A pre-Seinfeld Michael Richards and Mark Blankfield star in this infamous Friday's skit about a maniacal chiropractor with some very unusual therapy techniques.

The timing and skill involved in pulling this one off in front of a live audience, and without actually hurting themselves, is pretty amazing. Richards and Blankfield must have been in really good shape back then.

I have been to a number of chiropractors , and one of them, in Newton, MA, came to my mind watching this.

Part of her appeal to me at first was that such a sophisticated stunner of a woman could get so goofy. I loved her schtick.

I liked Fridays, but a LOT of the sketches haven't aged very well.
WAY too much drug "humor".
But Michael Richards really shined.
Larry David, too.

Definitely agree about the drug humor sketches. The recurring “stoner pharmacist” bit has aged especially badly. It’s almost as bad as the Franken and Davis sketches on early SNL. Though those were never funny in the first place.

You know it! Beautiful and funny.
Aged really well, too. Shewas still smokin’ hot when she played Principal Musso on Parker Lewis Can’t Lose in the 1990s. And to be honest, I think she still looks pretty darn good now for 67 years old.
