Whathey ja.
What I like most about this joke is that I recall hearing the very same
joke on a pier on the very same "great northern lake," namely Lake
Superior when I was a kid on a camping trip to northern Wisconsin. :)

Agreed.... it prompted me to write my first-ever
fan letter to anyone, for anything, anywhere..
yeah, Joel was great, but I am a BIG Mike Nelson
fan, when he can give us classic-can't-be-outdone
humor like A Joke By Ingmar Bregman....
anyone who has ever watched a Bergman movie could
not help but ROTFL..

Well, Ingmar Bergman isn't exactly a spring chicken either. And he owes
his U.S. presence to Roger Corman.

The Slits/Beer thing was actually a joke. I heard it before seeing it on
MST, so even though I've never seen a Ingmar Bergman film, it was still
funny.

Check out the *Death and Taxes* Promo BBI did for CC on the SCRAPBOOK
MST tape. It's got the exact same Bergman feel with Crow in the fore-
ground but with Joel in black hood in the background as the Spectre of
Death. (With coffe mug. <G> )

While I agree that the Joke by Ingmar Bergman was really
funny, it seemed to me that the reference was to a Schlitz
beer slogan that I thought I hadn't heard since about 1972.
In fact, hasn't Schiltz been pretty much gone (as a brand,
anyway) for a long time. I even think their Milwaukee
brewery ("The beer that made Milwaukee famous"), if not
the whole company was sold to someone else.
And if I'm missing the point of the Joke, please let me

No. In fact, you can still find the original Schlitz beer at
some rare places (Meijer in Michigan). In addition to their
newer Malt liquor which is available at most convenience stores.
I guess its time for me to admit the sad truth, but here it is...
About 4 years ago, I went home to my parents house for the
summer. One afternoon some friends and I were digging around in
one of our parent's basements, when we came across a bunch of
Schlitz signs, glasses, revolving lighted globes, etc. We were
all laughing when someone else said, "Yeah, my parents have a
bunch of this stuff, too!" Then we realized, all of our parents
did. So we gathered it all together and went searching for
Schlitz beer. We wanted the real thing, not the malt liquor
crap. Well we only found it at 1 place. The aforementioned
Meijer. So we bought 1 or 2 cases and had a party that weekend.
I have to say that Schlitz beer is by far the worst beer I have
ever tasted. And I've had Genny, Cinci, Iron City, Milwaukee's
Best, and many other bad, bad beers. On the up side, that's the
night my current girlfriend and I started seeing each other. So
I guess the moral of the story is that if you buy really crappy
beer and serve it to your closest friends, you'll find the love
of your life. Or something.

As a Wisconsin resident my whole life--and a college student for quite a few
years--I can tell you that there are worse beers than Schlitz. In reverse
order.....
5.) Hamm's...From the land of sky blue waters? I don't think so.
4.) Black Label...ick...
3.) Old Milwaukee...Great ads, but they have to be with beer like this.
2.) Red, White, & Blue...Once in college, the first time around, the Beer
Depot had a special on RWB...$3.99 for a case of 12oz. returnables...
Can you say clearance sale.
1.) Old Milwaukee Light...Fermented water was and still is the kindest
descrpition.

I remember Schlitz. And Blatz <sp?>. The unique thing about them
is that they're actually onomatopoeias--that is, the sound of the name is
identical to the sound you make as you forcefully eject the noxious brew

It's terrible when you're watching Bergman's "The Seventh Sign"
(no, not the one with Demi Moore in it -- that's "The Seventh Seal"
-- or is it the other way around?) and Death stalks on screen, and
all you can do is snicker.
It doesn't help that I saw Woody Allen's "Love and Death" before
I saw "The Seventh Sign."
Now that I'm a Mistie, I just can't appreciate Art. Crow, however,

In it's own little way. My experience at a monster truck race as a child

And I can tie all of this back to MST by saying the last time I
visited my cousin, who happen to be named Mike Nelson, in
Atlanta, he was telling me about the great deal he found on PBR.
But, he's not bearded, and doesn't have too strong of an
accent. or a 4x4. or a large gun rack. but strangely enough, he
is in the NRA. Oh yeah, and his brother is that scientist that

Utica Club! The very beer whose name leapt to mind the instant that I
saw this thread. Even cold, it tasted like warm piss. (I'm not *FROM*
upstate New York, but I did spend a very pleasant 4 years there.) (*NOT*
drinking Utica Club, thank you very much. Not more than once, I mean.)

