Belvedere Slays the Infomercial
Christopher Hewitt, TV’s Mr. Belvedere. He does something so magical and amazing here that there may not be words for it. It’s part ham, it’s part over-the-top-British-queening, it’s part awkward and it’s all awesome. Listen to his ad-libs and crazy-creepy sex-sounds at the idea of eating stuff and know the power and majesty of the Super-Snacker.
In the extended one that my friends and I watched in high school, there’s one point where he rolls his eyes into the back of his skull and intones “SWEET AMBROSIA!” in the most arch-theatrical uber-British way possible, with rolling Rs and turning the word “ambrosia” into, like, 12 syllables. But you’ll get the gist from this sample.
Trust me and watch. This is something you really should have in your “things I’ve seen and know about” checklist.
