AND NOW BARTH

By VBS Staff

We’re saddened to report that 2009’s Harvest of Greats has claimed yet another victim. Les Lye, notable not only for his dedicated and gag-triggering portrayal of burger magnate Barth Bagge on You Can’t Do That On Television but also for being the only adult cast member of a kids’ ensemble comedy in living memory who didn’t set off major “bad-touch” alarms in our head (we think it had something to do with the fact that he looked somewhere in the middle of a muppet and a munster) has left for the Great Geodesic Stage Set in the Sky to throw half-eaten apples in the face of God the father almighty. We’ve got no clue what the illuminatos responsible for this cull are setting the stage for, but if it’s a world free from rubber-faced depictions of weird, strawman authority figures, you’re halfway there assholes. RIP, Barth.
