I wish that I would never have another day where my t-shirts are dirty.

I wish that I could dance as well as John Johnson.

I wish that I could slap Gabe once everyday for the rest of his or my life…
and that with each slap, our love grew stronger and stronger.

ha ha ha that was wonderful!! i loveeed it.

OMG! How funny! Paul Ruff workin’ the butt for Good Commitment. He must be warming up for summer show at SCT.

I’d wish for a bunch of girls to show me their boobs because they want me to admit that I’m straight…that would rule.
April 16th, 2007 at 6:33 pm
I’d wish that when people fall, all embarrassing-like, that I’d be there to witness all of ‘em. I’d point.

I wish that I could get back the Milky Way. Garkblat is mad.

So, that definitely sounds like something from good ol’ Greene County.
April 16th, 2007 at 9:16 pm
incredible once again! i’d wish for a superpower: control of gravity! :-)
April 16th, 2007 at 9:31 pm
I’d wish for the ability to stop time, so I could get more stuff done…..
Wait…. what’s the likelihood of me using this power for good????
You’re right… an infinitesimal chance.
So….. I’d wish for a bottle of Coke that is always cold and that never empties.

i wish that i was cool enough to be in a good commitment episode…I think im gonna contract cancer so that i can be a part of “make a wish foundation”…yes, that would be MY wish
April 16th, 2007 at 11:29 pm
Anything from the Western Sizzlin’ is quite possibly the best wish ever.
April 16th, 2007 at 11:35 pm
I can’t decide what I would wish for…a stress free life??? the power to predict/control the future??? to graduate this may??? SO I guess the proper wish would be that I would no longer be indecisive…and then maybe I will know how to react to Cameron’s comment…? (GREAT JOB GETTING PAUL R. TO SHAKE HIS GROOVE THING)

I wish I was a Kellogg’s cornflake…
(gotta love a GC episode that quotes Simon and GARFUNKEL)

Hi. I would like to ask the Peripook for tickets to Meatloaf’s Bat Out of Hell 3 tour and some boysenberries.
April 17th, 2007 at 1:32 am
Oh, yeah and I want Cameron’s wish too!
April 17th, 2007 at 7:59 am
I would wish that I would never have to pay another bill! (Oh, I’d still have bills, but they wouldn’t make me pay them.)

Too funny!!! Can’t wait to see what is next. Great job Paul Ruff!!!
April 17th, 2007 at 9:07 am
Thanks to all who root for the ‘pook. My wish would be to become a real peripook…and then to be superglued between Jessica Alba’s breasts.
April 17th, 2007 at 11:04 am
I wish I was Jessica Alba’s breasts squeezing around the Paul-ipook… and that I could say “fuck” on the SCT stage without being tarred and feathered. And for a burrito. And a Jones soda. Those are good.
April 17th, 2007 at 3:38 pm
I have fallen off my chair. Paul Ruff is the funniest man on the planet.
Raisins. Berry Like.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
April 17th, 2007 at 3:39 pm
Hilarious! Loved it!!! Keep ‘em comin’!
April 17th, 2007 at 4:36 pm
If you want to see those dance moves in person, you can attend SCT’s Summer Musical Revue - The Power of One, this July. Rumor has it this is the year Paul goes from hiding behind a column to being a featured dancer!
Of course that won’t be nearly as entertaining as hearing Gabe say fuck on stage, but hey - the Peripook only grants one wish!
Way to go Ruff!
P.S. Thomas, I am pretty sure your wish already came true! But next time you slap him could he be tarred and feathered first?
April 17th, 2007 at 7:06 pm
Continuing to get better w/ your filmism, I’m impressed.
April 18th, 2007 at 12:09 am
GOD BLESS THE PERIPOOK!! I really enjoyed this one guys. I busted when homie said Garfunkel the second time. . . Garfunkel . . . ha
April 18th, 2007 at 11:41 am
I like to say boysenberry, Garfunkel, and peripook!
April 19th, 2007 at 10:08 pm
Funny. Three arms… so funny. And then playing on the piano! Priceless.
April 20th, 2007 at 6:16 pm
HA! That is awesome; Every bit of it is great. I think people should say boisenberry and garfulnkle a lot more.
April 21st, 2007 at 6:25 pm
I’d wish for John Johnson to perform that wonderful dance in nothing more than that spicy cowboy hat and a thong…
…maybe some heels
…and fish nets!
Damn he’s beautiful!
Lovin’ the pookie
April 22nd, 2007 at 8:25 pm
Excellent! Best laughs I’ve had in days. My wish from the peripook—–A way to control Gabby the parrot’s outbursts!
April 23rd, 2007 at 6:49 pm
southern accents, cowboy hats, and the crickets - oh how i miss thee!
April 25th, 2007 at 9:50 am
Wow, funniest one yet!
April 29th, 2007 at 3:37 pm
