Mushmouth vs Chris

[@mkoenig1972]

Watching this video makes me miss the good days of my young life when watching the Hooihan and Big Chuck show late Friday nights

[@WildDismay]

Yes, it was an institution! Shame that local production like this (and Soupy Sales, etc.) has disappeared. Mary Hartski Forever!!!

My brother, Big Bob, beat Mushmouth hands down in the mid 70's. They ruled it a tie. I wish there were footage of that. It was hilarious. Mushmouth got beat and he KNEW it.

Hoolihan and Big Chuck were always a part of my Friday nights growing up in the eastern suburbs of Cleveland, which usually included a horrible movie but also a large pizza from Longo's in Mentor. Great times!

4/19/2019 - I saw this particular contest when it aired sometime in the mid 70's. Hoolihan & Big Chuck was our favorite Saturday night entertainment and watching old horror movies. Ah, the good old days.

I thought it was Friday nights. Just like "Ghoulardi". But I am not sure.

Thank you for this

This takes me back to my teen years on Friday nights hanging out with my brothers.

Watched Big Chuck and Hoolihan every time they were on, and likewise when Hoolihan left, and Little John co-hosted. Me and my buddies would often spend the nights at each other's homes on Friday's and would get pizza so we could compete with the greatest human pizza eating machine. 🙂

I played in a band for years in Atlanta and Mariano was our sax player. Funny guy. Good player too. He told us about his Mush Mouth days and we thought he was jerking our chain. How did it even come up? We were playing at an event and they fed us. Mariano got his plate, we looked away for a couple of seconds... and the food was gone. It was like a magic trick.

I remember watching that when it aired

RIP Mushmouth

What year was this

[@eyetineetee]

While all this was taking place, doug hauser was playing hockey at Padua then later went on to play at the Windsor Royals, played with Greg coil, Tom melodic, Jimmy Fritchie

[@lion197456]

Watched this the night it was originally aired. Still cracks me up when Mushmouth goes to shake Chris's paw and Chris bares his teeth.

[@Tumbleweedin]

Awesome.

[@rsstrazz6261]

We also loved the original "Ghoulardi Show" when Ernie Anderson would get carefully crafted customized model cars sent in to him - and he would promptly blow them up on air during commercial breaks with large firecrackers stuck inside the passenger compartments -

Hey! Can it wit da boom boomz!

[@michaelbahnsen2888]

This is when comedy was great.

[@edsowinski2308]

Even during the era of Vietnamization and the early days of Watergate, the HH & BC Friday night Pizza fights were a hot topic of debate in all NE Ohio high schools. While I was a fan of Mushmouth I felt a little disappointed that he had to relay on an obscure clause of the Marcus of Queensbury rules to retain his title.

RIP mushmouth......

[@stevenvarga4157]

The Funny part is Chris is still eating off the chair,,,, Marquis of Queensbury Rules

Daiquri the Dog recently defeating Psycho Mike in a pro wrestling match can't compete with the pizza smackdown by Chris the Fairview Fireball!
