[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Actually, it was from Saturday Night Live. I never got that joke either.

The joke was that Franco had been dying for months, and the news night after night was basically variations of "Franco still alive." So when he died, SNL started reporting "Franco still dead." Thirty-five years later the context is kinda lost.

From SNL's Better Days ....

Well, if I hadn't been a young skull full of mush at the time, I probably would have been well-informed enough to get the joke. Thanks for filling some context that's been missing for decades.
