three things I have not been able to stop watching

#1 Post by franktangredi » Sun Dec 21, 2008 10:54 pm

Since I belatedly discovered YouTube this year, there have been three clips which, at different times, I have been unable to stop myself from watching repeatedly. The first two are in the nature of 'blasts from the past':

All three qualify as blasts from the past for me. I was introduced to Tom Lehrer back in high school, and my best friends in college were also fans. "Agnes" is one of my favorites.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

YouTube is great for finding those old cartoons you loved as a kid. How could they have cancelled The Ant and the Aardvark??????

Because it wasn't funny?
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

Beast thought I was funny, and we never made it out of the first season....

But at least they reran the same shows over and over again for about 10 years.....

Wasn't the aardvark supposed to sound like Jackie Mason? I forgot who the ant was supposed to sound like...
