I was 10 and living in Pohakupu when this aired. I miss those days.

[@HiryuBlue]

I'm glad this video brought back some good memories

[@manapuax310]

Thank you! So hard to find the “I’m Local” song! Used to have it on cassette tape

[@jzen1455]

Thank you for sharing this gem of a video! I must’ve seen Best of Delima (and too!) over 100 times and know most of the songs by heart, but seeing his other skits (and slight variations of his famous ones) I’ve never seen is like a spectacular early Christmas present! Mahalo for sending me back through memory lane of my hanabata days! Edit: I just finished watching the Imelda skit, and it’s much funnier than the one in Best of Delima! He’s much more audacious with his ethnic roasts.
