welcome to the "afv" hall of fame the mount rushmore of home videos only instead of lincoln's head there's a woman painfully stuck in a dishwasher. my point is that it is only the elite that make it here, the few clips that endure through the years, like tonight's inductee. now, this grand piece of videotape culture was premiered in 1990, yet it seems like only yesterday. perhaps that's because every viewing is as fresh and enchanting as the first. who knows? all i know is it's going on the wall. so, citizens of earth, i gift you with "rodeo bronco buster." man: casper, the old grim ghost. whoa!

two words will go through your mind for the duration of this clip -- let go. oh. and it wasn't until i saw this clip that i first believed in reincarnation. man: okay. that monkey was once benny hill. when mr. ed has laryngitis he must resort to sign language. with some quiet kids it takes a little more to engage them and make them join in the action.
