I remember this sketch on a show called "Haywire" around 89-90.

[@misterk81]

Haha, so awesome! I used to watch this show a lot when I was younger. I'm in British Columbia and I remember getting this show from a US channel called King 5, it would air right before Saturday Night Live. The Billy Quan bits were so great... and watching them again now, they are still funny.

[@sillygoose635]

Well, yeah, That was where the show originally aired.

[@plawson8577]

@@sillygoose635Almost Live was made and aired in Seattle.

[@AngelusDlion]

I hear what you're saying. I never knew JP Patches, but I grew up on almost live. OUr family's tradiaiton was to record both AL and SNL and watch it sunday. Often times Almost Live was better than SL.

[@valentinecochran]

I'm from seattle !!!

[@quinntang3315]

What are the black and white pictures name in the Seattle pool billiards building?

[@vroomsocko]

Sweetness... I used to watch this on Haywire with Gilbert Godfret.

[@sevinPackage]

Sweet, I just noticed they were playing at Jillian's! That's my favorite pool hall/party place in Seattle!

[@quinntang630]

What's the name of the building of pool party billiards place in Seattle?

[@YT-Trenton]

anybody have "Enter the Doggy"? Where they are walking their dogs and the bald guy's dog shits on Billy's foot?

[@fireemblemaddict128]

You're close to right.

[@toborobo]

This was filmed at Jillian's on Westlake. I loved this show.

[@melodicmedia]

I've been triing to find these Videos for a Very Long time now. I had all the Episodes recorded on VHS but I lost them long ago. There was a halarious Golf Episode where the white guy laso's Billy's legs and swings him around and around. And a Restaurant Episode called "Enter The Diner" Please Post these Lost Videos. They are next to Impossible to Find.

[@livardo]

I'm from Vancouver(BC) too and for me it was tradition to watch Almost Live followed by SNL when it was actually GOOD. heh.

[@sillygoose635]

SNL is still Good lol

[@Nickleus-Artist]

aaaaah the memories! awesome seattle humor =)

[@crazyclimber80]

This was my favorite Billy Quan skit. Pure genius!

[@mac_00000]

For real!

[@joshchacon1]

Yeah I watched Haywire all the time when I was like 8.. Mind your manners was the funniest part of my week back then..

[@1aundulxaldin]

@TH3DR1V3R YOU too!? That how's I found this video!!

[@fireemblemaddict128]

the first 30 seconds of this vid made my day. The look on his face. Beautiful

[@tetsuorocks]

Wow. Haven't seen this in years. Used to watch this show all the time. Amazing what you can dig up on youtube.

[@AngelusDlion]

Hello, I'm just across the straight.. for what it's worth while we gave you great comedy, you gave us great music.. I consider it a fair trade...

[@starshipvelcrp]

me too! I love that comic

[@capnhands]

anyone have "Enter the diner"

[@pdq340]

@Mavericker7: It might've been on AFV after Almost Live ended production. See Wikipedia (Almost_Live!) for a complete description of the program. I was fortunate to have experienced the show from start to end. It came on KING-TV before SNL. Eventually, SNL was no longer funny, and we just turned the TV off after Almost Live.

[@sillygoose635]

Nah SNL was and still is funny.

[@ImperialHyper]

Jack ftw!

[@ummagumma00]

Wasn't this shown once on a show called Haywire?

[@tomcslf]

OMG Please post more Billy Quan! I remember there was one where he was shooting free throws and one where he was throwing floppy disks like throwing stars... I have been looking for them forever.

[@optiquest86]

As was I! It was worth the trouble. XD

[@twinmillario1452]

(1:14) Blocked Kick! LOL!

[@quinntang5614]

What are 3 pictures name that are black and white?

[@johnwallace9792]

This was really funny stuff.

[@ArcturusArcher]

@TH3DR1V3R Same here XD, i would have never found this without jack

[@TheKuangr]

look at his face at 1:04

[@laurabeane8862]

Sam Raimi never thought of the Feet Cam!😅

[@johnathanreynolds8221]

Heywire TV baby! I was in middle school when this was aired! A short lived funny show on Fox! :-)

[@danielmikulas668]

gotta love the Flying Dropkick.

[@drurowin]

Heh, they did this in The Gamers.

[@youfrancis]

Haywire! : ) y Good times.

[@BigEOT3]

Billy Quan, Kung Tai Ted's ultimate rival

[@twinmillario1452]

(1:10)

[@1aundulxaldin]

Oh God, it's like watching an ANIME. Well, a poorly dubbed one anyway.

[@flatterkatz]

The vids we watch in hell...

[@johnwallace9792]

Liu Kang WINS! Flawless victory...

[@mariamayub212]

OMG LOL

[@sprinter82]

I am just left wondering what's deadlier...Chuck Norris's roundhouse, or this guy's fly-kick!

[@cw9653]

Andrew Rae drop kick

[@AngelusDlion]

@pjz123 My family and i used to record this show and SNL every Sunday and watch it as a family. And yes, AL usually outclassed SNL. If you don't come from the area you won't get most of it, but I'm 100 miles from Seattle.. and this brings back many good memories.

[@AngelusDlion]

Most of the local humor, for obvious reasons, was stripped from the syndication for the non Seattle area. At least from what I understand. Which is understandable... I'm just glad you got to enjoy the rest of it at least. I'm pretty sure Ballard jokes would be lost on ya.. :)

[@ragnarocks0]

the fuck?.....

[@Xzentein]

Lee-Sin OP

[@AngelusDlion]

Quan's fly kick.. Norri's roundhouse is a one trick pony.. even granted it's a good kick it has to follow the laws of physics. Not so much with Mr Quan.

[@williamcrowe2576]

It's people like "Minnesota Fathead" that ruin the game with misconduct.

[@invisibletenants]

PLOP!

[@christopherc.cooper7350]

It was actually from a Seattle based TV sketch show called Almost Live, but the skits were awesome so they were sold out to clips shows in other places. :) Almost Live was also the show that gave us Bill Nye the Science Guy. Well... Actually I guess Bill gave use himself... And he was a guest on local radio shows first.. But it was his first TV show! Look up Bill Nye as the superhero Speed Walker. So dumb... So funny...

[@johnathanreynolds8221]

Christopher C. Cooper​ , Good to know! I'll have to go and check that out! Too bad it couldn't have stayed on longer! Did you live in Seattle?
