Mr. T - Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool! (1/ 6)

[jkgjihghb]

When you are somebody's fool you have the brain of a monkey, and when you are somebody you have the brain of a dolphin!

[sillygrl23]

lol, I just had to check this video out after seeing Linkara's "Mr. T" review just see if this was real or not. Mr. T really does have a way of making something so laughably bad worthwhile to watch. :)

[idiosyncrazy1980]

I finally made complete french subtitles (these are for the AVI version available on Mexican-Taint) :

J'ai finalemant fait des sous-titres complets en français (pour la version AVI disponible sur Mexican-Taint) ;

t i n y u r l . c o m/869rypx (remove spaces, then copy & paste) (ôter les espaces, copier & coller)

I someone wants to make another translation, here's the complete transcript, both in english and french :

t i n y u r l . c o m/7br2rke

[oscarscheepstra]

Female hair (you can read that the way you want) sure was huge on that time...

[idiosyncrazy1980]

@oscarscheepstra Mmmh, that's kinda creepy... But some sections of the video arguably are, too – like when T comments on the young girls dancing and says "Stir every breeze, Janine! It’s getting hot in here!" or "With her mustard socks, and her ketchup sash, she’s a real hot dog!", or the best one : "And she probably won’t be runnin’ alone in this versatile outfit! Perfect for stoppin’ traffic and startin’... who knows what!" (all from the "Styling" segment).

[drmoroe30]

Pure horrible gold.  Thanks for posting!

[UNDERGROUNDELECTRIC]

Oh my god this is the greatest thing ever! 

[musicfanatic6790]

That man i see in the beginning is Mr T in the days he hadnt a beard?

[westholmes2001]

@musicfanatic6790 Yes, those are pictures of Mr. T in the days when he didn't have his mohawk and gold chains.

[BEJAHICanada1]

Is this video supposed to be serious?

[iDULGENCE]

wow I remember this video trying to do the snake and break dance lol

[Sukuun]

When he said "This tree is big, tall, beautiful, and strong", I'm disappointed he didn't add, "Just like me!"

[ThisNamesClass]

I AINT PLAYIN

[hayleysneer92]

I'd let my children hang out with Mr. T, all day erryday. The best education does come from a pimp after all...

[legofan777]

Thumbs if you seen this before kilplixism!

[nocturnalpianist]

I wish i was an 80's teen.

[LadyLotus74]

@nocturnalpianist You'd have to learn how to peg your pants and wear lots and lots of hairspray. LOL :-)

[nocturnalpianist]

@nocturnalpianist

I don't care. I love the 80's!

[soundgravity]

@nocturnalpianist did you just reply to yourself?

[soundgravity]

@nocturnalpianist did you just reply to yourself?

[idiosyncrazy1980]

By the way, there are some complete high quality (con)versions out there in AVI/Xvid (mexican-taint, ~700MB) and in pristine DVD/MPEG2 (tehparadox, ~3GB).

[TheSkunkCat]

6:45

So what is she singing exactly? Sounds like;

'Why does the world have to be, in such a state of debito-ho-ho-po huuuuurting eachother!'

[idiosyncrazy1980]

@TheSkunkCat I was wondering the same : I'm french & I'm trying to translate the *whole thing* (pity me!) so as to make subtitles for my 36 y.o. brother to see this masterwork (he has a mental disease & is a fan of Mr. T – not that the two things are related, I mean, I hope so), and that's the portion I stumbled upon each time I tried. I guess I'll just use your transcription which seems to be the closest a normal human being can get to hear what's actually sung – which makes no sense anyway.

[idiosyncrazy1980]

@TheSkunkCat By the way, I tried to find english subtitles but so far had no luck. I never made subs from scratch, so it would be a tremendous help. If anyone knows something, speak now or shut up forever...

[idiosyncrazy1980]

@TheSkunkCat I tried yet *again* : the closest I can get to something which can remotely be understood as a sequence of words (let alone an actual sentence with a correct syntax and a plausible meaning) is :

« Why does the word have to be / in such a state it's a bit of hope for hurting each other ? »

If anyone can do better, you're welcome to try...

(Damn, I listened to this so many times, I dread I will dream of this girl's face in close up singing bullshit for three nights in a row!)

