lfmasdfhasdfoasdhfalskdhf I FINALLY GOT A HOLD OF THE 1992 EPISODE OF I LOVE THE 90'S. Didn't need HJ Split or any crap like that so I was immediately good to go for a whole 41 minutes of nostalgia mockery. I watched these religiously when they were first on and remember very clearly a whole bunch of stuff from this one... so I'm a little baffled as to why my memory chose not to preserve the most important part!! Like literally at all, it was totally new to me on this night, whereas everything around it I remembered like it was last Tuesday.
Clearly I'm talking about when, at exactly 25 and a half minutes in, right after the Ren & Stimpy part, there appears a glorious segment devoted to none other than MURPHY (with special guest star dan q). totally srs, I Am Not Making This Up, etc etc etc. And I was expecting it to be a whole bunch of totally negative mocky mock BUT, I was, for the most part, so pleasantly surprised! and I vocally keymashed the entire time.
I am so in the mood to do a little tiny spam to tide me over so I can work on the other important ones, and I was like, "too weird to spam something so short? ...NAAAAAHHHHHH." SO I'M GONNA SPAM THE FUCK OUT OF THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, preserved for all eternity because I guess these are going to be released on DVD at the same time Murphy season 2 is coming out, which...
WELL OKAY READY?!
I'll take that as a yessssssssss. GOOD ANSWER!
"The pieces are falling into place and I'm about to BUST this thing wide open!"
LMFAO THAT EPISODE... does not even have a single thing to do with Dan Quayle, jsyk.
It is, however, the source of this fun moment:
SO FIERCE. Unrelated, though. Let's press on.
awww yeah
JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM
PAHAHAHA Iii don't know, this one just makes me laugh for some reason.
"Murphy Brown was theeeeee anchor of aaaaaa popular news magazine show?"
wow good deduction how'd you figure that puzzler out
also FAVORITE OPENING omggg
PILOTTTTTTTT
PILOTTTTTTT AGAIN and corky does not know how to pronounce shiite!
"She was like a Mary Tyler Moore," the fabulous James Michael Tyler says. And then adds, "With balls."
TRU.
FAX.
AND THEN "LITTLE MISS CAN'T BE WRONG" STARTS PLAYING. Iiii DIED. see, THIS is what I like to see, people who know what the fuck they're talking about when they talk about this show! yes!
HIT ME WITH THAT PILOT LOVE ONE MORE TIME! annnnnd this outfit, iiiii still don't know.
"For once there was a woman who was not just giggly and bubbly; she was actually really smart."
KEEP TALKIN TO ME, SISTAHHH. god I was totally expecting everyone to just bust out with, like, LESBIAN LESBIAN LESBIAN like they did with Cagney & Lacey in Strikes Back!! but NO JUST THE OPPOSITE MOTHERFUCKERSSSSSSS. we have people legitimately singing her praises in here! and that does my heart so very very good~
"And was a great, uh, role model. Until she got, uh, knocked up out of wedlock."
LMGDAO I think you mean an even better role model.
oh, heeeeere we go. time to board the fun train.
SEE? FUN!
HAL SPARKS! HOLLA AT A BALLAAA. Him, Michael Ian Black, Rachael Harris, Mo Rocca, that Guzman guy, the Rachel Q lady from something-or-other, the black lady (LMFAO WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER HER NAME GODDAMNIT) and the one woman who does the cheese commercials now, I lived and died for their commentary. ACE. best parts of the whole thing, full stop.
Anyway so Hal goes, as he starts chuckling, "In 1992, Dan Quayle came out and said, 'It's horrible! Murphy Brown had a child out of wedlock!'"
and then Ally McBeal's dancing baby comes out to mock the Quaylester. why doesn't he just go marry Sarah Palin already; they're like some kinda star-crossed OTP or something.
OH MY GOD SINGLE MOTHERS?! WHAAAAT?! THE WORLD'S GOING TO END HOW CAN THEY POSSIBLY SURVIVE WITHOUT A DAD OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDD
"'It's shameful that she had a child out of wedlock!!'" Señor Sparks continues. Then he puts his hand up to his face and asks, "Think she shoulda had an abortion?" And he makes a "DURRRRRRPPPP?!" face and the music screeches to a halt.
cue "You're Unbelievable".
hey dan if you were a pokemon which pokemon would you-
wait
no
don't answer that
i already know
"Dan Quayle talked about Murphy Brown kinda like she was a real person." Yeah, and it's STILL FUNNY. in moderation of course. but I assure you, I haven't laughed at this stuff in many months; thanks for curing me, ILt90's. thank you.
lmao are those... cheerleaders. does dan quayle... have cheerleaders.
"Murphy Brown!" He declares. "Listen up!" um actually no, she won't listen up, and here's why: YOU ARE STUPID.
"Maybe Dan Quayle didn't know that Murphy Brown was not really her name..."
"It's so lame! He can't even spell 'potato'! What was his problem?! Turn off the TV and go back to school!"
oh dan. you're so dreeeeamy
Later on, Jay and Silent Bob do their thing:
hahaha oh lord that picture again
buzzer noise!
okay, everyone. pay attention. Murphy Brown is now named...
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. hate to break it to ya, but this is opposite day, so what you REALLY meant was:
