| - "A Tribute to Postal Employees" This is basically a montage of scenes from movies and TV shows relating to post office employees. I put the scenes and clips together in a very interesting way! - (In the mid to late 1990's, for a while when they announced the letters, Dave, Paul and Alan the announcer would for some bizarre reason repeat Dave. Dave says, "Letter number one." The �Turkey� reference is due to the fact that this was recorded one Thanksgiving night. - The next sequence is two scenes from Miracle on 34th Street. Mom mails a letter to Santa, but it, like tons of other letters to Santa, arrive on the desk of the judge. All throughout this sequence, the song "Please Mr. Postman" by the Marvelettes plays. - The next sequence is made up of Cliff from Cheers and the Seinfeld crew. All throughout this sequence, "Respect" by Aretha Franklin is played. I lucked out because this was the first re-run episode I taped. I figured I�d have to tape a bunch of episodes before finding the right scenes. - Next, a Seinfeld clip. Again, I lucked out. This episode was the first one I taped. - The next sequence is from the movie, "Funny Farm." During this sequence, the instrumental rock piece "Rebel Rouser" plays. This sequence is made up of the scenes of the crazy drunken mailman who drives the old beat-up truck. - The next clip is from the wedding that inspired this montage. These are some kids outside of the reception room playing with the toy guns from a bin labeled, "Notice to all postal employees: Please leave your guns at the door!" The song, "Trigger Happy" by 'Weird Al' Yankovic plays during the next two clips. - The next scene is from �Independence Day�. (Not very many people who watched the movie knew what the aliens' occupations were.) - Next, a scene from Naked Gun 33 1/3. The movie's original audio is used. In this scene in the movie, a shootout erupts (Untouchables style). Baby carriages roll down the stairs in this spoof of the famous Odessa Steps sequence of the classic movie (Battleship) Potemkin. - Frank wakes up yelling in fright. It was only a nightmare! (Take a look at the painting behind him. Look familliar? Like the subject of a certain high-budget James Cameron flick? - Cut to somber Cheers scene. This is from the same episode as before. Like I said, I really lucked out! - In this finale, the "Battle Hymn of the Republic (Glory Glory Hallelujah)" starts playing. Frozen images of the previous montage dissolve into one another in the background as text that is narrated by Matt scrolls up the screen. I should have used my fake deep announcer voice, but I guess I was tired from editing all day. Maybe some day I�ll re-do it. |
