Things like this need no context, just appreciation.
 
Does anyone remember on a old episode of SNL, probably from like 1993 or so, where they did a fake commercial for action figures for the movie Philadelphia? I remember kind of wanting them:

Fuck them and their oranges
One of the funniest experiences growing up was when I lived over in Clearwater, FL which is where the Phillies have their spring training. This was back in the 80's when the Phillies won the world series with Tug McGraw, Dalton, Dykstra and that entire crew. The original Hooters is also in Clearwater and I used to skip school to go to spring training games and followed the team to Hooters after. Dalton was screwing pretty much all the waitresses (this was right around the time he got married to first Hooters girl that was on every billboard Lynn Austin) McGraw and Dykstra were knock down drunk all the time, many a time I had Dykstra walk by double fisting pitchers of beer.

Once he walked by and I was sitting at a table with some friends and he stops and turns real quick, half the beer came sloshing out of the pitcher onto me and my friends he says "why aren't you guys drinking?" I said "we can't, we're not 21" he gives me this look like i thought he was going to kick the shit out of me and says "fuckin pussies" then leaves one of the (now half empty) pitchers on our table and says "this better be empty by the time I get back". My friends and I just look at each other for a second then swig and pass the pitcher as quick as we could thinking a waitress would come take it at any time. Oddly they didn't, the girl just comes over and asks if we wanted another pitcher (I guess she figured we had a pitcher of beer so we must be old enough) so of course we said "yeah", we thought we were the coolest people on the planet that day.
 
Philly Elmo don't give no fucks about no fire.
 
Guess it's better than Eagles fans eating horse shit.
