Gimmick account of Comedy Central's scheduling format for 1994. Not the actual Comedy Central Scheduling Department, but if this hiatus keeps up for too long, it's bound to become as neglected and forgotten as the real Comedy Central.

This Monday we look on the bright side of life and honor the kings of British comedy, the comedy troupe that came together in 1969 and birthed a generation of avant-garde, fetchez la vache comedy. It's...

Grab your favorite belt and sharpen your claws, for tonight we submit our mind and will to the 1980 Italian film "The Pumaman" starring Walter George Alton, Donald Pleasance, and Miguel Angel Fuentes.

#ComedyCentral #FridayPlayMiSTieForMe #ThePumaman
Comedy Central's graphic from their 1994 scheduling promo: "Friday Play MiSTie For Me All Request MST 3000" 1980s Italian movie poster for "L'uomo Puma" (The Puma Man). A caped superhero who I think is supposed to look like a blonde Walter George Alton but really doesn't is flying away from the Death Star. It's totally the Death Star, it's got the little satellite dish concavity up at the top and everything, like it's going to blow up Italian Alderaan. Anyway, the text says: "WALTER GEORGE ALTON * DONALD PLEASANCE L'UOMO PUMA con MIGUEL ANGEL FUENTES a la partecipazione straordinaria di SYDNE ROME regia di ALBERTO DE MARTINO una produzione distribuzione ADM FILMS DEPARTMENT * DEANTIR * METROPOLITAN TECHNICOLOR" and then some text I can't read.

In the 1990s, we were concerned about the rise of fascism draped in patriotism, and lead by an intelligent and charismatic leader. Turns out we should have been worried about the stupid Nazis instead!

Tonight, we vote for Bob Roberts!

Comedy Central's graphic "Wednesday Totally FREE Movies" from their 1994 promo. Movie poster for "Bob Roberts" (1992) with Tim Robbins wrapped in the American flag with an adjacent acoustic guitar. The text says: "Vote First Ask Questions Later. Bob Roberts Coming To A Senate Seat Near You" and then the credits which are too small to read by me and you can probably just look up on the IMDB page anyway.
