The State: Difference between revisions

* [[Must Have Caffeine]]: "Coffee Family"

* [[Naked People Are Funny]]: Everybody in the troupe (yes, ''including'' Kerri) has been naked in at least one sketch. A few sketches in fact had ''everybody'' naked at once.

* [[Nonverbal Miscommunication]]: The International Sign For Choking -> The International Sign For My Friend Is Choking, I Don't Know The Heimlich Maneuver, Can You Call For Help -> The International Airport Sign For I Did Not Understand Your Last Message, I Was Raised In The Mountains Of Japan And Am Not Familiar With All The International Signs -> Japanese Kabuki for My Friend Is Almost Unconscious -> Tibetan Dance for The Waiter Is On Fire -> The International Sign for [[Man On Fire|I Am On Fire]] -> the Pueblo sign for I Hate Accountants -> The Accountant Dance of War -> The International Cry of It's OK, Big Misunderstanding, Everything's Fine, Except For The Guy At Table 4, Who's Unconscious -> signals to the busboy to get a stretcher for Table 4 -> the busboy gets Table 4 a year's supply of radishes -> the customer at Table 4 ''stops choking''

* [[Open-Minded Parent]] and [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Featured in the "Doug" sketches, much to Doug's consternation.

* [[Rip Van Winkle]]: Parodied in "Short Coma". He was in a coma for one of the most eventful early afternoons in history.

* [[Sex Sells]]: Parodied in a sketch where a newspaper re-tinkers every headline to read "Porno Sex Addict Rocks New York".

** The first season opening used an MTV version of CBS's Special title card.

** The second season used [[Benny Hill]]'s.

** Subverted with a sketch where a panel of snooty experts, asked to ''define'' "art", rapidly conclude that it's "like, paintings and stuff."

* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: Totally inverted in the "Where's The Mousey?" sketch, where we see ''what'' happened, as a huge stuffed mouse crashes onto a family's dining room table, while they keep shouting about "the mousey" but admitting they don't know why.
