He is best known for his "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey", a large body of surrealistic one-liner jokes, as well as his "Fuzzy Memories" and "My Big Thick Novel" shorts, and for his deadpan delivery. [1] Although many people assume otherwise, [2] [3] Handey is a real person, not a pen name or character. Contents. Career Deep Thoughts Other SNL work Further writing Personal life Bibliography Books Selected essays Television writing References External links. Career. Handey's earliest writing job was for a newspaper, the San Antonio Express-News . He lost the job after writing an article that, in his words, "offended local car dealerships". [3] His first comic writing was with comedian Steve Martin. According to Martin, Handey got a job writing for Saturday Night Live after Martin introduced Handey to the show's creator, Lorne Michaels. [4] For several years Handey worked on other television projects: the Canadian sketch series Bizarre in 1980; the 1980 Steve Martin television special Comedy Is Not Pretty! ; and Lorne Michaels' short-lived sketch show on NBC called The New Show in 1984. Handey returned to Saturday Night Live in 1985 as a writer. [2] Deep Thoughts. In April 1984, National Lampoon published the first of Jack Handey's Deep Thoughts. Additional Deep Thoughts appeared in the October and November 1984 editions as well as in the short-lived comedy magazine Army Man , while more appeared in 1988 in The Santa Fe New Mexican . The one-liners were to become Handey's signature work, notable for their concise humor and their outlandish hypothetical situations. For example: If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason. [5] The crows seemed to be calling his name, thought Caw. [6] Handey's work next showed up in the Michael Nesmith-produced TV series Television Parts in the format which later became famous on Saturday Night Live (though in Television Parts , Nesmith provided the narration). Some of these segments appeared in the compilation video of that program, Doctor Duck's Super Secret All-Purpose Sauce . Between 1989 and 1990, Deep Thoughts were shown during commercial breaks on The Comedy Channel with Handey's narration. Between 1991 and 1998, Saturday Night Live included Deep Thoughts on the show as an interstitial segment (between sketches). Introduced by Phil Hartman and read live by Handey (neither actually appeared on screen), the one-liners proved to be extremely popular. Hartman intoned "And now, Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handey. ", and peaceful easy listening music played while the screen showed soothing pastoral scenes, much like a New Age relaxation video. Handey then read the Deep Thought as the text to it scrolled across the screen. They became an enduring feature of SNL , which often had multiple Thoughts in each episode, and made Handey a well-known name. Other SNL work. Other Handey creations that appeared on SNL include the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, [2] "Fuzzy Memories" which depicted reenactments of a twisted childhood memory and aired in the late 1990s, and the short-lived "My Big Thick Novel", which were spoken excerpts from a very long book in the style of "Deep Thoughts" and which aired during the 2001–03 seasons of SNL. Handey is also credited with creating Toonces the Driving Cat, the cat who could drive a car, although not very well. [7] The recurring skit originated in 1989 with Steve Martin and Victoria Jackson as the crash-prone kitten's owners. In 1992 NBC aired a half-hour Toonces special. Handey, who lived with a real cat by the same name, once said he could not remember exactly how he dreamed up the premise. He said, "It was just one of those free association ideas you write down and look at later and think, 'Maybe. ' " [7] Further writing. In early April 2008, Handey published his first collection of magazine humor pieces, What I'd Say to the Martians and Other Veiled Threats . Associated Press critic Jake Coyle wrote, "With absurdist musings such as these, Handey has established himself as the strangest of birds: a famous comedian whose platform is not the stage or screen, but the page." [4] Handey subsequently became a regular contributor to The New Yorker Shouts and Murmurs section. [8] On July 16, 2013 Handey's first novel, The Stench of Honolulu , was released with publisher Grand Central. [9] Personal life. Handey was born in San Antonio, Texas, in 1949. His family later moved to El Paso, Texas, where Handey attended Eastwood High School (where he was editor of Sabre, the school newspaper) and the University of Texas at El Paso. Jack Handey lives with his wife, Marta Chavez Handey, [5] in Santa Fe, New Mexico. [10] Previously, the Handeys had lived in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. [3] Bibliography.

Fridays is a late-night live comedy show that aired on ABC on Friday nights from April 11, 1980 to April 23, 1982. The " Happy Fun Ball " was the subject of a series of parody advertisements on Saturday Night Live . Described as a "classic that can sit right up there with Dan Aykroyd's Bass-o-Matic", it originally aired February 16, 1991 on NBC and was brought back for several "Best Of" specials. The topic of the sketch is a toy rubber ball, the advertisement for which is accompanied by a long series of bizarre disclaimers and increasingly ominous warnings, including "Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball". Jonathan Michael Lovitz is an American actor, comedian, and singer. He is best known as a cast member of Saturday Night Live from 1985 to 1990.

Saturday Night Live is an American late-night live television sketch comedy and variety show created by Lorne Michaels and developed by Dick Ebersol. The show premiere was hosted by George Carlin on NBC on October 11, 1975, under the original title NBC's Saturday Night . The show's comedy sketches, which often parody contemporary culture and politics, are performed by a large and varying cast of repertory and newer cast members. Each episode is hosted by a celebrity guest, who usually delivers the opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast, with featured performances by a musical guest. An episode normally begins with a cold open sketch that ends with someone breaking character and proclaiming, "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!", properly beginning the show.

