Bad Idea Jeans

Anyone remember this? DH and I use this phrase as part of our vocabulary.
For example, me trying to start the pushmower? Bad Idea Jeans. Getting rid of John Gambling from WABC radio? Bad Idea Jeans. Putting Kathie Lee Gifford on the Today Show? Bad Idea Jeans.

Guy #1: Hey, we've got our apartment. We ripped up the floors, pipes, wiring, and having everything completely redone.

Guy #2: You're renting, right?

Guy #1: Yeah.

Guy #4: Now that I have kids, I feel a lot better having a gun in the house.

  1. I LOVED Bad Idea Jeans! Poor Phil Hartman.

    For some reason my favorite is Sportscenter with Ray Romano and Tim Meadows...Sweet Sassy Molassy!

    Christopher Walken/ Tim Meadows "The Census" is good too.

  2. I'd never seen the Sweet Sassy Molassy or the Census one - I was laughing so hard just over the transcripts! Thanks for sharing! I think Christopher Walken got some of the THE best skits. One of my other faves is the "More Cowbell" one - "I got a fever! And the only prescription.. is more cowbell!", that's a pretty popular one I think tho.

I read each and every comment, and though I don't always get a chance to respond, I enjoy reading (and pondering) what you have to say. Thanks for your 2 cents! :-)
