The Monkees : The World's First Throw Up Band

[rrmjvand]

Funny lines and delivery!

[hannahma419]

I couldn't stop laughing after 2:37-2:46!

[slmacph]

The formula for the potion:

1/4 cup Red Bull

1/4 cup syrup of ipecac

1/8 cup candle wax

1 sparkler (lit)

1 minute of this schtick

Be a Monkee and have the nice folks in special effects put this concoction together. Warning! Not intended for actual consumption.

[mindmaze75]

Gosh! I have this on VHS somewhere, darn near wore out the tape watching it over and over again

No matter how old they are, The monkees are still funny and awesome, they'll never lose their touch.

[webgeek6]

I've never seen this before! Thanks for posting.

[GonzoGuyy]

Mike, please Please,PLEASE!!! go on tour with the other guys this summer.It's not The Monkees without you. It's good, but it's like The Beatles without John. Yeah "Real Love" and "Free As A Bird" were alright, but not quite the same. write Mike at video ranch dot com and make your pleas heard as well.

[oepolish]

how the hell did I miss this!

[mlansf]

please post ALL!!!!

[HoshiChun]

[visor109]

Mike needs to put on his wool cap.

[bassetgirl2]

You can tell Davy and Peter have matured a bit, but Mike and Micky are the same as they were =D

[comicsprof]

I have this on VHS somewhere. I should transfer it to DVD one of these days! Thanks for posting it!

[MrsMiracle78]

"and every time the monkees sing they blow!" Love it!

[QuikVidGuy]

Mike looks like Kevin Murphy.

[MsMadiMonster]

"we were wearing bell bottoms!" lmaooo(:

[TheDocfonz]

Just me or is that the same set used for Friends?

[Number1BeatleGirl]

C'est tellement amusant de les revoir! Merci!

[micmoable]

SILLY STUFF BUT I DO LIKE THE BAND--OR SHOULD I SAY LIKED SINCE THEY ARENT AROUND ANYMORE----???

[petertorksgal37]

@micmoable All 4 are still alive :)

[shielakay]

I always loved mike's crazy, eccentric sense of humour. i would have known he wrote this even without being told.

[superben790]

I love the Monkees

[Grafietstift]

ehh.. kiss?

no but Davy wants one!

[YoungSHolmesfan]

LOL. I love this. I remember seeing this a long time ago. LOVE the Monkees!

[sammict]

gay

[QuikVidGuy]

@sammict gay: happy, upbeat, or whimsical

It's just a little bit of an overstatement.

[magnoliasims]

I reaaaaaaaally wanna see this entire episode. Thanks for posting the clip!

[tootletoo]

Never even knew this exsisted...... I LOVE IT :D ...... is there anymore :)

[LiveCrueltyFreeNow]

"Kiss?" "No thanks !" Fuckin' A !!!! I never knew the Monkees did this special. This is one of the best vids I've stumbled on for a while...

[kerouactravels]

Great to read some of this, makes me feel pretty normal

[StraightTwoDVD]

balding fat and old looking...thats why i like when they keep the casket closed at funerals..i'd rather remember them as they were....

who's idea was to do this show..what garbage..waste of money..fucking dumb fuck tv execs no dick

[Poochyenagirl]

You're a really rude individual. I still love the guys. You're obviously a crude person and I'm guessing you're not that great looking. They might all be in their 60's but I bet they're still better looking than you are. :)

[StraightTwoDVD]

no i say it like it is...

i am far better looking then these old fossils with their calcified ball sacks..

trust me..after an hour in the sack with me you'd be my little love slave and i'd have a hard time getting rid of you...

you'd be licking your fingers after i finished busting a few nuts on you sugar...

ps- send me some nude pics of you thanks

[Poochyenagirl]

No--I'm guessing you're not better looking than the Monkees. In fact, that stuffed monkey on the show probably is better looking than you are and he most certainly has a better personality. Why don't you post some pics on yourself and we'll take a survey as to who is better looking? (PLEASE--NO NUDE PICS, I'd like to retain my vision.)

[IntellectualAmy]

I agree - I grew up watching these people and they are still part of my childhood. I loved them heaps, and they left behind some great songs. They are a cult in their own right - even today. How many of todays 'shitty' acts will be remembered in 44 years time - none!

[DollfaceNesmith]

I think it's great that you can see so much of Elephant Parts and Television Parts in this.

[deemilieu]

they actually were well liked by the beatles, i've read. i know mike i think hung out with the wilson brothers of the beach boys.

[deemilieu]

trivia:: steven stills of crosby stills nash and (sometimes) young auditioned for the original monkees cast-but was turned down because he was too short (5'-6" i think).

[Poochyenagirl]

No, he needed his teeth fixed and he was balding. That's why they didn't pick him. Stephen Stills was the one who recommended Peter Tork.

