'Oh no! Oh why, why!' Before getting killed in every episode was made en vogue by South Park's Kenny, there was poor, hapless Mr. Bill. The ever-buoyant clay Everyman brought the house down by being smashed, mangled, and flattened again and again and again. Mr. Bill's 20th Anniversary is a testament to just how experimental the 1970s' Saturday Night Live was willing to go. And far it went, from the ill-fated fishing expedition (watch out for that hook, Mr. Spot!) to his nightmarish trip to court (remember the jury full of Sluggos?)--'Mr. Bill' always managed to find inventive ways to be disturbing.
Those of meek temperament may find Mr. Bill's 20th Anniversary a bit excessive: it is literally the same 'uh oh, he's not going to be nice to me!' gag over and over. But the true SNL fan will treasure this little bit of history, perhaps one of the weirdest comedy segments ever to make it to the small screen. --Brendan J. LaSalle

I loved this tape I really did, but I have to give it four stars instead of five b/c I didn't like the clips of people on the street doing sub-par impressions of our Mr. Bill.
Rating:  - Classic S.N.L. gags can be seen along with new footage
