Bob and Ray rule in this

The whole cast is terrific, but it's Bob and Ray, in their various guises ("David Chetley", "Hugh Upson", "Arthur Lordly", "Walter Chronic") who crack me up without fail on each viewing.

Bob's attempted interviews (as Chetley) with the tobacco executive in Charlotte are particularly sidesplitting.

They're brilliant. In this, and everything else. Seeing them in this movie makes a person realize how underused they were in the movies.

I wish I knew them better. I have a single one of their LPs, and I have Chris Elliott's comical "tell-all book" about his father, with "rebuttals" by him!

Chris Elliott's comical "tell-all book"

That book is hilarious.
I remember when they came on Letterman to promo it too.

Bob and Ray are hilarious in all their characters. I miss those creative, good-spirited comedy teams. Really, I just miss comedians who actually made me laugh – solo or team.
