Episode 18 was a "Great absurdist bit.."

Ep. 18 Julian Burns with Tom Waits and Brick – TOM WAITS! F**k yeah! Julian Bond was a Georgia State Senator. Not someone who hit much of a plateau. But it’s cool. A great absurdist bit involving a masked psychiatrist, and Gilda Radner talking to a commercial announcer. Far left field bits. Delicious. More Bad Cinema! Leonard Pinth Garnell has become my favorite reoccurring bit. This should all be shown to Freshmen film students. A very racially charged episode, with the best bit being Mr. Mike meeting Mr. Reemus, and says “Moral? There is no moral, just random acts of violence.”

FAQ
Q: MooPig, Why bring this up now?

Anwers: As we roil toward the end of '08... it occurs to the staff here that SNL episodes back in the beginning were knowingly Absurd, but now we have moved into a realm of unknowingly Absurd.

Q: So?

Answers: It is an observation... reveals how suburbanites relish in what they, as we staffers too, cannot actually be part of.

Q: What the Hell are you about here, MooPig?

Answers: Besides asking myself questions and also answering them? Okay, let me describe the plight of white flight America suburbanite-ism this way. For instance did you know that in a rising water flood that garbage dumpsters float like barges atop the brackish backing up storm sewage?

Well, they do. As water rises, because further down-stream is blockage, other surprising things happen. Motors everywhere cease to drum out white noise as electricity breakers [hopefully] close circuits. Industrial noise ceases and the dumpsters begin to float. Do you think those welders who made those dumpsters knew that they would be as effective as Noah making his Ark?

Q: So?

Answers: Well, Tom Waites lived in a dumpster in California near LA. Like we said once before: "Genius needs no introduction."
