The Show: Spearmint gum and neat vodka? YEAH! That’ll be great?!

It has been a long time since we plundered Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! for The Joint’s commercial breaks, so repurposing the “definitely not fake ads for fake products” from Office Hours Live on Tim Heidecker’s YouTube channel seems way overdue.

Let’s go full YouTube wormhole and recommend Are Sounds Electrik, especially when they cut up old film footage to create their own promo videos.

A recent favourite of ours is a 1982 single from Ignatius Jones (in today’s playlist) synced with footage from the 1944 film Don’t Take It To Heart .

Only 38 years passed between the release of the movie and the song but it’s now been more than 40 years since the song came out.

Make of that what you will.

And on with the show…

Nice chorus, shame about the verses

This week is not the first time The Joint has embraced an Eastenders themed track. Anyone remember Osymyso‘s Pat & Peg from the turn of the century?
