"I just saw the freakin' undead, man!!"

[whoisdickieschnabel]

OMG. Pumpernickel!! LOL LOL LOL LOL

[kristell9]

TV wheel was lame but this segment was brilliant.

[Iritscen]

@kristell9 Yeah, this was the best part of the pilot. I love Joel, but this show needed better writing than what he was able to get.

[kristell9]

True, it had a great cast and the format was clever but the writing wasn't great. But the magic show bit was a gem.

[gfixler]

I thought Vick Lawston was being played here by Christopher Morris (Denholm from "The IT Crowd"), but looking it up, looks like it was Paul Feig. Now we all know the truth.

[Exit13online]

Holy Cow! That's David Cross!

[KKtrin]

Hah, Joel's Pumpernickel voice is the same one he uses in the "Catching Ross" host segment from MST. :]

[MoJoelRizing]

What a memory rush. I HAD one of those catalogs!

I'm wondering if somebody knows the name of the

actor who played Vick Lawston. Joel's brother

maybe?

[GroovyChainsaw]

Vick Lawson is played by actor/comedian Paul Feig -- best know nowadays as a TV director ( Freaks & Geeks, Undeclared, Arrested Development ) Also check out his books, "Kick Me" and "Superstud". Paul Feig ROCKS ! ( that's probably the only time that sentance has ever been used )

Want this on disc?? Go to:MST3K dot ORG..Lots of great stuff!

[VideoJunkei]

I have the whole show, I loved it, but HBO would not show it, they thought it was THAT bad. (Or so I hear)

[mrgb46]

I heard that HBO thought some people wouldn't get it or that it was too "out there"..something like that.

[steveasat2]

Was that on the behind-the-scenes episode? Seems I woulda kept that if I'd seen it before. All I really recall was the Weinerville-style origin-of-KISS segment, but that was priceless. "Agh, dammit I bit my tongue!!"

[TeamVacaville]

I saw the original, and it was awesome. please post more!!!

[Rugburn]

Yeah! Post more. :)

[libster77]

Joel Hodgson=Genius.

[NUTCASE71733]

That DID sound like Joel! Cool! The comment about him being shot into space seemed like a prelude to MST3K lol.

[dijeinyje]

Awesome. Haven't seen this since middle school. And, only one episode. Funny and imaginative. WE NEED MORE!!!

[JordanPardes]

This is still funny even when you're not high! Or so I've been told

[breakfastmachine]

[vince80s]

Yes please post more :)

[ericwtrainor]
