Sorry Sluggo but I don't think the description of this vid makes it clear that it's a 'fan contest' vid & not the real team. Wdn't that be more honest. I don't mean to offend but you must be straightforward. Folks like me don't know the b/g & jump to conclusions you can hardly blame them 4. I quote from yr description of the vid above - 'a new voice over by the Firesign Theatre...' I call that a big fat lie. Please explain my mistake Sir?

@slessorpr Fan contest? What are you smokin'? Like I said go to the Firesign web site and you will see this note in the 2006 announcment section, "Some firehead has put up six of Firesign's nine "Hot Shorts" (re-cut and re-dubbed serials similar to J-Men Forever) on youtube.com. Now what part of "six of Firesign's nine "Hot Shorts" don't you understand?

It may be Firesign's script I don't know but it sure as hell isn't them performing this. Full stop. This is NOT the real Firesign crew.

@slessorpr I would suggest that you visit the Firesign Website. Under updates 2006 there is an announcement proclaiming the Firesign 'Hot Shot' videos on YouTube. Maybe you should investigate before making false claims or are you just another Bozo on this bus?

The Firesign Theater is a group of the craziest geniuses of comedy ever to grace the airwaves. This spoof is excellent, as anyone with half a wit will realize. (Of course, who knows how someone with a whole wit would respond!) I laffed and laffed. These guys are wonderful!

Does anyone out there have FST's J-Men Forever? I saw it a couple of times on the old USA network show UP ALL NIGHT.

@hammerogod This is Austin, Bergman and Proctor with a couple of friends. David Ossman left the troupe during the mid-1980's.

I have been listening to FT since the late 60's so I know that sometimes they hit and sometimes they miss.

This is an in-between.

They were not always funny...they had some failures.

Phil Austin, Peter Bergman, David Ossman and Philip Proctor were the originators...how many of them are still participating is anybody's guess.

But..if it sounds like FT and tastes like FT and smells like FT and when you step in it you fall on your ass like Bozo then it's FT.

So quit your bitchin'.

I commend yr patience & yr good taste in humour, but you must agree it wd be so much easier if the words 'recut & redubbed' were also included in the vid description, 4 the sake of artistic integrity as well as honesty. This work stems from love & I don't want to criticise Firesign at all. It's a letdown when you expect a new voice over & find it's what you already know recut into another format. It ain't honest the way you have it described above friend. You shd say 'recut & redubbed' - truth.
