The Most Ridiculous Public Access Moments Of All Time (VIDEO)

In a world before YouTube, the only home for ordinary people with something to say was on public access television. Though it lacks the glamor and prestige of regular television programming, it sure beat being committed to an institution.

Let's Paint, Exercise And Blend Drinks!

Instead of saving time by brushing his teeth in the shower, this host captures the human condition whilst running on a treadmill.

This was great! :) Public Access, in different cities/states is always the more entertaining. :)

"The One Man Show" featuring televangelist Rev. X is by far the best on here (and that's saying something, because there were some great, insane moments in this group). I've been watching the rest of his shows on YouTube and am blown away - he's a nut! Hilarious stuff, folks.

No scenes from The Great Satan at Large? Every single moment on that show was classic!

Henrietta and Merna are apparently a bit overloaded on the antipsychotics! Bet both are BUNDLES 'O FUN in non-medicated reality!

Ok. this is seriously embarrassing that I know this, but her name is not "Fancy Dancer." It's actually, "Francine Dancer" and later in her non-existent local cable access career, she devolved into a routine in a wheelchair (which she didn't ever seem to need, but nevertheless always was filmed rolling around in it and at intervals, stepping out of it and dancing...badly).

Wow, that flying squirrel wasn't a squirrel at all but an oppossum also called a Sugar Glider from New Zealand.

I was sad to see that "Mom Spanked the Gay Out of Me" was removed after holding the number 1 spot all day yesterday. Although it may have been a piece of comedy, it really was a highly ridiculous moment in cable access history. The show aired in 1998 on Adelphia cable in Van Nuys, California. Please put it back up!!!!

The spanked the gay out of me thing is really promoted by some anti-gay people. They even got some national attention due to a bit on CNN that showed one beating a couch to expunge the gay from himself.

Also these loons were the ones behind the kill the gays bill in Uganda.

That must be something else you are thinking of, "Mom Spanked the Gay Out of Me" was NOT created by anti-gay people. It is satire, pointing out the absurdity, of punishing a child in order to make him straight.

I didn't see anything mean or condescending about the children's show host; he seemed to have a good rapport with the kids and his snarky remarks were just making them laugh at themselves.

Agreed.

Even Jesus couldn't save Henrietta and Merna's act. Love the classically bad!
