Jack's house attacking the family: Keaton versus the washing machine, dryer and self-starting vacuum

One host's candidates begin with Jack getting fired, where everybody is trying to strangle each other and Jeffrey Tambor and Christopher Lloyd share the scene, which feels very 80s and would not be written that way today; the clip is played.

Martin Mull, as Terry Garr's creepy boss, makes his first visit to the house and Keaton comes to the door holding a chainsaw, overalls and a backwards Lions trucker hat, the two men sizing each other up over the 220, 221 wiring line; the clip is played, and the other host decides this is where Michael Keaton and Mr. Mom invented the hipster dad seen in Brooklyn and Silver Lake.
