Fire Marshal Bill . . . In Living Color

Jim Carrey portrayed a fire marshal with a manic grin and scarred face whose safety advisories usually include demonstrating (on himself) the very disaster he's warning against. (Interestingly enough, every sketch illustrates a timeline of readily-visible damage on Bill from previous episodes). Usually, the warnings are against ridiculous situations that would never come to par. Catchphrases included "Lemme show ya something!!" and "It can be very, very DTUHHH-DTUHHH...DEADLY!" He was the only major character to be frequently used in all five seasons.
