Idiot Box episode 1

[KurdtKobain09]

I don't think this sort of comedy suits Alex..

[greenleif]

Eddie the Flying Gimp! (from outer space) :D

and "Damn These Eyes!!!"

[erraticmetronome]

amazing, good memories of watching this show with my brother and we laughed til we cried. thanks for posting. and it looks like the actor who played the screaming headache guy was the same guy in the episode of Seinfeld when he got in a stand off with Kramer over a parking spot.

[lostboysmarko4]

[Exodous23]

So thats where that intro for Freaked comes from. =) I love that movie was just wikipediaing and found out about the idiot box and trying to get it on dvd. I love the comedy and will definitely sign that petition to get it on dvd.

[Lottech96]

that guy at the end is creepy man...

[lostboysmarko4]

LOPLZ why do u find him creepy LOL Alex is not creepy LOLZ ohh ya that guy the ohter ya he is sorda LOL but i HATE him for stabbing my ALEX WINTER!!! if i were thier i would shot them and see how they like it LOL nobody calls Alex a punk LOL

[Lottech96]

no no Not Alex, he's cool!

I was talking about that polygon looking guy

[lostboysmarko4]

yea now i know who you are talking about LOL

[NaveedKoval]

hahahah the boo ya tribe are sick

[lancearoo]

Was that Jim Carrey talking at the end of the headache bit?? Looked like him...

[vVRHINOVv]

It's clearly the same guy playing the doctor throughout the entire bit... not Jim Carey... just a tall white guy who sounds weird when he tries to act upset

[turdburglar27]

It's Tom Stern...

[lostboysmarko4]

i find him SO HOT ALEX WINTER HE IS SO HOT OFF OF THE LOST BOYS AND BILL AND TED AND WHEN HE IS ON THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AND WHY DO THEY HAVE TO STAB HIM NOBODY DOSE THAT TO ALEX WINTER POOR ALEX I WILL SAVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[captiveperformer]

Alex Winter was way ahead of his time. This show has an elastic yet abrupt flow. You chase every dark conclusion at breakneck speeds. The characters are so intense and fun, that they rival the nonsense driven, dark, & clever twists. You see this ...in his movie Freaked, which to this day, remains one of my favorite films of all time.

[GasmaskAvenger]

lol Battle of the Bands

Celebrity Deathmatch before Celebrity Deathmatch existed

[TheRilesFiles]

I love Alex so much. I wish they would bring this back.

[crazymcfobo]

The intro made my heart have an orgasm.

[leppard50]

Cool! The Rock Accountant. I love that skit!

[leppard50]

"But, Mr. McFee . . ." LOL

[MattiesX2]

Awesome Show

[bigJBfangirl14]

DANG! i luv alex! =D

i wish he still acted. he was GREAT at it. well, atleast he still puts his ideas into movies as a director! :)

[SmileOnADog]

You know I thought I dreamed that this show existed. I can remember the burrowing bishop and that Alex Winter was on it. So funny. MTV used to have some great programming.

[kuhkuhyeah]

don't forget the state

[ginsunh]

Funnier than Mad TV ever was.

[hootyhaha]

This is just ONE of the 2 shows I liked on MTV. I hate MTV for what it's become. But THe Idiot Box, and Buzz Kill were the only 2 worthy shows. The rest should have stayed music videos.

[Jonnwesley2008]

that's the bald guy mike from the seinfeld episode where they back in their cars and won't move

[Devconn88]

I'm ripping these to my ipod if thats ok

[markofan05]

how do u do that? i could never figure it out.

[Devconn88]

go to zamzar past the url choose what format u want it in, type your e-mail and send

[Shippingshit]

wow, nothing like this is ever on MTV anymore.

It's all reality TV shows about rich rappers.

MTV should be changed to RTV, for Reality Television.

[SavCub]

MTV should've changed to Shit TV

[watermelonzombie]

id go stan XD haha. tv has failed so much now compared to this =[

[coldbarefeet]

I just love Alex Winter and his smile~ :D

[karmapolice06]

Eddie was a hero.

