    Episode 4

    I did not get cataract surgery to see that!

    Staler and Waldorf from the Balcony Episode 4 is now up; if they were any less funny they would have a show on the internet!

    This episode has trailers for both Duece Bigalow: European Gigalow and Dukes of hazard, and also features the Sewdish Chef making a pair of Daisy Dukes.

    Bill (I presume) as The Swedish Chef is very good in classic Chef style as he begins of course with a bunch of daisies (or was it self-rasing flower?) to make a pair of Daisy Dukes.

    Bill must have done mustof his characters by now, I'd expect Pepe to return next week, but who knows we might see Bobo, Dr Teeth and even Zippety Zap or Clueless soon.

    Oh, and just time for this week's Balconism:

    COUGH-in

    When you see a main character cough in the first half of the movie and you know that they’ll be dead by the end of the film!

    *jaw drops*

    The Swedish Chef...he...that is...and then...wow...

    Call me sad, but I thought this Swedish Chef was the best voice replacement I've seen so far. He has life, he has the voice, and he has more charcter than I have seen for a long while. His voice, while slightly less fast and furious as Jims, was pretty much right on. I thought. Perhaps a teeny bit younger sounding then Jim's Chef....still, the Daisy Dukems was hilarious. the Daisies, and the look on his face when he picked them up! And teh smipping...

    Well, I liked it. Your thoughts folks?

    Well I thought it was dandylions!

    ...er, I mean dandy. Sorry, I like to replace dandy with dandylions, but I realized that doesn't quite work in this situation because we're talking about daisies... sort of... um, yeah.
  6. Emosewa New Member

    Haha, yeah. I loved the Chef. ^_^ And a little moonshining to the daisy dukes. ^_^

    That's funny. I love these new little shows on Movies.com. Great stuff, and edgy, too.

    Chef was funny, too. Good to see him back.

    I actually did not like it much I thought the Chef was horrible. Bill does not seem to do well with Chef at all. The voice constantly cracked it it sounded more like the same 3 words over and over again than a real mock swedish language. I'm starting to get annoyed while watching thse now.

    Why so annoyed?
  10. MWoO Active Member

    They just don't seem funny anymore and the acting is so hack. I just don't think it is natural. I actually get annoyed while watching.
  11. AndyWan Kenobi Active Member

    Just watched it--hard to get online, because I'm out of town, but it was worth it. Wow, Bill's Chef was terrific! That whole bit cracked me up--it felt so classic!
  12. Vic Romano Active Member

    I liked the "Deuce Bigalo - Straight to Video" gag, but all in all, the jokes are hit or miss, mostly miss, but more tolerable this week.

    The Chef was pretty good at first, but I agree with MWoO (for once :rolleyes: ) that it seemed to repeat the same words. That sketch was too long, and I was a little embarassed when he couldn't het his finger in his mouth.

    On a positive note, I feel they're getting better. The special guest Muppets are the best part, I always get excited to see the classic characters (MORE ROWLF!!! :sympathy: ) Any idea if any regulars will show up? Either way, I'm glad they have an outlet, I'll keep watching them. :)

    Yeah, i actually thought that was hilarious. I was like "Oh my God! The chef is an idiot!" Actually reminded me of the Whose Line Is It Anyway game called "helping hands". They actually did do one like this where Ryan was supposed to be a baker and he looked a lot like the Swedish Chef, especially with Colins hands.
  14. rexcrk Active Member

    I love these bi-weekly Statler and Waldorf segments. It's like the best laugh I get all week (or would that be every two weeks? lol). Swedish Chef was great but when he couldn't get his finger in his mouth reminded of the first Ninja Turtles movie when Donatello poked his face with a popsicle stick a couple times before getting it in his mouth lol.

    The music that played during the Chef's segment seemed really classic to me.
  15. BEAR Active Member


    Yeah it was nice they put the Chef in his classic setting, with the music and everything.

    I enjoyed every bit of if. Great to see the Chef back. Go Chef! I hope they can get Link in there. I would love to see Link, Dr. Teeth, Floyd or the whole EMB. That would be cool.
  17. beaker Well-Known Member

    My goodness, these keep getting more edgy and random...I LOVE IT!
    Maybe Disney is taking a cue from Wonder Showzen?

    I mean references to illegal mexican drug smuggling, bashing Nascar/confederate flag culture...and Swedish Chef pulling out aframed mugshot of OJ Simpson?
    That was completely out of leftfield. I can't wait to see how insane they go with these things.

    I thought Swedish Chef was spot on, 100%. Tho I noticed they took down the bonus clip with pepe, no doubt due to all the adult film references:)
    Keep em coming Disney! Ya just may redeem yourself^^
  18. MWoO Active Member

    After ewatching the Chef clip again, and this time knowing what it was about, it wasn't that bad. I liked the OJ Simpson reference. Bill and who ever did the hands could use some practice though. The hands are a big part of the performance and the two performers have to be co-ordinated.

    That being said, I think there is a reason Statler and Waldorf don't get many lines in productions. They can get old fast. I can not wait until they go back to heckling once in awhile.

    I really hope we get a another performer doing the middle segment next week. Not that I don't love Bill's performance, I just want to see some other unused characters take the spot light. Well, maybe another can take the spot light after Bobo. I love Bobo.
  19. MrsPepper Active Member

    I'm dissapointed they took down Pepe's clip. I loved the spots he was doing, I thought it was so out there are really funny. I sent in feedback asking, "Why no more Pepe for DVD reviews?"
  20. beaker Well-Known Member


    I guess some mortified parents complained. Did anyone video capture th ebonus clips? I still can't figure out how to do that. At any rate, it's amazing how there are still people out there who have no clue that the Muppets transcent G rated material, and can be seen on whole different plains of ideas and humor.
