      It's funny... I cried laughing when I saw it when it aired, but I still find I have the same reaction. So many shows have such canned jokes, but here are guys reacting in real time to something ridiculous, and it's somehow ten times funnier than a lot of stuff people put a lot of effort into.

    I thought I was the only one who laughed my ass off at this. The more sideways a sketch is, the funnier Dave gets. I got the impression the writers may have had some difficulty pulling decent stuff together, then just threw it on his desk anyways knowing Dave (and Paul) would make it gold. This would have been a dud in the hands of someone that's not naturally funny.

    Sometime around 1989, Dave showed a photo someone sent in of a guy at their workplace who they thought looked like him. It got big laughs because the resemblance was uncanny, mostly due to the gap in his teeth and hair that looked like the Gulf of Mexico. Just ask Don to check his database. It would make a hilarious addendum to this great bit!
