Gas delivered directly to people’s homes is now a real thing in South Carolina — finally, Charlie’s accent will finally start to make sense.
On It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the Paddy’s Pub gang came up with one scheme in the Season Four episode “The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis” that they couldn’t get out of their systems: selling gas door to door. Mac, Charlie and Dennis never managed to get the the business off the ground, but they believed in the idea strongly enough that, when they abandoned their attempt to scab for striking garbage men in “The Gang Recycles Their Trash” in Season Eight, they agreed to return to the scheme that had apparently been on their minds for four years. Sadly, the Paddy’s Pub crew never quite followed through on their plan to perfect the formula for gas delivery.
As Saturday Night Live rolled into its 15th season in 1989, its first two episodes featured showbiz’s coolest action hero and its dweebiest nerd. The season opener was hosted by Bruce Willis, the smartass star of TV’s Moonlighting and cinema’s Die Hard. He even had a number five hit on the Billboard charts the previous year with “Respect Yourself.” Rick Moranis got the hosting nod for the season’s second episode, fresh off of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and playing musical comedy’s biggest dork, Seymour, in Little Shop of Horrors.
If Hollywood was a high school, Willis would be shoving Moranis into a locker. But when it came to late-night comedy, the bullying went the other way around.
