    Man when HBO was young and didn't have endless promos and such they used to play lots of stuff like this inbetween movies, it was sometimes more fun to watch all this stuff than the movies they were showing.

      Robert Luben i totally remember all the shorts. The Bid Snit, Cock-A-Doody and this where ones I always remember. Look out for SPIKE & MIKE film festivals. It shows some of the classics along with the latest shorts.

      I loved the man-eating videotape, this, Bambi meets Godzilla, the mini-docu-thingy about animation with a running orange alien (probably the first time I heard Kraftwerk; the alien was running to Autobahn), the clips of things like people bicycling...it was so wonderful! Anyone remember the Sorry Partner, You Lose with the coin-operated gunslinger?

    This needs to be a thing again. Short, comical spoofs of movies.
    The closest thing I've found was a few of the latter "NOSTALGIA CRITIC" reviews, like the reviews of the "STAR WARS" Sequel Trilogy and "MAD MAX FURY ROAD" and "'NOPE' Done With Five Dollars".
    This needs to be a genre.

    This Man's work shaped me as a human being at a very young age. Not in a creepy way as that first sentence could have been read, but in a fantastic silly way that I will be forever grateful for! When I was about 8-9 (late 80's-90's), I came in possession of a long play VHS tape that had the first 3 Star Wars Movies on it (Original not any of the MANY changed versions) as well as a bunch of Ernie's work(This, Hardware Wars, Porklips Now, and Bambi Meets Godzilla). My friends and I watched them repeatedly and I shared them with anyone that came over over the years. Often receiving a blank stare and a "what the hell was that?!". I tried to find out how to reach him years ago to thank him for his work, but it turns out he has apparently disowned it all(Which is why some dude re-posted Bambi Meets Godzilla on youtube long ago with his name(Michael something I believe) in the credits instead of Ernie's. I really wish I could change his mind. It is worth embracing and is at least responsible for two silly a$$ mofos that were raised on it. Neither of us could be more thankful for it too! Another funny part is that I saw these before I saw Apocalypse Now or Close Encounters of the Third Kind, so much later when I did see those, I couldn't stop laughing!!! I saw Apocalypse Now in Theaters for the first time(Not new of course), but I kept busting out in hysterical laughter at the most inappropriate times. Like when dude gets hit with the spear...I could only think about "suction cup arrows....", etc. I'm sure people thought I was a sadistic racist or something, it's just that I'm actually quite the opposite and those experiences up to nearly a decade later were made because of his work nearly 20 years before. I guess you never know what kind of impact your creations may have on people. I can only express gratitude, I don't know how I would cope if I wasn't as silly as he enabled me to become. THANKS ERNIE!!!

    HBO used to start their programs on the hour or half hour, and fill empty space with short films and videos, before MTV. This one and 'Hardware Wars' were shown a lot; Some people think they were made by the same company, but to the best of my knowledge they were separate productions. :) I also shot my resume at the Bureau of Listing To Things From Outer Space via Careerbuilder, but never got a response.

I forget what it's called but I haven't seen it since it aired on HBO in the 80's when I was a lil kid. Funny as shit though. I wish they'd still do that.

    Haven't seen that in over 20 years. Thanks for uploading it.
    There used to be another really funny short, about a bunch of Scotsmen standing around in a pub talking about being abducted and getting "a good probin' ". I've been looking around for it but can't find it anywhere.

    The only thing that I would have added, in keeping with the whipped cream motif, was, at the moment the former-scientist-turned-bad-actor intoned the word "pi", a cluster of pies should have come hurling out of the darkness and splattered the faces of the scientists at the Bureau of Listening to Things From Outer Space.

    Is that Hans Conried doing the narration? This was done in the "Fractured Flickers" style.

      No, it’s Corey Burton doing a great Conreid impression.

    I could have sworn that was Edward Everett Horton Jr., but he died ten years before this was made.
