MrBuddy It was a Saturday Night Live skit that, for no reason that anyone can explain, we all liked. Kind of like your average Internet meme: it starts out as something else and takes on a life of its own. (Had to click the Toonces and Spunky ping pong related video!)
Syd Midnight The deep moral behind Toonces is he can drive a car, but very badly, but people let him drive anyways because they're surprised he can do it at all. Sort of crypto-anti-affirmative-action-backlash.
Or just a funny skit. Don't go "cow trools" and read too much into a simple joke.
Lauritz Melchior It's a hell of a lot better than "Shittles: the Dancing Dog"
Camonk "I don't care if we don't have any good ideas to set up the punch line. Use bad ones, then!"
Five stars for the standard SNL sense of proportion.
Corman's Inferno It's usually more along the lines of "Hey this is a funny idea. Stretch it out for another minute and thirty seconds so we can fill the slot on the schedule."
Fun Fact: Toonces was created by Jack "Deep Thoughts" Handey.
snothouse These stars are basically for: "Don't forget your favorite tie."
dead_cat These stars are for the scene where the cat is very obviously just sitting there being a cat, while two puppet arms extending in from off-screen prepare the "chloroform" rag right in front of him.
memedumpster I forgot these skits utilized puppets combined with real cats. Good lord.
Syd Midnight It's so they can make Toonces scream on demand. Toonces' pre-crash facial expression is the best part.
KnowFuture Murphy Brown went to visit some friends and watch some cat driving videos and she brought her own cat with her, like NOBODY DOES, EVER.
Keefu This was hilarious when I was a kid for some reason. Not so much now.
pastorofmuppets I always assumed Toonces was tongue-in-cheek. Like...yeah, Hartman's gone, and by the end even he couldn't prop this show up. Enjoy, assholes.
