  • This rocks man! You should go for it! Do more of these! Different openings for different shows from the 70s and 80s that never really existed! You rock!

  • You guys should do a full episode! :-D

  • Lol...gotta love the cheesy 80s synth.

  • Why didn't you make episodes of this instead of Erf? Would it cost too much because it's a period piece?

  • The period stuff can be challenging. But this was just a one-off skit. I rented a pump to drain my pool, and it sprayed water everywhere, so instead of complaining to the store, I decided to make a video.

  • WOW! I definitely see a lot of potential here and can't wait to see what you guys will get out of it. Love the 80's theme too. Something you can have a ball with...

  • I think you need a season 4 intro with the addition of a sniveling little brat...because all 80's series added one of those when ratings fell flat. ;) I love this faux sitcom!

  • Haha! It's true. I remember being so mad when the baby on 'Family Ties' went from an infant to six years old or something between seasons.

  • perfect - right down to the sassy black neighbor!

  • The song is "Silver Spoons" meets "Perfect Strangers", sung by a woman. It's absolutely note perfect. Amazing.

  • If its supposed to be an 80s sitcom it sure is early 80s!

  • As a professional pool boy, I say that a sitcom about a pool cleaner would be probably the best show on tv...Blast LOST and 24 out of the water..Just sayin..

    Maybe someone wil lmake a real one???

  • a bit too much of the guy and the pool hose. needs to jump arund a bit more with other characters.

    but i have to say, as a licensed 80s freak, this made me giggle.

  • Very fun. I'd watch a season of this.

  • agreed

  • will you give me tips on losing weight, I can't stop eating! Type 007closer in the search.

  • drink a lot of water; especially before you eat; don't shop with an empty stomach; don't combine fat with bread or pasta or potatoes.

  • wtf...

  • Enjoyed the song and the hose bit at the end.

  • didnt get it...

  • It's only funny to the people who actually remember the 80's. For the rest of you guys... your just to young to understand.

  • no comment{totally sucked}

  • whoever said its lame , eat a dick that shit was funny

  • q forroooooooooooooooooooo

  • That was a waste of my time. It wasn't even funny. I could have been ignoring people for that minute 19.

  • Very funny i was laughing my ass off

  • Not funny

  • Like it!

  • Lol. Hilarious.

  • A few years ago, there was a girl that was killed and then was buried. She then came back to life and fucking pwned some noobs. Now that you have read this you a cursed to be pwned by her next Friday. Only if you post this to at least 2 more videos are you cured from the wicked curse.

  • That was fucking lame, yet another waste of my time...

  • nice

  • nice

  • Lol that was pretty funny

  • demasiado Yanqui...... no?

  • q merda americana esta.

  • cool

  • yeah very cool..

  • Oh, this was just too funny!

  • if u want 2 watch somthin funny or just need a good laugh watch the life of mumpkins cheers

  • Haha...so funny and true to the 80s.

  • lost. eu/54afc has more stuff like this. check it out. make sure to sign up.

  • I predict that in series 3, episode 4 Arnold and Willis will make a guest appearance when they come to visit Pearl, ... with hilarious consequences.

  • Ha! That's so weird - the actress playing Pearl is actually Betty Bridges, mother of Todd Bridges.

  • XD Nice. ^^

  • Yes! Someone finally makes fun of the 80s!

  • Wow, someone really needs to do an 80's show just like this with all the cliches etc. etc. I think it would fukin GREAT!

  • the font, the bad quality, the music: perfection! especially that last shot with the cheesy cheesy zoom in. love it!

  • excellent! perfect satire! if you ever need an actor... well, fuckin call my agent.

  • But who was the lovable but goofy pool cleaner?

  • Jeff Sass. He also plays Owen, the Population Control worker in "God, Inc".

  • Is it just me or is the singer the same person who played Piper in God Inc? Either way it sounds great, can't wait for the series.

  • bad news for benphase, and good news for xSkitZx and doombladex- this is really just a one-off video I did after the pool pump I rented spouted leaks. But thanks to those who enjoyed it!

  • The singer is actually Rena Desai, as it says in the credits (some of the credits are fake, some real). The music is by Adam Blau, who wrote the theme song for "God, Inc". Piper is played by Elizabeth Pan.

  • ...i cant say im gonna enjoy this but im holding out untill i see an episode, i have little faith it will be up to god inc. though. excuse the pun

  • Not funny, what's up w/ God Inc.? I mean other than the post about it. That was WAY better.

  • doug montgomery with a tennis racket-- priceless.

  • hahaha hilarity ensued.

    Did you write that sill lil song?

  • That was Adam Blau (same composer as "God, Inc"). I told him I wanted a theme song that was inappropriately uplifting, ala "Perfect Strangers"...

