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.
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¡¿¡¿¡¿¡~
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!* :)
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.
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:)
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!
@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
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.
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.
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.
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
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!!!!
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.
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. :)
