Skits: Hillarious

I knew it was a good sign when even Pearl gets a laugh out of me; "Mike, Crow, Snack...". She's referring to the opening skit where the robots are using an onion blossomer on everything in sight, including Servo's head! Crow's line, "Plunger, yum" received a boisterous response. So this episode gets off to a great start.
     Our movie is about a guy who gets hit in the noggin with a moon rock. And, as often happens when a moon rock hits someone on the skull, he turns into a lizard.
     This film is the perfect vehicle for a msting, one that leaves itself open to all kinds of abuse. With Johnny Longbow and his stew, lots of wooden acting from our leading man & lady, a really cheesy looking monster (created by Rick Baker) and a fish lipped guy singing "California Lady"... the boys can't help but lob more than a few zingers.
     And the dialog, at least early in the film, teases out more than a few risquè riffs. Add in the bonus of some good film related host segments and you have yourself a top notch episode.