[luvu4eva1000]

I LOVED THIS VIDEO AS A KID!!!! now that im an adult, i notice alot of back in the day and up to date stars in this... the blk girl singing is sharice from the 80s and the lil white girl in the group is fergie, wwoooowwww. i wish i could go back in time to the 80s when the world made since!

[rojman123]

I wish I watched this when I was kid.

[EvenAllmighty]

1 person was blinded by Mr T's awesomeness and pushed the wrong button.

[TheGreenPlague]

@EvenAllmighty It was probably Mr. T.

[FrenchCherie87]

I just bought a copy of this on Amazon. I had to have it--shouldn't my future children have a chance to BE SOMEBODY?

[Hister333]

I'm trying to enjoy this. I'm liking Mr. T, but ALL of the music has to go...

[tonymontana1974]

this is a commercial for people

WHAT

this is a commercial for people who are

WHAT SPEAK UP

this is a commercial for people who are really

FOR FUCKS SAKE SPEAK UP WILL YOU

this is a commercial for people who are really shy

hahaha they should have got "hooks" out of police academy to play that first little girls part.

[jimjimthehumanbin]

thank you so much for sharing this video. In true Mr.T spirit.

[quantumdude]

These boots I wear are the boots my father used to wear.....

[SerDocter]

REACH OUT!!

[GeneralNerd]

I read the recap of this on Agony Booth. It does not do it justice. This is far more glorious than I had imagined.

[XxEvilMuffin25xX]

Thumbs up if Smosh sent you here

[henkdevries111]

1 person is somebody's fool

[MultiSinoda]

MR T .........HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!!! : )

[DrPhilMusic]

Pause at 8:08 and hide in the closet and weep.

[DrPhilMusic]

@DrPhilMusic or 8:07.

[Ajbisawsome]

Only one person could have the pure balls to dislike this video, Chuck Norris 

[ShinS30]

Be somebody's BITCH, lmao

[Thrillerlover96]

Lol I love this video xD

[fferrrddd]

You know fergie was in this wharn she was 9

[tonymontana1974]

@fferrrddd bullshit

[KitsuneAkai1]

were those people having an Avatar style tree orgy?!

[sensational1982]

Damn! The quality of music back then was so brilliant! I'm glad to have been born in 1982 but wish I were born a lil eralier though.

[yahoozle123]

0:03 OMG M.C.A. HAS A VIDEO COMPANY

[oneblackhorse]

Mr. T rocks.

[dflores012207]

Somebody's fool is the same as Somebody's bitch???

[willzyx23]

@Scrumdidilyumpchious because AT THE TIME this was a state of the art production

[nissey30]

i think i still have this on vhs.. i luved it

[Scarpsad]

This song is gonna be stuck in my head all day fool, and I ain't gettin on no plane

[batmous]

classic '80s cheese

[baseballfreak989]

aots

[vw189LBchamp]

i love this

[YoungEvelington]

pause it at 8:08

[ORUPRANKSTAZ]

This is what the world was like when I was born. Amazing. lol

[BOLSHEVIXTREME]

you know if more people paid attention to this dvd and followed mr t's example there'd be less crime in this world

[g77seven]

wow the 80's was an exciting era.. lol dam MR T was huge what happen to his career ??

[zherui]

@g77seven he became so big he pitied his career

[KommisarKowl]

This is awesome.

[Harpenboper]

If your not somebody your gonna be somebodys bitch.

[duesx187]

ROFLSAURUS!!!

[AutumnNatae]

i have this on vhs. my parents friends recorded it off of tv or whatever.

[fluffyman85]

Christian Bale was inspired by the shyness girl.

[onceigoblack]

holy frigamola, never heard of this and its awesome. look, its that girl from kids incorporated, and fergy is sitting, and shanice, and that girl from the quantum leap episode about 60s girl groups. a lot of 80s stuff had wisdom like fat albert, he-man, mr. t, gi joe, etc. and each should be made into a toy dressed up in buddha clothes and spout out their tao at the push of a button.

[3ofmykind]

Only dumb people eat drugs :P

[goddaor]

i watched this like 20 times to day

[goddaor]

This is aswome Mr.t is awsome

[Braakbal]

You can say what you want, but Mr. T has a good point.

[tedsuplex]

"Hey you! You with the teeth!"

[heyyouube11111]

mr t is a messianic figure

[Shavarnarak]

6:46

Why does the world have to be... in such a state of debito-ho-whoah huuuurting eachother?

