W. Owen:
I used to go back and freeze-frame the explosion segment while watching this one, just because there's one frame that looks really cool and you can actually see a glowing crack in the top of the pumpkin right before it splatters all over the place. In other words, the entire explosion is completely contained within the vegetable in question for that brief fraction of a second. (Okay, so it's a lot more entertaining after a good hit or two.)
The “turning J into a turkey” bit at the end is rather dumb, but was always eminently watchable for me...especially Mary H's line “I can't believe I slept with this guy”.
