BoingBoing has unearthed a 1982 video featuring raw footage of Bill Murray, complaining (comedically) about dumb technological advancements of the early 1980s like digital watches (“People have hands, I think watches should have hands”), talking dashboards in cars (“I would put my foot right through that dashboard”), and robots (“R2-D2…he was funny, he was cute, he’s a fine, fine actor”).
Also on robots: “I don’t think I’d like to be driving in a car that was put together by a robot. I don’t think it’s smart, I don’t think it’s funny.”
On the better idea of having a robot passenger who would fill the car up with gas: “They’ll never do it. Because it makes too much sense.”
And on the process of having to think up material on-set: “What do you want?”
The footage was intended for a TV series about technology in the 1980s called “Wired In,” which never aired.
Weird trivia: Both a documentary and biography about Murray’s Saturday Night Live castmate John Belushi were also called “Wired.”
