Brocktoon
For all the Mr. Belvedere fans out there, here’s a treat. The FULL theme, courtesy of YouTube. The video is a bit squished, but that won’t keep the jingle from embedding itself in your head the rest of the weekend.
Unfortunately, SNL’s “The Guy Who Plays Mr. Belvedere Fan Club” skit from 1992 is nowhere to be found. I did find a transcript.
And while we’re living the good life (yet), Christopher Hewett — the man behind the magic — was the first entry in my “Retro-bituary” series last year at YesButNoButYes. I honored a handful of celebrities whose deaths were under-reported. And lives under-appreciated. Those were some good times.
UPDATE: “Brocktoon” is one of the most popular search terms leading people to this site. Gotta give the people what they want. I found three clips of the Brocktoon sketch on YouTube. Here’s a taste:
Clip 1 (Phil Hartman)
Clip 2 (Mike Myers)
Clip 3 (Adam Sandler)
