[SuperMangaBoy]

Awesome movie =) the 80's ROCk =)

[ryaninwatson]

I can watch this over and over again! just amazing....

[chrissstopherG]

uploaded on my birthday! whatta score!

[hc4zrr324]

haha! kinda reminds me of ferris bueller!

[07mcnallyl]

hey how do you do the stuttering vhs tape effect? tht looked really autherntic

[ubseymovies]

We passed the video through a VHS recorder on SLP mode.

[07mcnallyl]

oh ok, its still really feels like an old 80's sketch

[GilbertSmith]

@ubseymovies That seems to be the only way to do it. I've been looking for some kind of plugins or filters to do it on my computer, since I don't have a VCR or VHS camcorder, but no luck.

[falconer02]

I've watched this twice so far and shown it to a few friends online. A great 80's-stereotype fim. Cheesy and hilarious! Great job!

[avw639]

Hey, it's Arielle. I love the film, you guys are great. And yes haha, that was me you saw on Meridian. I didn't realize it was you guys.

[jonner]

Ariel: It is 12/27/09 at 10:30pm.

We think we just saw you driving down Meridian. Did we see you driving down Meridian?

Thanks,

Jong

[MarcusKyo]

Loved the characters. All very awesome. Especially Weez and Jad.

[GamerBlueX]

That was great, now if only EarthBound could have a sitcom with an upbeat 90s feel to it XD

[wingedcream]

Very funny. Great job.

[qwaffleboy135q2]

i love watching your guys's movies

[Juntahh]

this is cool i wanna see his next earthbound movie lol

[lordbloodscream]

that was epic

[aceshigh774]

A+!

Best one yet.

[l33tmaster104]

This is so fucking hilarious.

[XavierDuFermier]

wow, very impressed by your dedication and charisma! no one broke character once! great acting, great video

[Stafy]

Amazing video. It's so scathing yet so much of a love letter to these old shows. Terrific execution on this one.

[VorpalStorm]

Every 80's movie ever. I loved it. Is that ancient video tape effect stock with either Premiere or Final Cut, or did you guys make that your selves. It really gave the whole thing that nostalgia.

[lordbloodscream]

I'll be the laughing stock of the principles union.

[Goomba4001]

Oh wow look at that butt.

[Brandonrulz156]

beast dude beast

[MrMonkeyface9]

one of the best of ubseymovies

[p0gipn0i]

amazing job guys, see you at this years sj 48hr film project

[ohhbehave83]

Bout damn time I see this online, one of my faves! Great job fellas.

[PipoStan]

Hit the hammer right on the nail, guys.

[HughBliss]

That. Was. Great.

[Juntahh]

LOL this is so funny

[samtron5000]

brutal!!!

[hypermario123]

make annoottthhheerrr!

[Bombset]

These guys are legit. Quality stuff.

[Kaclys]

Ahhh, this is stupid. Only 701 views? I'd figure that it would have at least triple that amount right now. And it's such a good mini-movie too...

I've lost all faith in humanity. Smosh - The Haunting gets 3.5 MILLION views while movie gold like this lays unwatched. Now, I know that the Smosh "movie" has been out for 2 years, but if you divided their views by the time difference, that's 4,800 views PER DAY. Gah.

[crazy1111111111]

my thoughts exactly! it depresses me when they have very few views on their movies when their stuff is truly entertaining...yea EB saga gets a fair amount, but movies like these should be right up there too...humanity has lost all sense of reality :-/

[Joshcomicguy]

Ness is a pretty good bad guy :D

[wingedcream]

best thing on youtube I've seen in a long time.

[reidman]

That logo. Incredible.

[GilbertSmith]

You know, I know this is just a silly little parody of eighties movies, but the fact remains that you got it so perfectly spot on... The bad video tracking is a great gag, but it would've felt totally authentic with or without that.

I'm really just kind of blown away at how precise the whole thing is. Even if it's just a goofy parody, it takes a lot of skill to get the feel so perfectly right.

