I couldn't for the life of me remember what it was a parody of specifically, just Jerry Springer-esque shows.


Also didn't know this, but I wouldn't have started becoming aware of CC until 98ish.

Heh, and I'm old enough to remember Geraldo Rivera and his broken nose showing up on the cover of Newsweek after taking a chair to the face. Good times!

One of the great little details about this scene? Watch when Weird Al first opens the door to walk out of the fake house. It opens from the wrong side, the side with the hinges painted on, not the doorknob. Just one tiny reminder that these guys are clueless.

I didn't catch that until maybe the fifteenth time I watched the movie. Just an instant classic. I actually watch it if I'm feeling down or had a bad day at work. It's like a chocolate-Prozac milkshake. :-)
