I don’t have anything original to share at the moment, but just wanted to say you’ve picked two of the most hilarious TAL episodes of all time! I love the Fiasco! bit about the community production of Peter Pan. That’s where I always lose it.
I LOVE that Sarah Haskins series! And those TAL segements are some of my favorites as well, also very partial to the first act of “Fear of Sleep” and the second act of “Send a Message-” the latter of which I listened to on headphones while at the laundromat and looked like a crazy person laughing my ass off while pairing socks.
Thanks for these! We listened to the first act of “Fear of Sleep” while I cut Eric’s hair last night, and I nearly chopped various bits of both of us off, laughing.
This by Steve Martin for pure silliness:
