A Very Passover Celebrity Deathmatch

Happy Easter!  Disappointingly, The Ten Commandments isn't playing on TV tonight, (I may have missed it last Sunday).  Without it, the Easter season is incomplete.  I settled for the second-best,  Charlton Heston as Moses taking on Ramses for the freedom of the Israelites in the late 90's MTV series Celebrity Deathmatch:



The genius of the Celebrity Deathmatch sketches were that they successfully covered all the combatants' major clichés in just a few minutes of claymation extravaganza: here, mummies, plagues, the parting of the waters, and pyramids.  Oh my.

Bonus Easter Egg: Marilyn Manson's interview in the very first episode, explaining why he killed all of Hanson and the Spice Girls: "Why I'd do it?  Because I'm Marilyn Manson, the most evil man in America.  And because they asked for it 'cause they all suck, and their music sucks...and I hope they all go to Hell, and Satan takes his pitchfork.....'cause they're all a bunch of rotten poser loser..."
