"Fridays TV Show" (1980) [Show F-03] "Battle Boy" #2 [03 of 10] 

THis is the skit that my dad saw and told me I couldn’t watch this anymore.

What I love about this is Richards plays a kid being an actual KID, with all the horrible shit that it entails. He's not a TV kid, he's a real life kid. This is way closer to how a lot of kids actually played with army guys.

Fridays was awesome!! After a night of drinking got to watch this show

Watched this with friends while stationed in West Germany during the early 80's, What a blast!

Man I remember this skit. When Seinfeld started I was Like...."Wait a minute...is that f@cking Battle Boy ?". Oh this is gonna be good :)

I came to find this exact sketch cause I remembered it so clearly from when I was a teenager.

When you were 10, this was hilarious. That's how old I was, and 1980 was fuckin AWESOME!! Probably only because it came right after the 70s, which can barely even be described....maybe "Paradise "!

The audience had Devo hats on, because this was Devo's first national show. They were the musical act.

ain't nothing like waiting in the quiet audience for the show Fridays to begin , director saying, "All quiet", then the countdown, 3,..2,..1... when, without any warning, comes Battle Boy, screaming at jet-decibel volume, "AAAHHH!!!" It's enough to cause a stroke!

I remember my friend telling me how funny this show was. Then I watched it and thought is wasn't. But I seen Melanie Chartoff, and was in love.

I loved the show “Fridays “. I wish it was still available somewhere.

Remember, this was on late night Friday, when parents were already asleep in bed after a long week of work, and many parents did not let their kids watch SNL. But teens stayed up to watch Fridays. I know I did. It was funnier if we got HAF first. Cable TV was not universal, not many VCRs in homes. This was unique boundary pushing Network TV comedy. The woman actually said a curse word, "hell". Such language was not allowed on network TV before 11pm. But "hell" occasionally slipped through if said in the proper context.

Damn, this was my childhood

Thank you. I vaguely remember this one skit from when I was a kid.

I was 12 when this came out. I remember a lot of it. Too funny.

After I got a BB gun my little plastic army men didn’t stand a chance!😂 And damn Melanie Chartoff was hot!😻

I get a kick out of Maryedith Burrell as the mother. ''You're gonna get the BELT!!!!" 6:18

The great Michael Richards...comedic gold! Jerry... GOLD!

This show was better than SNL in their hayday.

I remember this scene from when it aired. Fantastic, thanks

I was 12 in 1980 and watched this show on TV. Back when TV was good. Or so we all thought…..

I absolutly loved these skits and i want a atom blast tshirt now..😅😅

Fridays was a stone cold competitor of SNL . I was on a construction crew for ABC studios at that time and place. I always hoped Fridays would kick their ass. Sometimes,,,,,they did.

Man I was soooo in love with Melanie Chartoff. yeah yeah yeah yeah.

40 years ago. Gosh. Unreal

I was a kid and loved this back in the day.

Fridays was parodying SNL and testing the audience on whatvwas real and what was make believe. SNL had Kaufman on after Friday's because SNL was Afraid Fridays would surpass them.

This was such a great show!

Best skit ever on Fridays.

I remember seeing this and thinking this guy has this unique twitchy goofy mania about him...if he can harness it somehow I bet he'd become fairly succesful on some sitcom someday... about 8 or so years later Kramer was born

I remember this show well I kinda thought it gave S N L competition.

I remember watching this as a 7 yr old in 1980 and laughing my ass off, it doesn't hold up very well though, I guess you need to either be a kid or high...

great short lived show

TGIF 🙂 Is that Cosmo Kramer? "The Ass Man" ?😂😂😂

Never go full KID!

Never cared for that show but it was better than SNL was in 1980

Ever wonder why Gen X is so fucked up? Well, wonder no longer.

He reminds me of Stanley Spudowlski.

I want that t-shirt

F%cking hilarious!!!

I hear a pinch of The Rug Rats in this scetch! That Mel chic was hot back then!= Mmmmmmm yummy!

Yea that’s a nice set

Odd as heck. My first time seeing it.

The K man ☺

good gawd this is creepy to me and low quality I bet Larry David wants to forget this

classic

It’s the k man

Funny stuff! The whole cast was on coke obviously.

🤣🤣🤣

This wasn’t even a good ripoff of Saturday Night Live.

Be honest. Does anyone think this is funny? I think I kinda chuckled once, but mostly I cringed and was creeped out.

Geez 40 years later, this is not funny....

Not funny at all!!! Seinfeld was phenomenal though

Holy crap that was bad

That was horrible.

I watched this when I was 12. That shit was lame then..lame now.

That isn't funny at all. Bad writers bad actors. Just bad all the way around.

not funny

not funny. too bad.

Not
