The Uncle Floyd Show
If you've never heard of The Uncle Floyd Show, you must, must buy this DVD (or borrow it from me). It's supposed to be a kids' show but it's more like an extremely low budget, barely scripted SNL with puppets and kids' drawings on the walls.
In one sketch, "Liberal vs. Conservative," the camera cuts between a bearded, professorial liberal making some valid point and Floyd in a checkered suit, yelling nonsense like "That's what you are! Bimbo Schmimbo!"
D used to watch this and got the DVD for Christmas, but the irony is that this show was filmed in West Orange, New Jersey, where I grew up. The studio was a couple of miles from my house, and I had never heard of it.
We just watched a clip and it's even funnier the second time around. Floyd does a great Don Goomba (Godfather spoof) and an even better Julia Childs. One sketch is in fake Polish. I don't get why this isn't a huge cult classic. It think it once was, but it's still funny today.

He's also a great piano player. Would you like some chocolate moose?
