Yeah. Way too close.
Jack Handey is still working, and is still hilarious.
The “Made You Look” idea reminds me of this creepy and ridiculously ambitious episode of Too Close for Comfort where the main character has a Dorian Gray-style portrait. Imagine you’re a four-year old at your grandmother’s house around bedtime. And there’s a painting of Ted Knight on TV. That’s scary. Then, as you’re eating some grapes and watching TV before bed, the painting changes expressions. Until I found proof on the internet just now, I thought I had dreamed this terrible image. Nay, gentle readers, it is not safely contained in my subconscious, but lurking in some DVD collection, waiting to prey on the helpless.

If you’d like me to dislodge this nightmare with a different one, all you have to do is ask. I’m chock full of things that’ll keep you sleeping with the lights on.
