so pretty much, three guys with ridiculous costumes, beer, a phone, a greenscreen and a hell of a lot of pot requested to be on public television, hilarity follows soon behind.

What the fuck did I just watch.
This embodies what I loved about the 90s, it was a decade of complete nonsense. It was the wacky decade. I'm glad I grew up before the internet and got to experience things like this, creativity was channelled differently, more directly. The hive mind of the web changed the way we look at the world.
Retrospectively it isn't as shocking as it would have been back in '93 for the people of Tucson. In the late 80s and into the 90s, for anyone who knows their tabloid history, there was a huge uproar about heavy metal and the dangers of Satanism. Outraged parents were screaming and protesting about evil death cults, ritual abuse and subliminal messages embedded in song lyrics making teenage fans kill themselves. It was yesterday's favourite sensationalist subject. This chap and his debauched cohorts then, with their ridiculous costumes and tongue in cheek antics really would have messed with the minds of anyone watching.
Nowadays you can get away with putting any old crap on TV, as the rise in [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embarrassing_Bodies]sexual education programming[/url] [url=http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-sex-education-show]is evidence of[/url]. I remember a time when seeing boobies on TV was something astounding, you'd sit up all night watching late night movies on cut-rate channels just for that one scene of badly recorded softcore porn where you see a tit for half a scene. It was a simpler time.

such nostalgia, back in those days you'd have to find out and learn to do things, not just google it, and even then it wasn't rare for someone not to have a computer...
