  • pjkovach, on 05/02/2009, -3/+17wow, Lilly Tomlin was quite the looker back in the day.
  • inactive, on 05/02/2009, -1/+12That's just cruel - opening by playing the Pac Man theme is like cracking open an ice cold one at an AA meeting.
  • saltybull, on 05/02/2009, -0/+5Thhe Story of Alan!

    I got to meet Lily Tomlin back in 05.
  • bigteebo, on 05/02/2009, -1/+4This reminds me of the SNL "digital short"(not called that back in the day) about the video game addict kid that got ran over by a garbage truck.
  • dancantone, on 05/02/2009, -0/+2My brother played her deaf son "Jimmy Reese" in the Robert Altman movie "Nashville" back in the 70's.
    She treated him like her own son...a really cool lady.

    Funny clip...I needed that back in the day. I was addicted to pac-man so bad! lol
  • Bainemo, on 05/02/2009, -1/+3It all started with a digital watch. Just like today's problems.
  • gordigor, on 05/02/2009, -0/+2That's Sally Fields you idiot. If you can't flashback right, then stay the hell of the lawn!
  • Halsfield, on 05/03/2009, -0/+1Seeing how parents in the 80's and 90's (and I guess even today) are so terrified of video games I could almost see this being taken seriously. If she wasn't that kind of comedian (why did they spell it comedienne, is that a european spelling?) I would almost think this was a PSA by some fearmongering christian mother's association or something. "After bringing pac-man into my home my life became a dirty mess" made me laugh though.
  • belebih, on 05/02/2009, -2/+3Apparently, one of the symptoms is chronic sighing.
  • mynameistux, on 05/03/2009, -0/+1waka waka waka waka
  • EricAnderton, on 05/03/2009, -0/+1I love how this spoof about video game addiction features an ad for WoW on the same page.
  • CJArgus, on 05/02/2009, -1/+2I'd like to see her in the time she "couldn't talk about it."
  • Gibletoid, on 05/02/2009, -1/+2I got Pac Man fever (Pac Man fever!) and it's driving me crazy (and it's driving me crazy).
  • had3l, on 05/02/2009, -1/+2I prefer her more recent work:

  • inactive, on 05/03/2009, -0/+1Ehh...8== O
  • Julian88888888, on 05/02/2009, -0/+1like inserting a marshmallow into a coin slot
  • sndream, on 05/04/2009, -0/+1Did she passed out because she can't handle the excitement and fast pace of Pac-Man? Or she's just on crack?
  • EddieDamonster, on 05/02/2009, -0/+1WOW! It's a joke?
  • inactive, on 05/02/2009, -0/+1It's bad enough that you're spamming, but you stole my comment to do it? WTF!? Damn spambots.
  • Philbert, on 05/02/2009, -0/+1I normally like Lilly Tomlin, but I hated that movie.
  • Philbert, on 05/02/2009, -1/+2Whenever I hear her name the first thing that pops into my mind is All of Me.

  • PaulClayberg, on 05/02/2009, -1/+2I'm proud of my Ms. Pac-Man addiction..
  • treytravis, on 05/02/2009, -3/+3I cant tell if that was serious or a joke
  • doctorinfierno, on 05/02/2009, -1/+1She was hooked on video games and crack
  • bobburn1, on 05/02/2009, -1/+1LMAO! Quite possibly the most hilarious PSA ever.
  • krwlngindark, on 05/02/2009, -1/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4Qls1rAfYs

    *snort*
  • GraceHead, on 05/02/2009, -1/+1genius!
  • Jamegarc1979, on 05/03/2009, -0/+0I had a pac-man addiction too!
  • inactive, on 05/02/2009, -1/+1Mommy...Is that the lady from the Boniva commercial?
  • NeedlerFanPudge, on 05/02/2009, -1/+1This is just wonderful. I wonder if she has a cabinet at home.
  • inactive, on 05/02/2009, -1/+0She's right.

    I have a Pac-Man machine in my home too (if you look at my userpic, that's my Paccy's control panel). And that led to me buying a Galaga cocktail and a Super Mario Bros. machine.

    Pac-Man is a gateway drug! :)
  • peestandingup, on 05/02/2009, -3/+2This sounds like me in the 80s & part of the 90s.

    "Will suck dick for Tetris" the sign read.
  • inactive, on 05/02/2009, -3/+2First of all, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=lilly+tomlin

    Second of all, how can you watch that and not pick up on the dripping sarcasm?
  • inactive, on 05/02/2009, -6/+1...and I jizzed in my pants.
  • espen89, on 05/02/2009, -10/+4wow, Lilly Tomlin was quite the hooker back in the day.
