If this is old hat, I do apologize.

I was having a pretty crappy day, but seeing this on a friend's Facebook page quickly turned my day around. If you didn't notice, check out the the emblem on the bell. Nice attention to detail, wouldn't ya say?

This was part of a Japanese variety show and actually ran for quite some time. (something like 150 mini episodes) It even featured the actor who played Tachibana in the first five shows.

I also posted this photo over on r/kamenrider and this is what Redditor ukiyoe had to say:

"This is Kamen Norida, a regular skit by the Tunnels that was popular in the late 80s through the early 90s. They made this parody without consent from the creators, so home video versions have never surfaced.
Also, one of the big reasons for why the Kamen Rider series was gone for 10 years after Kamen Rider Black RX is blamed on this parody, as the producer at the time felt insulted to work on something that people would poke fun and laugh at. At the same time, Ishinomori Shotaro also gave approval of the show.
So while funny, it has a bitter-sweet history with Kamen Rider"

They also included a couple of links to Japanese wiki pages that I have not bothered to translate and read yet, but here they be.

This & That & Something else & One other thing

Interesting, all the same.

(and sorry about posting in the wrong place, wasn't too sure where to dump this)

I wonder if this skit would help explain the weird, embarrassed attitude toward the Showa stuff you see from Toei during the early Heisei Rider productions. Kuuga is responsible for at least a little of that, but I always felt like even misinterpreting Kuuga wouldn't explain all of it.
