Was that real manure? Biff wants you to stop asking him the question. (YouTube)

Painful.

I thought this was pure crap until about a minute into it when I realized who it was.

Then I giggled.

Yeah, I was actually glad I saw that. It wasn't great, but it was interesting, at least, to think of what happens to character actors from famous franchises. I wonder if the guy who played Wedge Antilles has a guitar?

I now finally know what a key grip and best boy do. Thanks Biff!

Wasn't that bad...beats selling your teeth and hair on eBay which is probably what half the folk in his position end up doing.

Tee hee.

I knew what a key grip and best boy do. I still do not know how you get people to stop asking the question you just answered.

Pretty funny, although all celebrity videos at this point are just prologue for the Screech video.

I remember driving down the street when I lived in Orange County, and passing by the Crystal Cathedral. They had this huge sign out front that shows "ads" for upcoming events. For about a month there, it said "Hear the word of God through the voice of Biff!" and showed ol' Tom Wilson's picture.

Apparently, he'd become one of those evangelist preachers. Now, it seems, he's trying his hand at stand-up comedy (or musical stand-up).

Ehh well... fair play to the Biff-man, I guess.

Actually, I thought it was pretty damn funny. He was always the best thing about the trilogy.

I love Biff. He's really good in "Freaks and Geeks", too.

He's been on The Bob and Tom Show a bunch of times. I get a kick out of this song (especially the Gary Busey line) every time.

I liked it. Tom Wilson's also a pretty good pop art painter (IMHO).

This is the best thing ever posted on MeFi, and all you buttheads who disagree need to make like a tree and get out of here.

Your shoe's untied.

Hah, Don't be so gullible, Mefi!

Even better: Here's the same song recorded from inside Tom Wilson's pants. Really. I'm pretty sure that's where he puts the camera.

I saw Tom Wilson at the LA Improv around 1994. We had one night free and his was the only show close the the hotel. Reluctantly we went...and laughed ourselves silly. All of us were suprised how good he was.

The lords of comedy smiled on him when were were given a table off the stage, he comes out singing "Oh Mandy" and before getting to the first "Mandy" asks a friend next to me what his name was, which of course, was Randy. He does a quick "yes" and proceeds to serenade him for the whole song.

I guess you had to be there.

I'm still holding out for Billy Zabka's extreme juggling videos.

I've been grooving on this clip for a couple of days now.
It always seems to cheer me up.
I'm really glad it got posted here on MeFi.
If anyone is interested, here is another clip that also does the trick.

Yeah, but whatever happened to the guy that said "the dork thinks he's gonna drown?"

That's Jeffrey Jay Cohen, AKA "Skinhead", salvia.

Whaddya know. Hey wait, he was Chunk in the Goonies, too? No way. Really?

that was great, squidfartz.

thanks.

dozo, if that cheers up just one more person, then I have done the memory of Ken Shapiro proud.

Thanks for taking a look.

I love Tom Wilson. I saw him in Omaha a couple of months ago and he was hilarious. I agree with retronic, his art is swell.

I enjoyed that...watched BTTF so many times back in the day... :)
