    Chris Elliott is an under-appreciated comedic legend. Deadpan and odd AF, he is a true original.

      Here's where he got it. Bob [Elliott] and Ray. czcams.com/video/r8wB_nRRUD8/video.html

      He is not under-appreciated. Every person that knows who he is appreciates him. No one under-appreciates him.

    Chris drinking the oil has been burned into my memory since the original airdate. Perfect punchline to that skit, too.

    Well...
    I'd really like to see that bit when Dave called the Russian embassy on two separate nights, and by the second call, the guy who answered the phone seemed genuinely scared and he said to Dave @%#$& you!.
    It was a hoot.
    It opened all the pores in my body.
    Very refreshing.
