It is funny i watched this when it aired in 1985 when i was 20 yrs old in Honolulu when I was in the Army.....I thought it was so funny and clever at the time....crazy the little things u sometimes remember...
wow! I find it so awesome when I watch these old clips I remember watching them when they aired live and all the details. 80s Letterman Show was so impactful during my HS/College years. These days I can barely remember what I did yesterday, but with this clip I damn sure knew that Joe was going to demonstrate how "That's some of the coolness in me." and that 'Fat Guy' and 'Fat Boy' were going to come together for a wonderful moment. What a great time for late night TV. Dave revolutionized it all and I thank him for such fond memories.
Now in my head i am picturing an absolutely heartwarming and beautiful true story film where the two Fat guys actually bonded and became best friends and their grandchildren still consider each other family after all of these years.
Ah, the good old days when people has cleverly upbeat or literally personalized plates. Now, you can be entertained by reading the list of "rejected plates" that are published by various States. LOL, I vaguely remember watching this originally, and then a few years ago on YT. Only the end stuck with "We are the World" as the two owners meet was unforgettable. My God, it doesn't look all that long ago, but these people would now be anywhere from their 60s to dead! No fat here....everything is solidly funny. The 70s cars may not have been that interesting only ten years onwards, but there is a resurgence in the "malaise era" vehicles. This is the epitome of the 1980s: classic Letterman comedy....(and "acool65"'s Miami Vice get-up).
LOL!!!!!!!!! oh indeed, I only knew maybe 3 people in my youth(early 1990's) who where slobs, and even back then they never got like today, the food was not poison back then is why.
Those blue California plates did not last long--they were the intermission between the classic black and yellow, and the blazing white. That iconic grey pall over the SFV---now THAT is the CA I grew up in. When a child is filling in a coloring book sky in SoCal, they won't be asking for a blue Crayola. 😂🖍😎
$25 for a personalised license plate? I haven't looked recently, but to get a personalised plate like one of those in the UK could have cost as much, if not more than the car you were putting it on at one time.
@Beau Shaw I may be misremembering slightly, but I recall a story of someone who paid almost £20,000 (possibly more) for a junker car just to get the number plates. I believe it was something like HRH 1. An acronym for Her or His Royal Highness 1... (it was just a coincidence) A lot of people here hated people who had personalised vanity plates when I was growing up.
I paid $100 in Canada 15 years ago to apply for mine, but it was a one time only payment, not a yearly add-on above and beyond my regular insurance. It cost me $25 to replace the plate when it was damaged during an accident.
@@jimfeedback3996 Thank you!. I knew it looked familiar and I couldn't place it and now that you told me what it, was I remembered my grandparents had an Aspen sedan.
Notice how Smoggy the air was in these clips. Recognize, folks that WE have cleaned up the air in CA QUITE A BIT since back then. It’s not completed but it’s certainly a Lot better. We live in a Democracy, where if you (the citizen) don’t like something, we can complain to our Representatives. We need to be sure that, no matter Who we choose for President in a few months, that person is Responsive to our Needs and Concerns. 🇺🇸
