He’s the guy that gave us the delightful Teddy Bears, Pigeons at the beach (love it when Teddy lifts the walking man). And head-banging cows. It’s…

Last post was a bit beefy. So let’s just stay with one important word for this one. Pudding. By BustagutTV, and I swear I thought I saw Charlie Todd (Improv Everywhere) walk out the store around 1:18.
