Rat In The Box - The Firesign Theater ad

"Oh! There are rat parts all over my sofa!" Really dig the teeth on those mice.

Junk food and Glitter Geeks

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this. This song has been in my head ever since seeing it as a preteen in '83. I have been trying to find the show it was from. I knew it was Firesign Theater, but couldn't find the name of the short. You ROCK!

Firesign Theatre rules NIGHT FLIGHT I MISSED OUT!!!

i wish i was a member of the NIGHT FLIGHT generation

RIP, Peter Bergman. :-(

I REMEMBER THAT OFF NIGHT FLIGHT ON USA.

Night Flight was great. I've got a copy from that same airing, but it's on Beta.

Come in where it's safe Where the menu is Treif! LOL {Non-kosher food, food not in accord with Jewish dietary laws, is called treif.}

Can someone post this whole movie, i had it as a kid and can't find it : (

Thanks so much for uploading this! What a classic! I once went crazy-outta-my-way to get the VHS of this ad. Just one of the many things that spurred me to become a vegetarian. "Guts In A Cup" indeed!

venomfour20, I have to look to see if I still have the tape. Then I have to figure out a way to play it and upload it. I'll try.

Freakin' lost it at the pulsating pulp on a plate. XD

I wish they put this on DVD, HD or Bluray, got it on VHS.

I recorded that too from the same show. Have you ever seen "J-Men Forever"?

"Hot dog! Let’s eat!"
The words of Deacon E.L. Mouse, presiding over a prayer meeting of the Powerhouse Church of the Presumptuous Assumption of the Blinding Light.

If TRUMP becomes POTUS this will become what the Poor will get , instead of Mickey D , we will see Mickey Mouse !

I was there for Night Flight, but I wish I had been able to get pot for it.

Oh mah gawwd! Finally!!

"That makes me wana puke!" . . viewer assumes he's referring to the cooked and consumed rats, kitten, guts, ticks and shit. Then he says "Junkfood and glitter geeks!" . .. brilliant! By the way, that CHICK in the commercial looks kind of like the actress Terri Garr ( though I know it isn't her ).

Toejam Tarts and Diarrhea Dee-Lite!

I always loved the Firesign Theater but I could never find much past their first five albums if that. This is the golden age of Firesign Theater right now.

Santa really didn't look happy with this ad.

I can die in peace having found this. I think I dreamt this up in a fever dream.

The non-kosher sign at the beginning is hilarious!

Why do I feel like I'm being talked to

You’re old.

Its where we are headed says Klaus Schwab

I love the T-shirt that says "Stones 1997 Farewell", Firesign always had to be ahead of the times.

I was in high school when this aired on Night Flight. I watched the whole movie about a trillion times. Have the VHS too. My sister found it about 15 years ago and bought it for me.

Amazing!! Thanks for sharing!!

So glad this was posted. Thank you!

Old favorites return.

After seeing the guinea pigs roasting over an open fire in NY, and the AI developments in the last few years including the 'Neuralink™', I believe the Firesign Theater's vision of 'The Future®' are dead-on track.

I really thought their "booby chew" commercial was better

They should run this at the Superbowl! "Junk food and glitter geeks!"

"That stuff makes me want to puke.....Junk foods and Glitter geeks!" Very well I can get used to liking The Firesign Theater but it's hilariously inescapable, right?

See, to get a wider audience these guys dumbed everything way way down. How else would they get the Cheech and Chong audience to pay attention?

somehow I remember seeing this as a kid. My parents were twisted

Reality (2020) once again reflecting satire with the character leaving home and taking toilet paper with him.

Wow! That guy must be the first person ever to buy a pair of Donald Trump's butt ugly shoes.

I have been a fan of this comedy troop since 1972
