I always though prop comics sucked because of Carrot Top, but only now do I realize that Carrot Top sucks because of Carrot Top.

I'm not a fan of prop comics but this was to damn funny. I spoke with Joel for a few minutes a at a signing for Cinematic Titanic and I brought up Agent J and Danny O' Danny and just loved it. What a great guy.I also loved Joel on SNL He definitely had his own style.

I sure do miss the Candy though. RIP big John, thanks for the laughs.

Anyone else notice Joel right at the beginning head bopping to the jazzy theme?

@VerilyTY Oh, you mean the word where something happens unexpectedly? Yeah, I teach that. I know exactly what it means. I didn't expect it to work like it did, because Joel did not anticipate the ability to turn one's television to the side (or in this case, laptop). That's what made the joke funny originally when this first aired. Do you really think he expected people to turn their television sets over? Maybe you should look in your dictionary.

@Plotspider Look up "irony". It doesn't mean what you think it means.

Ironically, when you turn your laptop to the side, the batman stunt actually does work.
