Y'all are brutalizing me!
I was bakin' for my momma!
Man's best friend is a dog and this is my dog and I made my best friend a sweater!
The killer what took me is entitilitus
Y'alls forgot y'alls cameraman
He never needed a second take!

A parody of the reality TV show COPS featuring Ronnie Dobbs, an inveterate low-level criminal who is repeatedly arrested on camera for various absurd offenses. The sketch follows Ronnie through multiple arrests, capturing the exploitative nature of reality crime television. The segment includes mockumentary-style interviews, a fictional movie adaptation of Ronnie's life called "Natural Born Drunk," and a Puscifer performance featuring Maynard James Keenan and Adam Jones from Tool. The sketch satirizes reality crime television and its exploitation of criminals for entertainment, while also mocking the celebrity-making machine of Hollywood.

Headshots not available due to video format (1995 COPS-style parody with rapid cuts and lower quality).
