The Man Who Would Be King Of The Popes

Of all the skits they did on SCTV this was my favorite. The three of them are just so over the top. I committed this one to memory and would do it on command for my friends. The trick is to be mellow doing the first part and just go full retard with the Richard Harris part. This one is a keeper. I can just imagine them sitting around writing this sketch and not being able to keep from laughing while performing it.

Oh, Man, I loved that Richard Harris imitation that Dave Thomas did!

I haven't had a chance to stop by in a while and when I do, what do I find? You've gone and changed your banner picture! When did this happen?

I like it! Mind you, I liked the other one as well. Do you do your own art work?

No, that new header was a commission I had the wonderous Becca create for me. I am in the process of collecting all the 'Cave of Cool' illustrations I can from artist friends of mine. I loved the old header too but it was up for six months and I am free to switch back and forth.

The funniest stuff in the world. I love Dave Thomas & Catherine Ohara in this sketch. How they kept from laughing is beyond me.

They did such brilliant comedy on the cheap back then.