  • That was funny!

    You had the perfect cheesy music and even use the same 80's sitcom font for the titles!

  • you couldn't pay me enough to watch this tv show

  • If you want to see something hilarious type in ghost hunters 2007 or bigfoot spotted

  • "Bringing Families Home"

    You kinda know what the content will be and start flipping thru the guide/channels.

  • Funny stuff.

  • Haha, you even had the sassy old black woman! Perfect.

  • haha i lyk the song... gives a nice effect to this vid

  • Honestly... that could be replaced with any opening from a sitcom back then and I doubt anyone would notice for quite a while.

  • very well done

  • Wow this is nice and seems real.

  • seems real isn't saying much, it WAS the 80's afterall

  • Lol, @(^-^)@

  • very cute!

  • *snort* hahahah

  • Wow! Very convincing! =^.^=

  • LOLOLOL Pearl!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAA i've always been partial to jackee...

  • lol this seems really cool, i cant wait...

  • is this serious or a parody?

  • Pay attention to the title that has the word "fake" in it. It's kind of important in answering your question.

  • im to intelligent to read - ma bad.

  • that's actually francis stokes, isn't he?

  • The guy in the red shirt is so cute!!!

  • lmao... yaaay!!! reminds me so much of three's company.... is this going to be your new series or were you guys just bored?

  • haha -just bored would be more accurate. Still filming the new series, "ERF!"

  • what did happen to God inc?

  • I'll post an update on what's happening with "God, Inc" soon...

  • So....the God Inc series is over?!!

  • Very cheesy, Very funny

  • Well thought up, well acted, and well funny.

  • So this is the sort of stuff that just pops out of your head? Awesome! And naming the black woman "Pearl" was bang on target!

  • lol

  • I lookward for more thank-you!!!

  • now THAT is the definition of cheesy.

  • lol well done

  • that is so unbeleivably accurate i dont have words to describe it!

  • Awesome! I'm totally proud to have grown up in the 80s. The 80s rule!

  • that was great. perfect rip-off! 5 stars

  • Oh no!! I don't want to go down memory lane! =P

  • Damn. That brought back some memories. It made me feel old. But also warm and cuddly and like the 5 year old girl I used to be watching My Two Dads and The Facts of Life.

  • me too!

  • Hahaha. Oh, the '80s. Thank GodInc. for nostalgia and advancement in technology and script-writing.

    Wait, what am I talking about? I live in the generation of the OC and One Tree Hill.

  • lawlz.

  • haha great song! :D

  • he put a dog on the hose to try to stop the leak. wow, that worked <--SARCASM

  • just no

  • aahahahaha

  • Nice!!

  • HAHAHA i love crappy 80's shows! This is great!

  • That was the most awesome intro I've seen in a loooong while.

  • Glad to see that you are back!!:-))Waiting for the real thing...hope it comes soon!!!

  • Hi. Freakin'. Larious.

  • Corny intro song...dufus main character...token black...sign me up!

  • Thanks for reminding me why I stopped watching 80's sitcoms, Frank. It's good to be reminded. Nice mustache, by the way. It's a good look for you.

  • hmmm...

    I'm really not so sure at the moment. I guess maybe if I see a little bit more of the show, I'd make my descion.

    But just off of that, I can't really tell if I'd like it or not. :\

    But just off of that, I like God Inc. much better.

    [I'd really like to see more of them btw!]

  • I don't think it's going to be a show. I think it's going to be a bunch of introductions to shows that, thankfully, will never exist. It's fairly amusing.

  • ehh. no... i love god inc. but this looks bad real bad. i'm not a 80 fan.

  • lol, can't wait to see it.

  • what the eff?

  • can we have a clue about what erf is about?

  • yes, very soon - I filmed a trailer for it, just haven't posted it yet...

  • Im really looking forward for this, i know it will be good :)

  • that's funny - I wasn't actually planning to do a whole series out of this, just doing a send-up of those goofy 80's credit sequences. the new series, "ERF!" is still shooting right now...

  • stupid, but i laffed. that guy with the tennis raquet. classic.

  • So how did all those 90's cars get into the opening sequence? Time machine?

  • your comment makes way2muchsense...

  • A show about a failing pool guy who bumbles all the time? With probable 80's references?

    Sign me up! :D

  • Are you making a new series or something?

  • Yeah, but this isn't it. It's called "ERF!" Still shooting right now...

  • Silly. I just opened my pool recently so I liked this.

  • actually ..can i come and perform in your vids? :)...i too have absolutly no talent....lol...just kidding :)..not about the talent part..about your actors...sigh...ok..never mind...sorry

  • but... but I AM an actor in this... and I thought I was so brilliant! It was the tennis racket, right? I know, I know, I went too far...
