The premise

Here’s the bit.

This installment of Appalachian Emergency Room, a mock hospital-documentary series, follows the holiday rush at a rural clinic. Percy and Netti Bo Dance explain how stringing lights on wheelchairs ended in electrocution, while their druggie son wanders through with a doughnut. Two cousins describe a lawn-dart mishap, a man arrives with a ribbon-wrapped watermelon and an unfortunate story, and a drunken nativity performer tells the doctor how a pageant that nobody attended turned into a contest of a different kind. A stuntman finishes the parade of patients with a hardware-store injury.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Yeah, wheelchairs is better than lawn chairs because they got wheels on them.

It's better to give than receive. Well, that's good, because I sure gave it to this watermelon.

I'm your medical ball of clay. Mold me.

  15. 01:45

    Otis Peaks

    I was ready to wait for the Jart, that was coming at me, and I wouldn't have outrun it, but I crashed in my ferret condo. I was bidding with my new wife's ex-husband.

  16. 01:53

    Nerod

    Now, are you feeling any pain in your hand?

  17. 01:56

  24. 02:29

    Nerod

    You take your time, Tyler. Take your time.

  25. 02:32

    Tyler

    Okay, I got it. I was wrestling this watermelon in the snow, and my wife was playing with a mousetrap on the front porch. George. Well, that trap went off and it startled me so much that my belt undid, my pants flew off and then I slipped groin forward onto this here watermelon.

  26. 02:51

    You can have it if you can get it off.

  27. 02:54

    Sandy Joey Juggerson

    Okay, everybody, listen Listen up. Here's the timeline as follows. We was doing a professional live nativity scene over by the lake's picnic area, and since no one showed up, the girl who was playing Mary and I found ourselves ingesting a lot of beers. Now I'm not gonna lie to ya, I was and I still am highly intoxicated.

  32. 03:29

    Sandy Joey Juggerson

    Now you stay with me. Now what happens when you're doing a live nativity that no one shows up to? Correct. Turns into a farting contest. Test.

  33. 03:38

    Sandy Joey Juggerson

    Good news, I won. Bad news, I think I pushed a good deal of my pootie pucker out on the winning rip. I'm your medical ball of clay. Mold me.
