Waiters Who Are Nauseated by Food
There was a lot of great stuff on The Dana Carvey Show, the late-90s primetime sketch series. This was one such great thing; it features Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert.
Hey, is there anything out there like YouTube, without the new YouTube 10-minute time limit, and without the Google Video copyright protections?

I loved this show! Weren't all the shows themed after a different soda? The "Racists in Maine" skit is my fave.
I loved Skinheads from Maine, too.
"Whatcha whittlin'?"
"Whoopin' stick."
"Hmmmmmm."
"Been thinking about whoopin on some queeyahs."
"Aaaaah."
"Thinkin' about maybe the Anduhson queeyah."
The show was sponsored by Pepsi-Co, but they dropped out after about a month. At one point, there was a big production number with dancers dressed up as Tacos and Bells singing "Here's Dana Carvey, he's our whore," or something along those lines.
I loved this show too, especially how ruthlessly Dana attacked his own sponsors. I remember him doing a sketch that just involved two guys looking at a glass of Mountain Dew:
Guy 1: What does that look like?
Guy 2: Um.
Guy 1: Come on. What does it look like?
Guy 2: Um. Liquid Sunshine?
Guy 1: Yes. (To the camera) Liquid Sunshine.
And "Germans Saying Nice Things" still makes me laugh ten years later.
