Spitting Image - The 1987 Movie Awards 1/3

[madahad9]

The puppets remind me of the drawing style of the great Mad magazine artist Mort Drucker.

It's too bad Spitting Image never caught on in America. I loved all three of the specials that aired here. They were absolutely hysterical.

[tinzan]

OMG!! THANK YOU!!!! I've been looking for this for ages!!!

[ClumzorZ]

Is that Shatner doing Nimoy?

[MeLoonn]

4:00 lmao XD

[fivebearrugs]

Haha, Queen Elizabeth II is at the nomination lunch!

[fivebearrugs]

Paul Newman playing pool with Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, Robert Redford and Tom Cruise...epic :)

[fivebearrugs]

This aired when I was in elementary school...suffice to say that I now understand all of the jokes :) NBC aired three Spitting Image specials between 1986 and 1987; the other two were "Down and Out in the White House" and "The Ronnie and Nancy Show".

[WorldNews92]

Blimey the David Frost one looks so life-like!

[madandyb]

Are Jack Nicholson and the Alien related?

[SillyPom]

HaHaahhh!! I love it! The running gag of Pacino, Hoffman and DeNiro is still priceless! Ohhh how I've missed this special since the VHS tape it was on in my household died a horrible mangled death in the VCR. *sniff* Many thanks for posting this!

[ilixcota]

Oh, my goodness. THANK YOU for posting this. I have been looking for this episode for years, but was so obscure I couldn't find it anywhere! I have been trying to explain to people for so long that the Alien's name is Gavin - and no one believed me. Now I have the proof! Thank you again, again, and again! This brings back the best memories ever.

To be fair, that was when the Star Trek movies were all coming out rapid fire. He didn't really have TIME for anything else.

Still, it is rather amusing.

[kazimann]

Oh man, watch this stoned! You'll be on the floor laughing!

[jstrewth]

This preempted Mr. Belvedere in your neck of the woods?

Talk about luck. ;)

[MrWilde2010]

I loved this & remember it being on tv, so much fun

[Myndir]

David Frost's puppet is certainly realistic, though less annoying than the real life version.

[MAXX518]

thanks for posting! I enjoyed watching this when it originally ran in the 80's . 

[somenglishguy]

who is it at 6:48?

[allnotathome]

@somenglishguy

William Hurt

[somenglishguy]

@allnotathome thanks

[cblproduction]

@somenglishguy william hurt (much younger years) with sally fields

[YesWeCantaloupe]

Most of the puppets are spot on except Tom Cruise who looks like Micheal Jackson. Tom has huge teeth IRL there's comedy gold there.

[TheAsthecrowflies]

Thanks for posting saw this when i was a kid and had a VHS copy i accidentally recorded over, very funny stuff. even as a kid i thought this was awesome

[ZombifiedPreacher1]

OMG I haven't seen this in more than 20 years , I'm glad I woke up early and started watching VH1 Classics Totally 80's , when the video for Land of Confusion by Genesis came on I remembered the puppets and this show !!! AWESOME THANKS FOR PUTTING THIS UP

[zscalekitty]

Love it! This is a better copy than on my VHS. :-P

[SuedeKnight]

Thanks for posting this. My dad has a copy of this on Beta, and needless to say, it's been a while since I've seen it. I'm old enough to actually appreciate the jokes now. :)

[tich302001]

I used to watch Spitting Image in the 80's and thought it was hilarious no one was safe from being lampooned. Thatcher government was lampooned everyone was lampooned at the time. I think they start making the show again and lampoon the so called famous people of today would be hilarious I could just imagine them lampooning the self important Simon Cowell and Kate and Pete. Bring back Spitting Image.

[jcamts]

The character at 6:00 who say "More money mister Spielburg" and "there's no more room sir" is the voice of Princible Skinner in The Simpsons

[amaniscalco4]

This is incredible! I have been looking for this for years now. Is there any way of getting a copy of this?

[prckay]

thanks man

do you have mroe CHRO-TV videos

[AndrewJimScott]

Finnaly this plays for me.

The other times it just didn't load.

[AndrewJimScott]

Wow this is rare and havn't seen it.

Hasn't been uploaded since nedoflanders.

[XavierTheBobFriar]

Thanks for this, kind sir, you're a knight. This is probably one of the rarest Spitting Image specials out there - even auction sites and trading posts don't hold up
