Half Man Half Biscuit-Restless Legs. Eraserhead parody

[fishfullness]

Brilliant :) Love it. Great song too - love the biccies :)

[casestudyification]

One of my favorite videos on Youtube. Great job. So....how long was it before AFI ran you out of the barn?

[baioken]

The song is upbeat, but especially the beginning with the pair in the bed is somehow painfully to watch for me. I mean, I hate when I cant sleep well and roll around in the bed restless and its to hot to sleep.

[dronespace]

Awesome work! so close to the original

[sfighter991]

So Funny!!!

[jahwob]

amazeballs nicely nicley please do more

[NebulaRasa]

I thought it was a mash-up of Eraserhead for quite a long time, until I thought Hang on, I don't recognise any of these shots. Brilliant!

Fantastic tune too.

[TBTAndrew10]

Brilliant!

[mumraaaaa]

This is a cult work of art. Well done.

[mungogubbins]

Lady Gaga has 270,000,000 hits this only has 60,000 ...must be crap!

[remc0s]

@mungogubbins

Maybe that's because Lady Gaga is for the mindless masses who love anything which they are told is good

[craigelemental]

BRILLIANT MATE....cheers!

[monkey5000]

ha ha, now seriously what is it. Its pissing me off. Big time.

[lkkjsd]

great stuff

[MrBennHundred]

this is class

[neil73]

Restless legs. Something people who are coming off heroin (and other opiates) get.

[TheRockAlmighty]

Brilliant.......wish they'd show it on telly

[drillbitch]

Absolutely brilliant :)

[CopyriteInfringement]

[mattyjl9]

[maj2306]

great video & song, well done.

[taffwob]

It shouldn't work.....but does. This is what youtube is all about. Nice One!!!

[theinfatuatedthinker]

very impressive

[KafelObrotowy]

reaaally cool ;]

[TheCheerioBandit]

HMHB is one of the best satirical rock bands ever... I love this song. I really enjoyed the video too. It took me a minute to figure out that the guy wasn't actually Jack Nance. xD

[themeekwanderer]

Wow that was so well done!!!

[SecretsOfYourSkin]

LOL that's awesome!

[Pieboy222]

Fab.

[jesusmcnixon]

NICE. Just... bloody good man.

[spoonunit03]

Lorry drivers restless legs syndrome(LDRL Syndrome) Can anyone advise?

[sanativescrub]

amazing!

[WarpxD]

You made this? Fucking great work man!

damn cool

[stetea]

Well thank you very much!

[fakelegache]

haha i just watched this for the umteenth time and I'm still lovin it! The concept of a hmhb song in the style of george formby set to a lynchian movie parody blows my mind !! It's so utterly bizarre yet it works just beautifully. many thanks to all responsible!

[Niglopte]

I sympathize with everyone who has restless legs out there - it blows!

[KendraEMoyer]

that was really damn funny

[problemchimp2]

well done, brilliant

[guwest69]

this is superb. Will have to watch Eraserhead again now as it's been a few years.

[dilcofilms]

wow the baby looks a lot grosser then the one in the movie

[welwitschia]

Very nice one! It really captures the atmosphere of Lynch's movie and doesn't feel over-acted nor fake. If it weren't for the music, I'm sure it would be as unsettling as the original.

Congrats on this one mate :)

[chedgzoy1]

wow - tremendous effort!

[MSimp2k6]

I think I've watched this at least 15 times. Amazingly done -- really enjoyed it, cheers!

[Lefaikone]

Oh this is just superb, straight to favourites. It's kinda like, Lynch meets Kaurismäki's - The Leningrad Cowboys or something. Love it, and love the actor playing Eraserhead, imitates the facial expressions just perfectly

[TrigunFan123]

Did you have to re-create the baby thing, or was it just clips from the original? I've kind of always wondered how they made it.

Anyway, brilliant!

Funny and clever and all that jazz.

[stetea]

Thanks! We had a latex baby made by some really talented prop/design students. Cheers. Ste

[gmooney]

Brilliant!

[snailer12345]

Top stuff Steve, the milky drink and Sudafed clip is my favourite.

[stetea]

Thanks! Ye thats my favourite bit, took me a while to edit that sequence....who are ye anyway

[snailer12345]

Just an hmhb fan, sorry for being over familiar by calling you Steve.

I used to see a Stevetea playing online poker quite a bit a couple of years ago, you're not him by chance are you?

[stetea]

Oh no need to apologise at all, I am very gratefull for the nice feedback. No I aint never played online poker. Thanks again.

Ste

[fakelegache]

this is wonderful stuff....funniest thing i seen in months! fan of band and movie...what a bizarre thing to see the two together in the one work!

you tube at its very best.

[stetea]

ooh thanks very much. It was great to make for the same reasons: fan of the band and one of my favourite films :-)

[SJ363]

one of the bestly made homages on youtube. I mean so many people make them, and they are mostly crap, but this one is just amazing!

[stetea]

thanks a lot :-)

[pazzensutra]

I love the guy's stupid smirk at 1:41 with the lady across the hall. Of course, then he runs off! Hilarious!

[pazzensutra]

That was freaking phenomenal. Thankyou for posting and all the hard work to make this piece of art. How'd you make "the baby"? I suppose you ain't gonna talk about that either, are ya? Wonderful. Thanks again! Great song, too.

