Rare Recording of Michael Richards as "Battle Boy"

[ztarrfect]

looks a bit like mr been

[tripjet999]

Actually, it was on in the early '80s, not the '70s.

Who would have guessed that this dude would have turned out to be a vicious racist motherfucker whose "Ride the Coat-tails of Seinfeld's Talent" life ended that night on stage at the Laugh Factory.

Fuck you Richards, you fucking shitbag.

Want ANOTHER reason to hate him? He's the reason that we can't get it on DVD or see it on reruns -- he won't sign off on the deal!

LOVED Fridays! Even when I didn't "TAKE A PILL".

[CASteel1]

Great stuff. I thought I was the only one that remembered this show. Battle Boy was the best. I remember laughing so hard on these. Thanks for the post.

Does anybody have the parakeet sketch?

[moparmonster1965]

I just barely remember this, but it's as funny as I recall. Thank you for posting, SKYBLUENBLACK.

[SKYBLUENBLACK]

You are welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it and glad to hear from a fellow Battle Boy fan.

Does the zombie sandwich shop skit still exist? I remember the man ordered a hand sandwich.

Love to see the series on DVD ! Battle Boy was one of my favorites !

[mctrlsys]

Well, you can thank Michael Richards for the fact tat it isn't available -- he has refused to sign off on the rights for it's release

Hey SKYBLUE, WAS NOT a 70s show, it was like Totally 80s, I know I was there.

[janisstuddard]

you are correct, it was from the 80's. One of the few good stuff from 80's.

[whammer0411]

Is this on DVD yet? It should be, for a while it was better than SNL (which as we all know royally SUCKED in 1980.) Gotta get the full sketch of this, with Michael fighting with his little sister and the loud mom "WHAT DA HELLS GOIN ON OUT THERE?!" Good times.

[hellofrommi]

I was so hoping watching this that his sister would come out.

[memphisphotographer]

Not to be picky but the show Fridays was actually from the 80's and not the 70's.

Thank you for posting!!!!

[CurbUrEnthusiasm]

Michael Richard is the best!

[pylgrym]

FLAMING ARMYMENN! Don't try this at home, kidz!

I love Battle Boy, but Fridays first aired in 1980. Just fyi.

[bertskoi]

January of 1980, which was still technically the 70's hangover, so they're not too far off... Thanks for posting it, I bought a Betamax in Dec. of '76 and have many episodes. Will be posting eventually. 1 question tho, why only 57 seconds?

[HtotheB]

Not one episode of Fridays aired in the 70s, therefore, it wasn't a "70s show."
