Hi. I'm JoeJackson.

Now, with my son Michael out the country,
who am I supposed to borrow money from... Tito?

I don't think so.

I need to maintain
my high style of living.

That's why we're having
the Never Neverland sale.

You'll never find a bargain like these.
Everything gotta go.

Come on, boy. Bring your behind.
[Chuckles]

Now, take this llama, for instance.

This little beauty costs
thousands of dollars in a big city zoo.

But, see, down here
at the Never Neverland...

you can walk it off the lot
for just . .

That's right, . .

Fur's so soft you could ride 'im butt naked!
Michael did!

Get that out my face now!

Come on, boy.
Bring your behind. Come on.

Need blank videotapes?
We literally have thousands.

These home videos had to be
bulk erased to avoid prosecution...

and now we pass
the savings on to you.

Go on now!

And while you're watching your home movies,
how about some popcorn?

[Laughs]

The Elephant Man's skull
makes a great popcorn bowl!

"I am not an animal!"

Come on, Marlon,
bring me that box, man!

How about some children's clothes?

These used to belong to
Michael's little monkey named Bubbles.

But he's dead
and this stuff is priced to move.

Look at these cute overalls.
Look at this here sweater.

Look at this cute little pair
of satin underdrawers...

Wait a minute.
These are La Toya's.

Now, go on, get out of here.
Go on!

Come on, boy.
Come on, come on, come on.

You got a skin problem?
No problem.

We got cases and cases of fade cream.

Also great for removing birthmarks
and incriminating moles.

Look here.

Are you havin' trouble sleeping?

Check out this
hyperbaric sleeping chamber.

No reasonable offer will be turned down.

And it's got other uses, too.

Say you got a crazy daughter won't keep her
damn mouth shut, writin' all them damn books.

Locks from the outside.

And it's soundproof too!

Get down here in the next minutes
and I'll throw in La Toya absolutely free.

Better hurry, 'cause minutes of air
is about all she's got left.

Get your hands off there, boy!

[Announcer]JoeJackson.
He beats prices like he beats his kids.

Hey, did you hear who
our substitute teacher was today?

Yeah, old D.A., the relief pitcher.

Great. We're gonna have some fun today.
I heard his arm has no feeling in it.

Let's come to order.

Sorry I'm late.

Mrs. Bailey isn't feeling well today,
so I'm going to be your substitute teacher.

My name is Mr. Armstrong.

Okay.

And that's spelled...

All right. Now, from her lesson plan,
I see you were working on world geography.

Uh, right? Am I right?
Yes, young man?

Mrs. Bailey usually writes the day of the week
on the board as well.

Yeah, the day.

She always does that.

Ah. Well, I wouldn't
want to break tradition.

Okay, uh...
[Groans]

All right!

Okay.

Mrs. Bailey also puts down
what she had for breakfast as well.

- Yeah, breakfast!
- She always does that.

Well, that's kinda strange.

Okay, well, I had some pancakes...

Hey, wait a minute.

You guys have to wake up pretty early
to pull the wool over my eyes, buddy boy.

Now, let's get down to business.
Okay?

We forgot the pledge of allegiance.

- [Murmuring Agreement]
- We always do it.

- You guys still do that, huh?
- Yeah.!

Well, you come up and lead it then.

Okay, everybody, get ready.
Put your left hand over your heart.

Ready?

Ready?
[Snickering]

Hey! Hey!
Hey, hey.

It's the right hand over the heart.

You little snot-nosed brat!
Sit your butt down.

- You don't gotta twist my arm!
- [Class Laughing]

Okay, who can tell me what
you were doing in class yesterday?

Yesterday, Mrs. Bailey was
pointing to locations on the map...

and we would have to guess
what country it was.

[Boy]
We always do that.

Oh. Okay.
All right.

[Grunting]

Okay.

Okay, who can tell me
what part of the world this is?

- Burbank!
- [All Laughing]

- No!
- Is it the Dead Sea?

No. The Dead Sea
is over here.

How about the North Pole?

Come on, everybody knows
the North Pole's over here.

All right, settle down.

Mr. Armstrong, why do we have
to study geography anyway?

Well, to understand more about wildlife.

Take that bullfrog, for instance.
That comes from Africa.

- What bullfrog?
- Where?

- Over there.
- [Frog Croaking]

Where?

Gimp!

I heard that, son.

Hey!

Sorry about that. Could you give me
back that eraser, please?

I didn't say throw it!
You kids are terrible!

- [Jeering, Shouting]
- [Shouting]

That's it! That's it,
you little troublemakers.

I didn't want to have to show you
this side of me, but you've forced my hand!

