wow! I find it so awesome when I watch these old clips I remember watching them when they aired live and all the details. 80s Letterman Show was so impactful during my HS/College years. These days I can barely remember what I did yesterday, but with this clip I damn sure knew that Joe was going to demonstrate how "That's some of the coolness in me." and that 'Fat Guy' and 'Fat Boy' were going to come together for a wonderful moment. What a great time for late night TV. Dave revolutionized it all and I thank him for such fond memories.
Yes, it has! But I’m pretty sure that is haze not smog - the local Native Americans who populated the valley a couple hundred years ago used to call it smoke. It’s actually dust from the hills and mountains. I think.
It is funny i watched this when it aired in 1985 when i was 20 yrs old in Honolulu when I was in the Army.....I thought it was so funny and clever at the time....crazy the little things u sometimes remember...
Now in my head i am picturing an absolutely heartwarming and beautiful true story film where the two Fat guys actually bonded and became best friends and their grandchildren still consider each other family after all of these years.
Ah, the good old days when people has cleverly upbeat or literally personalized plates. Now, you can be entertained by reading the list of "rejected plates" that are published by various States. LOL, I vaguely remember watching this originally, and then a few years ago on YT. Only the end stuck with "We are the World" as the two owners meet was unforgettable. My God, it doesn't look all that long ago, but these people would now be anywhere from their 60s to dead! No fat here....everything is solidly funny. The 70s cars may not have been that interesting only ten years onwards, but there is a resurgence in the "malaise era" vehicles. This is the epitome of the 1980s: classic Letterman comedy....(and "acool65"'s Miami Vice get-up).
Those blue California plates did not last long--they were the intermission between the classic black and yellow, and the blazing white. That iconic grey pall over the SFV---now THAT is the CA I grew up in. When a child is filling in a coloring book sky in SoCal, they won't be asking for a blue Crayola. 😂🖍😎
LOL!!!!!!!!! oh indeed, I only knew maybe 3 people in my youth(early 1990's) who where slobs, and even back then they never got like today, the food was not poison back then is why.
I remember seeing the IM HIP lady on another show back then and she even talked about teenagers giving her the peace sign, I think it was on Real People.
@@jimfeedback3996 Thank you!. I knew it looked familiar and I couldn't place it and now that you told me what it, was I remembered my grandparents had an Aspen sedan.
$25 for a personalised license plate? I haven't looked recently, but to get a personalised plate like one of those in the UK could have cost as much, if not more than the car you were putting it on at one time.
@Beau Shaw I may be misremembering slightly, but I recall a story of someone who paid almost £20,000 (possibly more) for a junker car just to get the number plates. I believe it was something like HRH 1. An acronym for Her or His Royal Highness 1... (it was just a coincidence) A lot of people here hated people who had personalised vanity plates when I was growing up.
I paid $100 in Canada 15 years ago to apply for mine, but it was a one time only payment, not a yearly add-on above and beyond my regular insurance. It cost me $25 to replace the plate when it was damaged during an accident.
Notice how Smoggy the air was in these clips. Recognize, folks that WE have cleaned up the air in CA QUITE A BIT since back then. It’s not completed but it’s certainly a Lot better. We live in a Democracy, where if you (the citizen) don’t like something, we can complain to our Representatives. We need to be sure that, no matter Who we choose for President in a few months, that person is Responsive to our Needs and Concerns. 🇺🇸
When I was a kid from California vanity plates were fun because it wasn’t often you’d see them nowadays everyone and their mama has them and most don’t even make sense 😂
Rob’s ‘65 Mustang wins the segment! 😍😍😍 (And his Wally Cleaver hairdo was almost as cool as his car!)
Simple concept made brilliant.
Dave= The King
this was a great idea for a segment
😅😂🤣 🤣Thank you for these much-needed comedy & 🚙 🚗 interviews !!!
Thanks for keeping this show going!
Better than anything out today
@@edub9930 back when comedy was comedy, now all late night is silly games and politics
Love this channel thank you so much!!!!
I dunno, but been a fan since the '90s. but only Dave can still make me belly laugh

Stop making me cry with beautiful music 😭

I gotta say, air quality has certainly improved in the LA Basin.
Yes, it has! But I’m pretty sure that is haze not smog - the local Native Americans who populated the valley a couple hundred years ago used to call it smoke. It’s actually dust from the hills and mountains. I think.
Comedy gold! 😆
Jerry!

*Fuggin AWESOME*
Joe was definitely the coolest of all.
Now in my head i am picturing an absolutely heartwarming and beautiful true story film where the two Fat guys actually bonded and became best friends and their grandchildren still consider each other family after all of these years.
IM HIP lady was my favorite.
You threw a Halloween party and people came in costumes.
versus a Christmas party and they wore the same costumes
Heh heh heh! OUTrageous!
Wow if Dave’s outfit is not a slice of the 80s. And the stiff, awkward humor he gets from the guests, I think that’s pretty darn special.
Joe from Chicago, living in LA while wearing a Las Vegas t-shirt
Hurta's station wagon was cool. I want to find one and get the same plates. 😆
Your name looks like your license plate.
I grew up on David Letterman... seriously i loved it. He may not like me. But ive always loved him

