@^%& you, Buck, this is MY gift to the board

I was riding high on the happy hunting grounds of Youtube looking for bad TV clips and I happened upon this bit of Wisconsin-quality cheese.

It features Richard Dawson, Dorothy Stratten, the Village People, disco Have A Cigar, Mork dressed up as a Denver Broncos cheerleader and several Z-list (and a few A-list) late 70s celebs. This, my friends, is the shit.

Part I sets the scene. Part II has copious amounts of T&A roller disco and presents Anita Ward's Ring My Bell in a way I've always had in my mind, but never saw expressed so perfectly. Plus horrible doubles tennis.

Check out the beginning to Part III, featuring an uppity St. Paul TV anchor who was wasn't having this shit. The end of Part IV confirms my belief that Chuck Mangione is intended to be Sunday morning blow job-in-bed music.

This aired on network fucking TV, people, and I say that not because of the skin, but because of Dawson's awesomely tasteless jokes.

There are no words.

Dorothy Stratten. ... Oh, man. Dorothy Stratten.

 

WAYLON AND GODDAMN MADAM? How could you not mention them?!

 

"Playboy's Roller Disco & Pajama Party" (1979) - Part 2 - Richard Dawson, Hugh Hefner"

I am laughing just at the title.

 

Not on camera -- the end-of-Scarface pile of cocaine.

 

And they left the commercials. Fantastic!

 

James Brown did not seem amused by Wayland Flowers in part IV.

 

Jim Brown ... and he was probably thinking, "why I am here with this damn puppet when I could be balls-deep in Dorothy Stratton right now."

 

Sorry, yeah. Mondays.

 

I'd like to point out the I used 'gift' as a verb, like you'd find on a flier from a Chinese restaurant.
Whic makes for a much funnier thread title.

 

Even better than Battle of the Network Stars?
