Joe's Apartment (Original MTV Short)

[zshaw7549]

I miss the old MTV when videos were actually played. Everything has changed from the 80's to the 90's. I am going to come up with a petition for MTV to tell them to go back to playing videos again.

[unpredictablexyz]

Im guessing that one dislike belongs to an exterminator.

[deepcovergecko]

I Loved the movie when I was a kid, its still funny

[rahulkachru]

Talking roaches , now that's trippy !!!

[ou8mybigmac]

i miss Joe's apartment and i miss the old mtv now its all reality cause its made cheaper =( so are all kids tv shows

[Tinkimoon]

they overdid it like the {caveman commericals}...B-) with the movie

[Tinkimoon]

it was funny as a short..they always try to push the envelope on a good thing..like they did when making sex n the city movie ..or saw 1 -11 -111 -1111- etc,

or even speed speed2. ~If the titanic didnt truly sink as a true sad story theyde make Titanic bleed with ongoing sequels. Enjoy the fast quikie version¡¿¡¿¡¿¡~

They at least shoulda kept orignal JOE eh

[Tinkimoon]

when I told my kids about it..they thought I was making it up.lmao* great to kno after 20 yrs gone by..WE can share a good laugh at something I first saw funny...when I was his age!* :)

[Spindlemeister]

i think this is the first time i've ever seen a 100% like on a youtube vid!

[militantofnothing]

I remember this short so much. Way better than the movie that came out later.

[TemplarReturns]

Hey hey your on our turf man. Yeah yeah, we gon cut you up so bad... you you, you gonna wish we dont cut you up so bad.

[iamwesker90002]

I bow to you good sir.

[EmWHful]

poor joe, these guys really didn't make it easy for him although they had good intentions.

[lavvy2585]

I was telling a guy at work about this yesterday, I could barely talk I was laughing so hard. I specifically remember the nosy roaches tipping over the light fixture and falling on the girl and her screaming like she was being murdered.

[kc86er]

Very grungy...like most of the videos that were airing on MTV at the time

[RockoJulian]

Omg look who it is?! Deuce Bigalow's GF!?!!

[Aeolis7]

I liked this Joe better then Jerry O'Connell

[JayJunior]

Who played the original Joe

[hammerkop02]

I have this on a VHS tape that was recording when the short aired! I was living in Jacksonville, Florida at the time in a house with an awful cockroach infestation! I thought I would die of laughter when it came on! I had to move from the house because of those damn bugs! They were not my friends:)

[DEthe5150]

Joe's Apartment RULES!!!

[CelestialRails905]

Thanks man, been looking for this for ages!

[Yirmumahnet]

"I like 'em better with six legs"

[CoCoYvette]

Nobody ever believed me when I was a kid. I used to always tell them "No I saw Joe's Apartment on MTV before it was a movie. It's really old..." but watching this now makes my skin crawl, those critters look too real for me. Ick!

[8cire]

I forgot how funny this MTV short was. The movie really sucked though!

[TriggerHappyGuy]

@8cire I don't understand why so many people hate the film. I think it's fantastic! Well written, funny and some cracking songs. IMO, anyways.

[MiloRavenV]

@TriggerHappyGuy I loved the film too! I remember watching it as a kid and laughing my ass off!

[jwallbanger]

why did they have to ruin this great bit with that awful movie.

[stairway2danielle]

This is back in the day when mtv played nine inch nails ..hehe

[slamaina]

Thanks for posting this.

[TriggerHappyGuy]

@slamaina You're welcome!

[latoniakimmons]

funny! when u have guest u pray to god a roach dont pop up and ruin everything. lol

[Moviewhiz1]

I went into "Joe's Apartment" with a bad attitude, but came out fucking loving it.

[miximaxo]

divertido

[HeroTubeHD]

this is konda looks likes beta

[movieman104]

why would he take his date back to his place with all the roaches there

? bad idea lol should have gone to movioe or something

[TriggerHappyGuy]

@movieman104 Because he wanted to bone her :-p

[movieman104]

@TriggerHappyGuy and that idea did work out well lol should have tried that elsewhere too

[TriggerHappyGuy]

@movieman104 He's a guy. He had to take that chance. He couldn't just say, "look lady, we can't do it at my house, let's go to your house all the way across town!". Plus, I don't reckon Joe is one for sleazy motels :-p

[movieman104]

@TriggerHappyGuy yea as a typical guy on his date he had only one thing on his mind lol and wasent thinking clearly bout the rest.

[MrFOREARMZ]

@movieman104 SHOULD HAVE TOOK HER TO THE BACK OF A ALLY

[IrishMutt1979]

Is that Deuce Bigelow's girlfriend?

