What's the clip in the Dr. Jeep filmclip with the bloke holding TSOM record?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Since YT has been relentlessly suggesting the Dr Jeep filmclip, I've been watching it repeatedly and I can't help wonder: What's the clip in the Dr. Jeep filmclip with the bloke holding the Vision Thing album? Its intersected in the clip at a few different progressions.

It looks like it's an ad for the record, but is it real? Is there audio for it on the net if it is?

Hi Dr. Jeep,
The person is PeeWee, he was a comedian at the time.
I’ve not heard of him for a long time.
I believe to remember he starred in the Cheech and Chong movies of the olde days.
I always thought they got PeeWee to actually hold the record. As he is mentioned in the lyrics.

Peewee was busted for exposing himself in a cinema which pretty much ended his mainstream career. I think he's currently uncancelled but who can keep up...

Peewee's Big Adventure is great!

G'day all,

Thanks for the replies.

OMG, this just got stranger than I expected.

Well, I was actually born the year that LP came out, however I do know vaguely of Pee wee and that incident, somehow...given that I'm not from the US.

In fact I remember him in Chech and Chong too: "I think they're Iranians!!"

So my question is, why the hell was Peewee advertising the Vision Thing album?? Or was this like super-imposed on original footage?

I can only assume you're right Icon, it was 'because he reads the evening news' (which I assume is a joke). So no one would have any idea what he would have been saying, no audio would probably exist....

Cheers

Guys,
I just re-watched it; it's not Peewee! Different shaped head, different colour eyes.

I took screenshots, but not sure how to upload

Everybody shouts on I Love Lucy, Pee Wee reads the evening news.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I think there's a clip of rioting in Derry in it if I remember correctly. See, we were famous well before Derry Girls! :wink:

I didn't read it, I looked at the video and formed an opinion :lol:

I checked yesterday the imdb article about the video. A rather useful tool as all actors are listed in there whatever they do, even in cameo roles and at the cast is only the band members listed, none else. So Tony James is the candidate with the most percent. PeeWee is discarded as option cause if it was him, he would be there 99,99% and he is not.

But still you can see George Bush, Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi and plenty others on the TV screen. And of course, they are not listed.
So PeeWee looks like quite reasonable ...

Except that isn't Paul Reubens in the screenshot ;)
Could be TJ, although he did spend most of that time period with aviators glued on so difficult to say.
There's at least one non-band performer, seen from behind and sitting in an armchair watching tv. Could just as easily be that guy..

imdb lists all that participate unique not through tv shots in the background :wink: :notworthy:

I thought it was clear from your post, but for the avoidance of doubt a side by side comparison for the sceptics.
