Oliver Reed we hardly knew ye. There was a whole other generation that had yet to know your drunkenness.

Thank God for YouTube.

Mind-Bending Psychadelic Bollywood Musical Featuring Animal Heads & Sequins

This is what happened when the 60s ran smack into Bollywood. And then through a barn. And then, some sort of professional dancing studio. I think.

To be honest, I’m still having a pretty hard time wrapping my head around it.

Thanks to YouTube user Sabian152 for the link.

Gang Fight Dance Crazy! 80s CBS Schoolbreak Special Gets Gangs Entirely Wrong

gavin.purcell — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 05:24:57 +0000

Gangs can be pretty scary things to young children if portrayed realistically. Their impressionable minds take to heart whatever images we choose to show them and these early perceptions stay with them a lifetime.

Which is exactly why I’m incredibly terrified of roving packs of effeminate dancing guys with scarves around the heads.

FYI, the above scene is for real and comes from the 1985 CBS Schoolbreak Special “Ace Hits The Big Time”. And was, ultimately, supposed to get kids scared straight. If anything, the opposite probably happend .

Of note: Mr. Belvedere’s Rob Stone plays lead. Here’s a dedicated Geocities page for Mr. Stone. Enjoy.

This seems to have picked up 500K views on YouTube but I’ve never seen it before.

Rap battles get no better. Words get no harder. And rhymes get no more difficult than camouflage.

Kids, listen up. This is what wrestling used to be. A real man’s sport.

You know, where guys in clown make-up beat up other guys named Koko.

Neal Repko - Student Band President On Local News Morning Show

gavin.purcell — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 05:27:12 +0000

Not only does Neal Repko get to be interviewed on the local news, he gets to lead the band in an early ‘wake-up-the-neighbors’ performance.

Not only do we get to be treated to an awesomely awkward local news interview but we also totally get to hear what happens when you’ve got the mic really close to someone who isn’t really playing the right tune!

Children’s Informational Video: “On Top Of The Potty”

gavin.purcell — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 02:45:50 +0000

There are times when children’s videos elevate above the level of educational drivel. This is not one of those times.

But the drivel here is exceptionally entertaining.

The Beatciples - World’s Worst Christian Beatles Cover Band

gavin.purcell — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 02:25:21 +0000

Be extremely careful around this band. They will suck you right into their downward spiral and before you know it, you’ll be sleeping with the drummer. Which may not sound bad to you now, but it should.

Two parts awesome animation from the same folks that did G.I. Joe. One part asskickery. Sprinkle in new voice over.

That’s right! It’s Rambo Uncensored!

And it’s totally the first Internet Funny video. Ever.

From the delightful folks at Madcap Pictures who have as yet made zero other things of interest.
