[tavymcsavy]

I prefer zeppelins.

[TBoneTony]

I love these I'm on a blimp/boat parodies. :d

[xmiostrx]

gay -.- can't even compare to im on a boat.

[FantasyAdventuress]

Pause it anywhere between 0:30 and 0:34 for a perfect shot of The Contraptions!

[sympathy3k21]

everyone involved in this video needs to be euthanized

[16BBWlover]

Who cares who came first, they're both brilliant.

[GrandFloggy444]

Hmm... LK's is better... But this is still 400x better than I could do it xD

Good job, nice lyrics and a good idea.

[CplYakob]

I say-a most fantastical piece of the spoken arts celebrating a most practical method of transportation! Raaather good!

[betenoireindustries]

FIRST HE WAS A MAN

nice, you guys. trogdor ftmfw.

[titanosoar1998]

thumbs up 4 yu gi oh blimp

[i0cean]

This.Is.Epic.

[ChrisLikesAppleJuice]

Well it's really funny, your act is very good :D But you do realise, that there already is one "I'm on a blimp" parody from LittleKuriboh that was created earlier?

[DragonConTV]

@ChrisLikesAppleJuice Thanks. If you see previous comments this question has been answered. The videos are very different, even if the names are the same. We did a steampunk video with live actors, they did a Yu-Gi-Oh video with clips from the TV show. We wrote this steampunk spoof before LittleKuriboh did their video, but couldn't get it produced before theirs (lots of video to shoot, finding people for the music, etc.).

[ChrisLikesAppleJuice]

@DragonConTV Oh! Sorry about that then! Didn't know that! Well I guess it's a coincidence then, both of the videos are funny as hell, though!:D

[TasteOfTorment]

I looove The Extraordinary Contraptions.

Like, more than what's normal.

[RoderichEdelstein727]

pokemon music???

[DuchessAliana]

You WIN. That is all.

[NekuHatsune]

teehee~

[SirDennisBerry]

Steampunk Fett... nice

[ZeroWires13]

I more then like this, I love this. X3

[DragonConTV]

'vid wyo'? Damn you auto correct!

[DragonConTV]

filipeflower03: no, we wrote this one back in 2009 without knowing about LittleKuriboh's vid wyo

[filipeflower03]

You took the title from LittleKuriboh's video, I presume ?

[HotShotRobert]

@filipeflower03 yes and it was better

[MissSelfdestruct1999]

AND STEAMPUNK FETT!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!

[Brucer420]

Hindenburg. LOL!

[Mojinr]

Makes me wish I could back to D*Con now...On a Blimp.

[kairi3177]

@Mojinr Tell me about it!

[runeforger66]

oh hell yes. this is awesome!

[WeaveZine]

That is so frickin funny!!! Well done, you.

[atratusnihil]

Loved it, although I was a little put off by only seeing one actual blimp (at 2:29). All the other airships were semi-rigid or rigid dirigibles/Zepplins.

-100 geek points for not knowing the difference.

[0000infinity0000]

Words alone are not sufficient to describe how epic this is.

[Hydrogelic]

'We drinking earl grey, hot , with the crum-pits'

[kairi3177]

Got to see the Extraordinary Contraptions at the 2010 Con. God I love Steampunk..

[CaptKujata]

O_O....*SNERK......* YAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHHAAHAH! XD WIIIINNN

[tanikwish]

Besides the outtake of the dude running into a set light, "I led an air raid!" was *hilarious*. I laughed at D*Con and I still giggle now. WTG guys.

[52weekcouchsurf]

@tanikwish It was a borrowed top hat and we didn't cut holes in it so I could see. So... um... (nervous laugh) I kinda didn't realize how close I was to the lights. As soon as I ran into it, I stuck my arms out to catch it if it fell, and the whole time I was waiting for the light to land on me and catch fire (lol). But that was such a fun shoot. I was happy I made it to the blooper reel and was in it as much as I was. Thanks DCTV for letting me be a part of this fun video!

[tanikwish]

@52weekcouchsurf - HAHAH nice! I was just watching this again the other night and died laughing yet again. That was too funny, man. Thanks for replying with the inside story. Very glad you didn't catch fire. :)

[spoonyspork]

RE: Outtakes at the end --- I would like to see all of 'Steampunk'd Trogdor'. Thanks.

[SethHisoka]

...Fail.

[HotShotRobert]

you guys are ripping off LittleKuriboh who made im on a blimp first

[lordxeras]

I wonder...how can you make a parody of a parody?........

[LeapingLeptons42]

LMAO!! Lyrics please!!

[RoselTea]

LOL!!

[TARDISstowaway]

I laughed SO HARD! This is utterly brilliant.

[pantheress28]

As I said to the friend that posted the link to this on Facebook: "OH MY GOD. THIS IS THE MOST GREATEST THING ON THE INTERNET EVAR!" Well done! Jolly good job! I had to listen to it twice, cuz the first time, I was laughing so hard I couldn't hear the words. Kudos!

[Peacedove2000]

Bloody brilliant work, fellas.

[NightbringerMinion]

Masterful.

[disconnecktie51]

This...I don't even have any words. It was just meh.

[thevfb]

this is so unfunny i had to click out, I got such douchechills.

[wesw818]

lol fett taking it doggy

[atradominadono]

Blimp > boat.

