Born Yesterday (1991)

As with his predecessor Ernie Kovacs, everything is fair game for ridicule in Teddy Dibble's gentle and eccentric humor. Skillfully manipulating the video image in these brief sketches, Dibble gives us his view on subjects ranging from the practical application of Newton's law, to the prospect of video dating. 'Born Yesterday' includes the following short films by the artist: Newton's Law (0:45); Mr. Dibble (1:16); Three Things (1:49); Video Dating (5:38); and Cantankerous Television (3:44). This title is also available on Teddy Dibble Videoworks - Volume 1 (1996).
