Here's one of our Best Of shows, a collection

Thanks for checking us out.

I still don't understand
why you brought me here today.

Well, honey, you're older now and Mama thinks
it's time to show you something very special.

- Ta-da!
- Wow, look at all these names.

These must be the names of people who
donated money to keep the park beautiful.

- Hmm, not exactly.
- Then these must be the , points of light.

No, Missy. These , names are the women
who've slept with Wilt Chamberlain.

You mean there's
a monument to that?

Honey, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
You see that name up there?

- Mom!
- That's right. Me. Me! [Laughs]

Mom, that's great.

- Oh.!
- You never cease to amaze me.

Well, honey, you know...

one of these days maybe
you'll get lucky and you'll meet Wilt...

and then your name
will be on the wall of fame.

Well, thanks all the same,
but, uh...

I've already
been there, homie.

You little rascal.

You don't have to tell me
why them call him The Stilt.

Ah, Minister Farrakhan, I'm certainly
looking forward to the game today.

Well, Al Sharpton, the regular manager
of the baseball team is sick today...

and the owner wants you to fill in.

And it's important that you become
familiar with all the players' names...

especially since some of them
are a little strange.

- Oh, I'm down.
- That's right. I'm Down is sick,
so you'll be taking his place.

- Say what?
- Saywhat's over in right field.

- So who's on first?
- No, Jews on first.

- Says who?
- The owner, Whitey.

- Whitey's on the team?
- That's right, with Jews on first...

Theman is on second, Mr. Charlie at
shortstop, and It's Aconspiracy at third.

- Now, wait a minute. Who's at shortstop?
- Mr. Charlie.

- But, now, isn't that a conspiracy?
- No, Aconspiracy's at third.

- So then, who's at first?
- No, Jews on first.

- Preach on.
- Preachon is pitching.

- Say what, my brother?
- Saywhat's right field. Mybrother is catching.

So, now, Mybrother's catching.

Right on.
So where's Aconspiracy? Preach on.

No, Righton is in left field, Aconspiracy is
at third, and Mybrother is catching, Preachon.

- Preach on?
- That's right, Preachon.

- Amen.
- Is playing center field.

- Say what?
- In right field.

- Says who?
- Whitey.

- Preach on!
- Preachon is pitching to Mybrother.

So, uh, Jews on first?

- I'm down.
- I thought you said he was the old manager.

- No, I'm just saying, "I'm down."
- I'm Down, what? Is at first?

- No, Jews on first.
- So, Jews on first...

Theman is at second, Mr. Charlie is
the shortstop, and then It's Aconspiracy.

- Amen, my brother.
- Center field and catcher.

- Say what?
- Amen and Righton.
Now, that takes care of the outfield.

- Righton and Amen.
- So, where is the conspiracy?

Between Mybrother and Theman.

- According to who?
- Whitey and Jews.

See, this is all the work
of Whitey's and Jews.

Now, I understand Whitey,
but why theJews?

- BecauseJews is also captain.
- Over Mybrother?

- Right on.
- And amen and preach on, my brother.

This is more confusing
than the Tawana Brawley trial.

Johnny?
Johnny, is that you?

Oh, Johnny, it's been so long.
I thought you'd never come back.

- Why, you're notJohnny!
- Yeah, I know.

Tell your story walking, pal, or I'll have
the hotel d*ck up here so quick, you'll...

Look here, babe, you better chill, all right?
You better chill, 'cause I will...

l... Baby, I will brush you to death.

Baby?
Why, no sentimental sap on earth...

would call me baby,
except one person alone... Johnny.

He sent you, didn't he?
Oh, of course. I should've realized.

Oh, what did he say? Tell me everything.
I want to hear every word.

Uh, he said for you
not to call the police...

no matter what you do,
and just forget this ever happened.

Oh, nuts.
I could never forgetJohnny.

Why, I'm the only one in the world
who really understands him.

Oh, take me to him, won't you?
You've got to.

Oh, tell me everything. Tell me what he said.
Tell me what he needs!

Well...

Well, actually, what he need is,
Johnny needs some money.

Money? Why, is that all?
The big lug.

No, not just money.
He need, uh, credit cards, VCRs...

uh, camcorders,
and he been cravin' for this Rolex.

Well, I suppose I do have a few baubles,
a few trinkets, a few shiny souvenirs.

They may seem
meaningless to you...

but they've brought a handful of happiness
to this lonely heart.

Hey, hold it. This ain't one of them
Totally Hidden Video things like that, is it?

Oh, Johnny. I remember the day he left
as though it was yesterday.

He stood right at that door,
and said to me, " Velma...

I'm going out for a dozen roses,
a pack of cigarettes and a quart of gin."

Then he slipped me five bucks
and told me to buy myself something pretty.

I've been waiting here ever since.

You don't have that
five dollars with you, do you?

Oh, take it. Take it all.

Don't you see?
Nothing means anything to me butJohnny.

Oh, I miss him so!
[Sobbing] Oh, Johnny!

[Mock Sobbing]
Oh, Johnny! Oh!

