I wonder how many sketches have been redubbed. Obviously the Barry and Levon pudding sketch, and I guess they probably had to take "Cannonball" out of the pants sketch, but would that necessitate redubbing the entire sketch?
The dialogue redubbing bothers me more than the music replacement. I can't picture a way of them doing that without it being jarringly noticeable.

The closest thing I can compare this to is the SNL "Schmitts Gay" sketch. That sketch was never quite as funny with the replacement music as it was with the original. I'm happy that this is coming out, but it's a shame that things like this have to mar an otherwise exciting DVD release. (And that every company can't be cool like Shout! Factory and find a way to work these things out).
