Excerpt from the 9/12/2023 broadcast of VH1RetroFamilyMusicannel's "I Love the Oughties"
Bro-Day H. Brockie, Co-President of Amalgamated Humor and clone of present day co-president Brodie H. Brockie: Man, I do love the Oughties! I actually hadn't been grown yet at the time but I have seen all the holoscope reruns and I have some residual memories from my original. One of the things I really love about the oughties was how much, at that time, we really loved the 80s. Man, the 80s were awesome! In the oughties we would enjoy remembering how much we enjoyed Mr. Roboto in the 80s. Domorigato or whatever! Ha HA!
RJ White's brain preserved in a viscous fluid in a jar, Co-President of Amalgamated Humor: I remember one time in the oughties when one of the gals in the typing pool came in wearing 80s-style legwarmers. I beat her to death and we tossed the body in the pond out back. Try to do something about it now, the Extracted Brain Preservation Act of 2017 protects me, suckers!
Bro-Day: Man, Blondie was really awesome too. A little kitschy with all those synths maybe, but some good stuff on the whole. I remember my original enjoying rediscovering that group in the oughties. Wait, was Blondie from the 70s or 80s? I forget. Anyway, we loved them again in the oughties, but maybe not quite as much.
RJ White's brain: In retrospect, having Amalgamated Humor bankroll the Manimal feature film in 2007 may have been a mistake. We thought anything 80s was pure gold. Maybe not Manimal.
Bro-Day: I love Manimal: The Movie. It reminds me of Manimal: The TV Show! From the 80s! I LOVE THE 80s! Look, I'm a man! No, wait! I'm an animal! No wait, I'm a MANIMAL! RAAARRRRRR!
Jewel: Time has not been kind to me.
