    Oh wow. I am clearly older than you because Thomas was something that I was way too old for by the time it came on TV and I had plenty of Carlin’s albums, but yeah, that must have been a head trip. I wonder if there are any other examples like that. I can’t think of any off the top of my head.

    EDIT: Thought of one. Bob Saget, the world’s dirtiest comedian, playing a dad on the sickeningly wholesome show Full House.

      Bob Saget’s entire career was a ruse to shock children. Full House and America’s Funniest Home Videos. And then literally everything else he did was just different versions of The Aristocrats.

      Bob Saget is an awesome pick. Tim Allen was sort of similar although it wasn’t nearly as shocking as Bob Saget. America’s funniest home videos was so lame that the bar was as low as possible.
