From the vaults of Paranoid Pictures: Hey kids! Remember those thrilling cliffhanger serial dramas of yesteryear? Me neither! The guys at Firesign Theater remembered them just fine, though, and spent a rainy afternoon dubbing their voices over the original soundtracks; wacky hijinx and horrible puns ensue!→[More:]

The Mounties Catch Herpes
Toy Wars
Last Handgun on Earth
Olympic Confidential
Claws II
Revenge of the Non-Smokers

What’s that? Mystery Science Theater 3000? Never heard of it. Get out of here, kid, ya bother me.

Oh man I loved Firesign Theater!

Nick Danger! Third eye! Because two aren't enough!

"So smart he could recite the bible backwards by the age of 9. By the age of 10 they realized he recited everything backwards".

"Nancy!? Why is that man's head in your lap"?

"Ol' Faithful Scotch! It comes back upon you every time"!

Firesign Theatre were great. I bought a record after hearing a Nick Danger episode on Dr Demento and have a been fan ever since. Even when they're not funny, they're funny. And I the fact that just about sketch seems to have have a character that sounds a bit like Peter Lorre.

I downloaded "Don't Crush the Dwarf" from Amazon. It's uneven, but, in my youth, I had that one, and the one with Marx and Lennon on the cover remembered, word for word. So it was good to travel memory lane, if nothing else.

They were also a hoot to see live.