Yeah, that's a question I ask myself sometimes...

[sensational1982]

This brings back so many good memories...don't know why these days can never come back!

[TheBatman365]

I am only 14 but I remember when my dad bought it for me when I was very little.

[ceneone2000]

I just loved this when I was a kid! Think I used to watch this everyday!

[heybaroni]

quinton rampage jackson is gona be B.A! its confirmed!

[wpgheldar]

They are making a re-make of the A-Team.

One problem. No one will ever be capable of replacing the one and only Mr. T

Rumors are that it's Ice Cube. He's big n' tough, but not enough. Not by a longshot.

[wicaco]

But his dad wasn't born here, he was born in Sacremento.

...Cool story?

[ethanhester]

cool story... tell me that one later.... when I'm having trouble sleeping.....

[boerking]

that is amazing

[castlevania78]

"and these gold chainses I wear" lol. Hilarious.

[BAATwallaby3]

I saw this vid at summer camp. I couldn't keep a straight face whenever the girl at 6:47 sang. I laughed hysterically each time she came on screen. I don't know who told her she could sing....

[Bulma1988]

@BAATwallaby3 yeah that girl...her name is Martika and she grew up to become known as the girl who did "Toy Soldiers"....obviously she can sing...

[Stay70573]

i thought the gold chains where trophies that he got as a bouncer....

[HappyDaze01]

When does Fergie appear on this?

[JohnPizzaPan]

It's the little blonde girl with a blue and pink shirt. You can see her in the foreground at 7:25.

By the way, this video is among the best movies I've ever seen. Love the old-school clothes and the songs. Was this actually popular in the 80's?

[HappyDaze01]

Aw she's cute. The Black Eyed Peas are brill.

[IfritZero]

"faymus" & "respects"

[TrueVintageRnBFan]

Why do I have the urge to wanna wear cuda cutter shorts and kool-aid socks?

[prosolist]

oh my god! this is what happends when the limlight is gone!

[phunkystar3k]

this shit happend at the peak of the limelight.

[WhatsAYak]

Yep...1984, when Mr. T not only had the A-Team, but his own Sat. morning animated series AND his own breakfast cereal!

[sensational1982]

haha...I remember the breakfast cereal so well...man i so wanna sample that now!

[WhatsAYak]

Not to mention how it was featured in the classic breakfast scene from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure! :-)

[jdfodio]

Oh my god! The song @ the end is the theme song for that show "Homeroom" that came out around '89!

[jdfodio]

Somebody please tell me at what time in the video Shanice and New Edition is. I can't watch this whole thing. It's too corny

[WhatsAYak]

Shanice appears in the second segment("Roots") while NE come later and do an accompanying song for the "Peer Presure" segment..

[LazySquirell]

PMSL! "You know me? Ofc you know me!" he sounded like he would've been offended if someone said no

[turboraider23]

my head hurts.

[Market42Fan]

How do you top this? You get Mr. T, Tammy Townsend, Ice-T doing production, 3/5 of the original Kids Incorporated cast (including Fergie), Shanice (dancer on said show, future R&B star) and New Edition w/Bobby Brown.

[Gimic300]

Hey you. You with the teeth. Come here. Come over here. That's better, now I can see ya.

[Brognor]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA It's so funny! xD It's damn hilarious xD

[hawwy1987]

4:59 yeah thanks you w@nker

[IREALAMGOD]

This is sooooooo 80's !

[bryanddd]

I love this movie. Mr.T scares kids to be confident. So funny!

[jzev]

I first learned about this from Sean Baby's review of it.

[Totalpranny]

8:08

[dinisharob]

haha. you paid thirty bucks for this, it is now worth negative 30 bucks

[mrmonty86]

THE HORROR

[londonnw6]

kunawarka

[TXTJTXJTXTJ001]

Mr T, Fergie and Martia... priceless!

[ADeformedCat]

I like the fact you paid $30 for this on eBay, and we are all watching it for free

[aceyfan]

That is true, but owning a copy of the wonderful gem is priceless

[unclefestus]

back before the youtube era, I would have paid even more than 30 bucks for a copy of this.

[karagz]

@unclefestus Still will pay 30 bucks for it

[karagz]

I wanna timetravel to 80's

[DrPhilMusic]

@aceyfan Agreed. I found this video 2 weeks ago for (Drum roll) $2.00 at a value village. I can watch it free anytime. and mr. t is always gonna be ready when i hit that rewind button.

