Ben Stiller Show - Skank's water waste controversy 

This is a parody of a TV show called Murphy Brown. The star of the show, Candace Bergen, was going toe-to-toe with then Vice President Dan Quayle. Kinda like a Twitter spat today.

Man, Janeane Garofalo was a cutie pie! Had the biggest crush on her back in junior high.

haha odenkirk doin an early senator tankerbell

Haha, funny how he gets so into that he actually breaks the puppet at the end.

Ben Stiller is one of my favorites. ive never heard of this show. When was it aired and all?

HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD BEING YOU AT YOUR FUNNIEST , LOVE YOU LOTS .

This is so funny!

Today.

stinkin trap lol

Man, Bob Odenkirk deserves some recognition if Andy Dick does.

"I'm making idiot juice. Now, jump in"

What a lascivious fandango! Haha Tankerbell for President 2012!!!!!!!

It's funny in both the ridiculous concept of the show (at the time, Fox was still a new network and would try almost anything to attract viewers) and the utter stupidity of the controversy.

Senator Tankerbell!

Love how bobs voice cracks lol and how he looks at the camera and audience after saying skanks line.just like a bob dole old politician.YEP...IM HIP

Wow, this has got to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen!!!!

"Shut your stinking TRAAAAAAP!"

Yeah, & tBSS was also going for the absurdist angle of a US Senator actually arguing w/a a socket puppet on national TV, IMO.

as good as this is, Manson is the best!!

HA HA HA ! Before there was Triumph The Insult Comic, there was SKANK !

Was this a spoof of Murphy Brown taking a clip from Dan Quayle commenting on the Murphy Brown character choosing to be a single mother? The show treated it as if he had attacked a real person. I thought it was stupid. Quayle had a valid point. Does the timing of the episode work out well for my theory?

Thanks for everything! Here’s a little something for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qDeVxNat4Hs.html

1992-1993

My brother graduated in 1992 and he had the same hairdo that Ben has in this skit.

I will not listen!

This has now come true in Orlando as the mayor said residents need to cut back on water usage because of (blah, blah, blah) liquid oxygen shortage!

I miss when people on TV wore Dahmer glasses. No I don't.

I think this was before 'skank' was used to describe hos.

If I comment, will this mess with the algorithm?

"Art Louwater" - main character in a skit (art) about waste (-ing) water

way to type what we just heard.

Wow this show really makes you have a fond appreciation of what Dave accomplished with the Chappelle Show...

Yeah let's judge American comedy by a crappy TV show that was on 20 years ago.

That was not funny, but who's the blonde?

wow, american comedy is weak man :/ ....

Agreed.
