Did the writers forget Apu?

Apu - on The Simpsons Babu (or Baboo) - on Seinfeld

In article Chris wrote :

My favorite was when Jerry and George went to the Kwik-E-Mart and got a Super Squishee that was pure syrup, and then Jerry started having hallucenogenic visions and ended up choking, so George stole the neighbor's tractor to go for help but forgot what he was doing and bought some nachos instead and when he got back there was Jerry on the floor in front of the TV with his head turning purple while Maggie just sat there sucking her pacifier. Meanwhile Apu was deported for selling a disease-ridden hot dog.

Now _that's_ "must see" TV !

I must have missed that one!

I believe he was talking about an episdoe of the simpson's where apu is the owner of the quikeee-mart. Babu was the name of the Pakistani Imigrant. "You are a very bad man!"

Oh yeah. I think I saw that, er, those.

Heh he he heh he, you said "choking",

Apu owns the Kwik-ee Mart on the Simpsons. You're referring to Baboo(sp?)

So, you're saying that Baboooo was deported for selling a disease-ridden hot dog? Then that would mean that it wasn't George who tried to kill Mr. Burns, it must have been Beavis who gave the nachos to the guy auditioning for the part of Kramer who stole the raisins! My god, you're on to something!

But I still don't understand why Mulder and Scully were investigating Phoebe and Chandler, because Jerry and Elaine _gave_ them the sponges during the episode titled "The One With Frog Baseball". After all, even though the abductions were performed by Kodos, Kang & Sarek the Preparer, the fact that Butthead was able to use Maggie's diaper as a repellant *should* have closed the case. IMO, of course.

.......................... Uhhhhhhh, THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS! What the hell are you people talking about? And what's with all the cross-posting lately???? I am so confused... ;^)

YEAH! STOP CROSS-DRESSING! Mehehheheeh, uh, I mean cross-posting. Mehhehehe, it sucks!

Wow. There are people all over the internet with a brain that works like mine, I guess. : )

(BTW, Eddie van Blundht just morphed into Jerry. And Elaine's been having some unresolved feelings lately.)

..... Kramer is definitely cool. Do you all remember him from the show, "Fridays?" It was like, more than 10 years ago, very similar to 'Saturday Night Live' - only went a few seasons but was a GREAT show. .....

..... Elaine ... naked... hehhehmemhehheh...BBBOOOIIINNNGGGG!!!!!!!!! hehheh

Yea, I remember Kramer from Fridays (though I didn't remember the name of the show). John Candy was on it too I think. I remember one show with "Kramer" (sorry, don't know his real name) trying on blue-jeans in a shop, and they were way too short on him. It was really funny.

of the show). John Candy was on it too I think. I remember one show

I LOVED the show Fridays, and Michael Richards was my fav on there. I recognized him immediately when Seinfeld started. My fav skits were the ones where Richards played the older brother of a girl who played with Barbies in the little pool outside ... hilarious. Anyone remember those??

I can barely remember 'Fridays', (I was about ten or eleven then), but I do remember Michael Richards doing his 'pill popper' routine. At every stressful situation, he'd juggle handfuls of pills into his mouth while yammering, "I can handle it! I can handle it!". There was also a skit where he had raw chickens dancing to "jumpin' jack flash" (or was it "start me up"?) Very funny.

Yes. Especially funny when he would bit the heads off of plastic army-men, and toss them like grenades. Then he would have them invade Barbie's Dream House and rough her up. He usually ended the war by lighting them all on fire.

The line was "I can handle it...I'm a PHARMACIST!" and the skit was played by Mark Blankfield, not Michael Richards. Still gut-bustingly funny, though.

Most of the "Fridays" cast has had other prominent parts since then. Michael Richards was on a show five or ten years ago, which I have forgotten. The only episode I can remember was where they were trying to steal something by using a lot of ropes and pulleys, like in "Mission Impossible." Mark Blankfield had a hilarious skit in Fridays where he was one of "The Men Who Say Hmm": he would say "mmm" after every word. Sometimes he could really get going good.

That was a "geek" character, who always tried to act hipo when he was obviously light years from it. I remember that sketch with the designer jeans; at one point he's seenon the floor of the dressing room with his legs in the air, trying to get them on. Hilarious!

BTW, Candy wasn't on "Fridays". That was SCTV.

girl who played with

Richards' little boy character played with GI Joe, and at one point set Barbie on fire. At leat I think it was Richards. I remember the line "Mom! He's burning my dolls again!"

The pill popper guy was actually not Michael Richards; I believe it was Mark Blankfield, later of "Perfect Strangers".

uh...anybody remember a show called "Marble-head Manor". it was an NBC show that was run at about 7:30pm i forgot which day... it was part of a set of 5 shows that they ran at that time slot. one show each diffrent night. i forgot what they used to call the line-up (you know, like must-see-tv or TGIF on ABC). anyways, Michael Richards played a goofy gardener on the show. the show didn't last too long and i don't remember much about it (it ran about 7 years ago). anyone remember???

Yes, I remember Fridays. It was a LAme ripoff of SNL. Michael Richards and Larry David were both on it. It backs up my theory that the Seinfeld show is a miraculous example of synergy. Those two came from that crappy show Fridays. Julia Louis Dreyfus started with SNL when it was in one of its many weak phases. Jerry Seinfeld wasn't that remarkable a standup comedian ("it's just so much fluff"). Does anyone remember that HBO special where, in one of the bits, he was a kid in his mom's shopping cart? This was some pretty suspect stuff. Finally, Jason Alexander came from Broadway of all the godforsaken places. Yet from these ignoble origins these five people came together to create what I consider easily the funniest sitcom of all time. Obviously just my opinion.

Yeah, I'm a foreigner. (Mehehehehe)

friends

I like seinfeld and the simpsons but I don't watch friends or x-files anymore.

Yeah, that would be cool. Elaine would get a lot of attention on that part.

Does anyone see the resemblance between homer and butthead's dad?

bigger thingies.

Yeah, those chicks rule! Especially Jennifer Aniston. (I said Anis, huh huh)

Wow, Gillian Anderson gets naked! Awesome, dude. (Where can I get that?)

Crossposting

invade us

It's just that most crossposts actually are invasions from outer space and stuff. <X-Files> Mulder: How long have they been amongst us? Cancer Man: They've been in Siberia in 1907. Roswell 1947, that was the first time we caught them. Mulder: It wasn't an accident? Cancer Man: Let's just say our missiles improved after World War 2. </X-files>

...go away people.

Stop crossposting this crap. Most of us don't watch all those shows.

A one-way ticket from Pakistan to America would cost somewhere around 25,000 rupees, maybe more.

Actually, as a Pakistani, I found the Babu episodes to be wonderously hilarious. There's some writer who's a Pakistani or something, because they have it down to a _tee_. :)

But then again I could be like the Jewish-Catholic Dentist who was attempting joke immunity. :)

I think he was dopped by Jerry when he tricked him into drinking a Snapple.

Remember the classic lines

"Snapple"

"Oh No Toooo Fruity"

Babu from Seinfeld, Apu from the Simpsons. Could be the same voice, though.

Now )that_ would be agood episode. I've been waiting for the conclusion to "Babu's Revenge" for years now.
