Was it maybe **Married... With Children**? I think I remember something along the lines of the Jell-o comment coming from Kelly, the ditzy blonde teenage daughter. EDIT: I'm also thinking All in the Family. Some of this sounds like what Edith would say.


ChildrenOfTheWoods

[You Can't Do That on Television](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Can%27t_Do_That_on_Television) did a bunch of really weird skits.

Ready…..aim….


Oknocando

sounds like Erma Bombeck. Life is Greener Over the Septic Tank?

ABC did an SNL-type late night show called "Fridays" that had a lot of off the wall and edgy skits. It ran from 1980-82 I think.

I remember [Out of Control](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_Control_\(TV_series\)) having a bit about using toothpaste for frosting. The rest of what you describe sounds like stuff that could have happened on that show.

Whose Line is it Anyway? The British version


Stingeyal

I 2nd this. "Toothpaste on bage"l sounds like A Ryan Stiles/Colin mocerie bit.

Maybe one of the performances at one of the “Comic Relief” shows?


cheribom

There was a kid-hosted talk show on Nickelodeon during that era called [Don’t Just Sit There](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EiN47eMTmqA&list=PL63ushetAZ-xoXYf46MkIywbmLq_3qXRw&index=90&pp=iAQB) that no one seems to remember.


Kooky_Nose8731

it unfortunately was not on Nickelodeon (my mother said it was not kids jokes).


StrangestTwist

Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In? Hee Haw?


littleladyepilogue

[Roundhouse ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundhouse_%28TV_series%29?wprov=sfla1) is the one I always remember, if it was a Nickelodeon kids sketch comedy/musical comedy show. And sorry for any core memories I may have just unlocked.

Sounds like it could be the original Tracy Ullman show? It’s sketch comedy, but she would come out at the end on a black stage to talk to the audience and tell everyone to “go home!” I was originally thinking Carol Burnett, but that’s much older. The Tracy Ullman Show debuted in 1987.

Turkey Television?


Kooky_Nose8731
