finslippy: I know what you people want.

Shameless!

I know what you people want.

You want to see me in pigtails, jumping up and down, sporting a bizarre lisp!

Fine, then.

You can thank my brilliant husband and his friends for this video, which was made approximately 90 years ago.

Happy Easter!

Pigtails, schmigtails: you're really cute.

Posted by: victoria | March 20, 2008 at 08:51 PM

Normally, I skip right over videos because of my horrible internet connection. But- how could I miss pigtails and a lisp?
I couldn't.

And it was worth it. Oh yes, it was.

Your husband & friends, if they're responsible for this idea, are HILARIOUS. Your pigtails and lisp are adorable. Was that a stunt cat? :)

Aaaaaand, my day has now been made.

Funny. A good way to start the first morning of school holidays. (Yippee!)

I believe I'm about to incorporate "Thanxth, Jerry the Low-Flying Man!" into my clever quip rotation. So funny.

That better not be Sherman at the end there.

Sadly, those pigtails are exactly what my daughter sported for the first 5 years of her bald little life.

Quote from my husband: "What the hell are you watching?"

F*cking hilarious. Thank you, Low-Flying Man!

The experience of trying to say "it's not a bird" with the correct intonation at the beginning of this video is what led me to discover that I have no talent for acting. The video is still funny and fun to watch, though. Shparkles!

And Easter is now made....

Posted by: The Dreadpirate | March 21, 2008 at 01:14 AM

That was fantastic and should be internationally required viewing.

Posted by: Sarah | March 21, 2008 at 06:45 AM

That was AWESOME.

Posted by: Sonja | March 21, 2008 at 07:51 AM

That was quite entertaining!

Posted by: Michelle | March 21, 2008 at 08:09 AM

Okay, I watched this the first time and my 3 year old came in the room and demanded to see it again...and again and now she's pissed because I'm writing you instead of re-playing it. So, I just wanted to say thanks in advance for the 45 times I'm going to get to see your movie today.

Happy Easter to you, too!

That was definitely something.

Posted by: You can call me, 'Sir' | March 21, 2008 at 10:05 AM

I have nothing to say but, "Thank you."

Posted by: Krys72599 | March 21, 2008 at 10:12 AM

Oh, too funny. Way too funny. Snort.

Posted by: Ree | March 21, 2008 at 10:18 AM

Awesome!

Posted by: lizriz | March 21, 2008 at 10:57 AM

If I could favourite a post,I will. Instead, I will bookmark it and watch it over and over again on youtube. AWESOME.

Posted by: jenB | March 21, 2008 at 11:46 AM

Hilarious. Thanks for taking my mind off the goddamn snow for a couple minutes.

Posted by: Amy the Mom | March 21, 2008 at 12:29 PM

Very funny.

Posted by: Jenn @ Juggling Life | March 21, 2008 at 12:59 PM

Jesus, that is hysterical! I'm snorting while trying not to laugh here at work and people are starting to stare. Cheers!

Posted by: Brooke | March 21, 2008 at 01:17 PM

Oh my god.

Awesome doesn't begin to cover it.

:-)

Thanks for the laugh!

Posted by: Jennifer | March 21, 2008 at 04:23 PM

I wish there were a hundred more episodes of Jerry The Low-Flying Man because I would Tivo every one.

Posted by: Nothing But Bonfires | March 21, 2008 at 07:15 PM

Very funny.

Posted by: cc | March 21, 2008 at 07:19 PM

Ah, Brooklyn!!!

Great sketch! SNL could use ya'll as freelancers.

Who will Jerry save next?

Posted by: Jessica | March 21, 2008 at 07:28 PM

When might we see your work as a randy, penniless French milkmaid?

Posted by: dianne | March 21, 2008 at 07:38 PM

My 13 year old son proclaimed this video EPIC!

Posted by: SarahO | March 22, 2008 at 12:34 AM

That was hilarious!

Posted by: Mauigirl | March 22, 2008 at 02:53 PM

I have three things to say-

1. That video was all kinds of awesome.
2. You are completely adorable.
3. That was better than 95% of every sketch on SNL.

Thanks for sharing!

Posted by: Elizabeth | March 22, 2008 at 11:57 PM

Based on the brilliance of that video, I think my husband has a man-crush on your husband.

Posted by: Tammy | March 23, 2008 at 08:48 AM

you know, you in pigtails, jumping up and down, sporting a bizarre lisp was actually *exactly* what i wanted to see. how did you know?

Posted by: smackdown | March 23, 2008 at 12:23 PM

I always thought you were cute, but now that I know how freaking old you are, you are looking mighty fine for a centenarian.

Posted by: schmutzie | March 23, 2008 at 01:33 PM

Things of this nature are what I live for, and why I thanks the stars in heaven above for the gift of the internet.

My new catchphrase is "I've no time to lose!!!"

Posted by: Tammy's Husband | March 23, 2008 at 08:22 PM

Perfect in every way.

And my 15-yr old son wants to be Jerry, The Low-Flying Man for Halloween this year.

Posted by: Christi | March 24, 2008 at 02:10 AM

Truly, truly this is genius. Toward the end, the shot of Jerry stuck in traffic? The crowning glory of the whole video. (I mean, of course, *besides* that bit with you in pigtails, sporting a bizarre lisp...)

Posted by: Amy | March 24, 2008 at 10:53 AM

Too. Many. Awesome. Things.

Can't. Comment. On. All. Of. Them.

Must. Forward. To. All. My. Coworkers.

Posted by: Aimee Greeblemonkey | March 25, 2008 at 06:46 PM

LOL! Hilarious.

The cat cuddle was a nice touch.
