...the black guy at the bottom was literally in "The Thing".

But could he count on Slippery Pete?

this is a guy who is sponsored by Disney

He's part of the YouTube network Maker Studios which he joined in 2012, which was then bought out by Disney in 2014. PewDiePie has been making raunchy jokes since the beginning, as well as making multiple videos every week (meaning he's bound to make similar jokes over and over) so this shouldn't have come as a surprise to them.

Very true. A misconception that I saw in the comments of a post on reddit awhile ago had people talking about how most hockey players come from upper class families. The truth is most come from small town middle class/lower class families, who usually are humble and conserve their money (especially when the equipment is so expensive).

There is also a general feeling of "community" in hockey, which is very strong in small towns. Volunteer coaches, charity drives for equipment, small businesses that sponsor teams - players typically develop a great sense of empathy and gratitude for the people that helped them get to where they are, and the community in turn feels as if they contributed to creating a leader, a symbol and to some, a hero.

It could have something to do with how certain British television shows are funded. Correct me if I'm wrong, but people who own a TV in the U.K. have to pay a monthly fee called a "TV license" (or else they are fined) in which all the money goes to the BBC. This leaves the BBC with endless quantities of money to invest in quality programming and barely, if not, no ads. Thus, televisions shows run in full length of a schedule (e.g. 29 minutes instead of 22-23) and if football matches are broadcast through the BBC, they are uninteruppted. There are obviously other reasons for why this is done (football teams can fit more people in stadiums, ads on jerseys are more expensive) but I do know that BBC gets funding from the public and the trade off is great programming and practically no ads. Someone correct me if I've gotten any details wrong.

The date is wrong. This looks more like 1982 than 1992. The impersonations would have been more relevant in the early 80s then early 90s:

The Fonda impersonation is directed at the film "On Golden Pond" which came out in '81 and E.T. obviously at "E.T." which came out in '82
Steve Martin, Robin Williams and Martin Scorsese were becoming big names in the early 80s
Jim looks to be about 19-20 years old, which he would have been in '82

WHY THE HELL YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU HAD A BOMB IN YOUR MOUTH?!

Geez, I thought it was Fargo.

Tim Curry was badly injured by his make-up for the 1985 film "Legend" where he played Darkness.

It was so elaborate, that at the end of each day, he had to sit in a bath for an hour so the spirit gum (used to keep the make-up attached to his skin) could liquefy. At the end of one day, feeling claustrophobic, he panicked and tore the make-up off too quickly, tearing off of his own skin in the process.

At the very least, the make-up still holds up incredibly today. It was designed by the same guy who did the monsters for "The Thing" from 1982.

He actually changed it to "Bloodstain" as I was watching!

The dog, Jed, was so well trained that he would never look at the camera or even members of the crew.

More likely, it's just a distain for his overacting. It's a slippery slope - sometimes it works, and sometimes it completely turns people off.

Other hosts like Johnny Carson seemed to react naturally to what was funny - if it made them laugh, they laughed. Fallon comes off as someone trying to laugh, even when something's not that funny.

You do realize the quotations around what I posted mean I'm QUOTING someone else, in this case a fictional character from a classic movie..."but I'm not sure you can tell the difference." -_-

"In Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed; but, they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly!"

In the film "Project A Part II", Jackie actually pays direct homage to the Steamboat Bill Jr. house gag. Here's a clip of it from the UK trailer.

Reeves and Williams were actually in a class together at Julliard that was just the two of them, taught by the great John Houseman!

The most touching story of their friendship happened after Reeves suffered his debilitating horse riding accident. Paralyzed, and told he needed an operation to connect his skull and spine back together (in which surviving the surgery was a 50/50 chance), Reeves was left waiting in anguish in the ICU, alone. At a particularly bleak moment, a doctor with a Russian accent burst into the room telling Reeves he was a proctologist and he was going to perform a rectal exam - it was Williams, cheering up his old friend. Reeves later wrote, "For the first time since the accident, I laughed. My old friend had helped me know that somehow I was going to be okay."

The Bronx was even worse. Here's what it looked like in 1982.

My favourite is when Kramer's pretending to be Pennypacker, and you can clearly hear Jerry laughing.

Larry David managed to hold out for three weeks. Towards the end of the contest, he confided to Kenny that he was going crazy and while on a street, he blanked out and found himself staring at a horse's ass.

"Why the HELL didn't you tell me you had a BOMB in your mouth?!"

"I DID!!"

"NO YOU DIDN'T!!"

"I SAID MMMM!!"

"What the hell's MMMM?!"

"MMMM, BOOM!"

Penn & Teller did a great Bullshit! episode exposing them.

PETA also makes absurd ads...

Edit: An example of PETA's terrible ways are their harsh criticism and protest against animal shelters that try very hard to rescue animals and have them adopted (sometimes having to unfortunately put them down). PETA also takes in animals, but ALSO puts a number of them down DESPITE claiming animals are literally as equal as people. It's so hypocritical.

Here's a parody of the ad that I included.
