It was the nip slip that made it funny.

hooters restaurants usually have a sexy nature about them (except in this "brand new hooters" because of Ian & the ventriloquist doll), so the customer nip-slipping (i don't think this was planned by Tommy to happen) added a humorous role reversal on top of the already ridiculous scene. one of the funniest tntl skits ever!

I'm glad this came up, I have a really interesting idea. It's called "And suddenly, prop! " How it works: Treat it like a normal TNTL, but at any time during someone's skit, a random crew member throws a completely random prop over the screen. No one knows what it is, a crew member just grabs a prop from behind the scene and tosses it as if to either interrupt or continue the skit running.
