    • Quotes
      • Dr. Swen Gazzara: The american people are not satisfied with routine employment. They resent having boring, tedious, subservient, just plain and humdrum jobs. Let's refer to them here and out as... "hum" jobs. I come from a humble working class family. My father had a "hum" job. My mother had a "hum" job. And me? I've had several "hum" jobs. For every corporate leader and every prestigious, high-paid executive, there are many workers underneath them performing the "hum" jobs. So come on, America, let's put pride back in our work, no matter how meager. Let's say: "Mr. President, give me a job digging ditches! Give me a job mopping floors! Give me a job selling newspapers! Mr. President... give me a "hum" job!"
    • Alternate versions
      Among other episodes in the past that have had removed portions since moving to Peacock TV. This episode had its Tommy Torture segment removed, in which Ray Sharkey plays a drunkard rock singer trying to get with younger women while holding a switchblade; later he sings a song and the scene ends, making it fairly forgettable regardless.