[AllMixedUp312]

@deemilieu and how tall is davy?? :P :P

[deemilieu]

@AllMixedUp312 very good point...someone else said he didn't get the role because he had 'bad teeth'  poor steven, he just doesn't get much respect in monkey'sville!

[Number1BeatleGirl]

@AllMixedUp312 good point......... but I think I heard somwhere that his agent or whoever got him a contract that said he would deffinatly be in it......... and I for one am glad because Davy's my fave =:]

[JoAqUiNBandit]

i love how peter is just in the background randomly naming synonims for throw up. made me laugh sooo hard!

[greg0058]

US bands had so much talent .then. The doors, Credence, Velvet Underground, Mothers of invention, Hendrix, Joplin, Greatful Dead,

[greg0058]

Not that i have anything againts Davy Jones , but why was he hired into a thrown together US band formulated to challenge the British lnvasion..

Jones had no music talent what so ever.Oh i forgot he was cute and English .

Made David Bowie change his name.

English band where kicking ass then. US bands had problems, even Beach Boys where starting to lose popularity.

Least Tolk and Nesmith could write and play music sometimes.

Mickey well he had charm for a drummer..

[Poochyenagirl]

You're an idiot. Davy Jones is very talented. He was actually a Broadway performer before he got the part on the Monkees and was nominated for a Tony Award. Not only does he have a wonderful voice but he's also very sweet and charming. Your opinion means nothing.

[IntellectualAmy]

. and he's a local lad to me, from Manchester, England.

[genericgeorge]

@greg0058 Mickey also had a great voice

[kurtb8474]

Yes, 1996. My kids were in grade school. I showed them videos the Monkees and they loved them. I thought this movie had some good bits. The special fx were top shelf.

[alanbranton1]

This film was made and broadecast in 1996 for their 30th anniversary tour and album entitled JustUs.1986 and 1987 was their 20thy anniversary tour which (for the most part)did not include Mike Nesmith.(he showed up at 1 concert).

[NESCartFan]

Pretty sure this is 1987, not 1997?

[misamisa31]

it ios actually in 96

[petertorksgal37]

nope it was 1997 :)

[genatzvalee]

I didn't expect that Monkees were still so cool & nice-looking in 1997! Especially Davy and Micky :)

[ufo5440]

Nesmith just looks really different ever since he droped the hat, got a full grown beard and gray. He needs to get the hat back. He looks too "normal". The chops he use to have were also a good killer look for him back in the day

[axt947]

This special lacks the original zanniness, the fun, the energy, even the sound effects back then were better.

It reminds me of the Robin Williams of today versus Mork. I guess you can't go home again.

Nesmith wrote excellent songs back then as well.

But as far as throwing up, sorry the latest music wins that category hands down.

[rongravy]

Well said, especially the Mork part.

[BuickGirl1986]

Not the best but Mivky was still Hot!

[posthumanhero]

i remember watching the show and being pleasantly surprised by the content.....including the music.

[BlanketMan]

I remember eagerly awaiting this and their '97 tour, and being pretty disappointed with both. Mike skipped out on the tour before they ever made it to the States, and he should've skipped out on the writing of this special. It was great seeing the four of them together, but that wore off pretty quickly, and the script/jokes were just not good (sorry, Nez!). The medley at the end, where they play four or five of their original hits, was probably the best part.

[konokitsune]

"Tazmanian kabuki?"Never would have expected it from the cool toweing Texan.

[MickysBabe123]

LOL Lately...Michael is just a bit insane xD

You must not have heard Cruisin' xD

[tommy1138]

The Monkees should have made a follow up to the movie Head. Mike Nesmith wanted them to make another film in 1975 but they couldn't all agree on it. Too bad as Head is a cult classic and better than any of the Beatles movies (and I'm a fan of both groups).

[TheCovertConverser]

Peter never lost his cuteness. ^^ What a sweeite!

[konokitsune]

Funny stuff!Why can't tv be like this anymore?

[haileyalexis709]

They actually had some good songs on their albums.

[Mycterizian]

These guys sucked and were all gay!

[PuddyKatz]

Middle-aged men acting like youngsters is actually funny!

[JoelandtheBots]

Peter's expression at 2:57 is awesome!

[Anglynn74]

Kiss? No but Davy wants one, lmfao!! I love those guys.

[tessbeckwith]

I taped this when it was originally on but the tape quality sucked. I would give anything for it to come out on dvd. It's silly but sooo fun!

[RascalsArchives]

This show was a HORRIBLY inept disaster--they deserved better

[SLCPunker101]

They did do that stay in the haunted mansion to gain the inheritances episode, it was the second episode. =)

[boycraz2]

sort of in the second ep

[Starlababy]

Could you immagine if they did a show now. They are close to seventy. They could have Mike with a walker, and Davey with a hearing aid, and Peter with Arthritis, and Mickey with a new hip joint. It would be so funny.

[wouldntyoulike2know]

HEAVY METAL KABUKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFL!!!! Oh gosh, I am a fan of the monkees and a fan of some heavy metal bands, and that comment just made me laugh so hard!

