Shades of Mel Brooks

Post by fiatben »

I'm not one to normally promote someone else's work, but sometimes you find something so funny and so appropriate to a given group that you just gotta share....

Be warned, this guy is certifiable, but I really like all the subtleties and the parodies and just plain craziness. After all, between our obsessions with woodworking and Shopsmiths, aren't we just a wee bit certifiable also.

Anything I will watch twice has to be pretty entertaining.
