- Hello.
- Hi.

Uh...

I'm entertaining upstairs,
and I ran out of coffee.

Well, it just happens I've got
a pot brewing right now.

Why don't you come in
and have some?

- Thank you.
- I hope Tester's Choice will do.

Tester's Choice?

Mmm. So smooth.

Is it hot enough for you?

Hot and creamy.
Just the way I like it.

Can I have another cup?

[Laughs]

You said that three cups ago.

Oh, my gosh.

I forgot about my guests.
They'll be wondering where I've been.

- Well, don't you want another cup?
- No, I really have to go.

Thank you.

And great coffee.

[Doorbell Rings]

- Hello, Dan.
- Hi.

- Can I come in? I brought some coffee.
- Not now. We're having company.

Oh, I see.

You just drop by and drink my coffee,
and then toss me aside like so many used grounds?

You've got
responsibilities, Dan.

- What are you talking about?
- You, me, my apartment.

Or were you just some neighbor
stopping by to borrow coffee?

- Exactly.
- I won't be ignored.

Maybe you should try the decaf.
Excuse me.

Oh!

Just some crazy.

Okay.

[Man]
Coffee so good it can't be ignored.

Good morning, honey.

It will be as soon as I have
some Tester's Choice.

Did I hear someone
say Tester's Choice?

[Panting]

I can't make it.

I can't take

Wendle, you're it, man.

You're the last man
on earth.

Do you realize
what this means?

Well, l...
Let me check.

That means that
there is one man...

for every three billion women
left on earth.

And that one man is me.

That means that I,
Wendle K. Templeton...

am finally gonna get busy!

Yeah, that's right!
I'm gonna get busy!

All right. It's me! Yes!

Get off me! Yeah!
Whoo-hoo!

All right!

[Laughing]

Hey, everybody. I think I just saw
a man headed in this direction.

[All Yelling]

A real man?
Are you sure?

[Woman]
I can't wait.

Here he comes!

- [All Squealing]
- Party time.

That's right.
Come and get it.

- Wendle K. In the house.
- Ooh.

Right.
I'm the last man on earth.

I'm the last fish in the sea.

The last weenie on the grill.
Who wants some? Come get some.

Oh, baby.

There hasn't been a man around here
in a very long time.

- Oh, oh.
- And, you know, Wendle, there are certain things...

- a woman could use a strong man for.
- Yes, I'm right here, baby.

- What are you doing tonight?
- Anything you want me to.

I don't think you want to do
any of that, Wendle.

- Aw, shucks. Vanilla.
- You know, here's my phone number.

Why don't you call me?

Listen. I just want to
get to know you better.

- Let's just get started right away.
- Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Could you open this jar?
And when you're finished with that...

I have a little garbage
that needs to be taken out.

Oh, no. He won't have time for that.
You've gotta mow the lawn...

- and you've gotta trim the hedges.
- Hey, what about my car?

My tires need rotating.

[All Chattering]

[Women Laughing]

Is that the cutest, tightest little old butt
you've ever seen in your life?

I mean, what a cute
little tushy.

I think I've had
a little too much booze.

Hey, Wendle.
Bring it over here, sweet cakes.

Bring it home to mama!

You know, you all have no idea
how to treat a human being.

I've done everything for you.
Lfix your cars, I mow your lawn...

and still none of you
will even sleep with me.

A man would never do that. He would
at least have meaningless sex. At least!

Aw! Somebody made
Wendle a little mad.

Wendie, Wendie...

don't get yourself
all in an uproar, honey.

Here's a hammer, honey.
Go build yourself somethin'.

You want to know what I think?
I think you all should...

Who cares what you think?
You're a man.

Just turn around and let us
see that little booty!

Hey, Wendle.
You know what you need?

I'm gonna tell you
what you need.

You're right, you know.
You need a woman.

Hey. Hey. Does anybody here
want to do it with Wendle?

[All Laughing]

Yeah, you all laugh now, huh?

Laugh. Right. Laugh it up.

One day your biological clock
is gonna start tickin'...

and you're gonna need
Wendle K. To do the stickin'.

- That's right.
- Hey. Hey, wait a minute.

Hey, he's right. I know I want to have
a baby one of these days.

- Well, so do I.
- Have a baby sooner or later. I mean...

Yeah, all right.
Now who wants to see some butt?

Here, Wendle.
Here's a paper cup.

- What's this for?
- We're starting a sperm bank.

