My favorite sitcom rap was when Sam Malone did it when he had the sportscasting job. Totally unexpected and hilarious.

I can't believe we don't have a 2Corey's rap linked here somewhere. I mean we ARE talking white people badly rapping in the 80's after all.

@BullfightsOnAcid: I love you. Srsly.
"Top That" still randomly pops into my head every once in awhile, BUT...
@adminslave: "The Most Popular Girl" will always remain my favorite.
Teen Witch is in my top three favorite really bad movies (with Road House and Dirty Dancing of course)

@adminslave: Amazingly, he actually has a pretty flourishing career as a producer.

Also, the episode where they put on Little Shop of Horrors was my absolute favorite half-hour (or was it a "to be continued"? In which case, hour, natch) of television for years!

It was once said that when the likes of Alex P. Keaton started using words like "fresh" and "dope," all street cred on shows geared toward prepubescent white girls would be lost. I sorely disagree.

Also, I liked the preppy dude on Head of the Class, you know the one who always sat next to Simone or was it Mike Tyson's ex punching bag, Robin?

@rina: I occasionally challenge people to describe a bad late 80s-90s TV show/movie that I haven seen. Being a latch-key kid had very minor pluses. I hope to one day find the person who remembers a film that I caught as a kid that primarly involved a bunch of high school kids who turned themselves invisible and kept getting caught in the girls locker room naked (when invisibility wore off, they were stuck naked in public). I just want to know for sure that it existed and I didn't make it up. It was, if there is such a thing, the poor man's Zapped.
