One of my favorite skits, Mr T. crying at the end always cracks me up. My niece and nephew have learned the whole skit. My nephew’s impression of Mr. T crying at the end about his rare male pattern baldness is hilarious
Is it even possible that Key & Peele are still underrated? Sketch by sketch, no show has been more consistently great.
Maybe Chappelle’s Show comes close. SNL has a lot of memorable sketches, but think of all the ones that just fall flat every episode.
K&P: Consistently Great
The Mr. T Be Somebody or Be Somebody’s Fool VHS was one of the key pieces of media for my friends in high school. We must have watched it a few times a week for years. They may have been the least effective PSAs for keeping kids in school ever to be invented.
Having never seen Gremlins 2 I had to look it up after seeing this video.
I love this bit. I had to double check the Mr T record and make sure there wasn’t a song about hair. Everything about this perfectly mimicks the original sound.
It’s pretty great how many of these old sketches have been officially uploaded to Youtube now. I never watched the show with any regularity, so getting to see a bunch of new to me content is great.
The sheer zaniness of the movie itself makes it worth watching, especially when you realize it is the official follow-up to a film that, while still comedy, took itself a bit more seriously. Makes for quite an incongruous double feature.
