[whistling nonchalantly]

- Dad, I have a question. - sh**t.

- Have you ever been drunk?

[paper rustles]

- Not that I can remember. - That's good!

[footsteps recede, sinister music starts]

- What could I say? Of course, I've been drunk.

In fact, I'm almost always drunk.

My daughter can never know my true identity. I'm...

[dramatic sting] Super Drunk!

[paper crinkles, dramatic sting]

Owwww!

[suspenseful music]

By day, I'm a twice-divorced mattress salesman,

but usually around noon every day, I transform into...

[dramatic music] Super Drunk!

[cap popping off bottle]

[slurring] You too, Buddy Boy!

Being drunk gives me the super-human ability

to fight with the bravado of ten men.

Robber!

Un-hand that bicycle!

[thuds against wall]

[hands squeak on poll]

[Super Drunk] With the aid of my friend, the Bartender,

we make a dynamic team.

[dramatic music] - We've got justice...

[Super Drunk] [slurring] Hey, you there!

[running footsteps approach] Stop! Stop what you're doing.

- Yeah? Who's gonna stop me?

- Super Drunk, that's who.

Take a look.

You think you're so fen... denim...

[zipper whooshes]

- There, power's fully activated!

- Okay, back to business, Burglar Boy.

[tearful] Although, why do we have to fight?

Why can't we just be friends, man?

You know, just friends.

Come on, just gimme a little hug.

[hard kick] Ah! - Ooh!

- That was a ruse!

Heh, heh, heh.

- Thank you, Super Drunk, you've saved my life.

And made me just a little bit sad.

[Bartender] Come on, Super Drunk, I'll buy you a sh*t.

[Dave] [southern accent] Now, the thing is,

this was Miles Davis' saxophone.

[Kevin] Really? Miles Davis actually played this?

- Well, no sir, he didn't play it,

but he did, he did have possession of it briefly,

until he threw it at a roadie while screaming,

"I play the f*ckin' trumpet!"

- I'll give $ for it.

- Sweet! Deal.

- Got anything else? - Uh yeah, well you know what,

I saved the best for last. - Yeah, yeah.

- Yeah, now this here, I got in the s,

but I think it's probably reaching a real sweet value,

about now. This here, sir,

is an authentic, vintage Kevin McDonald skit.

- Do you have a Scott Thompson?

When his sketches were banned,

the price went through the roof!

- Um, I'm not a rich man, sir. I...

all I got's this Kevin McDonald skit,

but it's a real good one. It's got all the air marks

of a classic Kevin McDonald sketch.

It's got that uh, the crazy high voice.

- Oh, the high voice. - And uh...

the-the finger wagging for no apparent reason.

Oh, and he plays himself in it, too.

- Yeah, he did that a lot.

- Yeah, he did that a whole lot.

- Okay, then, well, let's check 'er out.

- Oh, you're gonna love it.

You're gonna be real happy I brought this in.

[tape clunks, machine whirs]

[Man] Hey, Kev, haven't seen you since your divorce.

Heard it went badly.

[canned laughter] - Yeah, I... lost everything.

Even my house.

All I have left is my gorilla suit.

I live... in my gorilla suit.

Do you know what it's like bringing a girl home

to a gorilla suit?

- Gee, that's tough. [canned laughter]

- I'll say! [tape clicks off]

[Kevin] Oh, right. This sketch, yeah.

Unfortunately, it isn't very popular anymore.

I'll give you $ for it. - Oh, I'm sorry, sir,

but that's gonna have to be a hard pass.

I mean, I paid $ for it, years ago.

- Yeah,

there's a lot of Kevin McDonald sketches in the world,

and the problem with this one is it's uh,

classified as "Gooney".

- Gooney was all the rage. And that skit,

well, it went up in value, up to about $,!

- Yeah. - But I guess I got a little greedy

and I figured I could ride that Gooney train all the way home,

if you know what I mean. - Hmm.

- And then, you know, then that bubble burst, and ever since,

I've just been holdin' on to it and...and hopin'.

- $. My final offer.

- Oh, but you just said $! - I say lots of things.

For example, now I'm saying $.

- That is just an insult! I mean...

I mean, Kevin McDonald?

Kevin McDonald's one of the most dynamic

and dangerous comedians of our time.

Gee, that seems like a weird thing for me to say.

- I don't think it's weird, at all. Please continue.

- All right, well you know, I just think, sir,

that it is wrong that Kevin McDonald's

been relegated to the Gooney file.

I mean, did you know that he did Shakespeare?

And that doesn't feel right, either.

- [high voice] I'll say! He also did a David Mamet!

- Hold the phone.

Wagglin' finger and crazy high voice.

Are you Kevin McDonald?

- Yes! - Well, that must mean I'm...

- Yes! You are currently...

in a Kevin McDonald sketch.

- Wait a minute. [mirror clatters]

Ungh! [sets wig down heavily]

I'm Dave Foley!

[Kevin laughs] - Kevin!

[laughs excitedly] - You promised you'd never

do this to me again. - Sorry!

- And why did you make me Southern?

I can't do a Southern accent. - I know!

[laughs] - [exasperated sigh]

You know what? I'm outta here. This is ridiculous.

[Kevin laughs hysterically] [door rumbles]

- All right, Dave storms to the door,

only to find it locked. [laughs hysterically]

- Fine, Kevin, let's just get this over with.

How does this sketch end? - There is no ending.

I have nowhere to go!

You can't do this to me! I have a family!
