I think Galifianakis wrote everything on that show, even for the guests.

From what I've gathered, Hulk and his ex-wife are both to blame for a lot of crap, but I couldn't help but clap for this epic troll job.

Jumpin Jesus. That’s a 30 second circus and then there’s 4.5 other innings. That’s the best!❤️ That’s why parents sneak drinks into games….. or at least I did and I was the manager. I was Buttermaker
Looks like the parents gave their kids the "drinks" 🤣

Participation trophies for all!
Who started the participation trophy thing? My first trophy was for playing a season of soccer in 1981, everyone got one at the end of the season (for participating). So, maybe the Boomers started it, but then I think about letterman jackets which you essentially get for being part of the team (participating) and that’s been going on before the Boomers. Then there’s the statues people put up to the losing sides of a war (like the Confederate ones). If you lost a two sided conflict, the best you could say is you participated but that goes back to ancient times, like the battle of Thermopylae. So maybe the ancient Greeks started it.

I’ll stick with Boomers.

You missed my point. I loved that clip. Been there a number of times back in the day.

Not the Boomers. When I was a kid only the winners of the league or tournament got trophies. In HS, you didn’t get a letterman’s jacket unless you participated in 50% of the quarters in FB or BB. When I coached my kids everyone wasn’t getting trophies. In HS, They also had to earn a letter before they could get a jacket. I would say GenX probably started the participation trophies.
