Alright, everything's back in order now, after Hurricane Bootsy blew this place to bits.
00:44
[canned laughter]
00:50
Who's laughing?
00:54
[laughter]
00:55
That wasn't even funny!
00:56
- Here's your table.
- Ah!
00:58
Where'd you come from?
00:59
- I've been here, I've been helping you clean up.
01:00
- Oh right, thanks.
01:02
- Well, I gotta go.
01:04
- Oh come on, let's uh, play another game.
01:06
- I gotta go, uh... wash my hair...
01:08
[laughter]
01:10
Oh come on, just one more game!
01:13
Full House!
01:15
- They made a game based on Full House? How's that possible?
01:16
Board James: Because anything popular can be immortalized in cardboard, I don't know!
01:19
It was made by Tiger, the same company that made the handheld electronic version of Full House.
01:23
For some reason, Full House was such a big show.
01:28
Remember every Friday night? If you weren't going to the video store to rent a movie,
01:31
you and your family would be stting around the living room watching TGIF.
01:34
The TV marathon with Full House, Family Matters...
01:38
- Perfect Strangers, Step By Step.
01:41
- Yeah, you remember TGIF. Yeah.
01:42
Bad Luck Bootsy: (singing) Friday Night, and the mood is right...
01:44
[applause]
Gonna have some fun, show you how it's done, TGIF!
01:48
Board James: Oh come on, Bootsy, how can you just barge into somebody's house like that?
01:51
- Don't you ever knock?
01:55
I looked in the window to make sure no one was in their underwear. [canned laughter]
01:57
Both: He sucks his own dick. [canned laughter]
02:01
[video game spring sounds]
02:03
Board James: The object of the game is to drive around town looking for all the 6 members of the family and bring them back home.
02:05
They might be at the movie theater, the mall, the school...
02:11
It's like a collection of all the different places from your childhood.
02:14
Roll a die, move your car, and when you land on a place, you draw one card.
02:18
When you find Danny, Jesse, D.J., Stephanie, Michelle, and Becky and the Twins...
02:22
You bring them back to the house, so it's a full hand of cards.
02:26
- Like a Full House!
02:29
- Yeah, it's a fucking Full House!
02:31
- That's so stupid...
02:33
Board James: If you land on a Joey Joke space, you draw a Joey Joke card...
02:34
You tell the joke and then you get an extra turn.
02:37
- Why do we have to tell the joke? Can't I just take the extra turn?
02:40
- 'Cause that's how the game's played, it says...
02:43
"As a reward for your joke, you immediately get another turn."
02:45
"I was pretty crazy in the 70's, now I can get crazy at any temperature."
02:48
[canned laughter]
02:52
Board James: To say, these jokes are not funny at all..
02:53
"I love working in television, but they're getting so small and the wires get in the way."
02:56
- [laughing] Oh my God, you gotta be kidding me.
03:00
Board James: "My dad had good advice when I was a kid, I'd get real crazy at times,
03:03
"and he said 'Don't get carried away, you'll have to walk back.'"
03:07
Bad Luck Bootsy: [strange noises]
03:10
Aah, what do you know, another one.
03:16
"My mom is such a bad cook, we'd say grace after dinner!" [laughs]
03:18
What do you know? Can't help but keep landing on these joke spaces.
03:24
"I got fired from my factory job, my boss didn't like me coming in late, I told him I was trying to cut down on my mistakes."
03:27
- I don't remember jokes from the show ever being this bad.
03:36
Whatever happened to the humor from the show?
What about...
03:39
"Is it made of wood?"
03:42
- "You got it, dude!"
03:44
- Oh my lanta.
03:46
- "Cut it out."
03:47
- "Duuuh."
03:48
- Oh nuts..
03:49
- Agagagaga!
03:50
- "You're in big trouble, mister!"
03:51
- Oh, please.
03:52
- "Have mercy."
03:54
- "How rude!"
03:55
- "Not the haiiir."
03:56
- "Will you stifle yourself, heh?"
03:58
- Enough! Enough! I can't take the laugh tracks anymore!
04:02
Alright, well, you wanna play another game? Keeping in tradition with the TGIF marathon...
04:06
Dinosaurs!
04:12
MotherFucker Mike: TGIF? Dinosaurs isn't a show I think about when I think of TGIF.
04:13
Oh, they changed the schedule a bunch of times, but it was on there!
04:17
- Yeah, on there for like 2 minutes.
04:20
- Aaah, I've never even watched it.
04:21
- Well, fuck you guys then.
04:24
Here's one that everybody knows!
