Unpleasant Stimuli
On Dec. 8, 1990, Chris Farley played a sweaty teenager named Kevin in a sketch called “Unpleasant Stimuli.” This was only Farley’s eighth episode of SNL, but Tom Hanks’s fifth turn at hosting. In the skit — which he totally steals, by the way — Farley enters through an upstage kitchen door, slams it and causes a prop spice rack to fall (like true professionals Jan Hooks, Farley and Hanks simply look at the fallen spice rack and move on. Now, I don’t believe the prop fell from the wall because Farley slammed the door so hard. Rather, I believe that wherever Farley went he was surrounded, at all times, by an invisible whirlwind of physical chaos. And this chaos was the source of a lot, a lot, a lot of comedy. The spice rack hitting something on its way down, followed by the bric-a-brac shattering on the stage floor sounds like an announcement of Chris Farley’s walk-on in the scene.

Kurt Braunohler’s Level 4 Grad Show @ The PIT
Nov. 30, 2006
(re: the Nov. 16 class show)
Hey everybody.
So we’re gonna have a very enjoyable show tonight.
and a man will ask his lady to marry him.
if everyone who can could get to the theatre at 6 pm tonight so we can go over the details of how that works, that would be great.
if you can’t no worries – but please be there at the LATEST by 6:30. walking in 5 minutes before the show goes on is not cool.
smoking dogs – those are cool.
+k
Go bigger. And while I’m at it … one, and a two and a three. & Oh, hi there.

Fifth July, 1955
Washington Improv Theater (photo via Grundlepuck).
The Bastion pointed out yesterday that Chicago’s gift to the world is improv (via Metroblogging Chicago), which began on July 5, 1955. Very few things have brought me so much joy.
