[Man Narrating]
Day . The food ran out two weeks ago.

Our only hope for survival was
to consume the other victims of the crash.

Then, this morning,
we saw a figure on the horizon.

At long last,
could this be our salvation?

Oh, thank God
you've come to help us!

That's right!

I've come to help you trim down
to a slimmer, healthier you!

- Richard Simmons?
- Oh, my goodness!

What are you doing?
Give me that butt!

You might as well go eat
atJack in the Box.

Ooh!
I got a hair in my mouth.

That's what you get
for eating Italian.

- I've been eatin' brains myself.
- Haven't you heard?

A mind is
a terrible thing to taste.

I brought you something that's
going to change your lives.

The Richard Simmons
Plan A Meal System.

Here's how it works.

You eat a person from economy class
for breakfast... yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum...

someone in coach for lunch... ooh...

and a sensible,
first-class passenger for dinner.

Oh, ta-ta.

- I like dark meat.
- Then you're going to have
to find passenger .

- See how easy it is?
- [Biting]

Ow!

Food can be your friend.

But this food was my friend.

That's the spirit!

Now, get off those patooties.
It's time to exercise!

I think I'm alone here.

I thought you were a big,
strong soccer team.

Hey, I've got an idea.

Come on!

Let's play a game!

You better try
to stop me!

I'm gonna score!

[Gasps]
Tony!

Oops.
I almost forgot.

You shouldn't play
with your food...

not when
you can exercise with it!

Look! I found a Thigh Master!

[Grunting]

I can feel my buns
turning to steel.

Gee, Richard, you're really startin'
to look good to me now.

You bet I am.

- Nice and lean.
- Thanks!

- Succulent.
- Stop it. I'm blushing.

- Delicious.
- Uh-oh.

Someone's combining fruits
with their proteins.

[Screaming]

[Man Narrating] We never
forgot Richard and all he did for us.

He was the first hot meal
we'd had in weeks.

Hi.
My name is Loomis Simmons.

Have you ever spent hundreds
of dollars going to the gyms?

Have you spent thousands of dollars
on fancy home exercise equipment?

I hope so,
'cause now you can spend...

a little bit more
on the new...

Loomis Simmons Power Stretch.

Now, these other machines
have lots of movin' parts...

hundreds of parts
that can break.

The Power Stretch
is simplicity itself.

It look like an ordinary spring,
but how could it be?

Springs don't cost this much.

Now, let me show you
a few of the exercises you can do...

with the Loomis Simmons
Power Stretch.

There's the bend...

the upward bend...

the downward bend.

Now, don't confuse these with the
traditional bend. That's completely different.

And, most important of all,
there's the wobble. Ooh, yeah.

See, this will trim all the fat from
all up under your arms and your stomach...

and it'll keep you
from gettin' cancer.

Now, there are
different exercises in all...

though I did have to repeat
a few just to make 'em come out even.

But, heck, you don't have
to take my word for it.

Listen to what a few of
my satisfied customers have to say.

My breasts are firmer
than they've been in years...

thanks to Power Stretch.

After long day chopping suey...

the Power Stretch
is perfect exercise.

[Shouts Mock Chinese]

I'm with them. You know,
a lot of people say to me...

"Loomis Simmons, why can't I just
go to the hardware store...

buy me a spring of my own
for a lot less money?"

And I say, "Shut up!"
Let's face facts.

You're not gonna stick
with any exercise program.

So why buy somethin' that's
just gonna take up the whole room?

But the Power Stretch,
all you got to do...

is stick it in the closet
and forget it's there.

The Power Stretch is $ . .

But, if you order now,
I'm gonna include my special...

Loomis Simmons
Subliminal Weight Loss tape.

All you gotta do is play this
in the background all day...

and you will lose the urge
to eat unhealthy foods.

[Loomis On Tape]
Yo, fatty. Big, salt pork butt.

[Mocking Pig Snorting]

This tape alone
is worth thousands of dollars.

But I'm not done! I'm not done!
I'm goin' crazy today!

If you order today,
I'm gonna give you free of charge...

the Power Mini-Stretch.

Yes, that's right. You use this
when you're walkin' down the street...

on the bus, after work,
anytime, in your car.

That's right.
Have the body you always dreamed of.

Or, at least, have a spring.

Well, my psychic friend said the w*r

Oh, I think the Bosnians

Well, it's funny you should ask, Jay...

because I recently went to Bosnia...

Let's take a look.

Hi, girls.
Tell us your secret fantasy.

That's great.

It's the second highest
source of protein around.

- But it tastes just like the first.
- Mm-hmm.

Now, we have looked at lots
of different workout tapes...

- but none of'em really work for us.
- Mm-hmm.

Like that one...
that Cindy Crawford workout.

[Together]
Hated it.

- They should have called it "Cindy Crawfish."
- Ooh!

- Then there was
Jane Fonda's Ultimate Workout.
- Mm-hmm.

- Hated it.
- Ha... Yes, we did.

They could have just called that
A Fish Called Fonda.

Then, of course, there was
little d*ck Gregory's diet.

You know,
I always do what d*ck say.

I think you supposed to.

Now, before you begin
your workout...

you always got to have you
a good stretch.

- Go on, Blayne, show 'em.
- That's right.

Most people don't know
how important the neck is in fitness.

So we're gonna begin
by doing some neck stretches.

And one, and two,
and three, and four.

And one, and two,
and three, and four...

- Blayne! Blayne! Blayne!
- And five, and six...

- What?
- Why you keep lookin' to the side?

Because I gotta make sure
ain't nobody's coming up behind me.

Ooh!

Oh, well, now it's time
to move to the bench press.

Now, weight liftin'
can be very dangerous.

That's why you always
got to have you a spot.

Garçon!

Ooh, I gotjust five words to describe that...
scrump-dee-il-ish-us.

- Mm-mmm!
- I need to get me one
of these spots for my bedroom.

Now, the bench press really...

is for to build up
your upper-body muscles...

makin' 'em ripple
with all your "strungth."

Okay, Serge,
go ahead and spot him.

You know, the view up from here
is heavenly.

Come on, Blayne.
Use all your "strungth." Go ahead.

Come on.
Feel the burn. Come on.

I'm flamin'!
Get it off me! Aah!

Oh! Oh!

Could you put this
in my car, please?

Gee, I am parched.

You know, it's always good to replenish
all your fluids any way you can.

Oh, water boy?

Please, sir,
I'd like some more.

And no workout would be complete
without workin'...

- The gluteus maximus!
- Come on, guys! Come on.

Come on, boys!

Okay. So, what you wanna do first
is warm up the buttocks muscles.

Down on the other side.

I love this. I'm in control.
Here we go.

And one, and two,
and three, and four.

- Double-time!
- And one, two, three, four!

- Hold. And release.
- Whoo!

Okay, and you always wanna end
with a great, big old stretch.
