A Wild West cocktail: 1 1/2 oz whisky, 1 oz peach schnapps, 2 oz cranberry juice. Mix Well. Garnish: no. Drink.(I love the instruction 'garnish: no'.)
Anyway, hello! This is going to be a bit of a random Breckin!celebration post. Just because sometimes getting lost in youtube is a great use of a day. A week. A few months. Whatever.
I'm not going to concentrate on his films, but

vic_amy_z made a great round up post about them here. And I'm not going to concentrate on his lovely interviews either, they will have to wait for another time. This post is (mostly) going to be snippets of his tv career that we've managed to track down, and random flailing. Let's start at the very beginning (a very good place to start). This is Breckin on Child's Play, in 1984. He's only in the first 50 seconds or so:
He is also kind of ridiculously cute and tiny in The Wonder Years episode, where he's a bit of a bad boy that Kevin falls in love with: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
In 2003, He was in a pilot for an HBO show, The Near Future, and HBO decided NOT TO MAKE TV WITH BRECKIN IN IT. No, I don't understand that either. Here is a clip from it, which is all that seems to be online.
Inside Schwartz was either the most unwatchable garbage you've ever seen, or kind of amazing and likely to rival Friends for the bestest sitcom ever, depending on which reviews you believe. Either way, we might never know, it's nowhere to be found.
But if you load this video, then there are LITERALLY 5 seconds worth of trailer for it at about 2'40. But in those 5 seconds Breckin dances with some cheerleaders, and takes his top off. So it's kind of worthwhile somehow:
And these are some photos Vic tracked down,
Why does more tv does not take this example of making Breckin just remove clothes slightly???? I have all the confusion in the world.
(Your best source for naked Breckin is Studio 54, a film which cut out all of his gay scenes, but still has him dressed only in tight short shorts for a lot of the time. I'm just saying.)
He's actually made quite a few sitcoms that are HIDDEN FROM THE WORLD. The internet is mostly pretending they just don't exist, but there are a few bits and pieces out there:
- Where's Rodney? - This is the titles for an 'abominable' tv pilot from many many years ago. A young babyish Breckin with much hair.
- Jackie Thomas Show - interview - This is an interview with Breckin and some other nineties stars, I think he's quite late on in it, and do get a clip from the Jackie Thomas Show. HE IS RIDICULOUSLY PRETTY. Fair warning.
- Jackie Thomas Show - opening credits - At about 2'10 you get an incredibly grainy blurry title credits. It looks terrible. But amazing. You get split seconds of Breckin playing a broom like a guitar.
- Married To The Kellys - That's a link to the first part of the first episode, there are only a few episodes up on youtube at the moment, and they're cut into 2 minute pieces, but they are there. It's . . . not the greatest comedy in the world. BUT HE IS SO SHINY.
- The Home Court - I can't find ANY video footage for this one, but there are a couple of promo shots:
Josie and the Pussycats is a kind of great film even though it's not about Breckin Meyer. But the Breckin Meyer bits are CLEARLY MOST AWESOME. He's in a band, they disappear after about five minutes of the film, but IT IS WORTH WATCHING BECAUSE OH:
That's 'Back Door Lover' and there's also 'Around The World'. But there are other lovely bits that somehow don't make it to youtube. Including this, which is also back door lover, but a different video: http://00sjams.tumblr.com/post/12520788646
Some other musical interludes turn up in Road Trip. Breckin Rapping, in a deleted scene thing, I think? And then a singalong bit to I Wanna Rock.
And he's in a band in 'Can't Hardly Wait', which he is barely in, but he is SO PRETTY, but it isn't somehow on youtube. Whatever, youtube:
Speaking of deleted scenes, Herbie: Fully Loaded is actually quite a nice film all told, but they just CUT Breckin's whole storyline out, so you should just watch the deleted scenes instead. HE DRUMS SOMETIMES IN THEM. Scene 1. Scene 2. Scene 3. Scene 4. And of course the Bloopers.
(If you like the drumming as much as Vic does, there are various bits of him drumming on youtube, but this is lovely, although he's mostly hidden. Hidden but happy.)
This is a spoilery, but lovely scene from Caffeine, which is a sort of nothingy film, but it's okay. There has been an ongoing plot where they've found a used condom and have been trying to work out who it belonged to:
He's in an episode of Party of Five. It's all on youtube, here's part 1 of 5.
He was in an after school special about not being racist, in which he was Quite Racist and not in it a lot. But he did take off his shirt. I have a download link for it if anyone would like it:
And he's in basically one minute of a film called Pay Back, (AKA 'Pay Back: Not the one with Mel Gibson in it'):
EDITED TO ADD THIS LINK:This link is INCREDIBLY NOT SAFE FOR WORK: NSFW: DON'T CLICK ON IT: But if you do click, there are two TERRIBLE photoshops of Breckin's head on naked bodies. They're not well done. They're slightly hilarious. AND VERY NAKED. And erect. And weird.
IN CONCLUSION, SOME MORE PICTURES OF BRECKIN BEING PRETTY:
I'm sure I missed a load of stuff, but I think that will have to do for now, because OH MY GOD so many links.
This is a WTF Wednesday, so you can talk to me about the CUTENESS of Breckin Meyer, or just ignore all this and talk to me about your toenails or something. Anything and everything.
(Also, not to totally forget the Bash, MPG was in a film yesterday on TNT, there are probably chances to catch it again? I don't know how america works. There's a tweet showing him with his co star, Carla Gugino, now and also when she made a guest appearance on Good Morning Miss Bliss: https://twitter.com/#!/FrankandBashTNT/status/144170318213300225/photo/1)
