No way, brother.
You just wanna humil... humil...

Easy, Rocky.
Not too many syllables.

I got light-headed there. Listen, I still got
the eye of the tiger. You know that.

Look, Rocky, you got the eye of a tiger

You're not gonna be fighting a man tonight.
You'll be fightin' an animal.

Enough of the foreplay, Rocky.
Is it gonna be your place or mine?

Public Access Television
Channel presents: Men on Vacation.

- Hello. I'm Blayne Edwards.
- And I'm Antoine Merryweather.

[In Unison]
And welcome to Men on Vacation.

Today we'll be reviewing
our little European vacation.

From a male point of view.

Here we are on our last stop
on our whirlwind gallivant through Europa.

Wait a minute.
We got a new sponsor.

Somebody better
check their mail.

Tonight's broadcast
is brought to you byJewels...

the gum that explodes
in your mouth.

I bet you just can't chew one.

And who'd want to?

We started
our little trip in Greece.

The Greek peoples
was so nice.

Yes. They bent over backwards
to show us a good time.

Oh, look.
Excuse me.

Not you, fish.
You go back in the sea.

Garçon.

Oh, may I
have another Wallbanger?

- And for monsieur?
- Oui, oui.

- Bottoms up.
- Ditto.

Is that little Ricky Schroder?
What's he doin' here? Don't let him see me.

- Who's that with him?
- You know, I think that's Erik Estrada.

Oh, well. Anyway.
Next we went to Holland, land of dikes.

[In Unison]
Hated it!

And from there,
it was on to merry old England.

- Remember Big Ben?
- Oh, how could I forget it?

It was so nice of him
to show us around the city.

Excuse me.
Big Ben was a clock.

Well, we both know
what time that was.

You'd better stop.

You know, it's so chilly out here,
my nipples are hard.

Then it was just a hop, skip and jump
on to gay Paris...

but we decided to go back
to Greece instead.

And then it was on
to Scotland.

You know, I found it
to be quite an open society...

where mens are free to explore
the feminine side of their nature.

All those hairy legs and skirts
holdin' them bagpipes.

Mm-hmm. Not since the Fire Island
Halloween Barn Dance...

have I seen so many men
in drag.

Just a hint, fellas:
Plaid is out this fall.

Our next stop was Sweden, best known
for its beautiful, buxom blondes.

[In Unison]
Hated it!

So we went back
to Greece.

But it was very sad when we had
to leave our soldier buddies behind...

and travel to our final destination:
The French Riviera...

which is where
we've been ever since.

Oh, yes. And to sum up our little
European vacation, we're gonna have...

to give the whole trip a new and improved
around-the-world-and-back snap.

Tell a friend.

Tune in next week, when we'll be back
in the good old U.S. Of A...

reviewing the new release,
Memphis Belle.

It's the story of young mens
in leather jackets...

all sweaty, standin'
next to each other...

and them long, hard bombs
crammed together in a little old cockpit.

Well, grease my landing gear.
I'm coming in for a landing.

- Toodle-oo!
- See you next week! Bye!

Next!

Listen, do you mind
if I go first?

I've got to get back
to the stock exchange before : .

Oh, sure, let you go
embezzle your millions...

while I struggle to
get by off of minimum wage.

I don't think so.

Homey don't play that.

- Sit down.
- I don't feel like it.

I said sit down!

- Name.
- Homey D. Clown.

Oh, yes. Herman Simpson.

We know all about you.

I'm Sally.
I'm your new parole officer.

- What's that, Sally?
- It's your file.

Let's see. " Abusive language,
failure to perform prescribed..."

Save your breath.
That's just another long list of lies...

perpetrated by the man
to keep a brother down.

Clown, please. Let's place the blame
where it belongs.

I believe your anti-social behavior
is the real problem.

I'll tell you
what the real problem is.

- The real problem is you're
nothing but a tool of the man.
- You are living in a fantasy.

- Another oppressor.
- You wanna blame everybody but yourself!

- You want to break the rules and stay out of jail!
- You don't care about me!

[In Unison]
I don't think so.

[Clown Horn Honking]

[Horn Continues Honking]

- Yeah!
- It's Homey the clown!

- Hey, Homey, does your nose squeak?
- Girl, don't touch my nose.

- Hey, clowny, do a stupid clown trick.
- Yeah!

- I'd love to.
- Herman!

- Come on.!
- Yeah, come on.!

Okay, childrens.
Just one stupid clown trick.

- Yeah!
- Yea!

Look at Homey's flower.
Smell Homey's flower.

[Squeals]

- [Laughing]
- Okay, run along, little children.

See? He's a stupid
weak clown.

Now, that's more like
the Herman I want to see.

He kicked me
in my behind, honey.

Oh, that's all right. Because you're
starting to act like a real person.

By the way,
Mama's coming over on Monday.

And Wednesday
you start your new job.

But I got a job,
honey bunch.

I'm a clown, remember?

You're not a clown.
You're a buffoon.

I'm talking
about a real job, Herman.

An entry level position at that fancy
new restaurant I told you about.

- Not Chez Whitey.
- Yes.

Look. It's high time
you stopped playing the fool.

Get yourself out of that ridiculous outfit
and into a regular suit.

You know, Herman,
I can just picture it.

You wearing one of those
nice little red valetjackets.

If you're faithful and humble...

and do exactly
what the man tells you...

that means no hostility...

they might even
let you inside the restaurant.

The time has come for you
to fit into society.

Come on, Herman, give it up
and join the establishment.

- The establishment, huh?
- Yes.

You want me to put on a little monkey suit
and park cars for the man, huh?

Maybe if I do real good,
I can move up to washing dishes.

Then maybe waiting tables.
Who knows?

Maybe five or six years later...

I'll be able to
seat Whitey himself.

- You'd like that, wouldn't you?
- Yes, Herman, I would.

I don't think so.

Homey don't play that.

- I'm telling Daddy.
- Good. Give him this when you see him.

Hmm. Now, I wonder where those
sweet little childrens went.

There he is!
I told you he'd still be here.

Hey, uh... Hey, clown man,
do another trick for us, will ya?

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

- Another clown trick, huh?
- Yeah!
- Yeah!

So you can fall down laughing while I degrade
and shame myself for your amusement, huh?

- [Children In Unison] Yeah!
- You'd like that, wouldn't you?

- Yeah!
- Yeah! Homey! Homey!

Homey! Homey! Homey!

- Homey!
- Sit down!

Gather round,
little chickadees.

Homey's got a little
love story to tell you.

- Ooh!
- Now, which one of you kicked me
in my behind earlier?

- He did!
- Me!

- Okay, you get up here and be my assistant.
- Yeah!

Hey!

Now, once upon a time...

two lonely hearts
came together.

- Woo woo.
- Wow.
- Just like this.

- Ooh.
- Ewww.

Then love poured all out
from their hearts...

nice and thick-like.

Until Homey realized...

that it was just a trick
to whiten him up, like so.

And it made his heart beat
over and over and over again.

The end.

So, what has our little lesson
taught us if nothing else, childrens?

[Children In Unison]
Homey don't play that.

Very good. Now, let's sing
a little Homey love song.