[abbyroadme]

I wish this was on DVD, it was so cool!

[elmerfusco]

Great clip.

[FoxTreatment]

I love this! If these guys got together again, did a new show, and played new songs, I would be so happy. The old formula is even better now. The jokes move faster and the charm is greater than ever. Everybody still loves The Rolling Stones, so why not keep The Monkees going?

[petertorksgal37]

"driving the porcelain bus" LOL Peter your such a cutie and very hot!!!

[UlraZILLA]

LOL the tazmanian kabookie!

[takealongline]

Cool stuff. Kiss? No thanks.

[TheEyelessGiraffes]

Does anyone know an account that has the full special? If you do, could you let me know? Thanks ahead of time.

Peace.

[soxalltheway2007]

OMG I love you Mike your adorable and a genius!!! lol

[forsythia77]

Aw, they are so cute! I totally missed this back in 1997.

[crazysingingchick]

LOL... Mike. <3

[anotherpunkrocker]

"no, but Davy wants one" LOL

it's like micky thinks it's the most natural thing in the WORLD

[8CaptainJackSparrow8]

Well... in this storyline plot world type... thing

with all that apperently happen to them

such a question would be normal.

lol

[anotherpunkrocker]

ya think so, huh?

[QuikVidGuy]

@anotherpunkrocker What, you don't randomly ask your friends for kisses? Weirdo.

[anotherpunkrocker]

@QuikVidGuy

lol maybe i should start?

[shrimpytjones]

me too! i luv there doorbell!!

[ringobabe67]

i want their doorbell! sorry, i always point out the random things! LUV IT!

[8CaptainJackSparrow8]

I still haven't seen this even though at a time I was like... be all end all monkees fan.

I kinda wanna see it lol

It's so perfect... them together lol

[SLCPunker101]

LOL, omg this is awesome! It's so funny, Peter going around talking about the different words for 'throw-up' aw, it's good to see the four of them together.

[honeyspur]

Their chemistry is unmatched!

[lilmissostentatious]

Mike -- LOL.

[Novatogal]

Never saw this special. This is cute! Hard to believe Mike actually wanted to do it cause it's not like he needed the money or anything. But it's cute anyway.

[Lonelygerbil15]

OMG, it is so good to see these 4 guys together. LOL! That craziness that they had in the 60's...they've still got it.

[NepperCat]

I like how Mike kinda hammed it up in this, he was never this goofy on the original series.

[sweetyoungthing91]

is there anyway you can put up this whole episode??? i never got to see it='( and i would really love to see it! <3

[Weirfan69]

The writing is okay IMHO, except the 'throw up' thing is a bit weird..

and I LOVE the Monkees, all of them esp. the original show, but WOW being young and adorable aided their "acting" tremendously.. (LOL)

[DRUMMERMAN77]

EPISODE 2 monkee see monkee die

[ardalsgirl]

Lol episode 186? They din't have that many episodes, it was maybe around a total of like 56 or less if I am correct, there should have been 186 and more, I love that show! It is my favorite telelvision show! :D

[arielstorm]

whats this from? Nez is in it!!

[OLDFASHIONED44]

HAHA! U GUYS ROX!

[7ShaunMichaels7]

Episode 186? LOL. Try like episode 2, Mike. LOL.

But classic Monkees anyways. The humor never gets old... never

[GimmeKitty]

A LEETLE awkward, in my opinion.

[wickedfeylady]

Gay innuendo??!?!? Peter randomly listing synoyms for "Vomit"!?!? Mike explaining Kabuki metal?!?!? This is GENIUS!!!

[KingPhantomLives]

Micky Dolenz is awesome!

[CreepyEyeFilms]

I've never seen this, want to badly, especially now that I have seen this!

[ardalsgirl]

They should air this special on television again, it's hilarious! :)

[SussySass]

oh, then you must post the whole thing!

[pawnshopsign]

Sorry, won't do that.

[KingPhantomLives]

Why?

[MAMsMom97]

Better to have most of the special than none of it. She'll get yanked off here quicker than you can say "Hey Hey!" Trust me, I went there.

[CatsEyes1717]

@pawnshopsign I never saw this. Why don't you post the rest of the episode?

[SussySass]

Gosh! This is great! They look so much older and different, it's really weird watching this right after watching an old episode. How long did this go on for?

[pawnshopsign]

This was a one time special.

[shurl07]

Why did I not know about this back in 1997?! It looks fun! Please put more clips and if you have already, I 'll look around for them.

[23literford140]

I believe the lawyer you see at :30 played the Head in Head: John Brockman ... LOL

[pawnshopsign]

That is indeed John Brockman.

[BeatleBabe]

Could you post the bit where Sarah rushes in and is pleading for Davy's help?

[rollergurlkristel]

I fkn loved seein this... yay mike nesmith

[abbyroadme]

They need to put this on DVD....it was hysterical!!
