... when it was first aired, and we both laughed so hard!

I was still in elementary school back then, and I can't recall another time when both of us were laughing so hysterically together.

The part when Les returned to the station, describing how the turkeys seemed to be organized in their attacks, was very funny too! (Not shown in the above clip.)

Edit: I looked it up, and it first aired on October 30, 1978. So I was in 4th grade, and probably eager for trick-or-treat the next night too.