Oh, Johnny!

I'm Oprah, girl. Let it out, girl.
Caller, you say...

- Oh, Johnny!
- Oh! [Blubbering]

Ah, Johnny!

Johnny!

You will take me to him, won't you?
You've got to.

I simply won't take "no"
for an answer.

I'll just get my wrap and be back
in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

Hey, listen. Hold on, sweetie. Look, look.
I'm gonna run and get some roses...

and some cigarettes and a quart of gin,
and I'll be right back for you, all right?

All right, kid.

You don't have to
spell it out for me.

I wasn't born yesterday, you know.

Hey. Here's five dollars.

Go get you something pretty.

That's right, kid.
Go on without me.

It's better that way.
I'll only slow you down.

But give a message
toJohnny for me.

Tell him I love him.
Tell him I'll wait right here.

I'd wait a thousand years.

Oh, Johnny.

I'd wait forever for you.

- ♪♪ [Disco]
- [Announcer] Cable access channel ...

presents Men On Football.

- Hello! I'm Blayne Edwards.
- And I'm Antoine Merrywether.

[Together]
And welcome to Men On Football.

The show that looks at football
from a male point of view.

That's right.
Tonight we're live and uncensored.

- That's right, naked to the world.
- Peekaboo!

Please, stop.

Do you know
we have a new sponsor?

Wilson Sporting Goods...

the official balls of the NFL.

I ain't said a word.

You know,
a lot of people were very surprised to hear...

that we was doing
a special football show.

But we've been fans of football
for many years.

I mean, what other game boasts
such great names like d*ck Butkus?

Or my favorite, Bob Griese.

- Now, isn't he a tight end?
- He was.

Still, there's a lot of things about this game
that could be better, like the uniforms.

[Together]
Hated 'em.

For instance, you know,
I was so disappointed when I found out...

that those numbers on the back,
they were just for identification.

Oh, I know what you mean.
The smallest one I saw was .

And then I saw one that said .
Child, I almost fainted.

[Giggles]

You need to stop.

And you know, I found that those
padded shoulders were just tooJoan Crawford.

- Mm-hmm. And speaking of old fish...
- Mm-hmm.

What about those cheerleaders?

[Together]
Hated 'em.

I mean, what good are they?
Everybody knows that these are mens...

who just look at each others for they
"strungth" and inspiration to do they best...

not some scallop
on the sidelines.

Fuff!

- I don't understand why they bring 'em in.
- Mm-hmm.

And what about this matchup today,
the Buffalo Bills against the Washington Redskins?

Oh, yes!
It's like playing cowboys and Indians.

[w*r Whoop]

Well, tie me up and scalp me,
but I'd be a lot more entertained...

if they were playing
with the Oilers and Packers.

That's a thought.
[Chuckles]

- Now, what's your favorite play
of the game, 'Toine?
- Well, to be truthful...

- Mm-hmm?
- For me nothing beats...

that "resquisite" moment of tension...

right before the play begin...

as the muscular, sweaty football mens
get down on that line of scrimmage.

There they is,
eyeball to eyeball.

They breaths is comin' out
like steam from a big bull's nostrils.

I just got three words to
describe it... de-li-cious.

I'm through.

Uh-oh, I think
I just sprung a leak.

- And speaking of football,
let's bring back thatJoe Namath.
- Mm-hmm.

I'll never forget the time when he put on
those panty hose on national television.

It must have taken so much courage for him
to come out and say, " This is me.

This is who I am. Call me BroadwayJoe,
'cause that's how I do it... the 'broad' way."

- [Blows Whistle]
- Time out.

Now, you got to reverse that call.
Joe Namath is married. Hello!

Now, I'm very confused
about this part of the game.

Now, Blayne, we all know what a red flag
in the right pocket means.

- Mm-hmm.
- But what does a yellow flag
in the left pocket mean?

- Oh, I think those are the wide receivers.
- Mm-hmm.

- But there's so much about
this game that's so confusing.
- Mm-hmm.

For instance, why do they stop a play
when there's too many mens on the field?

- To me, that's party time.
- Because, Blayne...

too many mens,
that's an illegal formation.

Well, if love is wrong,
then I don't want to be right.

Oh, you don't know the first thing
about football.

And you don't know the first thing about lotion.
So anyways...

Oh, you about to seriously work
my last good nerve, ain't you?

Don't get mad, 'Toine.

Is that all you?
[Giggles]

You can show me how to play.
Teach me. Go ahead.

- Okay. You have a ball?
- I think I have one right here.

Come on.

- Now...
- I think I played this one before.

All you have to do is say "hike"
and take the little, blue ball and start running.

But isn't that gonna hurt you?

Take the ball, silly.
Go ahead. Say, "Hike."

[Both Squealing]

Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Where's all the mens that's supposed to chase me?

I don't like this game.

Well, that's our show for this week.
But before we go...

we'd like to salute all the mens playing
the Super Bowl with our special Super Bowl snap.

[Together]
Two snaps and your backfield in motion.

- Good-bye!
- Good night.
