[Cheering And Whistling]

Thank you.

Thank you.
Welcome to the show.

I came out here tonight because...

and you were goin', "Who is that?"

So I'm going to introduce...
First I'll reintroduce you...

Bob, you think you could try to
clean the windshield? It's filthy.

- [Scratching]
- Oh, heck!

I just cleaned
these wipers last week.

There's got to be a better way
to clean a windshield.

[Thump]

What was that?

How y'all doin'?
Havin' a nice day?

[Man]
Yes, forget about lousy wiper blades.

In fact, forget about
windshield wipers entirely.

Introducing Mr. Squeegee.

Your windshield will sparkle
forjust pennies a day.

[Tires Screeching]

He sticks to your car like glue, even under
the most extreme driving conditions.

And he's guaranteed
not to shake loose.

- [Scream]
- [Thud]

[Horn Honks]

[Yelps]

Look here, man. I'm just trying
to make an honest dollar.

Help a brother out, homey.
Help me get something to eat, man.

- How about you, Miss Lady?
- [Coin Drops]

All right. Have a nice day.

Wipers never work
when you need them.

Mr. Squeegee works
whether you need him or not.

Not only are we
cleaning our windows...

But we feel really good about it too.

Hey, look here, man,
let me get a "sammich," man.

Gentlemen, we are
the only studio in town...

without a single black filmmaker.

This is a a key market
that we simply have to tap...

so today I have lined up meetings...

with some of the hottest young
black filmmakers in Hollywood.

This must be the place!

Now, wake up the dotted line
'cause the Funkateers are here to sign.

On the good foot, you know?

Gentlemen, you're early.

And you look sweet enough
to eat, honey.

Oh, I get a cavity
just lookin' at you, sweet thing!

Look here, home skillet,
save some for dessert, ya know?

- Now, you must be...
- Funky Finger Producciones.

- I'm Clavell.
- I'm sorry. I don't see your name here.

- And I'm Howard Tibbs III.
- Let me give you one of my business cards.

You know, I'm fresh out. Howard?

Bam!

All right, the number's here,
but you're gonna have to read real quick...

'cause it's growing back fast.

- I'm gettin' ready to buy
one of them blow out kits.
- Basketball Afro for days!

Well, it is certainly a pleasure
to meet you both.

Let me start by introducing you to our
vice president of publicity, Lee Dagget.

- Say what?
- Bam! You're just the man I wanted to see.

- You all right, homeboy?
- All right.

- Look here.
- Don't push him out the car.

Interesting title.
Oh Knats.

No, no, no. You got that backwards.
Let me see this here.

That's Stank Ho.

See, it's a love story.

It picks up where
Pretty Woman left off...

only this time, she does all her
shopping at Fatburger, ya know?

Did I mention I had
a doctor's appointment?

Block 'em at the door, homey!
[Laughs]

Gentlemen, it has just been
a real pleasure meeting you.

We ain't done yet, big legs!

You know, it's a two-picture deal.

Howard, show 'em the trailer.

I really don't think
we have time for this.

Whoo!

Bam!

Now, you see, this is
a little ditty we like to call...

Dirty Dancing With Wolves.

Ain't no function at this junction.

- I had the time of my life.
- I'm just kiddin', y'all.

But I never met this wolf before.

- Let's take it downtown, home skillet.
- Break it down.

Look here, homey,
I hate to interrupt this thing...

but the costume got to be
back in just about .

- And the bus...
- And here comes my bus.

- There go the bus.
- You got change for a dollar?

I got it. Leroy,
bring my camera by later, could you?

Now how does that grab you,
matzo grip?

- Ahh!
- Well, you know, I think
I've seen just about enough.

Your : is here, Lisa.

Do you two know you left
your sandwich cart outside?

Well, ain't that
a chocolate chip cookie?

You know, I knew we forgot something!

Hey, look, y'all! Who's hungry?

- Please show these gentlemen out.
- Did I mention we also produced...

My Afro's Too High
to Box with God?

Right, and
Teenage Mutant n*gro Turtles.

Say, say, say, brother!

- Isn't that Wes Unseld?
- Love your work, man!

Carla, the coast is clear.

