![](../vidcaps/dinochoke.jpg) Stuff and Nonsense Daniel Bernhardt (Tool) was discovered by the same guy who gave Jean Claude Van Damme his start in film. Daniel can also be seen in the "Matrix: Reloaded" as Agent Johnson (whose big scenes come during the "traffic fight").
Riff Explained "Kim Wilde could do a video here" Kim had a hit in the 80's with the song, "Kids in America". That foggy, dark scene with the boxes looks like one of her early videos."Chuck Wepner's point of view" - Crow. Chuck was a journeyman boxer who once went 15 rounds with Ali. Riff is said when screen turns red. You see, Wepner was known as the "Bayonne Bleeder".

Former hooker turned Nun aids a runaway tool, Jean Claude Gosh Darn, in his battle against forced perspective dinosaurs. This wasn't one of my favorites when it first aired, but I watched it again recently and like fine wine it has aged well. Nice riffing includes shots launched at the big hungry guys -You'll laugh out loud when one of them falls on the "Tool"- and a pew-full of Church base quips - Crow has our Nun getting angry when the Vatican doesn't pay its phone bill and Servo has her wondering if Jesus was a kickboxer - The movie itself offers many improbable moments for the guys to work with: Like our Nun and her scrapbook of shame, Fred Buroughs, Tools 'on again/off again' bloody scars, Robert Z' Dar as a swollen Freddie Mercury and the directors love of empty boxes. Funny Host Segments give us Droppy, the Water Droplet; The discovery that Mike is 8 times a lady and Bobo made me laugh during the dumb "Missile launched at the SOL" sketch. Good, solid humor through and through.
Host Segments Intro: Crow tries to figure how many times a lady Gypsy is. Segment 1: Pearl conduct's tests on the robots. Segment 2: Tom makes legs for himself and challenges Gypsy to a kick boxing fight. Segment 3: M&TBs thank Pearl for not killing them, interupting her attempt to kill them. Segment 4: Crow is Droppy, The Water Droplet. End: Mike has a giant chin. Bobo & Brain Guy plan a music tour but Pearl gets in the way. Stinger: Warrior loses his shirt.
