For 30 years I've been saying, "Hmm, this means somtheing," in a Kermit the Frog voice and couldn't remember where it came from.

And DMC12guy - Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU! I haven't seen this in a good 25 years or so, and it is still a masterpiece of slapstick comedy, even from an adult pov.

@Lordoofious The voice actor is Corey Burton, who went on to be one of the greats - among other things, he is the official Disney voice for Captain Hook, since Hans Conreid(sic) died some time ago. Seriously, if you've watched animated anything made in the last 20 years, you've heard Corey Burton.

I have this on a VHS tape from Warner Home Video called "Hardware Wars and Other Film Farces." The paradies on the tape are "Hardware Wars," "Bambi Meets Godzilla," "Closet Cases of the Nerd Kind," and "Porklips Now." Nerd is my favorite. I saw it decades ago on HBO.. Although "Porklips Now" is a classic.

STAY AWESOME! :)

@SewardWriter Yes.

[Lordoofious]

Why does the narrator sound like the Disney Captain Hook?

[MrSdplissken]

this should be on a dvd

OMG! Thanks so much for posting this! I've been looking for it for years! Every time I eat mashed potatoes, even at the Thanksgiving table, I start singing "Gonna build a mountain!" Everyone always thinks I'm nuts (which I am)! But at least now I can show them my inspiration!

[SewardWriter]

GONNA BUILD A MOUNTAIN!

IN YOUR LIVING ROOM!

GONNA BUILD A MOUNTAIN!

AND IT'S GONNA BE KEEN!

My poor parents had to deal with me singing this every two minutes when I was a wee thing. (And without this sentence I have 314 characters remaining--COINCIDENCE?)

Wow I remember this! I thought it was funny and cool.  :)

HaHa. I just noticed this time, at 4:38, he blows his flashlight out.
