ARCHIE ANDREWS... DEAD: A SATIRE and PARODY!

[Filmation77]

cute parody...but i what i would've done is i would've had Midge Klump accidentally kill Archie in a fit of rage because she went too far with Reggie one night And Archie was gonna rat on Reggie and Midge to Moose cause Archie being the upstanding Charater that he is,he wouldn't let Moose be in pain of Not Knowing who Midge was Catting around with...but that's just me!

Nice one! This is hilarious and thanks for making it!

[spikeriley]

Death as a gimmick to get media attention and temporary sales boost is stupid, and they'll keep doing it as long as it sells well. This year, DC killed Batman (the Bruce Wayne version, who was revived) and now Marvel is killing Spidey.

This is overkill, and it needs to stop.

i cant believe this was removed!!!!!!!!1

[MattHawes]

Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!

[Doodlez83]

Actually, they did kill off Lydia Wyndham, but she was a minor character anyway.

[MattHawes]

LOL! Yeah, Kevin's big on acting with puppets and I swear in every video just like him. You're funny, you silly guy.

-- Matt

[mercurio80]

im silly? ur a grown ass man bitching about comics.

[MattHawes]

And if you didn't lie about your age on your profile page, you are a 27 year-old man checking out videos about Archie Comics and bitching about another guy making said video. LOL!! You even felt so passionate about the matter you returned a month after leaving a comment to respond to my reply. I own you! LOL!!!

-- Matt

[karajr6543]

LOLZ!!! I have 289 Archie Comics and I love a good bit of dark humor/parodies. You have a great talent, and that was SO FREAKING HILARIOUS!!! Keep it up!

[MattHawes]

Thank you very much!

-- Matt

[lazyfreddy]

i think i know why archie comics accused you.

they were planing to have archie or some one die then have them come back, but you got to it first. the video is still great. -Fred

[MattHawes]

THey haven't killed anyone yet, but not long after this situation, Archie did introduce a new version of Jughead. LOL! Thanks, Fred!

-- Matt

[MattHawes]

Thanks! I appreciate your comments!

-- Matt

[lazyfreddy]

thanks matt for posting this video. i think archie comics are the best comics out thier.

[MattHawes]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

-- Matt

[slangword]

That is what all the fuss was about?

I can't see why you'd let the Archie Comics response get your blood pressure up about this.

[MattHawes]

Archie Comics wrongly accused me of copyright infringement. The publisher had YouTube remove my original version of the parody/satire. I believed that to be wrong, and I challenged it. I always believe in fighting for my rights. Thanks for commenting!

-- Matt

[KJ81]

People here say you are a good person.

If so, then you'll have no problems apologising to Gerry Turnbull for the false accusations and lies you posted about him.

So when and where can we expect the apology?

[truthhopelove]

OK, I know this is a parody, BUT........ if they did kill Archie, I have to say that Dilton, the brain in Riverdale, would make some sort of machine and revove Archie.

[karajr6543]

Yea... in recent years, it has been noted that he has cloned some of his buddies :-)

[MattHawes]

Larry, I greatly appreciate your encouragement and support. It is greatly appreciated.

-- Matt

[ShadeofJeremy]

Yay! It's back up. Congrats Matt. Archie while making some comics I really like does tend to do some mixed up things. I remembered something else, didn't they once make some parents take down their daughter Veronica's web-site because,well Veronica is one of their characters?

[MattHawes]

I hadn't heard of that. Very interseting. I will look into that story. Thanks, Jeremy!

-- Matt

[ShadeofJeremy]

I remember hearing something about it a couple years ago. I don't know what ever came of it myself.

[JamesMatthess]

You did a GREAT job!!!

[MattHawes]

Thank you very much, James!

-- Matt

[shannonhalstead0]

this video reminds me that i have all the death of superman comis in my attic

[JessNukethedangthing]

You got neutered.

[MattHawes]

Nope. The entire parody is intact. I just put the disclaimer at the beginning. My video is on YouTube, so you're wrong, it would seem.

-- Matt

[hononwa]

You should be commended for your work. Those spoof covers looked real enough to be believed, but were over the top.

[MattHawes]

Thank you.

-- Matt

[dorotwhy]

So sad that you had to EXPLAIN so CLEARLY that this was satire. EGAD! what has become of the 'sense of humor'. ( "Sense of Humor Has Died", the title of your next news obituary?)

[MattHawes]

I think that Archie Comic Publications, Incorporated must believe that they own "sense of humor," I guess. LOL! Thanks for the comment and support!

-- Matt

[dorotwhy]

I wonder if "All in the Family" was originally titled "Archie" but they were forced to change the name by the ARCHIE POWERS THAT BE? Hmmmm Big Brother Archie IS WATCHING.

[MattHawes]

We are talking about the same company that sued "Mad" magazine over a parody called "Starchie," so anything is possible.

-- Matt

[dorotwhy]

Wow! so you up there with the BIG guys.

[Pramatus]

Well Dianna just stole my thunder. Oh well, YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!! Great Video Matt.

-Michael

[MattHawes]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Michael! Thanks! Yayy!!

-- Matt

[diannatynes]

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!! GReat Video. Fight the Power!!

[MattHawes]

Thank you very much, Dianna! Yayyy!!!

-- Matt

[InvaderGill]

yay! the video is back!!

[MattHawes]

Yep! Thanks, Ryan!

-- Matt

[eliot508]

Archie Comics, if you're reading this I want you to know that I respect the decision Matt and you reached, but it was clear that his original video was a satire in the first place.

I'm disappointed with your original action of asking Youtube to take his video down. And, I'm disappointed with you now for suggesting he reclarify himself on your behalf. Legally, he needn't of had to have done that.

Godwilling, Riverdale & the rest of us will survive the outcome of these events.

[MattHawes]

Thank you for your support, David. I really appreciate it!

-- Matt

[kateam1975]

^_^ you won:)

[MattHawes]

Thankfully, Archie Comics was reasonable and only really asked me to make it clear that the video was a satire and a parody, and that the publisher would never kill its characters for a marketing gimmick. Thanks, Kate!

-- Matt

[katylied66]

Happy is just too cute!

Dianne

[MattHawes]

Aw, you're gonna make him blush. ;-)

Thanks, Dianne!

-- Matt

[ct2004]

They gave you your video back! YEAH!!!!!!!!

[MattHawes]

Yep! I agreed to add the intro at the beginning explaining very clearly that this was a parody, and that Archie Comics would never kill Archie. Otherwise, the parody is intact. Thanks for commenting!
