I haven't had a chance to watch the episode you've linked, but I have to ask: is it the one we already covered?

I do have to wonder if it's real. They never really act out any of the things they're talking about beyond the banana at the beginning. I sure hope it's real, though

Yup, but in a smaller flash version.

To new viewers of the clip, there was an explanation in an article linked from the previous thread:
Quote:
the clip was very probably taken from Victor Lewis Smith's "TV Offal", which explains the confusion. Lewis Smith claimed it was from the show's pilot. It was, in fact, recorded in 1976, when the show had been running for several years. It was never shown on TV, and was never intended to be shown on TV. In fact, the sketch was performed simply for the amusement of the cast and crew, and would have been lost to history, were it not for the OBA 1 Christmas tape put together by Thames TV engineers. The same video features a Star Trek parody, outtakes from The Kenny Everett Show and Spike Milligan saying, "Merry Christmas, even if you're Jewish."

Now I have to complain that the search on the board isn't working very well... Argh. I specifically looked for "Rainbow" before posting. D'oh. Ok, time to edit the first post still. Never mind that the immediate replies will be (sort of) out of context.

Excellent. Reno 911 is great. I thought I would hate it and then I watched a couple episodes. I don't seek it out with Tivo, but I crack up every time it's on. Patton Oswalt is also very funny. I saw his routine at a club in Baltimore with Zach Galifianakis. They were both incredible (especially Zach).