04:26
Steve Urkel from Family Matters in Do The Urkel!
04:29
Everybody knows Urkel, he was my hero, I looked up to Urkel!
04:33
- That's because you're such a nerd.
04:37
Board James: The object of the game is to be the first player to collect eight halves of bowtie cards to make four bowties.
04:40
MotherFucker Mike: Bowties? Why do you got to collect bowties?
04:45
Board James: Because Urkel wears bowties.
04:47
- Why isn't it cheese or anything?
04:49
- I don't know guys, can we just play the fucking game!?
04:51
To get bowties, you set them up in this 4-sided tray and roll the die.
04:54
You take whichever bowtie the arrows are facing.
04:58
Turn them around and you might have to perform an action.
05:00
- "Laugh and Snort", Can't I just take it?
05:04
Do I really have to laugh and snort?
05:06
- You gotta do it, that's how you play the game.
05:07
Alright.
05:09
Heeheeheeheehee! [snorts]
05:10
Bad Luck Bootsy: "Sing the Urkel Song"?
05:13
I don't know the words, how does that go?
05:14
Board James: It's in the box, sing it.
05:16
Bad Luck Bootsy: [rapping] Now if you wanna do the Steve Urkel dance,
05:18
all you have to do is hitch up your pants,
05:20
bend your knees and stick out your pelvis,
05:22
I'm telling you, baby, it's better than Elvis!
05:24
Board James: "Imitate Urkel."
05:28
[imitating Urkel] "Anybody got any cheese?"
05:30
Bad Luck Bootsy: "Hike up your pants?"
05:34
- Hike up the damn pants.
05:35
- You have to do it! We're playing by the rules, hike 'em up!
05:36
- Alright.
05:39
[groaning]
05:41
Another one?
05:45
- More, more!
05:46
- Hike those pants up!
05:48
Gotta hike up the pants. Hike up the pants!
05:49
Bad Luck Bootsy: Another one!?
05:54
MotherFucker Mike: Up, up, up, up...
Board James: Hike up your pants! You cunt face fucking shithead, fuckface!
05:55
Asshole! Bitch fucking shithead fuckface!
05:59
- [laughing]
06:03
Bad Luck Bootsy: [high-pitched groaning]
Board James: Yeah, oh, oh God, ahh...
06:04
Board James: If you get a Do the Urkel card, you can play it against another player and make them do the Urkel.
06:11
You gotta do the Urkel.
06:16
- So I have to dance?
06:17
Board James: Not exactly, according to these instructions, you're supposed to put on this Steve Urkel finger puppet...
06:19
...and dance your fingers around on these numbered spaces.
06:24
That's not all, you're also supposed to wear these cardboard glasses, so that you can't see anything.
06:28
[canned laughter]
06:33
- You like these glasses, don't ya?
06:36
They'd suit you!
06:41
- No, they wouldn't.
06:42
Instructions say, you stop dancing at any time, look at the numbered area that each finger is touching...
06:45
..Take the higher of the two numbers and return that number of bowtie cards to the bottom of the deck.
06:50
Bad Luck Bootsy: Eh, heh! This is great, lemme try that, lemme try that!
06:55
I don't know where I'm going, I'm dancin' now, I'm dancin'
06:58
Board James: No, no, no, watch it, watch it!
07:00
What's going on? I can't see! I'm blind!
07:04
I can't see! I can't see!
07:07
Help me! I can't see!
07:11
Mm, did I do that?
07:15
- I can't stand the laughter, why, God, does it keep laughing...
07:17
STOP! I can't take any more!
07:21
Why is it all have got to be laugh, laugh! Laugh! Tell me when to laugh! Ha ha ha! HA HA!
07:23
Tell me when to laugh! [maniacal laughter]
07:28
[sobbing]
07:31
- James, James, James, James, what's the matter, what's the matter?
07:34
- Yeah, James. If something's bothering you, you can tell us.
07:37
- I, uh.. just don't know what the point of all the laughter is.
07:44
- I know how you feel, but...
07:48
laughter is a big part of human nature.
07:49
- Hearing laughter creates the illusion that...
07:52
..other people are there.
07:55
- It makes you feel like you're a part of a group.
07:57
- Without it, you feel alone...
07:59
..you don't like feeling alone, right?
08:03
- I'm not alone, I have friends.
08:05
- You don't have any friends.
08:08
- You don't need to pretend...
08:09
It's okay not to have any friends.
08:12
- Hey! Stop touching my balls!
08:20
Hey, where'd all the balls go, you have all the-
08:23
HEY! You asshole!
08:28
You guys are my friends, guys? Guys!?
