[Django5198]

Apparently this kid actually improvised the whole thing!

[allofthetrash]

does anyone remember a parody of this in a kids movie where someone makes a sculpture out of pudding

[myeclecticmind]

Ok i always wondered this....what are those log looking twinkie things on their dinner plates? LOL HUGE chicken Nuggets?

[p3on]

what the fuck did you film this on your tv

[materialgirl8707]

it's okay that there's a fly in her son's mashed potatoes?! :)

[materialgirl8707]

Homer Simpson did something like this with is mashed potatoes when he wanted to be like Krusty the Clown! ;)

[fivefinger100]

looks like hendrix was here (voodoo child first verse lol)

[FRANCIS51680]

I saw bigfoot once

[Zazzy234]

I liked this when Jim Carrey did it.

[silarnon]

@Zazzy234 Jim Carrey is a talentless hack. Mention him not.

[TheGwynnSmith]

@silarnon Thoes are fighting words. Jim Carey is amazing. He may no be your kind of comedian and you mmay not have his kind of humor but you are in fact wrong if you say he has no talent. Simply wrong. If he didn't have talent he wouldn't be the successful man he is.

[materialgirl8707]

@TheGwynnSmith Jim Carey is not amazing, he's lame and he's not that funny!

[silarnon]

@materialgirl8707 Hear hear.

[TheGwynnSmith]

@materialgirl8707 To you...But millions of other people beg to differ.

[mrcakey]

2:49 - okay my husband's gone crazy but at least I got my twirly dildo

[poopz]

you know when you look at something and its crazy but then you look at it again in another way and its not so crazy?

[girella82]

Basta! Io vado all'università per clown!

[TOHOFIEND54]

I can't tell you how many times we did "this mean's something" with the mashed potatoes at dinner growing up....never forgot this scene!!! LOL!!!

[dewbunny110362]

very memorable scene.. never forgot it

[anothernicemess]

it was also in Weird Al's "UHF", he even quoted verbatim, "This means something, this is important..."

[davi420]

That's it! You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to clown college!

[Fibah]

oh so thats where the simpsons thing is from, i knew they couldnt have come up with something that funny themselves

[69elchupacabra69]

Bill Nye the Sciene Guy also made a parody of it. hahaah

[Hammstein]

It's only funny because of where it's from. That's what a reference is.
