Music Video[]

Gump is a double parody of both the movie Forrest Gump and the Presidents of the United States of America's music video for "Lump". Andy Comeau appears as the titular character, Forrest Gump. Throughout the video, Forrest offers different people chocolates. He first offers Gladys Ormphby (Ruth Buzzi's Laugh-In character) some chocolates and she hits him with her purse. The second offer is to large, strong man Henry Reichenbach which results in Gump being spun around by his head. He then offers Pat Boone some chocolates. Boone greedily devours most of the box.

Song Notes: This is a parody of "Lump" by The Presidents Of The United States Of America, possibly the only band with a harder-to-type-over-and-over name than "Weird Al" Yankovic. It's a really catchy song and... um, that band up there was so impressed and liked it so much that when they'd do the original song, they'd usually end it with "And that's all I have to say... about that!" like in this one. Hooray for that band and this guy, too! - Rev. Syung Myung Me
