I like how Al A. Peterson's canon never gets expanded because they spend every appearance rehashing the same backstory. And yet somehow it never gets old.
It's a great character. The premise, like all of PFT's, is so out-there. Or rather, down there. I always think about that ring of hair round his a-hole. (spoiler alert) But even the "mundane" moments of Al's story (such as having the Ryan Gaul to tell Carlifer's father, while mom is soused on vermouth in the kitchen, that his daughter's name is a clumsy portmanteau) are brilliant and worthy of the giggles bubbling and building in Scott as he anticipates, no, KNOWS what is to come. Funnier still, Al forgets bits of his own story, often needing reminders from Scott, who wasn't there, as to what happened on the night Al earned Carl's respect with direct words and hand-crushing agony. Like all PFT peeps, the Smooth Criminal has Tompkins' unique stamp of crazy, illustrated with words that paint a picture as ridiculous as the price tag on one of Hunter Biden's. It's obvious Paul LOVES words, strange-sounding words, "portmanteau" being one he uses to great effect, funny in itself and rare as fuck. I don't mean "portmanteau" is as rarely heard as"fuck", which is in some every second word used, though it WAS rarer than "portmanteau" when I was a kid, back when Aussie TV host Graham Kennedy was taken off air for his "crow call" (faaaaaarrrrrrccccck). A time when saying "bloody" would get a kid a smack on the head. No, of course I mean the use of "portmanteau" is rare as fuck, as in, other than the Smooth Criminal, who can you think of who says "portmanteau"? Like Scott waiting for that "clumsy portmanteau" moment, the words from PFT I start laughing about before they're uttered, concern the writers (and strict copyright-holders) of the much-sung, with risk of a fine every time, "Happy Birthday To You". Paul and Scott's frequent, possibly obsessive rants about the two sisters who won't let a buck past their long-dead hands will always be funny, but how hilarious it is that instead of being "tight bitches", or something else unimaginative, on CBB the Hill sisters will always be known as "miserly crones". Anyway Sam, thanks for bringing the Smooth Criminal top o' mind. Now my ramble is done I'll enjoy Al's strange story again a few times. Here's to Paul F. Tompkins' Al A. Peterson, another brilliant PFT triumph of voice, acting, improvisation and surreal silliness.
I love the clumsy portmanteau story. I've been trying to work it into a comment about the name of the new Steelers stadium but I can't determine whether it is, in fact, a portmanteau.

I don't think anything gives me as much joy as Scotty Auks' girlish giggle, at EVERY telling!
No surprise, since Hot Saucerman is SO tickled by the submissive father-in-law aspect of the story.
It still amazes me that Scott and Paul just BREEZE PAST a “You Can Call Me Al” joke during the Smooth Criminal’s first appearance
Al A. Peterson is on of my favorites. Appreciate the video
Cheers. I love Scott's reaction every time he hears the story.
One day this will be the bible for a new society.
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
I hope he picks up the hip dysplasia bit again.
Funny 😂😅😊
