Description

As with his predecessor Ernie Kovaks, everything is fair game for ridicule in Dibble’s gentle and eccentric humor. Skillfully manipulating the video image in these brief sketches, Dibble gives us his view on subjects ranging from the practical application of Newton’s law, to the prospect of video dating. Born Yesterday includes:  

1. Newton’s Law, 00:45

2. Mr. Dibble, 01:16

3. Three Things, 01:49

4. Video Dating, 05:38

5. Cantankerous Television, 3:44

About Teddy Dibble

Reminiscent of a simpler time (when crawly things were really scary), Dibble’s videotapes offer membership in a boys' club of comedy hijinks. Based on visual and linguistic puns, his short works poke fun at everything from medical etiquette to prevalent truisms to the nature of the medium itself. Dibble lives and works in Kansas City.
