Years ago, back in high school, a good friend of mine and I would have nothing to do on a Saturday night, given that we’d wasted all our money on drugs and drink the night before. He’d ask me over and we’d just hang out in his parent’s basement when they were out of town, smoking dope, goofing off and blasting Pink Floyd on his brother’s stereo – which we were expressly forbidden to use (but it was such a great system, we couldn’t resist).

As the night wore thin, we’d turn on the television around one o’clock on Saturday and watch “The All Night Show“. The All Night Show was a great Canadian classic right up there with “Hilarious House of Frightenstein”. The premise was that a security guard and cameraman would take over the CFMT studios after everyone else went home and show a pot pourri of old television shows, perform inane skits and chroma-key lips over celebrity photographs. According to the IMDB, they invented this ubiquitous talk show gag. Chas Lawther played Chuck the Security Guard and his trusty co-hort Ryerson Dupon (a disembodied voice – we never saw him), the cameraman, was played by Errol Bruce (He also directed the show). At that time, before the cancer of “reality” television and Lawther’s unknown status, we couldn’t tell if it was a real security guard or not. (Okay, we were young and impressionable.) Jim Carrey apparently even did “other voices” for the show when he wasn’t super famous…

Regardless, it was one of the coolest shows we discovered back then, my first exposure to “Outer Limits” and an all around wild idea to us at the time. Staying up late for it was a bit of a trial, but it was usually worth it. Anyway, I found this wacky advertisment from the inside back cover of a Sears catalogue.

BuCkSaTaN™:
Is there anyone who ISN’T a web designer these days???
We’ve all sold out and the world is little more than people making shit to sell shit.

So that we can make money to buy shit.

(3:00:17 PM) BuCkSaTaN: Campbell’s Chunky… mmm mmm good INDEED! They should do a commercial with two guys completely fucked from a night of carousing – then the next morning (well, afternoon really) they have a nice hot bowl of Chunky Soup…

Or his buddy has “Brand X” and throws up…

(3:01:38 PM) gjuddy mcmudd: and then while the other buddy is in the bathroom, the first buddy fills up his (the other buddys) bowl with the vomit and tells him it’s chunky soup and no one notices…

Ahhhh Joe Spinell – one of the greatest character actors ever. Period.“Joseph J. Spagnuolo was born on October 28, 1936 in Manhattan, New York City at his family’s apartment on 2nd Avenue. Spinell was a tough guy on and off screen all his life. At age 12, he first acted professional when he appeared as a extra in the play Hello, Dolly. During his teen years, while still in high school, he acted in various plays on the New York stage, on and off Broadway, eventually earning a place in Joe Papp’s Shakespeare Festival Theater. In 1960, he parlayed his stage work into a performing contract for MGM where it was suggested that he change his name to Joe Spinell to make his name easier to pronounce. For nine years, Spinell worked with the group, which was also known as the Theater of the Forgotten, which also put on plays in prisons for the inmates. His minimal salary for his stage work forced him to hold down other jobs to make ends meet. Those jobs included working as a taxi driver, a post office clerk, and a liquor store clerk during Christmas holidays.”
