BLEEDVIS AND BOLT-HEAD CHECK OUT MTV
Cracked Monster Party #26, Summer 1995

When Cracked did their spinoff magazine, it was half-reprints, but they would run out of monster and horror material for their new stuff, and often had to make existing phenomena into monsters, which was the case here.

Beavis and Butthead was on MTV when the majority of their programming was music videos, and much of the show was them riffing on those videos ala Mystery Science Theater. They start by commenting on Full House with Bob Saget and John Stamos.
All-American Girl was a sitcom about a woman's clash with her Korean immigrant parents that was conceived as a showcase for comedian Margaret Cho.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was a showcase for Will Smith, about a kid from the 'hood moving in with his rich relatives.
Baywatch had David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson as lifeguards
Larry King is portrayed as an ape here, maybe because his name sounds like King Kong. Then Urkel (Jaleel White) of Family Matters.
HATARI (1967)
dir: Howard Hawks
