For the TTLG Sleuths: a search request.

Many years ago, a video posted here in Comm Chat featured a black gentleman appearing on public access TV, and he seemed to be preaching—in quite a rambling way. I remember finding it to be pretty funny. Does anyone remember that video? I'd like to see if it's still around TTLG. Thank you, thank you.

Maybe Reverend X?

Thank you, Azaran! This is the guy. Now, I just need to find the original video that was a full show. Cheers!

Are you feeling your calling, Ducky?

Mr.Duck on 6/1/2025 at 08:31

Only the call of the wild, Nicker. :3

If you don't mind me asking, are you West, Center, or East Canadian? Cheers!

Nicker on 6/1/2025 at 12:55

West of West. Vancouver Island, the most un-Canadian part of Canada, weather wise at least.

Yes, (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106029) this was the original thread. I also remember this footage fondly, especially his habit of calling people nincompoops.

But look, now that we've solved that mystery, I wonder if anyone can help me refind the image that used to be in the first post of this thread:

(https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79058)

It was a mash-up of Reg Hollis from UK police drama The Bill, in the hardboiled style of the Max Payne box art.

I am sure someone, somewhere must have a copy of this image, which was quite simply one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

We've got like 25+ years worth of memes that we've lost!

One that I remember right now is I made a little CSI four panel meme (Puts on sunglasses / YEEEEAAAHHH. Really takes off Sunglasses, another pair of sunglasses underneath) with a Cheetos Chester the cheetah head for some stupid cheese take in a post, something to do with how difficult it is to find good cheese, with him saying something like: Well, you know what they say. It's not easy. (Sunglasses "on") Being cheesy. Yeeeeaaaahhhh.

Alas.

Also Canada: Alas!
