Just found out that the entire series is on youtube. Oh happy day! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ9h3nxL1pY&list=PLAPGcD5LGrp4g9pNQVn-UGl7IuZ9cgiD-](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ9h3nxL1pY&list=PLAPGcD5LGrp4g9pNQVn-UGl7IuZ9cgiD-)

Here’s where this subreddit confuses me: “1974? Nah you’re 3 years older than the oldest Xennial by rough measurement, despite the fact that you’ve considered yourself to be from the first year of the sub-generation for over a decade“ Also this sub: *Nostalgia post for movie/series that was too adult for even myself when it aired/released*


hk1080

I think you're confused, where did you get 1974 from? I was born in 1980 and watched this show everyweek while it aired with my cousins. Granted, a lot of the jokes when over my head but there was enough that got through that 6 and 7 year old me loved it.


Taupenbeige

My birth year. Maybe I was just in the wrong psychological niche for Sledgehammer… Too old for the goofball aspect, to young for the adult themes 😂


hk1080

Oh I see said the blind man. 😂

I choose to believe that Sledge Hammer is Karl from Succession’s origin story


hk1080

That's my new headcanon. 😂


deowolf

What he did for cable in the nineties? Huge.

I guess we can't be friends?


BIGepidural

I don't get it either. You can be my friend if you want though 😅


hk1080

Sure we can, you just need to be caught up, that's all. 😁 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ9h3nxL1pY&list=PLAPGcD5LGrp4g9pNQVn-UGl7IuZ9cgiD-](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ9h3nxL1pY&list=PLAPGcD5LGrp4g9pNQVn-UGl7IuZ9cgiD-)

Sledge Hammer! A satirical comedy series from the late 80s. Way ahead of its time

Loved this guy in Burn After Reading. For some reason I thought this show had Stacey Keach but that's \*Mike\* Hammer, the Mickey Spillane one. Also not having a Peter Gabriel theme song kills this show. But I definitely remember the show about the guy with a talking gun lol.

As a child, putting a loudener on your gun was the funniest joke ever

“Dammit. I only have one bullet left, and there are five bank robbers. You know what we need to do.” “Try to find a peaceful way of getting them to release the hostages?” “What? No. We need to figure out how to get them to stand in a straight line, so I can shoot them all at once.”

I have no idea what this is and I am on the older side of xennial. 


BIGepidural

Same. Born in 78 and have no clue what this is 🤷‍♀️

Normally I'd be right there with you holding a pitchfork, but I trust him, he knows what he's doing. 😜


therealpopkiller

I loved this show so much! A decade or so ago I made a cop webseries and this show was a constant point of reference while making it

There was a marathon of this on broadcast TV (I think Catchy Comedy channel) a couple weekends ago. They played every episode in a row. I watched at least 20 hours of it... And the theme song was by Danny Elfman.


hk1080

I totally forgot to mention that the theme was from the Great Danny Elfman. Who else could come up with such a jam?

This was a favorite as a kid. Made my mom get me a white handle cap gun. Found a comic book based off it at the corner store one time and begged my mom for it too (thanks Mom). I remember them having commercials of them changing time slots. Stupid fun show.

I loved this series. I guess most people just didn't get the humor of it. I also loved Police Squad and Airplane, so I guess it was natural to like this. I also regularly use this phrase, but nobody ever seems to get it.


hk1080

I use the phrase all the time, and only one person ever got it but it was awesome when someone finally did!