[K9houser]

I love the Team Zissou Adidas shoes on Chris Doyle...where did you find those?

[ubseymovies]

We made them as a gag gift for a friend a few years ago.

[EchidnaZX]

Great parody.

[GilbertSmith]

Damn if that didn't look and sound completely authentic. Even seeing modern cars didn't throw it off.

[Brushguy]

The VCR lines were a brilliant touch too.

[Hellsadvocate]

Haha this is win.

[DrPhilro]

I'm so surprised no one has commented on the overall quality of this video having been made in only 48 hours. It's funny, the plot is interesting, and the characters, just like the ubsey guys themselves, are off-beat losers (j/k). Go Ubsey team!

[DrPhilro]

And not only all of that, the music, the art direction, the camera work are all so integrated and cohesive.A TON of thought was put into this movie. Great job!

[coldswift7]

the ending made me lol

[ZeldaDD]

Hah, you got the retro thing perfectly. If I didn't know better I would have thought this was a child of the 70s or 80s.

[Kaclys]

Let's not digress this video into another "I Wish This Was an Earthbound Saga Video" moment. They'll make the next Earthbound chapter whenever they please; if ever. As an artist myself, I'm sure the Ubsey crew wants to broaden their horizons with other content not related to that of Earthbound.

That being said; great movie. I love the atmosphere, music, and especially the cheesy '80s self-commentary made by the protagonist. This would fit right in with the 80's genre of movies.

[SuperNESper]

I respect you.

[SuperMangaBoy]

awesome video, my cool friends

[Kiokuffiib11]

Nice job on this. It looks like an older video, you captured the dress for the most part, Acting wasn't perfect, but it definitely was interesting.

[dajaseon21]

haha great job on this video! one of the best so far.

[Brfeldens]

even the geek got a girl!

nice video btw!

[lildaveelneto]

lmao

[Varmyth]

My dog has a growth on her hind leg, and it sort of looks like poop that's just sort of... Sticking on there. The vet says it's not causing any harm, and she's really old, so we're not going to do anything about it. :(

[thehoweller]

Nicely done...Hopefully this will mean another Earthbound Saga won't be far away.

Pertaining to the video...Was the rancid mayonnaise gun shown to that girl afterward?

But yeah, you guys are definitely talented, keep it up regardless of what you're doing.

[mastyrb8]

fuck yeah

[Gwobbie]

Vibrant visuals, sumptuous music and pungent dialogue.. Makes me hungry. I'm gonna eat...some PIZZA!!!

[RockEsper]

Ha, I loved this! That crappy video cassette static, the soundtrack. Really brought me back. Two thumbs way up!

[jakethesnake6t]

Haha you guys are so weird but I love it

Great job!!

EBS Ch. 5???????

[RockEsper]

Would you be quiet about EB? They know people REALLY want it. You don't have to remind them. They probably find it really annoying.

[jakethesnake6t]

True :p I am really impressed with this one though, they've come such a long way in everything :o

[crazy1111111111]

thank god u guys made another video! its as awesome as ever if not one of the best yet...keep em commin guys :-D

[Masteratnintendo]

Hahaha, this was awesome, good job Ubseymovies!

[Everdred]

nice!! awesome job guys! keep making more! dont stop

[TBustah]

A couple of historical innacuracies aside, this was probably the best non-EB film they've done in my book.

[redsonicX64]

awsomeness

[nick747474]

Awesome. The rattail makes the movie

[Jeffafreak]

This could be better, UbseyMovies get better please!

[harry426]

Best 80's soundtrack evar!!

[Brushguy]

You guys nailed the '80s style to an unbelievably accurate degree. For a fan of Bill & Ted and Ferris Bueller, this was a treat to watch.

[jonner]

a tour de force in avant-garde filmmaking

[timandcarl]

This is fucking hilarious. Perfect emulation of '80s entertainment media.

[MotherFan12]

YAY MORE UBSEYMOVIES :]
