Hola, Sneakers. Welcome to Episode 445 – the somewhat less cool episode than Episode 444.

This week: figured out; rolling balls; fowl balls; not a Ken fan; viscerally live; know your Branagh; community TV crimes; Henry V fan edit; everybody’s hat talking; hairy situation; shitty nature; disturbing bears; hooray for MAD magazine (R.I.P.); text nerds; The Harvey Girls; three million calories; horrifying Little Dot; slow jokes; so long Denny O’Neil (R.I.P.); Magnus Robot Fighter; novelty ads; Question of the Week – Sneakers respond; and, finally, Thoroughly Thorl.

Thanks for listening.

Question of the Week: Did you ever order anything off TV or from a comic or magazine?
Sub-question: Who is your favourite advertising mascot?

Here are some sweet pics of some of the items we discussed today!

Not sure what Magnus is doing? Throwing something? Tai chi?

Disturbing!

Don’t worry, everyone! They don’t actually work!

Not to scale. Or working, for that matter.

Noting like a “bowl full of happiness”.

You know what? I still want one.

What exactly was Oscar Goldman’s briefcase?
