Cop Rock - Don't Mess With My Pursuit of Happiness

[CoolerByAMile]

The dude singing looks like a miniature version of Barry Manilow. LOL !!

[GloriGrace]

The cops in my town aren'tnthis cool/musical/responsive... Can these copes come to my town? lol

[xdarkwing104x]

@badbobbyhuges

Honestly, the only thing that makes it bad is the drug kingpins that it funds.

Cut them out the equesion(sp) and their aint nuttin wrong

[11spike7]

There should be laws passed. If you participate in the creation of something like this, you will be banned from working in the entertainment industry for life. That includes film, television and radio.

If I had my way, you would be jailed for a minimum of 1 year and forced to watch 'The Chevy Chase Show' reruns 24\7!

[DSNesmith]

lmao @ the cops picking up the junkies but not the dealers.

[alcockell]

@DSNesmith Dealers had probably been busted prior to this... this was probably a mop-up operation.

[jewelofthecrowne]

@DSNesmith its a sting, many of the "dealers" are seen calling in on radios after the buy

[ebutwatcheruser100]

...and this is the reason I stopped watching television.

[WesMantooth73]

Don't mess with my pursuit of laughter.

[wickedfeylady]

This takes "terrible" to completely new levels...it cannot be defined by normal levels of what is good or bad. It's an insane, brilliant level of terrible.

[alcockell]

To quote WPC Phillipa Child off C4's Coppers - "Will I get arrested if I swear? (bored) yeah..."

"I'm not a criminal".. yeah right, you were caught with Class A drugs - you MUPPET.

[alcockell]

Same feel as classic Clapton...

FOX or Universal - whoever owns this - how about selling it to Channel 4? I'm sure it would work alongside Glee...

[inferno232]

You know, I really, REALLY hope the drug dealers were undercover cops. If not, that means that the cops were allowing dangerous drug dealers to rack up profits while they just busted their customers. I wonder if there wasn't some sort of deal involved there...

Then again, I'm trying to analyze COP ROCK.....

[woowooexpress]

If I ever saw someone in a Mercedes getting pulled over after a "hand off" with a guy in a track suit, I'd stop to point and laugh.

[utube9000]

I'm a songwriter - and I can say with absolute confidence, this is a REALLY, REALLY BAD song.

[blyadko]

OMG creepy show shit

[s2h53]

Where is Charlie Sheen in this song??

[cameljoe212]

My god this is like shit on a sidewalk made of shit on a world composed entirely of shit. Im surprised society back in 1990 didn't rip itself apart in response to the airing of this show. I am screaming for blood after one minute and thirty two seconds of this trite garbage.

[greengringo2003]

Great song, great show.  Negative commenters here have all their taste in their mouths. They can go back to crap like Lady G.

[DrMotorDude]

Thanks.. NOW I remember why it was canceled.

[Diskoboy1974]

Yeah... I don't understand all the hate for this show - Glee is far worse than this....

[manwulf]

@Diskoboy1974 i totally agree.

[madsketcher]

Viewing this video kills more brain cells than an ounce of crack

[madsketcher]

I love how all of the drug dealers are black

[DrMotorDude]

@madsketcher art imitating life

[snarlingrabiddog5150]

@DrMotorDude dung imitating a police situation but COPS isn't much better, lol. Still funny though. As for the boxed set, they have it right next to the kitty litter at Wal-Mart....its a VERY small box because it was cancelled due to adverse reactions of the viewers pooping their pants when this drivel was thrust at us, hehe. Keep rollin the uploads though....if someone likes it great......no accounting for taste, lol.

[DrMotorDude]

@snarlingrabiddog5150 I'll give COPS credit where it's due - it's America's own cinema verite, the WORLD ORIGINAL reality TV. Cop Rock was just goofy. It might have been better if it had some self deprecating humor.

[snarlingrabiddog5150]

@DrMotorDude Gotta agree with ya there! lol.

[utube9000]

@madsketcher Just like in real life!

[madsketcher]

@utube9000 Yes. They're all black in "real life". It's fun.

[madsketcher]

Oh my GOD. My eyes just fell out of my head

[vaj99]

THis show gives police musicals a bad name!

[CoolerByAMile]

Yah you're easy to spot.......with that god awlful hair style !! Do you have hair plugs or the worst calloc known to man.

[lorimneal]

miami vice meets hillstreet blues meets hair....love it!!!!

[nickv999]

"i need my beemer back!" --lmao

[kelsmart]

If I wasn't just one year old when this series began, I would have been an avid fan.

It's so absurdly amazing, how in the hell did this actually exist?!

I love the internet for bringing this sort of stuff to my attention.

[joealanouf]

is that robert downy jr?

[XanatharEye]

waht....... is this? i just smoked some hash... and i think i'm freaking out. time is going by really really really slow and this show ... i dont think they're supposed to be singing.....im freaking out

[heedlix]

If Glee were more like this show, in that the performers are singing live instead of lip syncing to a perfected studio recording, maybe I'd be more into it. Bring back Cop Rock!!! :)

[dave225]

oh, but Glee is GREAAAT, isn't it!?

