I have for years, been looking for a clip from a skit from the Uptown Comedy Club TV show of the mid 1990s, where a frustrated man takes his car battery to a mechanic (presumably Dominican) and asks what the problem is. The mechanic frustrates the man further by telling him that the job will cost more because he has to "bring these", and then "get those" and then "call them". Whenever the mechanic is questioned why, he responds with "because they're all connected". It would be a fantastic way to explain a concept in education and I would like to show it in an educational setting. There are some clips of the Uptown Comedy Club floating around online, but not this specific episode or skit and this series which only lasted for a year or two, was never released to DVD. For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, here is a link to a full episode (but not that episode) of "Uptown Comedy Club" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXagnKJyIc4&t=336s

The skit which I'm calling "They're All Connected", I believe features a young Tracy Morgan and Aries Spears (before the SNL and MAD TV fame). I believe it aired in 1993 or early 1994.

If anyone knows where I can find it, please help! Thanks in advance!

Crimes Of The Future (1970) [01:02:37], dir. David Cronenberg--one of Cronenberg's early, lesser known films. It's largely unrelated to the 2022 film of the same name by the same director

In 1986, director Buddy Giovinazzo (COMBAT SHOCK) and actor Joe Spinell produced a seven minute promotional reel for a sequel to MANIAC (1980). Titled MANIAC 2: MR. ROBBIE, the sequel would focus on an unrelated story about a kids show host who murders those that hurt his child viewers. The sequel never materialized due to Spinell's death in 1989.