Well the clip was from 1985 (38 years ago), if they are alive they'd probably be in their 80s
Where’s A$$MAN! AKA Kramer
I like the first car ACOOL 75
My eyes hurt just seeing the smog in the background. Thanks CRZY DAN.
That huge pickup is the size of most pickups nowadays.
I love seeing old LA smog. It's crazy to see how bad it was
thank Catalytic Converters!
@@justanotherdrunk Definitely. And to think there were politicians who were against proposed smog laws.
I used to be a skydive instructor there ..... 😢
@@gerrett108 really? That's crazy. Nowadays I only see skydivers over by Lake Elsinore
@@user-vq3kw3ze3f yes, Elsinore and Perris
awesome stuff !
oooft Deborah is fine!
oh god yes, kinky insurance agent in a BMW, give me that fookin time machine!!!
The hip, happenin’ guy in the yellow-stylin’ the blowback way before the Gotti boys.

1969-1981 was standard but some went into the mid 80's as the owner had a choice of the new white one or the blue plate with gold lettering.
@@muziklvr7776 Nothing like specificity! Thanks! 😊🚗
Love you Dave💋
3:30 Great editing, haha
Hal Gurnee was the best director. Show was never the same when he left.
80's fat people would be considered in shape by today's standard
Maybe not in shape but not obese
those two guys are skinnier than most of today's cops
LOL!!!!!!!!! oh indeed, I only knew maybe 3 people in my youth(early 1990's) who where slobs, and even back then they never got like today, the food was not poison back then is why.
Good Lord. The polluted air looked terrible!
Omg it's EARL...BRING BACK A NEW SEASON
Is that Jason Lee's dad? This was so funny! Keep bringing em. ❤️
Dave in shorts….epic. The comedy…premium grade all the way.
Does anyone know where to find the old Wahoo Gazette that the Late Show used to post online?
I don't remember what you are talkin about, can you please explain? Thanks.
This was brilliant.
Thw first guy... is Very cool
I remember seeing this among a bunch of other random stuff on a VHS tape of stuff my parents had recorded off the TV when I was a kid
Nice cars
I remember seeing the IM HIP lady on another show back then and she even talked about teenagers giving her the peace sign, I think it was on Real People.
Does anyone recognize what kind of white car the I'm hip lady had ?
@debschaefer7820
Probably a late seventies Dodge Aspen station wagon
@@jimfeedback3996 Thank you!. I knew it looked familiar and I couldn't place it and now that you told me what it, was I remembered my grandparents had an Aspen sedan.
I am from the south and always thought personalized license plates meant they were one your daddy made for you when he was in prison!
There were some sweet rides, even IM HIP’s.
Is this a longer version than what aired or am I thinking of a version on an anniversary show?
Yeah, on at least one anniversary show there were snippets of this segment, usually the ACool75 guy.
Fattboy and Fatguy would only be considered slightly overweight today.
$25 for a personalised license plate?
I haven't looked recently, but to get a personalised plate like one of those in the UK could have cost as much, if not more than the car you were putting it on at one time.
In Ohio it is now around $50 a year.

Would you be able to post the one where Dave finds the person with the Be Happy license plate?
Ha ! 🤭😁
Joe is too cool lol
I have no words.
Upload Vanity and Apollonia Kotero interviews
Nice legs Dave! Lol
Long live, Larry "Bud" Melman!!!!
Dave lost his license because of this charade
Texas charges almost $500/year for custom plates :(
@4:46
He drives a Honda but wears a BMW vest.
that was confusing!
Crzy Dan almost lost it there. Scary as hell
My plate was "WHAZAT". It stands for "what's that" - A
tribute to an ex girlfriend.
🛑💥👀
or "WAH ZAT"
... "These were the people that agreed to show up." was lost on the LA crowd. WTH?
Ahhh...the 80s...wish we could fast forward to today
Wait. What?
I think she means why can’t we be living in the ’80s era today.
I want to rewind to tomorrow.
@@Tranquillado no, "she " meant I wish Dave would fast forward these same people's lives...to today....see what they are doing etc. Ty tho!
@@Sebastian_Dinwiddie see below. Lol
@1:28 epic 80s guy almost cringeworthy
Poor Corona, California.

not fat these days
That's really '80s because I don't think people get excited about vanity plates anymore.
Yeah we do. There's a game we play on the road.
This is when Dave was funny. Later he got messed up with the political ideology.
Get laid dude
🤝
Well, the "cool" guy was actually cool -
and the "hot" girl was pretty hot.
"Fat" boy not so fat though 😃
Fat? Yes. Boy? No.
BIG NUTZ
China's license plate Long doo 🤔😅🤣🤣
@Scott Brown Have you considered a career in comedy? Good.
only 25 bucks? Gees. cheap.
--------------------------- in vain vanity.....thx
What's great about these videos is that they show how horrible RUclips is!
A different era…When late night comedy was still funny and making a fat joke didn’t offend the blue check mark brigade
Damn right, fat is fat. Skinny is skinny. Isn't that a basic understanding? If you don't wanna be called out, just do the opposite thing.
By today’s standards, they really aren’t that fat
I don't like color of CA plates now..
Boring
First
Life goals. 😁🙄
When I was a kid from California vanity plates were fun because it wasn’t often you’d see them nowadays everyone and their mama has them and most don’t even make sense 😂
This is great. Reminds me of the world when I was 6.
