MMC Rocks!
(a tribute to Ned the Pie Thrower and Pigboy)

I got a tape of a bunch of MMC shows from a fellow fan, and I have to say that was a great show! JC was hilarious. Every time he was onscreen, I laughed my ass off. He has a great sense of timing, and he whines really well, too. Justin was pretty funny, too, though most of the scenes on my tape are JC, so it was hard to tell. Juju was a little Southern boy through and through, none of that weird ghetto-boy stuff he's got going now. I've listed a few of my favorite MMC skits below, all featuring our boys, of course. And I have to say, if I ever see Juju in person, it's going to be very difficult not to call him "Pigboy" to his face.

  1. Natalie
    As I mentioned, JC has a great whine. There was one line—and I really wish I could record it for you—in a scene with a character named Natalie, where she tries to do something to his food. He whines, "Natalieeeeee! Don't touch mah food!" I laughed so hard I had to pause the tape.
  2. The "Flip Fantasia" Video
    Spazzmaster JC at his finest. This video featured another guy on lead, but JC was in the background the whole time, just... I dunno, spazzing! It's impossible to describe. He was all up over the walls and everything. And he was playing the trumpet, which made me squee. (Yes, I know he was probably only pretending, but let a gal have her fantasies, huh?!)
  3. Ned the Pie Thrower
    JC plays a "reformed" pie thrower who's trying to help three younger kids (one of whom is played by Christina Aguilera!) to reform as well. Of course, in order to do so, he's got to throw a lot of pies. A definite classic, and you've probably seen aclip of the bit with Christina, though I can't remember where. I know I'd seen that part before I got the tape.
  4. "The Teenage Zone"
    This was a recurring sketch, but the one I'm talking about featured our JC and another guy as punks. JC had a spiked up mohawk and everything! They kept headbanging each other. Too funny.
  5. Brain Rot
    Another acting stretch for JC, this time featuring an English accent! He played Rich the bass player in a British heavy metalband called "Brain Rot." The best part was when they were talking about how they hate everything, and they go down the line for every group member to give an example of something they hate. Rich's answer? "And I hates me toe jam, man!" This deserved another pause-laugh-and-rewind.
  6. Southern Boy Justin
    As I said, you could really hear Justin's Tennessee accent in MMC, but it was really prominent in this one sketch about a liquid meat. (Don't ask.) Near the beginning of it, he and Britney are sawing away at steak that won't cut, and he whines, "Moooom, this steak is too tough!" Which really wasn't that funny except that he said it in a really Southern way. Um.... yeah.
  7. Confessions Fragrance
    Another fake commercial, this time for a fragrance like "Obsessions." The gimmick? It makes you tell the truth, no matter how harsh. The best bit was at the end. JC's leaning all up into the girl, looking like they're about to kiss, and he says in this low, sexy voice, "I pick my nose." And she goes, all coy, "I know."
  8. The Last Dating Game
    JC as a really, really gross contestant on a gameshow that hooks up two totally incompatible people and sends them on a date. He was really disgusting, if you can believe it. They showed him on a video screen first, because the idea was that there was a hidden camera in the room. First he was stuffing his face with pork rinds, then picking his ears, then clipping his toenails. Then, when he came out onstage, he burped in the host's face. The girl kept trying to get away from him, and he was completely oblivious to her dislike. The best quote: "She was checkin' out the pecs all night, baby!"
  9. The Jello Pool
    Just goes to show you that JC and Joey were meant to hook up at some point in life. JC plays a kid using the parent alarm to figure out when his parents will be home. Upon finding out they won't return until 11:40 p.m., he says, "I still have time to fill the pool with Jello and invite the guys over for a bellyflop contest!"
  10. Boyfriend Obedience School
    The title is pretty self-explanatory. The "trainer" calls JC over from where's he's flirting with another girl, and since he's been "trained," he bounds right over like an eager little puppy. Then she starts scratching him on the back of his neck (like a puppy), and he reacts really favorably to that (like a puppy). Then she tells him to go get her a soda or something. He goes "Okay!" and runs off. It's funnier on TV than it is in print. Just trust me.
  11. Andrew the Blind Date
    Justin plays a 13 year old boy whose friend has hacked into the computers at a dating service to get him a date with an older woman. The older woman is in high school, I suppose, and she is not happy to find this little kid at her door. He was absolutely adorable. It gets even better when JC shows up as the girl's ex-boyfriend, and Justin steps up to the plate to defend his new lady's honor. You may have seen part of this as well, if you've seen a brief clip of JC chasing Justin around a living room and over a couch and stuff.
  12. Bobo the Gorilla
    This one featured JC and Justin as brothers, which was awesome. Justin had signed them up for an adopt an animal program at the zoo, so the zoo sends a gorilla to their house for the weekend. Pandemonium ensues. There are several good moments in this sketch, including Justin screaming "Put me down!" in a rather squeaky voice as the gorilla picks him up and runs all over the house. JC had a great line when the girl who's tutoring him in Spanish tries to help him conjugate a verb, and he goes, "Hey, yo travaho." I dunno, I guess you'd have to hear it, since it doesn't look so funny in print. Then at the end of the sketch, we get to hear the infamous JC whine again when the tutor leaves the house due to the gorilla, saying, "Hasta la Vista!" and JC runs to the door yelling, "Wait, you can't leave! I don't even know what you just said to meeee...." Again, funnier on TV. It's the whine that does it.
  13. Shane and the Sensations
    This one features another Mouseketeer as lead singer Shane, with JC and two other guys as the backup singers, the Sensations. The funny thing is that they're all really clumsy, and they keep falling all over one another. JC has a great moment whre he falls down a flight of steps, then tries to play it off by getting up and dancing around like a pro and showing off. I would love to see NSYNC do something like this. Both JC and Chris would be great with the physical comedy required.
  14. Pigboy
    Ah, yes, the pigboy sketch. I will never look at Justin the same way again. He plays a kid who gets licked by, like, a werepig or something, and he turns into the PIGBOY during the full moon. In order to be a normal human again, he has to get kissed by a girl while in the pigboy state. I was ROTFL when he went up to Christina and Britney with this giant pig snout on, looking really gross, and whined, "Kiss me! *snort!* Kiss meee!"
  15. Babysitter Academy Awards
    Hands-down the funniest thing on this page. Also serves as JC's first award acceptance. (Heehee!) He plays babysitter Tommy Kowalski (which, as a Due South gal, gave me a giggle), who has been nominated for a scene in which the two kids he's babysitting run him so ragged that he falls to his knees crying, "I give up! I give up! I want my mommy!" I tell you, I almost shed a tear. He won, of course, and then came the acceptance speech: "Thank you. Thank you very much. Um... I'd like to thank the academy for this award, but what I'd really like to talk about is something more important (he pulls a photograph out of his suit jacket): these children. These children... must be stopped! (At this point the speech dissolves into helpless ranting and screaming.) No one should have to suffer the pain and the torture of sitting for them! Man... babysitters everywhere... unite against the McPherson menace! If their parents call you, you just say no, buddy! No! No!" And they have to drag him, still ranting, off the stage. And if that isn't enough, as they're wrapping up the awards show, you hear him off camera screaming: "Those kids should be locked up!" I rewound this one four times and still felt like I hadn't watched it enough. He cracks me up.

That's it for now! I hope to get some more MMC stuff soon, so if I do, I'll update this. Maybe I'll even get more Justin moments!
