Basically bumper skiing. Looking back it was incredibly foolish, but fun at the time. I would have to put this in the same category.

the one where he discovers "Baba O'Reilly" by The Who. He's been up for days, listening (and dancing) to it, and on his way home from church, where he's led the congregation in singing it, he runs his car into a snowbank. Repeatedly. His comment:

"Oh shoot."

"Oh shoot."

"Oh shoot."

I love Adult Swim.

and this is my all-time favorite. If it's the only one you've seen, I highly recommend you watch a few more to get an idea of what Joe Pera's personality (in the series) is like--the farthest thing from "a wild man" that you can imagine. Which makes this one spectacularly hilarious.

It's a very touching series, too. Gentle, but silly. For instance, Joe really does wash his dishes before he puts them in the dishwasher--nothing is made of this, it's just something you notice in the background.

I can't drive in the snow without saying "Oh shoot" at least a few times.
