beginning of Kramer. and the sketch I remembered the most.

[@6207865]

Yep. After seeing this, it seems like Kramer was Micheal Richards only bit...

[@adrenochromejoe7448]

Kramer: "Jerry, watch out for those n*. They are armed and dangerous."

[@usselpasoable]

The beginnings of "Doctor VanNostram.

[@bandesj]

I remember watching this when it aired. I was all of 15 and thought OMG when I saw Valerie Bertinelli in those skin tight pants.

[@rockettcustoms6266]

Valerie was so beautiful and so insanely sexy! I had pictures of her all over my bedroom walls.

[@KOSMICKEN09]

2022- people can't handle jokes about politics 😅🤣- I don't think it was funnier than SNL even if Larry David was on Fridays. Fridays had amazing musical guests though

[@pada443]

Not really but nice try

[@lauras3612]

SNL is lightyears funnier than this schlock

[@tomitstube]

valerie was still single in this, she would marry eddie van halen in 2 months, she was all of 20 when she did this.

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

Now she uses Dr. Jean Louis Sebagh's Meaningful Beauty "both morning and night because she's greedy." Are you familiar with The Youth Guru and his miracle melons?

[@julianhermanubis6800]

Michael Richards is basically already doing Kramer in this skit. Otherwise, this is quite a time capsule.

[@nyceflix]

With Larry as a huge part of this show I'm sure that is the direction he ended up giving him

[@1TightMinute]

He always did Kramer. That was the first thing I thought when Seinfeld came out was oh looks like that dude from Fridays is still playing the same character.

[@MartinMary-c2n]

Michael Richards has no range. He can't do any other character

[@dejmir596]

Giggity!

[@1dabirdman68]

Oh my God!! Valerie Bertinelli was so hott here!! No wonder Edward VanHalen married her around this time...Damnit!!

[@geraldlewis8083]

You got it right

[@multivox]

As much as I liked Dick the Swinger, my favorite Michael Richards character on "Fridays" was Battle Boy.

[@RaptorFromWeegee]

At 16 we HOWLED at those battle boy sketches, they were as funny as Cheech & Chong

[@arahawkins6187]

This was the birth of Kramer.

[@sumitsaurabh8642]

oh boy

[@pjmuck]

This was the one skit I've been dying to see again after all these years, as I remember it left me in tears the first time I saw it. But it's not how I remembered it! I could have sworn she topped his haircut off with whipped cream and a cherry on top.

[@francescaa8331]

Us punkers, we gotta have that bongo look. That line stuck with me.

[@Oldschool7166]

always loved this one...

[@regesuchma3658]

Sad this show was only on for 2years

[@spankynater4242]

Not sadder than the fact that SNL is still farting them out.

[@panowa8319]

This was the first "Fridays" episode and skit I remember seeing. And the first time ever seeing Michael Richards.

[@LRS905]

Nice to see the cover of "Wild Planet" by the B 52's on the wall and what sounds like a slowed down and lower toned version of "Party Gone Out of Bounds" from that same album.

[@johnfire3194]

Yeah... That's the instrumental version of Party Out of Bounds played at a slower rpm. It was the b-side of Private Idaho

[@415jjc]

does anyone know what song is playing in the background???

[@scorpiog5659]

B-52's Party Out Of Bounds

[@Ben333bacc]

george a Anybody know where this version of Party Out of Bounds exists?? This is an instrumental, and slowed down a bit. I wonder if it's even done by the B52's...

Makes me wonder what the completed 'bongo cut' would have looked like on him.

[@mechachrist]

Mark Blankfield should have gone in to fame, as well. He was an amazing physical comedian. Look for Jekyll and Hyde Together Again and you'll see how hilarious he was.

[@Whitetiger187]

He was being a hipster doofus

Is there a higher quality video of this "Cat Gut" video? I just love that little shake ,when she is adjusting "Dicky's" barber chair.

What year was this?

[@9AirMcNair]

1981

[@katbowl9971]

Was this a live show ala SNL?

[@francescaa8331]

Similar, but I don't think a live broadcast. Yes, a response to SNL, on another network, in front of an audience. The name Fridays, obviously a spoof.

[@fatfreddyscat5767]

No. It was taped the same day though. 5:,30 in Hollywood on Fridays.

[@jchis9852]

L.A.'s version of SNL but this was taped before a live audience as where SNL was live in real time.

[@qcrew2938]

I hope not because that was the worst sketch I've ever seen

[@squadfathercrypto]

I wish I could find the skit where Michael talks about his kids didn't want to go to church, they wanted to go outside and play...until he started beatin' some butts!! Then they want to go to church 😂

Evertime I saw Michael Richards after this show, he was always, "Dick". Even when he showed up in VH-1 and a St.Elsewhere episode.

[@jeddroston9690]

Fridays was a much better comedy skit show than SNL in the early 80's...imho

[@Mark-sd7fc]

Ya that’s why the network shut it down after one season

[@kodek1234]

So the Kramer guy has been doing the exact same routine his entire career? Good for him. Can't do that anymore.

[@qcrew2938]

He's been coked up for 40 years.... weird guy... really isn't funny unless Jerry and LD are writing for him

[@09nob]

Is that Fred Schnieder

[@uNkLeRaRa4]

The humor in this show is off in a way that I can't place... It somehow reminds me of the feel of being in a low rent wax museum.. lol. And who thought of "Cat Guts" as a nickname? 😆

It's like a bunch of unhip people trying to seem hip and avant garde while failing miserably.

[@f.mazz.459]

To be honest, I don't think Michael Richard's was all that funny pre-Seinfeld. Talented, gifted, yes. But his early film and Friday characters were a bit unhinged and overly goofy. Subtle humor is much funnier than the more obvious, over acted stuff. Kramer was and always will be his best work

[@vicriv6]

Great actor ! No one can do is character

[@JohnBloggs-m8l]

Completely unfunny sketch, but richards was already perfecting the kramer slapstick so i guess thats something.

[@stephenolson7659]

Fridays never was funny

[@srrecords]

Neither was Saturdays

[@scatrrr]

Who would’ve thought that a cornier and even less-funny version of SNL was even possible?

[@fatfreddyscat5767]

Yep. It only lasted 2 seasons for a reason. And SNL really sucked at this time..it was after Lorne and the original cast had just left.

[@qcrew2938]

This was painfully unfunny.... Michael sucks without Seinfeld's writing

[@DonaldHarrington-tr4qw]

Ten inch nails

[@qcrew2938]

This was horrible.... Richards sucks without Jerry and LD's writing

[@jftube3333]

Boy was this skit bad! This was friggin terrible. Give a great script to Michael Richards in Seinfeld, & it's a world of difference.

[@djgill8043]

Fun to see early Michael Richards again, but the audience is annoying. Fake enthusiasm, yelping and hooting at things that weren’t really funny.