[All Laughing]

Hey, Wendle.
It's showtime!

[Man] Cable access channel
presents Men on Film.

- Hello. I'm Blaine Edwards.
- And I'm Antoine Merriwether.

[Together]
And welcome to Men on Films.

Today we gonna look at
films on videocassette...

from a male point of view.

That's right. And tonight we're
brought to you by a brand-new sponsor...

Hungry Mens Dinners.
Mmm, mmm.

Now, how do you handle
a hungry man?

I wrestle him down
and take advantage of his weakness.

First off, my favorite love story
of all times...

is All the President's Mens.

Now this is a story
about outing...

in which
two male reporters...

has to investigate the goings-on
in the White House.

- Mm-hmm.
- Ooh, there was just too much intrigue.

But the real hero of this movie
is a man they called Deep Throat.

See, he was the one
that led them...

to the end of the trail,
where they find Tricky d*ck.

- Like they were gonna find something else.
- You need to stop.

So, anyway, my favorite love story
on video is Deliverance.

- Mm-hmm.
- Now this...

This is a film about
love and camping...

but the movie really doesn't
start off until...

they meet up with them
little dirty hillbillies...

who teach these mens about how to rough it
in the great outdoors.

Mmm! Just make me want to squeal
like a pigs. Ooh-eee!

My goodness.

I also like Hrs.

I'm telling you.
What with Nick Nolte...

handcuffed to that cute little
chocolate brown Eddie Murphys...

Mmm! Two mens from
different cultures...

learning to love
one another...

and depend on each others
for "strungth."

It was like a all-male version
of Jungle Fevers.

I've got just two words
to describe Another Hrs.

Scrump-tious. I'm through.

Which brings us to
our next category, musicals.

Now, my favorite musical
is Grease.

With that young little
John Travolta...

and all them little
James Dean look-alikes...

slicked up in leather and wearin' that,
um, uh... all them chaps...

to try to act butch,
you know.

I just... It's just too bad
they spoiled that film...

with that cold fish
from Down Under.

Uh, Olivia Newton-Fish-John
or somethin'.

'Cause when I look atJohn Travolta,
let me tell you, child...

grease is the word.

Oh, you know what?
I have a consumer alert for all our viewers.

- The film Black Stallion
is not about Denzel Washington.
- What?

Mm-hmm. It's just about
some stanky old horse.

But I'll tell you one movie
that did live up to its title.

- That's Shaft.
- Mmm! Shut your mouth.

- But I'm talking about Shaft.
- And I can dig it.

And that brings us
to our next category, fish stories.

- First there's Little Mermaid. Hated it!
- Hated it!

- Then there's Splash. Hated it!
- Hated it!

And finally there's
Thelma and Louise.

[Together]
Double hated it.

I mean, who wants to see
two scruffy old white heifers...

in a stank,
dirty convertible...

screechin'
and caterwauling?

- [Scoffs]
- You know, I couldn't wait till
they drove off that damn cliff.

Vete, vete.

- Now, listen. If you want some real excitement...
- Mm-hmm.

I can recommend some videocassettes
in the action film genre.

Oh. Like, you mean, uh, uh, like...
like Pee-wee's Big Adventures?

No, I saw Pee-wee's adventure.
It wasn't that big.

Moving on.
[Chuckles]

But, you know,
I particularly enjoyed...

the action and excitement
of theJames Bond films.

Oh, me too.
I especially like, um...

Thunderball
and Goldfinger...

- and my favorite, Never Say Never.
- Ooh.

And let's not forget
Octopussy.

[Together]
Hated it!

Which brings us to
the time in the show...

when we discuss our two favorite films
on video of all times.

Now, for me, it's got to be
the movie Big...

starring Tom Hanks as a man with
a little boy inside him.

I believe we can all
relate to that.

My favorite film
of all time is Psycho.

I particularly love
the end...

where Anthony Perkins puts on
his mother's dress, and he said...

"This is me. This is who I am.
Let's take a shower."

And that old Alfred Hitchcock...
his name alone drives me psycho.

[Chuckles]

So, for all the fine films
on videocassette...

let's give it our patented
films on video snap.

Two snaps and a rewind.

Join us next week when we'll be
talking about The Dirty Dozen.

- Isn't that with that old husky, duskyJim Brown?
- Mm-hmm.

Is he still throwing people
out the window?

I don't know.
He used to play football.

I bet he did.

Bye-bye.
See yas.
