Who were all these people trying to make collect calls? History books gloss over this dark period of American history with flowery tales of the Clinton sex-scandal impeachment, but for those who remember the truth we must never forget: collect call commercials were on the air for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, ten to eleven months out of the year.

For those of you who just can’t get enough Carrot Top, here he is pretending to forget his wallet in a fancy-pants restaurant. The rich irony the writers heaped into this commercial: Carrot Top in real life could not afford to go to a restaurant where they show you the bottle of wine before they serve it to you! Classic.