Hyah!

Okay, now, next time
it'll be your heads.

Okay, now, turn to page
in your grammar books.

[Class]
Yes, Mr. Armstrong.

[Announcer]
And now a few minutes with Randy Rooney.

- ♪♪ [Theme]
- [Clock Ticking]

I've been doing a lot of
thinking about stereotypes.

Did you ever notice
how many there are about black people?

Take sports, for instance.

When a black man knows a little something
about basketball, they call him a natural.

But when a white guy knows
a little something about basketball...

they call him
the owner of the team.

And how come white people are so anxious
to have the heavyweight champ?

You know, a "Great White Hope."

What do white people
need hope for?

They already have everything.

And why is it whenever something goes wrong,
they call it black?

When the stock market crashed,
it was Black Monday.

When you're kicked out of a place,
you're blackballed.

And the worst disease ever
was called the Black Plague.

And by the way, what would
the White Plague be? Tennis elbow?

And did you ever notice when a white guy
gets a good job, he gets a good line of credit?

But when a black guy gets a good job,
he's "a credit to his race."

Try and buy a couch with that.

You know, it's not like there's not already
enough credit cards out there today.

There's Visa,
American Express, Discover.

Only thing I discovered is,
I can't get one.

And what about Mastercard?

I guess I'm just a little too sensitive
about the word "master."

When I go shopping, I want to
think about picking out a shirt...

not picking cotton.

And did you ever notice that every store
seems to have a white sale?

I guess it's a good thing
they don't have a black sale.

Last one I heard of,
Kunta Kinte was marked percent off.

[Siren Wailing]

That's the police going by.
They sure are a helpful bunch.

You know, their job
is to protect and to serve.

But what they don't tell you is that
usually they're protecting their identity...

while they're serving you up
an ass-whuppin'.

And why do they paint
those cars black and white?

I guess to match the passengers.
Blacks in the back seat and whites in the front.

Now, that's not the rule.
That's just another stereotype.

Like the one about black men
being so well-endowed.

Well, maybe that's not
such a good example.

[Announcer] This has been a few minutes
of dissing with Randy Rooney.

Miss New Jersey, what would you do
if crowned Miss 'Merica?

I would stop all the childrens
from being hungry...

all over the wide world...

by being in parades
and wearing a crown on my head.

Okay, Miss Paris, France,
what about you?

- Ooh-la-la! I would also want to...
- [Knocking]

- Hey, Deronda.! You up there?
- No! Nobody's here!

- Then who is that talkin'?
- My mother.

That ain't your mother.
That's you, girl. You up there.!

What's the password?

Deronda Hightower
didn't wet in her pants.

- She just spilled some lemonade on herself.
- Okay.

Although nobody knows where she got
a glass of lemonade from in math class.

Shut up! Shut up!
Shut up! Shut up!

Okay. Okay, okay.
Let's play cops and rappers.

No, we're playing office.

- I don't like to play office.
- How come?

Because I end up bein' the janitor.

I'll let you be
chairman of the blackboard.

Okay, I can do that.

- I want a job.
- Okay. What are your "qualications"?

I got a bachelor's decree
and a master's decree and an N.B. A...

and I was an astronaut
on the space "shuffle."

Good. You can type.

Wait a minute.
I got more qualities than that man!

How come he gets to be a 'zecutive?

- 'Cause he got one of these!
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no! Okay, I'll type!

Type, type, type,
type, type, type.

Child, you lookin' so good today.

Do you have on
your Little Mermaid underwear?

Oh, none of your beeswax!

Hey, that's satchmo harassment!

That's not satchmo harassment.
This is.

Who put this "public" hair
in my apple juice?

Eeew!
That's not no public hair!

Hey, let's Xerox your behind.

You can't see my behind.
You're married.

But my wife said I work on her nerves.
Why don't you loosen up, baby?

I don't wanna have a 'fair.
And I refuse to play second griddle.

Well, I promise you I will leave my wife
and I will marry you.

Okay.

Yeah!

- Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
- Ooh! Ooh! Ooh-ooh-ooh!

- Whose Tonka truck is this?
Whose Tonka truck is this?
- You animal, you!

You bring out the woman in me.

Now go leave your wife.

Oh, no!
This we need to rethink.

This is insanity.

We have to be adults here.

Stop the madness!

Okay, I guess now
I'm gonna be the "mystery-ist."

So you gotta give me some credit cards
and set me up in a 'partment...

with a "kajuzi" and cable TV!

Dang, girl, you just a nose-digger.

Cable TV?
You don't even love me.

You ain't nothin' but an H.B.O. Ho.
