I loved those little clips...his name was "The Timer" if I am not mistaken. At the begining of one of the clips his dialogue starts, "Time for timer. What!? No time for breakfast?" so i always assumed his name was the Timer.

When my ten gallon hat if feeling 5 gallons flat I hanker for a hunk of cheese When I'm dancing a hoedown and my boots kinda slowdown or anytime i'm weak in the knees I hanker for a hunk of a slabbin slice and chunk of for snacks it is a winner and yet won't spoil my dinner I hanker for a hunk of cheese YAHOO!