That is all.

[CL0N3PA7R0L]

Did they actually use autotune at any point in this? It's not like it would have been hard... smh

[DragonConTV]

@CL0N3PA7R0L Yeah, but we're autotuning someone who can actually sing, so it's not as noticeable :)

[CL0N3PA7R0L]

@DragonConTV I think you should have gone a bit heavier with it and made it sound more like the original. Just my opinion though.

[dutrank]

@CL0N3PA7R0L A parody isn't supposed to sound exactly like the original. That's why it's called a "parody" and not a "cover"

[CL0N3PA7R0L]

@dutrank I don't think you know what those words mean...

[dutrank]

@CL0N3PA7R0L You obviously don't.

[CL0N3PA7R0L]

@dutrank

Cover Version

noun – a recording of a song by a singer, instrumentalist, or group other than the original performer or composer

Parody

noun – a burlesque imitation of a musical composition.

verb – to imitate (a composition, author, etc.) for purposes of ridicule or satire.

The parody exists in the humorous changes. It's not the same song so it's not a cover. Using autotune to make it sound closer to the original wouldn't make it a cover. You don't know how to use those words.

[dutrank]

@CL0N3PA7R0L Are you stupid? This video is a PARODY. Thank you for showing that YOU don't know how to use those words.

[CL0N3PA7R0L]

@dutrank I never said it wasn't a parody.

You said "A parody isn't supposed to sound exactly like the original. That's why it's called a "parody" and not a "cover"".

That's not true, SInce a parody is a humorous imitation of a song, it would stand to reason that it must sound like the song it's imitating.

In contrast a cover won't always sound like the original. A cover can be performed on different instruments and thus sound completely different from the original song.

[dariusorleans]

@DragonConTV No, you're just using a bad plug-in. Or a free one of some sort. It definitely needed to get beefed up in there. This was a ok attempt. But I think this songs a few revisions away from being really good. Did you guys have to rush this out the door for dragon con?

[MrWorf510]

They used autotune a little on the Fett character. It wasn't a lot but you could hear it starting at the 3:28 mark.

[thelovepig]

Hey, it's pronounced "fuck" not "frak".

[DragonConTV]

@thelovepig Tell that to the BSG people

[lordxeras]

@thelovepig it's steam punk! they can pronounce it anyway they damn well please!!

[CanadianISP]

This was a *brilliant* parody :) As for the 'kid-friendly' - Knowing the original version is what makes this one so funny :)

Excellent job!

[MoltenPlastic]

Is there anything nerdier than Steampunk?

As its a genre so obscure that the mainstream doesn't even know of its existence, I reckon the anwer is no.

[pantheress28]

@MoltenPlastic It's not a genre, it's a sub-culture. And it's actually a LOT more mainstream than you'd think. There are steampunks all over the place that have never heard of "cosplay" or "DragonCon" or any other number of "nerdy" things. I have several friends that were "steampunk" before it was even thought of to be a sub-culture. And way before it was so trendy. Though it has definitely found a very comfortable and flourishing home with the nerds. :)

[wmofskye]

I actually like this better than "I'm On A Boat"...of course, I'm strange like that I guess.

[djpep]

lol 

[jlware5000]

Truly badass… Gotta love it… no really, you do. Tell'em Fett!

[teranceofathens]

Awesome, I just laughed my arse off! I've had the pleasure of getting to play some shows with the Extraordinary Contraptions, really good people, great music, lot's of fun and this video just made my day.

[SMEEON]

Steampunk Professor Xavier approves of this parody!

guys... amazing work! I want to see more.

[mesponsler]

I saw them perform this live at the DragonCon Time Traveler's Ball on Sunday night. They kicked some serious ass. Pardon me while I go to their website to order their albums...

[mangakaserena]

fantastic~!

[rbleader]

Bit weak... I'm sure you guys had to make it "kid friendly", but...

[DragonConTV]

@rbleader Well, I don't think you have to swear to be funny. But we did make it dirty for Victorian ears.

The words "dollymop," "poppycock" and "balderdash" would have been completely unacceptable in the 1800's ... and the Brits still consider "bloody" to be reserved for impolite conversation.

Sorry you didn't like it, but we can't make everyone happy. There's over an hour of new material for DCTV 2010, so I hope something in there does it for you.

[rbleader]

@DragonConTV Nah, it was okay, it's just that this one didn't had that impact, unlike the first one. Perhaps it's because I'm trying to compare it to the original video. Anyway, you guys did a good job, it's just that this one had something to be compared against (i.e., the original video).

[blissaru]

@DragonConTV They're just jerks!

Let's see them come up with something as awesome as this!

YOU GUYS RULE!!

[lancer081292]

@DragonConTV the song is great, there were many ways you could have ruined it but you didnt.

[GothKittenGoddess]

Yey!!!!  I'm amused.

[GothKittenGoddess]

Yey!!!! This amused me alot when I saw it on Dragon*con TV.

[GothKittenGoddess]

I'm on a blimp yo!

[wonderwendie]

Freakin' awesome!!!

[gothgirl16]

awesome!

[empooress]

Brilliant!

[WyldKyss]

I was very amused to see this on dragon*con tv :)

[vanzetti1927]

i chuckled.

[virasabena]

Wonderful.
