Four boring jobs. Four bored idiots. Witness the workday ramblings of a quartet of morons breaking the chains of tedium before nipping off to the pub. Atop Mount Drinkmore, every hour is Happy Hour.

Did you know he was only 17 when they filmed Cocoon?
Man, he lost his hair pretty early. Poor guy.
Yeah, Wilford was still in the larval stage in Cocoon, so he didn't look too good. His appearance was much more palatable and dignified in Cocoon II with those stunning viceroy wings.
I can't eat Quaker oatmeal without hearing his voice in my head. And all I can think while I'm eating it is "Damn, Wilfred. You were soooo right".
I can't eat Quaker Oatmeal without thinking if I put sugar on it he's going to scream at me to check my bloodsugar every day like on those Diabetes commercials.
Wilford Brimley has become so associated with Quaker Oats that he should replace the statue of William Penn, Philadelphia's Quaker founder, atop City Hall.
And not merely with a statue of Wilford Brimley -- I mean the actual guy. Yeah, he'd get cold up there, but the irreparable damage to his skin and extremities would be balanced out by the magnitude of the honor.
Imagine being able to climb up to the top of Wilfred Brimley!
No thanks. Remember that painfully unneccessary massage scene with him in The Natural? I couldn't even look at a towel for two years afterwards.
That scene nearly caused the film to receive an "R" rating, and even though The Natural ultimately slipped through as "PG," Wilford Brimley's back has ever since been considered "box-office poison." Notice that, in the more than thirty films in which he's appeared since then, not one has shown him from any angle except from straight on, from the shoes down. Not coincidentally, his star power has skyrocketed.
