Mr. Mike Hits DVD, but Does Mr. Bill Get Raped? Oh, Nooo!

In 1979, Michael O’Donoghue, legendary National Lampoon editor and Saturday Night Live’s original head writer, created one of the goddamndest things ever intended for network television broadcast: Mr. Mike’s Mondo Video.

A parody of 1960s’ Italian-made globetrotting shockumentaries (Mondo Cane, Africa Addio) that examined outrageous human beliefs and behaviors, NBC commissioned O’Donoghue to create Mondo Video as a pilot to be an occasional fill-in for Saturday Night Live.

Suffice to say, the finished hodgepodge of splatter gags, wet cats, Sid Vicious, ancient porn, and other eye-poppers never made it to the air. Instead, producer Lorne Michaels released Mondo Video to theaters with the tagline “The TV Show That Can’t Be Shown on TV”, accompanied by a “special” Mr. Bill Show.

Shout! Factory just issued Mr. Mike’s Mondo Video on DVD, minus Mr. Bill. I’m glad to have the show on disc, but I really, really need to know the truth about that Mr. Bill short.

Here’s why: back in ’79, a kid I knew claimed to have seen Mondo Video in a theater, and he told me that the “special” Mr. Bill Show consisted of Mr. Hand greasing up Sluggo’s big, black cock with Vaseline, and then Sluggo barbarically raping Mr Bill in the ass.

Could it be that that young rapscallion was fibbing?

Topless Babes from Age of Stone Will Give You a Raging Bone

With a cast that includes A-listers like Heroes star Ali Larter and recently nude supermodel Carol Alt, National Lampoon's The Stoned Age would seem to have enough flesh to ogle.

With all this female talent, the non-nude contributions of child star Madeline Zima (who recently went topless in Californication) and her two sisters Vanessa and Yvonne landed on the cutting room floor.

But not to worry, they still show up in the DVD extras section with four other luscious ladies whose topless scenes were inexplicably left out of the final edit.

“To-ga! To-ga! To-ga!”

That classic party-whoop, along with so many others, is just one of a myriad of reasons to love the all-time comedy classic Animal House, which first turned theaters into wild fraternity blow-outs on this day in 1978.

That's exactly 30 years ago!