  • Warnings, Disclaimers, and Literary Theory
    Reading the Product: Warnings, Disclaimers, and Literary Theory Laura A. Heymann* I. INTRODUCTION Few television commercials for alcohol end with the protagonist slumped unconscious on the couch, falling off a bar stool, or driving a car into a telephone pole. To the contrary, as many of us have experienced, advertising writes a very different narrative: that purchase and consumption of the advertised beverage will make one more attractive, expand one's social circle, and yield unbridled happiness. It is a story that, the advertiser hopes, will inspire consumers to choose its beverage during the next trip to the store; in this vein, the true protagonist of the commercial is the brand. Marketing scholars and, to a lesser extent, trademark scholars have increasingly viewed advertising and branding through the lens of literary theory, recognizing that consumers interpret communications about a product using many of the same tools that they use to interpret other kinds of texts.1 But this lens has not been similarly focused on an important counternarrative: the warning or disclaimer (such as "Caution: This product may contain nuts" on a candy bar or "Not authorized by * Associate Professor of Law, College of William & Mary - Marshall-Wythe School of Law.

    SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE AND PHILOSOPHY ffirs_UK.indd 1 08-01-2020 21:06:50 The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series Series editor William Irwin A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, and a healthy helping of popular culture clears the cobwebs from Kant. Philosophy has had a public relations problem for a few centuries now. This series aims to change that, showing that philosophy is relevant to your life—and not just for answering the big questions like “To be or not to be?” but for answering the little questions: “To watch or not to watch South Park?” Thinking deeply about TV, movies, and music doesn’t make you a “complete idiot.” In fact it might make you a philosopher, someone who believes the unexamined life is not worth living and the unexamined cartoon is not worth watching.

  • 14. Products Liability
    14. Products Liability “Happy Fun Ball! … Get one today! Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly, and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Happy Fun Ball. Caution: Happy Fun Ball may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds. … Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.” – Saturday Night Live, 1991 Introduction We live in a consumer society, where all of us are constantly bombarded with marketing aimed at getting us to buy more stuff. In America’s early days, what we now think of as “products” were rarities. Items used in the household were commonly handmade by a member of that household. People made their own clothing, canned their own fruit, and built their own furniture. Other items were made in one-off fashion by craftspeople – cobblers made shoes, coopers made barrels, blacksmiths made hardware. Mass manufacturing changed all that. In 1893, the first Sears Roebuck & Company catalog was distributed, offering for sale jewelry and watches, and by the next year, saddles, bicycles, baby carriages, firearms, clothing, and many other items. Today, we are dependent in our modern lives on an uncountable multitude of commercial firms to provide us with the items we use minute by minute. And many of these products have the potential to hurt us. When things go wrong, doctrines of products liability determine who can be held liable. Multiple Theories of Recovery for Products Liability There are multiple ways for a plaintiff to sue for damages stemming from a product. Three in particular are important: warranty, negligence, and strict products liability. A plaintiff might sue on all three theories in the same lawsuit.

  • A Collection of Sacred Magick | the Esoteric Library | 23 Apples of Eris’ Introduction
    . A Collection of Sacred Magick | The Esoteric Library | www.sacred-magick.com 23 Apples of Eris Introduction Well, here it is - the closest thing youre going to get to the real Principia Discordia without actually going out and stealing a copy... and its totally free of charge (so just pre- tend you stole it, we wont tell)! We scanned every page of the Loompanics Edition of the Principia Discordia and yanked out everything we could not reproduce with text in PageMaker. I swear, this file couldnt be much smaller than it is right now and still cover the entire Principia. We got into an argument among ourselves as to whether or not to include the Steve Jackson Games editions pages at the end of this document, and after much biting and spitting, we decided to. It makes the file bigger and were not exactly fans of Steve Jack- son (who steals Discordian imagery, like any good Discordian would, but then turns around and copyrights them), but we figured some of you might want to see those additional pages enough to go out and purchase a copy, and wed rather give it to you. If you want us to illegally reproduce anything else they do, let us know and we will attempt to procure and reproduce. Anyway, other than those pages, everything else has been yanked out of the Loompanics edition of the Principia, and everything is as close to the original as we could make it, spelling errors and all. When we couldnt find a font that was in the original, we chose the next closest thing or used the image instead.

  • Andrew Clark: OK, Welcome Everybody. (Applause) Got a Little Introduction Here
    Andrew Clark: OK, welcome everybody. (applause) Got a little introduction here. Born in 1952 in Berkeley, California, Jim Downey attended Harvard University, where he studied Russian and worked as the editor of the Harvard Lampoon. After he traveled Eastern Europe, Downey returned and submitted a writing sample to a show called Saturday Night Live. It didn’t take him long to make an impact. Downey worked closely with such comedians as Bill Murray, with whom he shared an office, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Gilda Radner and Laraine Newman. Over the next four decades, Downey worked with and wrote for every star the show has produced, including Eddie Murphy, Dana Carvey, Chris Farley, Norm Macdonald, Phil Hartman, Will Ferrell, Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, Amy Poehler, Kenan Thompson and dozens of others. Called by Lorne Michaels “the best political humorist alive,” Downey has been responsible for nearly every political-centered piece during Saturday Night Live’s run, starting with Jimmy Carter in the seventies and ending six administrations later with Barack Obama. The power of Downey’s political comedy extends beyond merely swaying public opinion. More impressively, his comedy has influenced the actual political landscape. The New York Times says of Downey, “When he has taken aim at the presidential debates, he has consistently defined the candidates before they can define themselves.” Downey has also coined legendary malapropisms, including the non-word “strategery,” out of the mouth of former president George W. Bush. In 2013, after working at SNL off and on for thirty-three of its thirty-eight seasons, only taking a few years off to write for Late Night with David Letterman in 1982 and after being temporarily fired in 1998, Downey retired from the show, and today he currently lives in rural central New York state, pursuing his lifetime goal of (being a) harmless eccentric.
