Episode 0409 - The Indestructible Man


 


This web site requires use of the Macromedia Flash software for this feature.


 



Movie Summary


 Short: The Undersea Kingdom, Chapter 2: 

Crash, Billy, and Diana behave completely passively and are led around by the inhabitants of the Lost City of Atlantis, which is really kind of a letdown.


 Movie: The Indestructible Man: 

Lon Chaney, Jr., plays "The Butcher," but not nearly as well as his father could have. The Butcher is on death row, awaiting execution for his part in a bank robbery in which some people apparently got hurt or killed. His partners, Squeamy Ellis and Joe Marsalis, have turned state's evidence against him, and will be given newer, stupider names by the witness protection program. The mortuary where the Butcher's body is sent apparently has a retail outlet, as a lab assistant buys the Butcher's corpse for a medical experiment. He is brought back to life by a doctor and his assistant, and the Butcher, who always had a hard time expressing his emotions, shows his gratitude by strangling them both. Predictably, he hunts and kills Joe and Squeamy (who deserved to die for his name anyway) before being fried like a pot sticker on some power lines.

— Mike Nelson

Host Segments


 Prologue: 

The Robots try to confuse Joel by switching their voices around.

 Invention: 

The Mad Scientists claim they are having a Playboy-type party in Deep 13. Their invention is something for men only. They never show what it is. Joel, Crow, and Tom have invented complete novels to go on the back of cereal boxes.

 Segment 2: 

They have a parade celebrating The Undersea Kingdom. When the pepper float comes by, Gypsy sneezes, causing the hydrogen-filled Tom to explode.

 Segment 3: 

Joel, Crow, and Tom talk about what they'd do if they were indestructible.

 Segment 4: 

Joel does the Lon Chaney, Jr. eye thing, but the Robots butt in and ruin it.

 Segment 5: 

They all sign a contract promising never again to do cop/doughnut jokes. Some cops visit Deep 13 and elucidate the issue. Cops played by Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy.

 Stinger: 

Lon Chaney's scabby kisser.


Reflections

The signing of the contract agreeing not to do any more cop/doughnut jokes was actually a response to something that was very needed in the writing room. In doing the sketch, we writers essentially signed that contract. We remained true. No cop/doughnut joke ever appeared in our show thereafter.
