No, really. It did. In an odd turn of events for Modern Interweb Having of Everything, I cannot find even a snippet from the show to confirm my memory of when it was, I was in college so it was late 80s; I'm pretty sure it was one of the UK Comic Relief specials. [EDIT! It was the HBO Comedy Hour Special "Live! From London" from 1988; Ben Elton has hosting that listed on his website's FAQs, and that matches time, place, and where I think I saw it to a T... still can't find any *CLIPS* but...] It featured acts by Rowan Atkinson, French & Saunders, and lots of others, but what I really remember more than anything is Ben Elton's hosting. He did short bits between each act, and most of them were fantastic.

And one was about toothpaste. Now this comes up because I mentioned another of the bits from this show -- the one about "Mr. Paranoia" which has helped me not to overthink social interactions after the fact ever since, so I guess THAT one changed my life, too [Thanks, Ben Elton!] -- to reddiana, and she demanded the toothpaste story to which I alluded.

( This works best with visuals... )
