The strategy is more see through than 99% of windows and none of the hockey pundits have the chutzpah to call it out.

I wonder what Don Cherry would have to say on the matter.  He's a persona non grata  nowadays thanks to some remarks about Canadian society, but it would be interesting to see if he would have thoughts on the issue.

I see your point, but I tend to think that Isaiah McKenzie is now Donald Duck, while Josh Allen is now Scrooge McDuck.  Both eminently recognizable, both vital parts of the whole.

My second choice is Jerry Hughes same deal as Knox less the sticky gloves

Dr. Demento! I used to listen to it back in WNY on Saturday afternoons, wish I could remember what station. Heard "Call Any Vegetable" for the first time thanks to the good doctor.

Apparently Weird Al has given Dr. Demento (Barry Hansen) a few background roles in his videos.  Dr. Demento is credited with giving Weird Al national exposure.

Weird Al is a Brit?

 

Full disclosure: I thought I stole that line from a friend, had no idea it was from Weird Al until you posted. Either way, sentiment fits.

That song never got the airplay it deserved.  And living in Canada, I adopted the British spelling a long time ago.  'Check' on a checklist or playing chess is still 'check'.  I am not certain as to the paper the server brings you in the restaurant to settle the tab. 🤔

Sounds like a dumpster fire over there.

The Meadowlands are haunted.  Ghosts.  Malevolent forces disrupting football practices.  Don't believe any of that stuff that Jimmy Hoffa's remains were found at the Penn Dixie quarry.