[bryanferryfan]

Alex Winter from St. Louis hell yeah Eddie the Flying Gimp ololololol

[leechdom]

the asprin commercial, its that one of the main pirates from the carabien movies? him and the one with a wooden eye allways goofen around.

[portlandcrazyslow]

I havent wipped out my MTV shirt since like 95. Now I'm ashamed of MTV even when I just flip by it channel surfing!

[ConnDevi]

Anyone here remember the State?

[daveysavvy]

i remember when idiot box premiered...the cutting edge of comedy....10 o'clock on fri.'s...followed by "totally pauly"...two of the best shows ever on mtv...jesus,what mtv is today is nothing but garbage.

[DeimosSaturn]

Truer words were never spoken. Holy shit on a shingle, MTV's last good show was Jackass, and even that wasn't too great.

[suvz06]

Dirty sanchez was much better than jackass i reckon (fewer less brain cells with no limit to how much pain they endure)

[southboundcinema]

I taped this show when it premiered. It's even better without the music videos. Dig that vintage MTV font over the Boo Yaa Tribe! I'd buy a DVD of this in a heartbeat. If they can replace the music for The State to avoid paying record companies, they can do it for this show, too. SAAATAAAAAN!

[Reiko7176]

This show deserved a bigger audience. I laughed my arse off at every episode and still recite skits with my sister.

[Hailey24Swope]

This keeps getting better and better. Trust me Alex Winter is the bomb in all episodes and it would be really cool if Alex was that much wackier in The Lost Boys

[baguetteisthebest]

ahhh...he.he.he.

[killerwolf02]

ah, the days when MTV didn't suck...

[portlandcrazyslow]

here here!

[JackRussellTerrier2]

I loved this show, it reminded me of the Ben Stiller Show, only a bit weirder. I would really like to know how they did that animation at the begining.

[turdburglar27]

it's all stop motion claymation... from the guy who directed Sledge Hammer video by Peter Gabriel if I remember right.

[steveasat2]

"Slegehammer" was directed by Stephen R. Johnson. "Sledge Hammer!" was a cop as tough as Lockjaw, but not as bright. Any record of what music videos were played between sketches on the Idiot Box?

[steveasat2]

Actually, now that I think about it, the style of the intro is a lot more like Peter Gabriel's "Big Time" video. Also produced by Aardman, but anyone know who directed it?

[JackRussellTerrier2]

There were periods back in the 90's when MTV didn't suck. These day's it's been taken over by unimaginitive videos, Bam Margera, Andy Milinokis, and shows aimed at spoiled slutty conformist teenagers.

[gnarkill87]

"When she found out what I did for a living, she was all over me like a post-it note! (raises eyebrows)" This show is so entertainingly (<-don't know if that's actually a word or not) random. Alex Winter is rly underrated.

[checkerphil]

THE best show ever! Thank YOU!

[JohnnySwitchblade]

WOw...Alex Winter must've been on some heavy shit...This is really weird and cool!

[agabug]

I love the Idiot Box. Thank you for uploading this!

[LaDracul]

These were the days...now they just run crap like "Laguna Beach".

But come on, it's LOCKJAW!!!

[elbastardsanchez]

This show was so incredibly awesome. I was pretty young when it was on and I'm glad to see it's quality holds up to my memories. "Eddie" was always my favorite, put me in tears of laughter. Thanks for posting this. If I could have any series released to DVD it would be this, way ahead of it's time, a shame it didn't last.

[Aladan57]

I guess I wasn't the only one that taped everything on VHS is the 80's and early 90's. hehe

[Pizzazz80]

Oh, THANK YOU for posting this! I loved this show! :)

[wckedmnkey]

Oh my god dude. I have been waiting forrever for someone to post this stuff on youtube. Where did you get the episodes from?

[turdburglar27]

Hey, glad to help. Had em for years. Check out www.freekland.com for more stuff on the Idiot Box. Later

[cadmiumheights]

Thanks again soooo much for posting these rad videos! This show was the best thing on tv!
