Maybe I'm easy to entertain…but already the opening stills of LaRue eating make me ROTFL. These bugged-out eyes…

This episode is unusual because usually "Dining with LaRue" ends with him storming off in a huff…this time, however, he seems to be pleased. Until he passes out, that is.

check out Dave's improv moment & how Johnny LaR almost loses it...
"May I now order for youuuuuu? To help you?????"

Have you noticed that Dave Thomas is in ALL the 'Chinese' or 'Japanese' roles in these SKITS!?? That also tend to be a bit sensitive!

Does anyone recall an early Dr. Tongue? I remember H. Ramis and he was playing an Eastern Indian type and a squirrel ran up his leg? I can't find it yet.
Thanks for the great post.
