worth a watch it’s unfortunately still very accurate about how the us is run lol
on the “ban”/removal: “Yes, it was pulled after its initial airing & it's easy to see why. BUT what always amazed me was that NBC let it on in the first place.
It did go through an extensive note process, beyond the Standards dept & up the executive ladder. I remember adding the "voices in my head" line per their request to make the narrator seem crazier, not that it made a big difference. But, to their credit, there was a real willingness not to censor the piece. It helped that Lorne Michaels supported it & that my cartoons were, at the time, one of the more popular things on the show (this was loooong ago). It went all the way to "NBC West Coast" honcho Don Ohlmeyer, who okay'd it even with the Norm/OJ reference. (Google it if you don't know)
I remember the cartoon aired much later than the usual TV Funhouse, because Lorne said Bob Wright, the President of NBC (who had NOT seen it) usually turned the show off after Weekend Update. On this night, however, Bob Wright got home late, and saw what he saw.
Months passed and all was calm until Adam McKay approached me. A pissed off crew member had let Adam know the sketch was being cut from the rerun, replaced by a second Backstreet Boys song, which had no mentions of GE polluting the environment. I wasn't especially surprised but Adam was fired up. He leaked the story to a few TV journalists who'd written about the cartoons, NBC claimed it wasn’t funny (not that it was)and that's why people know & still talk about it today.”

Something to sip on after your shower. Also it just feels like it doesn’t belong. It makes that loud clank every time you put it down on the sink and you’re like damn I have to be gentle. Feels risky. I love it.