And Xena and Zena are the hottest chicks in the world. bar none.

[karagz]

@ADeformedCat This guy should be thumbed down so much the comment gets deleted

[bubbabeatz1]

Yo, the adlibs, Mr.T is yelling out, Yo, he had to be the first one, as opposed to all the other rappers out here.

[pipi22222]

i bet it aint gold around his neck , its platinum .... lmfao

[pipi22222]

omg !!!! hell really excists !!!!!!!!

[EnergyEqualsKgxSOL2]

But I don't want to be somebody or achieve high goals :D

I like Mr T though :D I pity the fool!!!

[iladelph420]

"These gold changes??? I wear"

[dinisharob]

LOL HE REALLY USED HIS GOLD CAHINS AS A METAPHOR FOR SLAVERY. Priceless

[boanafyde]

This is pretty funny. I don't know why, but my gemotry teacher made the class watch this the other day, so I looked it up.

But this is funny as hell though.

[Mogura87]

Absolutely priceless. The epitome of irony. So rich. I laugh so hard that I cry every time I see this.

[muffemod]

Your head was irony! Mr T. has accomplished more than you can ever dream of. Quit hatin' and BE SOMEBODY!

[thedaveboyle]

this is the corniest thing ever. how come this isn't an internet meme by now?!

[MoonIMover]

Well, I suppose it's nice to finally know the story behind Mister T's bling and freaky hair.

[marcusrob02]

That's SHANICE!!!!!! WOW!!

[Trig242]

YOU HEARD ME!...I AIN'T PLAYIN!!

This is the greatest thing to ever be committed to the medium of videotape.

Thats why I wear these gold changes.

[MackTenn74]

"More giiiive, less taake cuz life is what u make it!!!" LMAO haven't seen this in YEARS! I was 10 years old when this shit came out. It's creepy now that I've seen it again--Mr. T hangin with all these children. I'd be arrested if I did that today!!! LMAO

[Phitsamay79]

i saw this 13 years ago and it still makes me double, naw fucc that, TRIPLE over LMFAO!!!! MR T ALWAYZ RULEZ!!!! 'REACH OUT'!!! 'peer pressure! peer pressure!!!!

[funkeymunkey106]

Was that really an Aladdin outfit he was wearing?

[ChicknPoo]

Did someone just order a bucket of lulz?!!!?!?

[shakeyphil]

Yes! We do all have different roots!

This lexus and my 2 million dollar apartment on Park Avenue symbolises the fact that my family was ridiculously rich!

[quartzy]

"If you want to be cool, just like me, you've got to try real hard to be somebody."

[bbqplatypus318]

"You with the teeth!"

Oh my God, that's ME!

[happyicecream1234]

hahahahah - an easy target, but still.

[dr23rdbuchanmd]

Reach out,REACH OUT!

[jimboa20]

This is the most amazing video EVER!

[XivGNP]

$30 on ebay? i lucked out dude, found it at goodwill for $1.50. essential for every collection.

[VirusFromOuterSpace]

I HAVE THIS ON VHS !!!!!!

[Frandondi]

My future children are going to see this video. In this Internet age, everyone could use a little parenting help from Mr. T. He IS authority.

[buryedalive]

i gotta say this is the type of stuff that made me think everyone was on drugs in the 80s.

[Dre7Guevara]

LOL!!!!

Most of them probably were & STILL are.

[redraiderzuke]

You see these gold chainses?

[IMxAmazingx]

[HollywoodDerek3]

[bkutzle]

Hey... Is that Rick Astley at 1:51? Sure looks like him!

[HollywoodDerek3]

At 0:00-0:09 Of This Video You'll Will See The MCA Home Video Logo W/ The Starfield Background From 1983. Allthough It's A 1984 Tape.

[ApolloBoy]

And...?

[mrtelevision]

He was just stating when this video came out,

nothing more.

[skrag2112]

This video reminds me of growing up during the 1980s and fervertly wishing it was not the 1980s.

[IslamicRageBoy]

Mr. T is a racist.

[BeefBoullionaire]

You with the teeth!

[YES72]

If anybody tries to call you square you just look em in the eye tell them you don care! the man is a hero.

[tessy0504]
