Is this the Army Recrucification Office, sir? Now, you probably want the Eternal Life Mission.
It's down the street and around the block.
No, I've come to be all I can be.
.
.
'cause I've been what I've been and it ain't paying too well.
- Let me ask you something, boy.
- Huh? What do you think you have to offer the army? Well, I'm glad you asked, sir.
See, 'cause I'm an entertainer, you know? If you gave me five dollars.
.
.
I could go over to Salty Armenia.
.
.
and entertain the troops, see? 'Cause I'm a regular boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company "B.
" I'm a boogie-woogie bugle boy.

Compan.

Here.
Camouflage that for me.
Now, listen to me.
I am in the business of signing up real live soldiers, maggot! Maggot? Hey, I ain't no maggot.
Hey, I ain't never been with another man before.
Who told you that, Clarence? He's lying.
He's lying.
I'm telling you.
All right, once.
I was desperate.
I needed the money.
I was drunk and down out.
Don't hold it against me.
I don't have time for this! I'm in the middle of a rapid deployment! Well, I'm in the middle of unemployment, so we got something in common.
- You know, as much as I would love to send you over to Iraq.
.
.
- Mm-hmm.
I don't think you'd last 10 minutes.
Okay, just for instance.
.
.
what would you do if you had to engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat? [Sniffles.]
That's no problem, see.
.
.
'cause I'm skilled in the Martian arts.
I know tai chi.
Whaa! I know tae kwon do.
[Yapping.]
And I know Tyrone.
He taught me all that stuff.
You know, like how to take a rope.
Just a simple rope.
.
.
anything becomes a weapon.
You take that out and.
.
.
[Mumbles.]
Oh, that's the secret weapon there.
Ewww.
Oh, my God.
What is that smell? Well, that was a sample of my nerve gas.
All right, all right.
That does it.
Get out of here.
Go on! Get out of here! Well, wait a second.
Hold on.
- Wait a minute, uh, Uncle Sambo.
- Hey, hey, hey.
I want to serve my country.
I'll give you five dollars if you get out of here and forget you ever heard about the army.
- Come on! Take it! - Well, the guy down at the navy office gave me.
.

.
.
- Uh-huh.
- Would merely delineate the colonic orifice, - Ooh! Thereby separating the gluteus from the maximus.
- Well, Homo was very deep, - Uh-huh.
- But you seem to masticate the proclamation, my brother, - Okay.
Because the gastrointestinal phlebitis.

[Announcer.]
Is postcoital cuddling bringing you down? See, you don't understand.
I got to be somewhere at 6:00 tomorrow morning.
Then I'll leave with you.
No.
But, uh, you can't leave with me.
.

'cause my car was in an accident and it only has one seat left.

Sounds like you needthe Ejector Bed from Rudeco.
Yes, it's simple to operate and can ejectup to 2,000 pounds in a single thrust.
Oh, wow.
This never happened to me before.
I guess I must've been under a lot of stress.
Maybe some fresh air might help.
[Announcer.]
Yes, the Ejector Bed.
Your best friendin a sticky situation.

Doc, how's my partner? Is he gonna pull through? He's in pretty bad shape.
Take a look for yourself.
Oh, my God! Look, look, Doc.
Do whatever you gotta do, man.
But please, make him whole again.
We can rebuild him.
We have the technology, all right? It's gonna cost you six million dollars.
Six million dollars? The department doesn't have that kind of money.
- 15,000.
- Look.