[ctdsnark]

The movie sucked.

[NightRanger77]

@ctdsnark the short is better

[skaterboy1160708]

wrong joe



[TriggerHappyGuy]

@skaterboy1160708 What?

[Hewylewis]

This is better than the movie.

[TriggerHappyGuy]

@Hewylewis I watched it recently, I loved the movie still!

[BurntFlower03]

hey cool, thanks for uploading this, I always wondered what that short was like!!

[genestarwindjf80]

this takes me back I used to watch this lots as a kid during our great times in the 90's when MTV was good with lots of shows, comedy. now and days today shows on MTV sucks badly.

[johndnumber3]

i wonder if that guy was pissed that he wasnt in the movie.

[newstarcadefan]

Wow...i remember this from the late 80's early 90's! This was so freakin' funny!

[TriggerHappyGuy]

@newstarcadefan It can't have been the late 80s, it wasn't made until 1992. hehe.

[newstarcadefan]

@TriggerHappyGuy Hehehe, my mistake! Either way, it was still good to see the shorts and the movie, all funny :D

[crzybatgrl89]

So hilarious! Joe's Apartment is one of my favorite movies..since seeing it, I now give names to various roaches in the house. HAHA

[ChillicothtardKilla]

is that Benecio Del Toro?

[RenegadeFury]

I WOULD PISS MYSELF

[Wasp1984]

lol this guy sucks compared to, Jerry O'Conell he did it better.

[TriggerHappyGuy]

He's not that bad. Until your comment I didn't even realise it was a different actor, I thought it was a younger Jerry O'Connell! They look very similar to me but upon further research I found out this guy is called Mark Rosenthal.

[LiquidPete2099]

I have a massive infestation right now, so this is hilarious..

[chaospoet]

I have this on VHS on the MTV compliation of short skits "I want my MTV". Still the best skit they ever did.

[TriggerHappyGuy]

@chaospoet I quite enjoyed the taxi driver skits too.

[omazinger]

I would have killed those roaches if they did that to me !!!!

[sidearmsalpha]

Can anyone confirm if the girl is Jamie Luner from that sitcom Just the Ten of Us? If it is, she IS hot!!! I saw her at Wonder-Con last year in San Francisco.

[mysticx0]

@sidearmsalpha no she is Arija Bareikis. she was also in the duece bigelow movies.

[dclarke2010]

Can some one help me, I'm lookin for the mtv short where it was a father and son they had like plastic hair...they were always repairing there car...and yelling at each other

[CelestialJudge]

That girl had a smokin' hot body!

[Vydio]

I remember the first time I saw this ... DH and I sat speechless, our eyes glued to the set thinking I can't believe it. Finally DH spoke ...DISGUSTING, but what if you could make peace with them. What if they tried to be friendly> Bottom line; THEY'D STILL BE BUGS!!!!

[Rukgrafx]

This was the inspiration for the movie. Back in the days when MTV was still awesome, rebellious and ORIGINAL!!!

[monoloco35]

yeah before the dark times , before the reality shows

[madbicyclist]

@monoloco35 Before it was all about black man's music

[UniversalTVfan1994]

Joe kinda looked the same, but Lily had a different look before the 1996 film.

[CorkyfromAZ]

I had never seen this before. I have only seen the movie and I love the movie! What is kewl about the movie is that I was completely stoned when I saw it the first time, but whne I saw it the 2nd time it was even funnier. Prolly cuz I was able to catch all the little things that I missed the 1st time. Anyways, thanks for posting this. Now I have a a frame of reference.

[Civonos]

Wasn't this on a VHS release of other MTV shorts?

[TriggerHappyGuy]

Certainly was, this is ripped right off that very VHS ;-)

[Civonos]

I've been looking for that VHS for years, what is the name of it?

[TriggerHappyGuy]

I'll have a look through my many discs of files and try find out for you ;-)

[bastian1926]

I don't remember much about the movie either. I just couldn't get that much into the movie, but I still get a charge out of the short!

[bastian1926]

Personally, I think that the short is better than the movie.

[TriggerHappyGuy]

I haven't seen the movie since it first came out. I can't remember much about it at all to be honest...

[gonexhaywire]

I disagree, I like them the same. Well, because this EXACT scene is in the movie, with better actors. :] Also, you got a whole movie out of the movie version. :)

[SpamNapkin]

a lot of the footage was recycled from this version though.

[mondo50200]

I would watch MTV for hours just to see this short. Love It!!!

[TriggerHappyGuy]

Hehe glad you like it! Now you can watch it whenever you please :-D
