The sign of an excellent parody is attention to detail. These guys did a great job. The audience knew every visual cue, and got every joke...down to the star effect over the "girls'" eyes. Kudos!
Never heard of the show, but it looks like some original thing that Comdy Central would've commissioned in the 90's, like Viva Variety.
Nooooobody was a bigger AFOS fan than I in '82/'83, so if you're going to do a send-up, do it right! These guys got it right where so many have failed! They were especially adroit with Mike's draggy preening in contrast to Ali's Frankenstein monster comportment!
@dmarquis24 if only i was born 20 years earlier from my birth date, i bet my life would be 100x better then now... we're in the 10's of the 21st century and i feel depressed, the woman looked better back then, the muscle cars, the MUSIC!!! all of it was great, even the fucking economy was WAY better then our shitty economy now. i swear if a fucking time machine isn't invented in the upcoming years... i going 2 kill myself because i can't take it any more in this fucking decade!!! 80's FOREVER!!
That was funny! He did a perfect impression of the band members from the original video, the body movments right down to the facial expressions. Great job.
"Emo dudes"? I assume you mean the subculture and not the music but in 1982 that subculture had a very different style than today. A Flock of Seagulls are considered to be a New Wave or Synthpop band.
What I mean is that musically they are probably unrelated (or distantly related as they are genres of rock). In terms of relation to the subculture they are also apparently unconnected. The hairstyle may have had a very distant effect on the emo subculture we know today. I Ran (So Far Away) is one of their colder songs, in my opinion, but one which I enjoy the most.
OMG!!!!!!! I love I ran, this is hilarious! Did you know that on the actual AFOS myspace in their blog they said that this video had mike lol! LOL! GREAT VIDEO!
You mean to tell me that isn't actually the real Flock of Seagulls, whoever they were? Also this video claims to have a cameo by Mary Jo Pehl, which apparently wasn't enough of a cameo for her to actually appear IN this video (at the very least, noticably).
Mary Jo Pehl..
was she the one who asked if he was in a band..? MST kiks ass
