Product description:

"Mr. Mike’s Mondo Video is the wildly demented comedy from the mind of National Lampoon’s and Saturday Night Live’s notoriously funny writer/performer Michael O’Donoghue. And like most of O’Donoghue’s humor, it was years ahead of its time. Originally conceived in 1979 as a television special slotted for one of SNL’s hiatuses – with much of the SNL cast on board – it was summarily rejected by NBC as too outrageous for broadcast.

Mr. Mike’s Mondo Video is a spoof of the 1962 shock-exploitation documentary Mondo Cane, which featured travelogue vignettes of bizarre cultural practices designed to titillate Western audiences. Here Mr. Mike (O’Donoghue) presents his own brand of shock in twisted sketches that make us simultaneously laugh and cringe. With a narrative wraparound about an underground organization in search of disturbing images, O’Donoghue subjects us to such family-unfriendly fare as “Cat Swimming School,” church service of “The Living God, Jack Lord,” Dan Aykroyd’s revelation as a genetic mutant and “Elephant Electrocution.”

If you’re still reading, you need to see this cult classic comedy film.

Mr. Mike’s Mondo Video features members of the classic 1979 Saturday Night Live cast: Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin and Laraine Newman. It also stars Michael O’Donoghue, Carrie Fisher, Teri Garr, Margot Kidder, Edie Baskin, Judith Belushi-Pisano, Mitch Glazer, Joan Hackett, Deborah Harry, Julius La Rosa, Wendie Malick, Klaus Nomi, Paul Shaffer and Sid Vicious.

Special Features:

• Mr. Mike’s Least-Loved Bedtime Tales from Saturday Night Live (1976-1977)
• Bill Murray’s On-Air Eulogy for Michael O’Donoghue (1994)
• Commentary by Writer Mitch Glazer"
