how hosed up was this show???

Alf made a Miata joke at one point, I had no idea what a "Miata" was back then.

I now drive a Miata.
