"Rowsdower"
Ahh, that name has been carved indelibly into my brain. I can't hear it spoken without bursting into childish giggles. What is a Rowsdower, you ask? Why he's our pudgy beer-swilling hero, who takes on a cult with the help of a Larry Csonka lovin' lad named Troy.
Oh, so funny episode even without words (Troy smiles into the camera, and someone makes an "Eeeeeehhhh" sound). Lots of great moments, from the dude who "hates them rabbits", to Troy singing the Rowsdower song. And speaking of songs, Servo dresses up and the gang joins him in a spirit soaring ode to the Great White North.
Other film highlights include scenes where Oscar the Grouch gets trashed; and Zap offering Troy his Jacket. Which Crow points out is made entirely of lunch meat. ROTF. Who'd a thunk cults, Canada and Larry Csonka could inspire so many laughs.