[stetea]

Thanks for that :-) The baby was made in LIPA college in Liverpool by students who did a great job on all the sets and props in the video. (They made a cast and used latex for it)

[FlyingBanjosInc]

Absoloutly fantastic. Everything was perfect. The strange scenery, actors, fantastic. And the hair! Muahahah!! Lovely!

[stetea]

thanks for that, glad you like it

Ste

[gossman666]

lmao

[hoagyc]

[mesmiths]

One of my fav films and one of my fav bands combined. love it.

[redash2006]

[aaron1138]

What a cracker :)

[knickyknockers]

Cheers!

Whats even a better crack up is how brilliantly the video was done.

Celtic funnymen.The song rips!

[dan290975]

[stetea]

[dan290975]

[davejaydisco]

Laughing my C##k off here...I suffer from the bloody things!!

Well done Nigel, and nice video too!!

[falgee]

i used to be a big fan in the eighties, only just rediscovered them! going to see them in Edinburgh on 1st October. Class Eraserhead parody/pastiche/homage.

[nickycream]

Me, saw them im Manchester last year, i went in drag LOL, loves'em'tobits!

[jbell1285]

HMHB are Fuckin legends! Saw them in Manchester last year and now im a die hard fan! Joy Division Oven Gloves best song ever!

[stereosmiles]

This is blinding! Who knows, a HMHB video on the MTV one day?

[paranguanzon]

top stuff

[CosmicStargoat]

I love Eraserhead and this video is just so great than I can hardly type.

[analfrost]

whoever made this video is a fucking genius!

[BazzariusDe9]

What a cool video!

What album is this off?

[stetea]

Thank you for the comment. The Album its off is called Achtung Bono, great album indeed.

[BazzariusDe9]

Hey thanks alot, I'll try pick up that album. Love HMHB, what do you think of the new album?

[Fedpowell]

You know, I'd argue this was more pastiche than parody. Nyes. Nyup nyup nyup.

Classic vid by the way.

[stetea]

I did toy with pastiche but went for the humorous or imitation of a serious piece type of definition; although I see your point as the patiche thing of borrowing motifs from one or more sources does apply...Hmm

[Fedpowell]

Either way this vid rules, man, great work.

[eraserhead321]

Love it, a parody but a GOOD parody!

[stevebubba69]

one word.. methadone

[mrlowdangle]

eternal nights thrashing about like a loonspud with bone ache spazms ..great fun innit

[flyingflark]

Genius!

[TavinFan]

LOL! Lynch's genius intelligently spoofed in a great and upbeat song. Fantastic A+ !

[jonnybee64]

best thing to come out of birkenhead since the queensway tunnel!

[aleneta]

Vynikajici!!!

[davistylass]

Lynch is a genius, love the song...

[bgack]

LOL - Better without the sound though.

[Cristabel01]

That was very funny, love the hair!!

[Morbin1]

I can't stop watching this lol, excellent song and a brilliant video, especially as it pays homage to one of the best films and directors of all time :) Cheers for making my day.

[Deadite369]

Oh... my god! <3<3<3

[electricshoesbcn]

genius

[1etelfer]

[CarterSharpe]

Double thumbs up!

[d3p3ch3mod3]

BEAUTIFUL

[moomin42]

I love this song, HMHB at their best I reckon, and this video is just superb!

[lagerandwine]

Hang on in there Marcus

[marcusistic]

This is possibly one of the greatest things I have ever seen. Biscuit + Lynch.... Maybe I don't want to kill myself after all...? I love you.....X

[stetea]

ooohh, thank you!

Ste

[Stewozowski]

Very funny and slightly disturbing. Classic biscuits.

[gakman55]

awesome.

[englishcat19]

Hahaha, fcuking brilliant

[chestertouristcom]

what album is this off ?

[stetea]

Achtung Bono

[drillbitch]

Fantastic stuff, I haven't laughed so much in ages :)

[skeffling]

How on earth have they remained so funny and original (and unheard of except for the lucky few) for 20+yrs will never cease to amaze me. i personally would put them on the NHS, nobody would ever get depressed listening t the mighty Biscuits!

[MrORLY]

My mates uncles in that band :D

[metalbox69]

Well, I'm a mate of the bloke who sets up the PA.

[manfatvoodoo]

I Like

[VomitSelf7]

That was not an Eraserhead parody.

[stetea]

Well we certaintly tried

[jontheid]

Er, yes it is. Obviously. Watch the film and then see what you think.

[VomitSelf7]

internet sucks when it comes to sarcassm.

[stetea]

thats ture indeed

[VomitSelf7]

agree (no sarcasm)

[imaratsfan]

Oh! yes it was...

[maddog36]

Half Man Half Biscuit are the best band in the world. This video is obviously based on the David Lynch film "Eraserhead". The Jack Nance hairstyle is great.

[zantheum]

Amazingly funny! I had restless legs, too.

Running marathon at night or crushing the ankles may help

[nndroid]

That's absolutely amazing!

[makeupfairy]

Bloody good make-up job! ;o)

[paulsmartialarts]

So good! I did a double-take when the footage kept matching the lyrics, I initially thought this was from some obscure film...

[mishima1970]

Marvellous work.

[flyingkillercob]

This is amazing!

[chibilee03]
