So THIS is where the famous Buzz Turner got his start?! Man, I used to jam for hours to my vinyl copy of the Buzz Turner Trio's Kind of White and that ol' classic track "That's What". Even Mike and the bots dig that album in later seasons!
@wenger1972 "If you get near a song, play it" is a Marx Brothers line. That's one of the things I love about MST3K -- they'd repurpose old punchlines or gags from decades past and breathe ironic new life into them. Plus, they was robuts!
@applebonker141: *sung to the tune of Bob Seger's "Turn The Page"*....There Buzz goes....on the road again....there he goes...upon the stage again....there he goes...playin' the star again....there he goes...turn the page....
TRUE: I once emailed Conn instruments in the late 90s and asked if this was the same company that made the Mr B Natural short. The reply came back "Yes and don't hold it against us"! LMAO XDXDXD
Hey, Mr. B! I think you've glossed over a few instruments there. She didn't even mention any kind of sax! If Mr. B is so great then why didn't he/she try to teach more kids to play more unique instruments instead of the usual line up. Hand that kid an oboe, or a bass clarinet or a soprano sax or SOMETHING!
2:11 That kids buyin' her own reeds one at a time? She's in 5th grade, they always break them all the time!
This is what Doris Day would have looked like if she was on heavy drugs in the 50s. Instead of perky and sweet, she'll become an overbearing woman who took her meds like candy.
"By the way, how are you doing in the 5th-grade band at school?"
As opposed to the 5th-grade band at the power plant? Nice work giving us awkward exposition for a character we've never seen before & will never see again.
wait.....whats the moral of this story? If youre a complete douche learn an instrument to get personality? Peter Pan and Wendy had a bastard child called Mister B Natural, that actually i'snt a Mister at all?.... im confused
First chair is generally the best player of the section- judged so by the director's discretion and a series of tests that rate the player's ability. The 'tard who doesn't practice, fudges their fingerings and can't nail the right pitch/tone gets to be laaaaast.
I was usually third chair when I played flute in school, out of seven/eight total players in my section. Of course, I was also the only one to get into All City Band one year, haha. 1st chair girl was pissed.
"I'll talk! I'll talk! Please don't hurt me!" I remember being in shock after I first watched this short-I was confused, terrified, bored and turned on at the same time
which is why composers rule the world. They can stay hidden, then when no ones looking, here's a master piece I wrote play it....... What do you mean it's too hard? Tell the bastards to practice, psh your ensemble is a joke. then you run off into the shadows
What the hell was this short about? A guy improving his image or promotional video for instruments? It has no purpose and it's so horrible! These guys needed some bail-out bonuses to sit through this s#*t!
The premise is that playing an instrument builds confidence and self-esteem, thus you should buy your kid an instrument (in particular one by Conn Ltd because the other companies make crap) so that your son will develop his creativity and stop being an awkward chronic masturbator.
The saddest thing is that these 50s educational shorts that was shown before or after the actual movie were suppose to teach kids a lesson, but in the end, they rebel against that rigid Eisenhower culture of baby boomers and communist fear society. All those kids in most of those shorts suddenly became flower power children, became beatniks, or stoned hippies. See Woodstock for more details. In the end, the 50s was nothing more than propaganda horseshit in the worse way.