Can I borrow, uh, you know,
a feminine product?

- Oh, you mean a tampon?
- Shh. Yes. Hurry.

Thanks.

That time of the month, huh, Joyce?

That's not cleavage. It's swelling.

Suffering from P.M.S., Joyce?
[Laughs]

See? I told you she looked bloated.

Can't seem to disguise the fact
that it's your time of the month?

Well, now Femco brings you
Fashion Tampons.

Stylish, comfortable and fun.

They come in assorted colors
and go with any outfit.

Ooh, Joyce,
I love those earrings!

Thanks, Carla.
Actually, they're tampons...

conveniently packaged
in boxes of , and .

And they're super absorbent.

Something you just can't find
in other fashion wear.

Fashion Tampons. Well, honey, I'm just
gonna go on down and get me some.

Gee, Joyce, you look great today.

I like a woman who can accessorize.
Really turns me on.

Nice dress, Joyce.

This old rag?

Fashion Tampons. Because at that time
of the month, you want to look good.

[Woman]
And there's also
Fashion Maxi and Mini Pads...

[TV Reporter]
Fighting broke out overnight
between rival factions...

Honey, how's that roast
coming along?

It's almost ready, dear.

- [Siren Wailing]
- Gee, Dad, that sounds close.

- Dad, it stopped right in front of the house!
- What's going on?

All right, everybody,
let's all just calm down.

- I'll take care of this.
- [Knocking]

Nice to meet ya, folks.
Fire Marshal Bill here.

- Won't you come in?
- Don't mind if I do.

- Wow! A real fireman!
- That's right, princess.

Say, you sure have
a beautiful family here.

Why, thank you, Fire Marshal Bill.
How can we help you?

Well, it's National Fire Safety Week.

I've been going door to door
lookin' for fire hazards.

Mind if I give your place
a little inspection?

It's free.

Please do.

Son, does your father
always smoke a pipe?

Yes, sir.

Pipes, cigarettes...
number one cause of domestic fires.

- Let me show you something.
- Certainly.

Now, say one night you're
driftin' off to sleep on the couch...

and the pipe falls
out of your hand like that.

Now you start dreaming
that you're havin' a little barbecue...

you pull out a can of lighter fluid...

Boom! You're off to the races.

- Fire!
- What, that?

Hey, Fire Marshal Bill,
your finger's on fire!

That's nothin'. I've caught fire so many times,
I can't even feel it anymore.

The trick is not to panic.

Fire... is... your friend.

Uh-oh! Look what I found.

[Family Coughing]

Down at the station,
we like to call this an octopus.

Let me show you something.

Pull these out, it becomes
an exposed electrical outlet.

Let's just say it's after dinner.
You've got a fork in your hand.

Somebody says, "Hey, a gaggle of geese!"
Where? Where?

[Screaming]

Fire Marshal Bill, are you okay?

Are you jokin'?
I've been hit by lightning times.

That's horrible!

Not really. I'm startin' to enjoy it.

Okay, everybody...

out to the kitchen!

Now your kitchen area is
an all too common locale...

for fires.

First time I spontaneously combusted
was in a kitchen not unlike this one.

It was one of those hot nights.

I opened the fridge, and boom!
Went up like a powder keg!

[Laughs]

Good thing I knew how to drop and roll.

- Your hand's on fire!
- So it is.

That's a sure sign that your gas flow
hasn't been calibrated properly.

- [Water Hissing]
- Ahh! Now...

Say you got yourself a bit of a virus.

You're lookin' for a box of tissues...

but it's not there and it's too late.

[Sneezes]

Next thing you know, your gas light
goes out on your new gas range.

Suddenly, your house is hit by a giant
meteor storm that's totally unexpected.

One of those hot little babies comes
right through the kitchen window...

you just happen to be holding a match.

- Hey!
- You're not gonna light that, are you?

Don't worry, folks.
I'm a fire marshal.

[expl*si*n]

- [Crying]
- It's all gone, Mommy.

It'll be okay, sweetheart.

Everything we had was in there.

Come on, folks. Let's move along.
You'll be all right.

[Coughing]

They just keep building 'em higher,
don't they?

Hey! Neighbor!
