Outlaw is the story of a guy named Cabot -that's... "Cabot" mind you- who picks up a lumpy pig like man at a bar; and then drives through a time/space portal. At the other end of this portal is a land of sword, sorcery and silly hats; Where Cabot is soon thrust into battle against Jack Palance and the evil queen Laura, while teamed up with a blond midget.
     Though an unsteady effort, with pockets that didn't knock me out. When inspiration struck, it struck hard. M&TB are at their funniest when zeroing in on Cabot's blond side kick. Whether mimicking his voice or making observations on his appearance, these quips were a riot (I busted a seam when they noticed his resemblance to Joey Heatherton).
     Other fonts of humor include the excess of "Cabots" spoken ad nauseam at the films beginning, and the blinding wealth of buffalo shots that both amuse and horrify.
     The skits are all pretty good. I love the way this episode opens; with boys being boys, Crows introduction of the Mads ("The twin airbags are calling"), M&tB's as "thick buttery slabs" of Fabio and Frank 'n Forrester's lame time machine. Though the Palance book skit was a bust (and strangely, the Jack jokes were the weakest in the theater as well), Sailor Mike and a spritely song tip the scales on the positive.
