My header refers to the sublime characters created by Andrea Martin and Dave Thomas on SCTV, local merchants doing their own low-budgeted ad. Their real-life equivalents, who in this case are video makers, can be found below. I wish 'em all the best in the world. Their partially animated trip through a Christmas craft-fair (follow the links) is particularly mind-warping.
Thanks to Rich Brown for discovering this nugget of joy.

Supplement to this week's show: Larry David and Ricky Gervais discuss "Sgt. Bilko"
On the Funhouse this week I'll be doing a tribute to the great Phil Silvers Show (aka "You'll Never Get Rich" but best known as "Sgt. Bilko"). Here is a segment from a British TV program (that has never aired in the States) in which Ricky Gervais interviews Larry David, and the two discuss their love of the program. Gervais also offers his love for the sublime Laurel and Hardy (Larry grew up digging Abbott and Costello).