Can't be worse than Burger. My senior year in college ('89), someone had
a kegger and got this swill because it was cheap. When I asked Scott how
much it cost, he said it was $16 for a keg, and Big Red Liquors threw in
a free roll of toilet paper. As Dave Barry says, I am not making this up.

How the heck Ramsey are ANY of the jokes on MST funny if you don't know
what they refer to? In fact, how are any jokes funny if you don't have
a clue what they are about? I could tell you a joke one deep-space
alien with a crystalline brain and radically different physiognomy
told another similar alien on the occasion of something you wouldn't
understand, but just because I'd told it, would you understand it?

Matt, I think the POINT of ANY joke on MST is if you get it or not...
the shows are a veritable warehouse of trivia from popular culture, sub- and
counter culture as well. It's like a test to see how many of the
different cultural references you can get in a single show....
obviously, the older you are, the more you'll get... I am the same age
or a little older than the writers, and I am from the midwest, (Chicago)
so I get all kinds of local references someone from California would miss.
I particularly love it when they do spoofs on radio commercials for, say,
drag racing, as I heard in my youth. With all the clever minds that contribute
to a single script, it's no wonder that the variety of jokes and popular-,
sub- and counter-culture references is so broad. Likewise, my 15 year
old daughter gets some more recent jokes that I don't...

Well, that of course is due to the high retiree population of
south Florida.

Too bad the heavy iron club shows don't stop there too.

(Vocabularistic musing on extraterrestrial humor and our prospects of
finding it amusing snipped)
Well, I am not Ramsey, but he told me once that sometimes things can be
funny simply because they seem really ridiculous. Maybe you don't have
to _get_ anything. For instance, your friend might run up to you, scream
a thirty syllable Swahili phrase into your left ear in a high pitched,
whiny, 45 RPM voice, then quickly duck for cover under a bush. You may
find this really funny. In fact, you may fall over laughing. And you
probably won't appreciate it very much when a bystander walks up to and
says, "Wow. I'm surprised you and your friend have seen 'It came wearing
Daktari' "(although he says this in Swahili) Point being, the ref. is
not always everything.
In the case of a Joke by Ingmar Bergman, however, there are two ref's,
one to the Schlitz, and to the Ingmar. And the Ingmar is pretty damn
funny on its own. As a matter of fact, I nearly bust a gut from that
skit, and it wasn't until three or four hours later, while mentally
digesting everything at the end of the day, that I FINALLY remembered
that old Schlitz ad. Did Ramsey come to a new appreciation, sure. But
it was funny without it.

Thanks. You're right about the obscure popular culture references, I'm
sure, but my post was more a attempt to confirm that the Schlitz
commercial it dredged up from my subconscious was in fact a real memory
as opposed to a bizarre hallucination symptomatic of some serious
neurological or psychological problem. The mere mention of Ingmar
Bergman combined with the costumes and voices adopted by the robots was
hilarious, perhaps the funniest Bergman parody since Woody Allen's
"Interiors," but when the entire payoff was the vague memory of the
Schlitz commercials (and no one on the newsgroup mentioned it), well
inquiring minds want to know.
Incidentally, while I'm pathologically jealous of your license plates,
I would recommend not parking in my neighborhood. They'd be decorations
on a Columbia dorm room wall before your engine was cold.

I wasn't born until 1976, and I somehow had heard the slogan
before, so it stuck around after then...

It was most certainly mentioned when the episode first aired

You're probably right on the Schlitz date. I was really just
guessing.

I think you safely say "date" when modified by the word "Schlitz"
on almost any day of the year - unless you actually want a date.
