Trivia

- The statue of liberty was played by frequent Red Box backing singer Sue Thomas.

Summary

Props and imagery that convey stereotypical American culture: cowboy hats, fast food, backing singer Sue Thomas dressed as the Statue Of Liberty, etc.  One memorable segment features a huge rotating table made to look like a record player, which Simon promptly falls off of.  The general mood is lighthearted and fun.

[three minutes, forty-three seconds]

Screen Captures

Opening scene: Julian gets all wound up.

Clockwork Julian debunks the rumour that using the typewriter requires paper of some kind.

"Look here, Julian, we're on television!"

Simon is hanging upside-down and narrowly avoids getting smacked in the face by a passing flying hamburger.  Go back and re-read that last sentence. I don't really have to make a joke here, do I?

Simon runs along a flag as dollar bills hit him in the face (yeah, I hate it when that happens, too).

The lovely Lady Liberty.  Shades of Pet Shop Boys' "Go West" video years later.

"Every house must have it's hat on..."
