I've seen. I looked at it a lot when I was watching that episode last
weekend, and it really did work. It made him look like he still had all
his hair.

That guy in the Clash looked like Sienfeld. What's up with that?

Do you want polite or do you want sincere?

Yes he did. I first became aware of this when Beavis & Butt-Head
watched and commented on the /video/ of "Should I Stay or Should I Go"
on their show. One of them asked "Hey, is that Seinfeld?" and the other
did a Seinfeld impression. :-)

Focus On Film
Raheem Abdul Mohammed...Eddie Murphy
...Ron Howard
Raheem Abdul Mohammed: Welcome to "Focus on Film." I'm Raheem Abdul
Mohammed, and I'm very happy to have as a very special guest on my show
tonight, Mr. Opie Cunningham himself, Ron Howard.
Ron Howard: Thank you. Well. Hello, Raheem, it's good to be here.
Raheem Abdul Mohammed: It's good to have you here, man. Look, tell me
somethin'. What was it like workin' on the "Andy Griffith Show"?
Ron Howard: Well, I tell you those were great years, but I'd really
rather talk about my directing career right now.
Raheem Abdul Mohammed: [interrupting] Yeah. But, look look look.
Listen, man, tell me somethin'. How did the Fonz, right, every time he
beat on the jukebox, how'd he make it come on all the time? And was
you, um, Andy Taylor's son or was you Howard Cunningham's son?
Ron Howard: Look, look, Raheem, I'm not Opie Taylor and I'm not Richie
Cunningham. I'm Ron Howard, I'm a grown man. You know I'm directing
now? Did you see the new movie I have out, "Night Shift"?
Raheem Abdul Mohammed: Was there any black people in it?
Ron Howard: No.
Raheem Abdul Mohammed: I didn't see it, then. What was it about?
Ron Howard: Oh, well, it was, uh, the story about these two pimps.
Raheem Abdul Mohammed: It's the story about two pimps and wasn't no
brothers in it? I don't know whether to say "Thank you" or punch you in
your mouth, man.
Ron Howard: Well, the next film that I'm going to be directing...
Raheem Abdul Mohammed: Yeah, but look look look, man, nobody cares
about the movies you're directing. To us and to me, you're always gonna
be little Opie, you know that?
Ron Howard: Well, thank you. That's nice, but I'm a grown man now, you
know, and I have a wife, I have a mustache, beautiful baby daughter.
Raheem Abdul Mohammed: You got a daughter?
Ron Howard: Yeah. Oh yeah.
Raheem Abdul Mohammed: Wow, man. I just can't picture little Opie
Cunningham doin' it. I can't picture nobody wantin' to do it with
little Opie Cunningham neither.
Ron Howard: Well actually, Raheem, I've done it a lot of times.
Raheem Abdul Mohammed: [grinning] Wow, Opie Cunningham, a sex machine.
You know, if you didn't shave that--if you shave that mustache off your
face, you would still look exactly like Opie Cunningham. That's why you
grew it, right? 'Cause people walk up to you on the street and say
"Hey, Opie Cunningham," right?
Ron Howard: All right. Let's talk about...
Raheem Abdul Mohammed: No no, let's talk about -- Look, I know,
speakin' for me, Raheem, and for the rest of the people in the country,
we would love to see our little Opie, I want my little Opie, I love
Opie, I love him. And I know I would love to have my little Opie
Cunningham back. I know the rest of the people out here agree with me
right? Let's get it! Opie Cunningham! Opie Cunningham, come on! Opie
Cunningham!... [audience joins him in chanting "Opie Cunningham!"]
[Raheem pulls out an electric razor and tries to shave off Ron Howard's
mustache]
Ron Howard: [Protests and takes razor from Raheem] Hey, knock that off!
Hey, come on, I'm not Opie Cunningham. I'm Ron Howard, you understand?
Ron Howard! I'm not the person you watch on television. And I'm not
cutting off my mustache for you, the public, or anybody else, you
understand, because I like it. Me, Ron Howard, the director. Not Opie
Taylor, not Richie Cunningham. And I have just one more thing to say to
you, Raheem: Sit on it, bucko! [Removes his wireless microphone and
exits]
Raheem Abdul Mohammed: [angrily] Well, ladies and gentlemen, I see the
truth finally comes out, huh? Opie Cunningham is a selfish bastard!
[Yelling offstage] Hey, what do "bucko" mean? What?! [To camera] I'm
gon' kill him! I'm Raheem Abdul Mohammed.

I belive that is why this tread started buck-o.

Simpsons, he is always wearing a hotel bath robe, house shoes, baseball cap
and has a martini in his hand. He is dressed like this even in public
settings. I can understand the baseball cap (to cover his bald head), but I
do not understand the rest. Does he have reputation as an alcoholic?
My favorite representation of him was on the Cartoon Network's 'Adult Swim'
series "STROKER & HOOP" where he is portrayed as a paranoid meglomaniac
armed with a mind control device (thus explaining the popularity of his
movies). The only way to escape the power of the mind control device is to
wear tin foil on your head.

hey, what do buck-o mean? :)
I didn't see the start of the thread, only the post I replied to, so it
could very well have been the reason why the thread started, but
I had watched it Sat night, so I figured I'd post it was just on :)

It's a reference to his first guest appearance on the show, when he was
a guest at Alec Baldwin and Kim Bassinger's house in the episode where
Homer became their personal assistant. In one scene, he walks in,
wearing a bathrobe and holding a drink, presumably to indicate that
he's been staying there for a while and is fully relaxed. Homer offers
to make Alec and Kim a "lawn mower" drink (wheat grass and vodka) and
Ron wants one too.
Now they draw him like that in every setting just as a reference to his
first appearance.

Ohhhhh...Kay. I do not regularly watch the Simpsons so I did not realize
that was his first appearance. Makes since now. Thanks.