Hang in there, partner.
[Announcer.]
Coming this spring to a theater near you.
.
.
The Head Detective.
The Head always gets his man.
Let's just forget it, man.
He's too far away.
We'll never catch him.
- Throw me at him.
- What? I said throw me at him.
I can do it, partner.
- No way, man.
Too dangerous! - Just do it! Ah, watch my brain.
- Way to go, man.
! - Freeze, slimeball.
Don't make me chase you any further.
[Announcer.]
And women find him irresistible.
Yes! You've got incredible hands and feet, you animal you.
[Kissing.]
[Moaning.]
Oh, Detective Head.
.
.
I never dreamed it could be like this.
You know what they say, baby.
It's not what a man's got, it's how he uses it that counts.
Stop tickling my feet.
The Head Detective.
Coming this spring to a theater near you.
[Disco.]
[Announcer.]
Cable access,Channel 62, presents Men On Film.
[Applause.]
- Hello, I'm Blayne Edwards.
- And I'm Antoine Merrywether.
[Together.]
And welcome to Men On Films.
- The show that looks at movies.
.
.
- From a male point of view.
Tonight's show is sponsored by.
.
.
Nuts & Honey.
- What did you say? - Nuttin', honey.
I bet you can't eat just one.
I bet I could.
You're so crazy.
[Giggling.]
Tonight we'll be wrapping up the summer films.
First up is the box-office smash Total Recall.
Yes, this is the movie where muscle-bound Arnold Schwarzenegger.
.
.
goes in search of his past.
Just a hint, Arnold, try looking in the closet.
[Snickers.]
Next we have Betsy's Wedding.
[Together.]
Hated it.
Then there's Ghost.
You know, Patrick Swayze was the real standout in this film.
You know, I'd breathe life into his spirit any day.
Even if I did have to go through Whoopi Goldberg.
- Perish the thought.
- Yes, indeed.
Now we come to Dick Tracy.
You know, I love the title, but the movie just left me limp.
I know what you're saying.
This is.
.
.
This is what I don't get.
All the characters fit their names.
You know, Flattop had a flattop.
Pruneface looked just like a little prune.
But I never got the chance to see.
.
.
[Mouthing Words.]
I know I wanted to.
What's wrong with you? It's hot in here.
Oh.
Then there's Pretty Woman.
[Together.]
Hated it.
- This one should have been called A Fish Called Julia.
- Oooh.
Next, Eddie Murphy was back in Another 48 Hours.
You know, I'm sorry.
This movie just got off on the wrong track.
I feel that they should have spent more time where the real story is.
- Mm-hmm.
- In the prisons.
I'd like to see more about them old sweaty mens all together in them tiny little cells.
.
.
with no one to turn to but each others.
Ooh, drop the soap.
I'll get it.
Hush.
- Really? - You know I can wait.
Then we come to Spike Lee's Mo'Better Blues.
I'm sorry.
I didn't care for it.
It just didn't put no toot in my horn.
I'm sorry, but I liked this one.
I mean, little Spike Lee outdone himself this time.
He really stretched out in a dual role.
.
.
as both the lead character's manager and love interest.
Oh, he was okay as the manager.
.
.
but, ooh, he just thrilled me to death in those gripping love scenes.
.
.
with big old handsome Denzel Washington.
What courage it must have taken for little Spike Lee to take off them glasses.
.
.
and let that little hair get knotty and say.
.
.
"Hey, this is me.
Here I am.
See me, love me.
" Hello! Put the car in park.
The love interest was played by Spike Lee's little sister, Joi.
Well, touch me in the morning and then just walk away.
I don't know.
I think you should go see this again, then you tell me who's who.
- Yeah, well, you can go without me.
- 'Toine.
Don't get mad.
- 'Toine.
- Okay.
Finally, we have Die Harder.
What a way to go! Ninety minutes with Mr.
Bruce Willis.
Oh, yes.
Don't tempt my tummy with the taste of Nuts & Honey.
Crazy.
You know, the only thing I didn't understand was all the violence in the film.
.
.
'cause the title suggested a love story.
Mm-hmm.
I second that emotion.
I think this one still deserves the new and improved.
.
.
[Together.]
Two snaps, a twist and a kiss.
Stop.
Can't touch this.
Well, that's our show.
Next week, we'll be looking at Air America, starring Mel Gibson.
.
.
and little Robert DowneyJrs.
- Pilot to copilot, we're going down in flames.
- [Giggles.]
[Together.]
Bye, now.
[Disco.]
We'll see you next week.
Good night.
You can do what you wanna do In living color
