TomB and MarkN… I’m with you! I’ve been searching everywhere for any episode(s) of Tippy Turtle.

If you all come across a source, would you please let me know?

Just in case you’re interested, here’s the SNL transcript of Tippy’s title sequence:

On this same episode was the first appearance of a ‘Tippy Turtle’ cartoon. He sang “First I’m gonna’ bother everyone that I meet, then I’ll go home and get drunk”. Do you have access to that part of the show? I’ve been looking for it for years. I know, I know…the question is moot…

I remembered this being way funnier than it is — I laughed so hard back when I saw it on TV, and I didn’t laugh at all this time. Oh well, thanks for posting it!

Thanks!!!! I was hoping to find this on youtube,
but it was not there. But google found your site!
Was it really 23 years ago? Yikes!!!

I don’t agree with Jesse Jackson’s politics, but
this skit is hillarious! I must have heard this
in my head thousands of times over the years!

Thanks again!

I love the Internet. I just used the line “I get the car” today, and wanted to find the video from the Jesse Jackson skit on SNL all those years ago. A little search and POOF! Here it is. Thanks for finding it, guys. Fun memories.

Thank You, Thank You. I saw this during it’s first airing in 1984 as well. It’s amazing to see how funny Jesse Jackson and SNL were not so long ago.

Weird, it works for me.

Try this direct link instead:

http://menino.com/question-is-moot.mov

That’s a direct link, while the other one was through a mirror thing.

If it still doesn’t work, e-mail me (miguel at menino) and I’ll e-mail it to you directly.

Miguel,

I was hoping to show the video to someone as well but am having difficulty with the link you provided.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Warren, I’ve put a link to my mirror of the video — it works now.

Miguel -

First of all, that Ronaldo optical illusion is really cool. Second, though, I was hoping you could direct me to a working copy of the Jesse Jackson Question is Moot video. I can’t find it anywhere and was really hoping to show it to a friend. Do you have a copy you can email me? If not, do you know where I can get a copy?

Thanks,
Warren
