Show sketches

  • Svenard's: First ad, second ad.
  • During the airing of The Brain That Wouldn't Die, they played a clip of various characters (most of which are played by Koz in different forms of makeup) auditioning for the fiance's role. Evidently, none of them took the script seriously at all. Some highlights include...
    Jerry Mathers: Oh, gee, dad! Wait till you see what that rat Eddie Haskel did to me THIS time! [AAAAW!]
    Tombstone: Woah! Forget it! I refuse to do this part! It's typecasting! [HONK]
    Doug Graves: This is a drag. Can someone tell me how I'm supposed to play piano like this? [RIMSHOT]
    Col. Sanders: I'm sorry, but we're all out of legs, thighs, and breasts. [Collective Groan]
  • "Poverty Mutual", a parody of "Liberty Mutual", shown during Duel. A revised version also played during The Car.
    Narrator: You owned your car for four years. You named it "Bad", after the way you drive.
  • The Boa Brace, a parody of them extremely poorly made Health Hotline knee brace commercials.
  • Vampire Carpets, a parody of this Empire Carpets commercial. There's a reason it gets referenced every anniversary.
  • This "coming back from commercial break" gag in the airing of The Ghost of Frankenstein:
    Fraido: Do you know how to get Sven to get out of jury duty?
    Ludwig Frankenstein: We'll find a way. We'll find a way.
    • Another one in Jungle Woman (paraphrased):
    Svengoolie: My dad gave me the option of either finishing school or inheriting his hot dog stand. What should I do?
    Character in film: Take the stand.
    • The Car: Sven's nitpicking the movie, eventually being shouted to "SHUT UP, SHUT UP!" by the character in the film.
    • The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll:
    Svengoolie: Do you have any idea where I can go after the show?
    Character in the film: Go back to Hell.
  • The doorway joke in Forbidden Planet:
    Person at door: Tell me: What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?
    Svengoolie: Wait, you want to know-
    Person at door: What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?
    Svengoolie: Well I don't know. What is the difference between ignorance and apathy?
    Person at door: I don't know, and I don't care.
    • Even funnier, afterwards, the usual "We're the boys of chorus" song is cut because the movie ran long and it goes right to "Goodnight, everybody!", surprising Sven (and likely Rich Koz, the man who plays him).
    Svengoolie: Boy, we interrupted that! (runs off-camera)
  • Dy Pillow.
    Dy Pillow: Order your Dy Pillow now, and I'll send you absolutely free our satin soft, waterproof, dirt-resistant, drool-resistant pillowcase!
    Character in film: Bah. Why do you have to drag out the case?
    Dy Pillow owner: So they think they're getting a deal on something that's way overpriced already- I mean...
  • During the 2019 airing of Dracula (1931): The parody of Frasier called Fraid?sure.
  • The time Triumph the Insult Comic Dog made a surprise appearance at the door.
  • This segue from The Incredible Shrinking Man:
    Robert: I'm getting smaller, Lou, every day.
    Svengoolie: Did you hear that, Lou? He's getting smaller every day, but he still has spunk!
    Ed Asner: I hate spunk! And rubber chickens.
  • "The Thing With Two Heads" had a funny subversion of the Perry Mason Running Gag:
    Svengoolie: He [Don Marshall] worked with Raymond Burr on... (Perry Mason theme starts to play) No no no, he played on Ironside.
