Several funny quick skits and a good "1984" parody.
Sid Dithers has one of his funniest moments as he yells at the director and can't can on with his minute long segment on stress.
Great White North has Doug saying he is a mystery guest with ear muffs on his eyes. Bob tries to have Doug play guess the beer, with an empty breakaway bottle.
Bob Hope is "Taxi Driver" next, saying "Are you talkin' to me? I never let Darryl Zanuck talk to me like that!"
Guy tries to give a message on the new year 1981, but is so drunk he passes out. Mrs Prickley tries a message also but she is drunk too and the scene fades out.
We are transported to the future of New Year's Eve 1983, as Bittman talks to Guy, Edith, Rabbi Karlov, Marcello and Bill Needle about the coming year of 1984. At the stroke of midnight we are transported to George Orwell's time of Big Brother.
A picture of Orson Welles is shown representing Big Brother watching you. Dave Thomas plays Comrade Kangaroo, a children's host who teaches you to rely on Big Brother for everything. Tony Rosato plays Comrade Allen, an exercise show host. Doublethink is a game show where the answers are only right if Big Brother says they are, Dave gets the answer wrong and is sent to the rat cage. Then we get The Praise Big Brother Show, in which RIck Moranis and Robin Duke play versions of Jim and Tammy Baker heaping religious praise for Big Brother. Charlton Heston shows up and tries to speak his mind but the set blows up.
Guy awakens from his dream and nearly passes out again, but stops it because he says the show didn't work the first time. He gives new year greetings as the credits roll.