[scryerofold]

Thank God this show got taken off the air. It stunk something terrible. 

[bigbandit]

Now that Lost is done, they need to bring back this show. EVERYBODY will watch it !!!

[bigbandit]

Now that Lost is gone, they need to bring this show back. Everybody will watch it!!!

[Pondebong]

is this really something to start breaking out singing about

[presumptuous]

I like how all the drug dealers are black

[XanatharEye]

@presumptuous Read Freakonomics. Everything about this is 100% true.

[loweryjeremy0008]

GAY

[SilentGunman]

This show was awesome, I don't care what anyone says.

[rlb918]

I only saw this show once or twice (which was...what...about fifty percent of the time). I wasn't ready for singing cops and I'm still not but I do like this song.

Does anyone know the lyrics to it? I can't make out the words right BEFORE "...but that's not a crime..."

[eckythump427]

the words before "that's not a crime" are "i'm upwardly mobile"

[rlb918]

THANK you!! Now that makes a lot more sense than "I am a poor hobo" :P

You've solved a long time mystery for me. For almost every other song that I've wondered what a phrase says, I've been able to find the lyrics on the Internet. I was never able to find the lyrics to this song.

[pawpawaul]

@rlb918 I think the words before "but that's not a crime" are "I'm upwardly mobile"

[rlb918]

@pawpawaul Okay thanks!

[Anynom]

I still cannot believe the guy who gave us Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue did this too.

[rlb918]

@Anynom Yeah, but you've gotta give him credit for having the nads to try something radically different.

[aburtonmatt]

This was 1990, right? man, we didn't kill the 1980's NEARLY fast enough

[madsketcher]

@aburtonmatt It was a transitional period

[stumanchoo]

still dig this show, i remember loving it. it was on thursadys or tuesdays?

[alcockell]

@stumanchoo Wednesdays on BBC1 after the 9pm news IIRC...



[alexforever411]

Ah, Cop Rock. Such was the subject of many a joke when this came out.

Man, this is messed up.

[qubixrube]

its un americaaaan mmmmmm

[XmasFLIX]

pre-glee

[pwnyoubitch]

It's not just a Naked City ripoff like every other cop show out there.

[heisgreatly2bpraised]

Please somebody bring this crap back. I need a good laugh

[TysonByrnes]

This show was just too ahead of it's time

[aburtonmatt]

yeah, maybe it would be popular in like 2048 or something when law enforcement has less lethal force and more shitty synthpop

[saintjakk]

wow

[Shalomi]

"it's not like I'm homeless..."

[shadycargo1977]

omglol

[TheLastBrainLeft]

I can't imagine how Bochco managed to convince well paid network executives when he pitches this awful show concept that it would be a good idea. Yeesh!

[hardtechnoboy]

Wow... this is like Hill Street Blues meets Moulin Rouge!

[ikillomega]

I think I just died a little on the inside. I'm glad this train-wreck didn't last. Shame on you Bochco!

[singindrew]

What cracks me up is they are arresting all the buyers but what about the people selling the drugs???

[badbobbyhughes]

it's probably to be accurate. in real life, the sellers were busted weeks ago and being used by police to nail these otherwise upstanding & successful citizens, just to get a few months taken off a 10-20 year bid

[jewelofthecrowne]

@badbobbyhughes "otherwise upstanding citizens"  theyre coke heads.

[badbobbyhughes]

@jewelofthecrowne let me start off by making it clear im not suggesting anyone take coke, it's a disgusting drug. but if you can get it without harming anyone or ripping anyone off, then what's the problem? how does some rich millionaire tycoon in bel-air snorting a line at a party possibly affect your own life?

[crysjumar1]

they are undercover cops...did you see the first guy talk into his collar and the cops in the car picked up.

[imaliberal]

WHERE can I get the boxed set :-))))

[mrmonty86]

I LIKE THIS SONG

[WesMantooth73]

This is the kind of show that, even if you are watching it alone, you are still extremely embarrassed. This show was God awful.

[alcockell]

@WesMantooth73 And therefore earns Guilty Pleasure status.

[GloriGrace]

@WesMantooth73 But you can't help but watch it. ... I'm guilty

[sooperdon]

What a good idea, buying cocaine with a marked police car right across the street.

I honestly don't remember this show at all. It looks really stupid.

[TJSpyke]

It only lasted for 11 episodes.

[GoddessProductions]

love love love love this show... that's right... i admit it!

[nondor13]

Another favorite.

I can't stop the cop rock.

I need help.

[DoctorrDread]

Cop Rock was one of the greatest shows ever. So outrageous now, and imagine how outrageous it was back then. I remeber, I laughed at the concept for the first half of the first episode, and then I got hooked on the quality of the songs. By the end of the first episode, I was a fan.

[daleboy72]

What a ludicrous concept for a show. What the hell where they thinking?

[LeslieSlape]

I was a huge fan of this show when it was on. How cool to find it on YouTube! EVERYTHING is on YouTube!

[Adelaidey]

Cop Rock is nothing short of The Bomb.

[ptjlmbaldwin]

ow...my...head...
