Mr. Bill is back

In a Subway commercial.

What is funny is Mr. Bill is helping them make bread at the subway and it is getting rolled out.

I used to work at subway. We never used fresh dough- it was all frozen turds that thaw out and then get baked.

Mr. HandS or it didn't happen.

you know something i love?

the bliss of not having the slightest idea when someone brings up ads/commercials into conversations.

fuck, it doesn't seem like it can be something that can bring so much ease but it really does!

i thought you wuz talking about clinton

like he puts his bread in monicas pussy.

The Mr. Bill Show

Mr. Bill is the clay figurine star of a series of short subjects shown from 1976 to 1980 on Saturday Night Live (SNL). The "Mr. Bill Show" was a parody of children's shows.
Mr. Bill got its start when Walter Williams sent SNL a Super-8 reel featuring the character in response to the show's request for home movies during the first season. Williams became a full-time writer for the show in 1978, writing more than 20 skits based on Mr. Bill.
Each Mr. Bill episode would start innocently enough but would quickly turn dangerous for Mr. Bill. Along with his dog, Spot, he would suffer various indignities inflicted by Mr. Hands, a man seen only as a pair of arms (played by Vance Degeneres[1]). Sometimes the abuse would ostensibly come from the mean Mr. Sluggo, another clay character. (However, Mr. Hands did most of the violence himself, because Sluggo would tell him to, i.e. "Mr. Sluggo says to...".) The violence would inevitably escalate, generally ending with Mr. Bill being crushed or dismembered while squealing, "Ohhhh noooooooooooooo ..."
Characters: Mr. Bill, Mr. Hands, Spot, Sluggo, Miss Sally, Mr. Bill's Mom & Sluggo Clones.
The character's popularity spawned the 1986 live-action movie Mr. Bill's Real Life Adventures, which did poorly at the box office.

I'm sorry for destroying yr zen state.

I'm talking about reasons to watch TV.

Also they show the same 5-6 commercials it seems during a hockey game.

and no, aside from a few freaks who rollerblade and like going to the dentist a lot, and a few "leagues" at indoor mall ice rinks, not much hockey around here.

i saw mr. bill's real adventures in 3rd grade and i loved it. i probably won't at this age.

FUck! That rules, man. I fucking love Mr Bill.
They used to air the first few seasons of SNL (the best seasons) late night in the summer, and I got sooooo wet over Mr Bill and Jane Curtin (for some reason she is so attractive to me...)

Mr. Bill makes you wet?

that's kinda gnarly.

Now will Toonces the driving cat ever get a show?

I hope so.
