Weird Al, with Fran Drescher, in his 1989 movie UHF. For those who aren’t yet getting mail from AARP, low-budget Ultra High Frequency television stations used to feature local wannabe performers, and show things the networks didn’t want, such as Mexican wrestling.

You missed spelled “old”. I love it! Got something from them today.
We don’t need no stinking badgers!
This movie is genius.
Don’t forget “Wheel of Fish”!!!!!
And “Raul’s Wild Kingdom”!!!!
I watched it for the first time a few months ago. Not terrible.
Where did you get such a lovely spatula?
And Poodles how to fly
I LOVE this movie. “You get to drink from…THE FIREHOSE!!!!”
My wife loves it when we walk through the fish aisle /s and god help us if there’s a Red Snapper.

My favourite movie of all times! I’ve seen it hundreds of times.
when i was a kid in the 80s we still had a tv with an analog rotary dial, like an analog radio, and you could dial in uhf stations way high up there, on real narrow bands.
…don’t you know the dewey decimal system!?
So beautiful… Fran doesn’t look half bad either
I’ve never seen it but I love weird Al! I’ll just pop down to the ol Blockbuster and pick up a copy.

When I was about 10 I went with a friends family on a road trip to visit her grandmother in North Tonawanda New York. In February. That trip was my first introduction to KFC, Walmart, 10 pin bowling, and the fine film UHF. My friends older brother who must gave been about 14 put UHF on every day we were there.
We’re opening Al Capone’s glove capartment.
Young Fran Drescher was cute
SUPPLIES!!!
ROAD MAPS!
UHF was the Youtube from the before times
And Wally George.
Hey Bob, I made your favorite, a Twinkie Wiener Sandwich!!!
Conan the Librarian still freaking kills me to this day! 😂
I’ve been rewatching The Nanny on HBO and gotta say she’s a comedic genius! So charming
Our UHF stations in my Canadian hometown were pirate broadcasts of descrambled HBO, showtime, Cinemax, USA, back when those were all satellite channels. Ironically I first watched UHF on UHF.
This is the first thing I ever saw weird al in and so it was a shock to me he was known for his parody music because I thought he was a actor and comedian
Michael Richards was also in this movie and he was awesome
“Badgers? Badgers??? We don’t need no stinking badgers!!!”
—Broads don’t belong in broadcasting.—
I told my people, never call chicks broads.
What would daddy say if he were alive today?
(Help, let me out of this box, I can’t breath)!
You so stupid Phyllis weaver!!
UHF with comedy gold. Everyone was hilarious in it
Love this movie. Saw it as a kid. It was amazing!
“Lesbian Nazi hookers abducted by UFO’s and forced into weight loss programs. All this week on Town Talk!”
And:
“Hey Bobbo, wanna play a game? OK, look up. Look down. Now look at Mr. Frying Pan!” *BONK!*
What do you think R.J. Fletcher Senior would be saying if he were alive today?
This is one of the most underrated films ever. Right up there with stuff like Blazing Saddles in the best comedy of all time category in my book.
We got it all on UHF!
I just want to see if my interocetor can withstand a sudden charge of 20,000 volts.
yeah…
…it works.
…..I feel like a bag of moldy tangerines…
Bartender, ”what you havin?”
Weird Al: “I’ll have a blueberry daiquiri.”
