Fernwood 2Night Electric Car

[@markw208]

Thank you Martin Mull, Fred Willard & Jim Varney for all your comedy. You are missed and will be fondly remembered

[@ownpetard8379]

Yeah but Tesla is no Sucker. No indeedy.

[@donmorris3376]

This reminds me how much I miss the comedy of Jim Varney.

[@mortalclown3812]

Ditto.

[@cm1701a]

Amazing. Teslas do have 4400 individual cells. Fernwood wa 40+ years ahead of its time

[@wendyhermes]

Martin Mull's improv skills and zingers were top-notch.

[@FrankIsAlwaysRight]

Give it some gas

[@krisscanlon4051]

Best rip MM

[@kingslaphappy1533]

This show was way ahead of its time, there was almost nothing like it on TV at that time. Long live Happy Kyne and his orchestra!

[@curtcollett2893]

And Dabney Coleman as Mayor Merle Jeeter!

[@stephensaltau6481]

The Mirth Makers😊

[@tinytanks]

three comedy legends sharing the stage, incredible.

[@stonehobson2487]

A great surprise to see some early Jim Varney. The three of them are having a great time doing the bit. They work well together. We were so lucky to have all this in our lives.

[@ajn465]

This is one of the shows… Probably the main show that really taught me -as a young teenager -about satire. You had people like Martin Mull. Fred Willard, Harry Shearer, and here we have Jim Varney ..it all helped contribute to my sense of humor. Which, not surprisingly, has got me into trouble on countless occasions. Not because I’m a mean person, but because I learned advanced satirical humor from the masters. And I tend to overestimate people. And these days, people really are that wacky. If you were young, and found this by accident… Please just watch more of it. You’ll thank me. And RIP, Fred, and Martin.😊

[@StAlchemyst]

Good God! I didn't recognize Jim Varney till about 2 minutes into the video. Man what a comedian... He's been gone quite a while now, and Martin Mull as just left us too... time flies and I don't think I like it too much.

[@cwelge4494]

Same here. Time flew Fred Willard away about 4 years ago. I was pretty pissed at it then too.

[@arcanondrum6543]

Just wanted to pass along something about "Virgil Simms" 0:16 Jim Varney; He'd show up at Children's Hospitals, no Press, no fee. Jim would entertain the sick or injured children for more than an hour. Just being silly and very funny. Real good guy.

[@dmillhoff]

I remember pissing off my dad when I was a teen, talking him into checking out Fernwood 2Night (I think it was midnight TV at the time), and the night he decided to give it a see, was this episode. A week later he called and cussed me out because he wasn't getting enough sleep, now hooked on the show.

[@susancarroll3431]

My dad too! He loved the ethnic jokes.

[@susancarroll3431]

Fred Willard cracks me up!

[@turdferguson3475]

I've always remembered this bit.

[@robkunkel8833]

Never saw this one .., “about 4,000” … great comedy.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

RIP TO THREE GREAT MARTY FRED AND JIM VARNEY AKA ERNEST

[@snipsnaps1]

Fare thee well, Mr. Mull.

[@bradwooldidge6979]

It’s hilarious that that’s what modern battery packs look like.

[@junglebunny925]

Long live Jim Varney!

[@douglasjohnson4382]

Let’s remember the Tesla S has more than 7,000 Li cells.

[@warrenpeece1726]

Is there NOTHING in today's world not anticipated by Fernwood 2Night?!?

[@viking1960]

IT'S ERNEST P WORRELL! I met him in 1985.

[@scarbourgeoisie]

I thought that was Jim Varney. I used to see him doing local commercials when I was going to Engineering College in Flint Mi. during the early to mid 80's.

[@jetsamperes5762]

He was a spokesperson for MichCon (Michigan Consolidated Gas Company) before the Ernest Goes to Camp movies

[@Sobernic1982]

Jim Varney FTFW! What a cutie!

[@naturalobserver1322]

All three are now gone, sad. 😞

[@my2cents395]

Way ahead of it's time. Today's EV's could have 4,000 batteries.

[@porticojunction]

100 views and 14 comments in 14 years. Glad it is here.

[@cattathat]

My Dad remembers this show. He liked it.

[@TheAutoChannel]

This was the first Tesla. hahahahahahaha

[@zoltankaparthy9095]

Fernwood 2 Night with Martin Mull!

[@Patrick-zi2yt]

God, that show was entertaining!

[@TheBigScat]

"It might need gas." LOL

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

Reminds me of the Julia Louis-Dreyfus SNL pre-recorded commercial for an all-electric car.

[@nicmart]

Varney imagined himself a handsome Shakespearean thespian. Instead he became the archetypal hick.

[@timdwyer2895]

Did you ever watch this show. Two very funny guys. Good skit.

[@zepproxx]

@KaptKan1 Good one!

[@squinkque]

All the people I used to laugh at when I was a smart ass kid are going on to the Great Beyond, just not in Virgil's battery powered car. RIP 3 great ones.

[@charleybarley939]

The irony here, is this is what, generally speaking, happened to the Chevy Bolt. It has been in recall over battery issues ever since it rolled off the assembly line.

[@littleghostfilms3012]

🤣That's a LOTTA batteries!

[@LemoTetson]

All three of these guys were in Roseanne!

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

Martin Mull says about the electric car: "It might need gas" and there wouldn't be an ICE to turn over 🤣😂

[@harpersisland]

A vast improvement over the Volkswagen 1600 Fastback. Imagine how much better it would be with current rechargeable D cells!

[@briankleinschmidt3664]

That electric car sounds like it has a gasoline engine. Martin even mention it may be out of gas. I think that goober may be a fraud.

[@lizajane54]

Is that an old SAAB?

[@steveperry1344]

i think it's one of the vw models.

[@brucebr1037]

Fastback.

[@farnorth7314]

So so funny....thanks

[@DanHolmes-o9b]

Birth of the Chevy Volt. Just as dependable too.

[@boojiray]

It's a Volkswagen Fastback

[@cameraman655]

Elon gives a big 👍

[@josephwarren3498]

I never knew Elon Musk was on Fernwood Tonight!

[@Quantix88]

Eat your heart out, Musk...

[@lizajane54]

and seriously if you were blind and trying to cross the street it could be bad they're so quiet

[@rbnhd1144]

Its a Volkswagen, that's hilarious, Mull was forward thinking on this one, A "Sucker" that says it all, and what about all those batteries, Maybe Mull invented the first EV. lol

[@nv1493]

2024 - they're actually series about this stuff. With similar results.

[@Ckom-Tunes]

Elon musk, before he decided to hire engineers.

[@williamrowlett740]

Biden's secretary of energy and transportation.

[@Bestmanme08]

@Sobernic1982 Never mind him.Vanna White is much sexier and way cuter.

[@davidmcbeth5736]

Mull has been spotty in career .. on and off again in TV series -- just the bus I guess because he is excellent. Willard in this series was just starting to get in his groove ... this show was great when it aired. Unfortunately it followed that horrible Mary Hartman show...

[@Wendell-j4s]

Thanks for your negativity Mr. Doofus.

[@adp5R3x]

Mary Mary Hartman LIVED in Fernwood & That was the Link

[@cattathat]

😂😂😂

[@moonbeamskies3346]

And now people actually love EVs. I will stick with ICE.

[@mistervacation23]

Some Joe Biden electric crap

[@AllTheBestCO]

Insecure hate speech. Have fun in Nov.

[@mistervacation23]

@@AllTheBestCO we will when Trump wins

[@someoneelse.2252]

Garbage for the masses. Sad....

Is that a self-reference Mr. Elite?
