Mr. H

[TaTgurl1003]

hysterical hamhocks indeed!

[culpit]

Very nice tribute to Mr. H, who seems to be the leader of the Letter People. He was the one to introduce the Letter People to Monty Swell and the one to help Mr. C and Mr. K with their problem.

I just don't think my mom liked the song. Too avant-garde, I guess...:)

[guysmileyiv]

Mr. H will be played by John Stamos in the 1974 version and Andy Samberg in the 1989 version.

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, due to illness, the part of Mr. H, usually played by John Stamos, will be played by Lyle Lovett.

His hair may be horrible, but this tribute definitely isn't...*high-fives you*

[efil4own1]

I love it! Hubba hubba, hey hey hey, that's one hum-dinger of a tribute, to the man with that horrible hair, HMMM!

Now if only we could get John Stamos to play him on Broadway...although my first choice for him would be Brad Oscar.

[Lycanthrope777]

I've always loved Mr. H, possibly because I happen to have horrible hair myself. (When I was in kindergarten, my hair looked exactly like his except it was brown, and now I have mostly short hair with a really long sidebang, so you can see where I'm coming from...)

I'm actually writing a story (written as a script, no less, so it's hilarious that you mention Broadway) that begins with Mr. H shoving hamhocks up Mr. N's nose...

[efil4own1]

I can't wait to see THAT! Incidentally, I once wrote a bit where Mr. Q stuffs a toilet plunger up Mr. N's nose so he can have some peace and quiet.

As far as Mr. H and his terminal bad hair day...when I draw him, I give him some (very inauspicious, but those who look at him closely can see them) earlocks, to tie in with the Jewishness of his theme song.

[Lycanthrope777]

At least Mr. Q had a reason in your story; in mine, Mr. H was just doing it out of pure meanness. A toilet plunger? What was he trying to do, kill him with the smell? (Would you do anything bad to me if I drew that? It's too funny to pass up...)

Nice attention to detail on the Mr. H drawing (seriously, I'd really love to see these things...). I went to a Catholic kindegarten, so there was no mention of the Jewish sound of his song, but now I think it's really interesting.

[efil4own1]

It wasn't really mentioned when I was in kindergarten either (and I went to a public school)...my grandparents heard the song and mentioned it!

[Lycanthrope777]

Your grandparents heard the song? That's interesting; were you lucky enough to own the record or something? The only time my family ever heard the songs was when I randomly sang them (and Mr. H was one of the ones I sang most often- my mom started to find it really annoying).

[efil4own1]

My mom called my school to see where they got the record and ordered it! :) I vividly remember playing it at my grandparents' house, and the lady who often watched me in those years whenever my folks went out (who was like a third grandmother to me), who was from Eastern Europe, loved them as well. She loved Mr. H and Mr. L, but couldn't stand Mr. X! ("Vat is dis mex, mex, mex, mex, mex...")

[Lycanthrope777]

I remember you saying something about that on the Mr. X video. (I swear, your comments are giving me the majour deja vu; I remember everything I read...) Even if I owned the record, I was in kindergarten in the early 90s, so even though we had a record player at school, we didn't have one at home anymore...

[efil4own1]

Just thought I'd re-iterate a few things in case no one was actually reading my comments. :) Anyway, my mother was another one on the 'disliking Mr. X's song' bandwagon, mainly because she thought it was too monotonous, and that Mr. X sounded like a robot.

@efil4own1 Why couldnt your mom stand mr x
