Jazzercise catchphrase madness

This could not be catchier ... clips from the original video that made Jazzercise a national craze.  There's a mostly different set of clips posted here.  Every line she utters is an instant catchphrase.  How can you dislike Judi Sheppard Missett. #SNL4kidz

Hubba Hubba Hubba

From the 1945 Perry Como film "Doll Face," how annoying is THIS?!  The racism (standard for the time) doesn't bother me... it's the performers.  Guh.

Knight Rider egress

Would Michael Knight's famous entry/exit from the Knight Industries semi actually work in real life?  Would the KITT car be splayed to bits?  MythBusters finds out.

James Bond in the 1970s

Adjusting to a new decade could have been tough for James Bond, but the first three films in that decade -- 1971's "Diamonds Are Forever," 1973's "Live and Let Die" and 1974's "Man With the Golden Gun" -- all have their moments.  Here are some of the most famous...

-Diamonds Are Forever car chase
-Live and Let Die crocodile jump (and a sequence of aborted takes trying to perfect this scene)
-Man with the Golden Gun 360-degree car jump

And just for fun, the very colorful opening of Live and Let Die.

Laugh-In at Sears

If you enjoy creepy, poorly edited industrial films, and you enjoy Laugh-In, you need to watch this 1968 training video for Sears refrigerator salesmen (and make no mistake, they are aiming this at men).  I will not comment on Judy Carne's (RIP) appearance, but Arte Johnson is pretty good as a hammy straight man.  Still, much of the atmosphere is too funereal...and I'm not even counting the part that's literally funereal.

This reminds me a lot of Baltimore's late, lamented "Atomic TV."

Jeffrey Dahmer on SNL

Not sure if most people will understand this SNL sketch anymore, given that Dahmer died in prison in 1994 and hasn't really been heard about since.  But the highlight is Chevy Chase's delivery, and his stumble on the word "Monday."
