Zippy is ok but why is this an example of jump the shark? It sounds like every day at the laudromat

PJ, I’ve been a huge Zippy fan for many decades. One of my favorite sayings is:

“It’s a nation of Pinheads.”

Thanks for posting the Zipster.

While I am not a Zippy fan, I am a HUGE fan of “The Producers”. Dick Shawn’s audition song in the movie ends with the immortal line “Hey World! You Stink!” Love it.

And here's a story about him.

Err, if I admitted that I love Zippy the Pinhead, my straight as a arrow father knows best persona my children has swallowed hook line and sinker would be completely blown.

Years of hard work explaining the picture of me with a bong, a beer and a six inch afro as a weird teenager joke to my children might be compromised.

So no, I never, never, never liked Zippy!!!

Interesting and notable, but I don't think quite up to the billing of “jumping the shark”.

I've never seen “The Producers” and I probably should, but I really dug that scene, man. I liked the Campbell's can around LSD’s neck. Nice touch.

It reminded me of Tom Wolf's “The Painted Word”, which was the literary and cultural equivalent of the emperor’s new clothes.

I never heard of Zippy. Never smoked pot. And never drove faster than the speed limit.

Officer.
