Maybe I had been suppressing notions of ever having watched Bobby's World, Howie Mandel's not-so-great cartoon that ran through most of the 90s, as it wasn't until last night's VEEP debate that all of Palin's "ya know"s and "betcha"s resurrected fuzzy memories of the Fargo-esque "Martha Generic", Bobby's mom.
Thanks to mean rachel for confirming my mind grapes (Martha can be heard in the first 2 min of this clip; no need to bother with the other 7).
My cousin, Tim Landers, played the bass on the Bobby's World theme song. In retrospect, that may have been the show's only redeeming value.
