LOL: Drunk Ewoks Ruin Today Show Halloween Segment

[IrishJedi]

https://www.slashfilm.com/2009/10/30/lol-drunk-ewoks-ruin-today-show-halloween-segment/

A Today Show Halloween decorating segment was interrupted by a pair of scene stealing Ewoks, who began throwing food, fighting each other, doing the moonwalk, and humping both the floor and the leg of Al Roker, who was dressed as Han Solo. I know it might sound like I’m describing a FunnyOrDie parody or something, but it actually happened on live television.

There have been accusations that the little people in the suits were actually drunk before the segment began. At one point, one of the Ewoks tried to drink one of the alcoholic Halloween-themed beverages, and was scolded by Ann Curry (dressed as a mask-less Darth Vader), ”You’re not allowed to have vodka!” The video is embedded after the jump. The madness begins around the 2 minute mark.

This makes me actually like Ewoks.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

When the brown Ewok breaks out the Michael Jackson moves, I lost it. They were either loaded or so bored that they just didn't give a crap.

 

[Batty]

Ewoks FTW!

 

[mfoga]

They obviously were told to go out and just kinda just mess around, got bored and took it further.



Al as Han was kinda disturbing though.

 

[IrishJedi]

I can't fathom any scenario where Lucasfilm will approve of an Ewok humping the ground and Al Roker's leg on live television.

I'm still laughing.

 

[Memnoch]

That.. was awesome!

 

[Darthgothikus]

Never work with Children or animals.

Children, dressed as animals, chuggin' Vodka, bustin' moves and getting "frisky" is a real no no!

(Although it sounds like a normal Friday Night in town...)

Me neither and me too!!! That was a great laugh! When he humped the floor I lost my lunch!

Thanks for posting!!!

I have a feeling it was not kids.

We can but hope... or the youth of America is truly lost to us.

............ewoks just scored major points right there !!!!!

 

[ProgMatinee]

it would have been pretty easy for the camera crew to put the ewoks out of frame. for better or worse the producers knew exactly what they were doing there. funny as hell. i almost laughed out loud here at work.

 

[small_studios]

TO FUNNY! The MJ moves did it for me LOL

 

[Something Sexy]

That was amazing. I was watching part of this, this morning. In the beginning when they were introducing all of the characters the Ewoks came out and the grabbed Merediths butt.

Also while they were doing that, Al said that the gun he has was the actual one used in the movie, 30 seconds later in the background you see him break it, part of the front fell off.

 

[Something Sexy]

Also, I hate Ann Curry. She needs to die in a fire, she is so useless.

 

[Darth_IMPoor]

Couldn't of happened to a better group of posers. I wonder if any of them have even seen the movies. Score 1 nieb-nub for the Ewoks!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Those guys will probably get busted for that, but it was well worth it. Wish people did that more often.

Anarchy!

What a shame.

Just hope those Ewok costumes weren't from the film (probably food stained now)

 

[Darth Snoopy]

CLASSIC!!

 

[The Boot]

Once again proving my point; You can never...ever...go wrong with drunken Little People in bear suits.

Fantastic. Thanks for the embed.
