In Living Color | Fire Marshall Bill (Home Safety)

Показать описание

Fire Marshal Bill Burns – Jim Carrey portrayed a crazed, masochistic (and supposedly immortal) fire marshal with a manic grin and laugh along with a scarred face whose safety advisories usually include demonstrating (on himself) the very disaster he's warning against. (Every sketch illustrates a timeline of readily-visible damage on Bill from previous episodes). Usually, the warnings are against ridiculous situations that would never come to pass, such as an alien crab-people invasion, a sex doll that was accidentally inflated with hydrogen instead of air which then exploded due to static electricity, or an outbreak of psychotic elves. Every sketch ends with Fire Marshal Bill blowing up the facility he's teaching at, to which the people involved look at the burning facility and either lament what will become of them or simply stare in shock while Fire Marshal Bill says a witty comment and (sometimes) leaves to do more "safety advisories". Despite each sketch showing him lose parts of his body (in one sketch, only his head remained), Bill never dies. In about half the sketches, he gave his full name as Fire Marshal Bill Burns. In one episode when on a cruise, he had a blonde wife named Ashley (a play on the term ash) who also was seemingly immune to the damage Bill caused. Her face was similarly scarred like Bill's was and she was a party to his demonstrations (spreading gasoline in a life raft to prove Bill's point about the danger of flare guns). His catchphrases included "Lemme show ya something!!", "Don't worry folks, I'm a Fire Marshal!" and "It can be very, very DTUHHH-DTUHHH ... DEADLY!"

In Living Color was an American sketch comedy television series that originally ran on the Fox Network from April 15, 1990, to May 19, 1994. Brothers Keenen and Damon Wayans created, wrote and starred in the program.

Jim Carrey's physical performance as Fire Marshall Bill was nothing short of phenomenal. It's arguably one of the best skits from In Living Color.

Ahh the 80's and 90's ---- real talent and classic entertainment. I really miss those days!

Fire Marshall Bill is single handedly the most terrifying and hilarious immortal being to walk the planet. I want to run away from him in fear as much as I want to stay and see what he does next.

Jim needs to be in a horror movie. Truly terrifying stuff right here

I took this era in human history for granted.

i remember watching this as a kid. I’ve always made sure to not sneeze near my stove whilst holding a match in case a meteorite comes flying thru my kitchen window. No incidents yet. Thanks Fire Marshall Bill!!

Jim Carrey is a living legend and has bought joy in my life through his comedy. He is my favorite comedic actor and it will never be another like him. ..

Jim Carrey is such a good actor notice his lazy eye changes when he gets electrocuted. Funny as heck 🤣

Fire Marshall Bill was a dam lunatic, but I have to give him credit for pointing out actual fire hazards before he screwed up what he was attempting to prevent.

You know even though fire marshal Bill engages in extreme measures, to the point of scorching his hair bald, electrocuting himself, burning his bare hand on an oven, letting his fingers catch on literal fire, he kicks some knowledge and legitimate information about fire safety, that I remember being taught in school. Jim Carrey has played some versatile characters. The entire cast actually.
