Being that the holiday season is still upon us, I should probably be posting a holiday video, but oh well.
I'm a fan of MST3k, so for whatever reason, I'm fascinated by outrageously bad or bizarre videos from days past (the 80s is the best decade for this sort of stuff). Occasionally, a gem of a turd comes along that blows my mind and makes me wonder about God, the Universe and Everything.
So I present to you: Mr.T, The Movie. Be Somebody.
Okay, so maybe I don't know the actual title, but I challenge you to get through all 50 minutes of this video without looking for a large blunt object to bludgeon yourself with.
Synopsis: There isn't really a story to this, it's really just a collection of ways kids can survive in the harsh, harsh world of the public school system through the guidance of the 80s' most 'famous' educational icon. And singing. Lots of singing. But not by Mr. T - he half-raps his way through his lyrics with zest and style. I say 'half-raps' because he's saying the lyrics rather than singing them, presumably because his singing skills would bring more pain to the viewing of this video.
Why would I post such a thing? Because it's weird. And compared to what's on TV, the craptacular hilarity alone is worth more than most reality TV shows.
Contains appearances by New Edition (with the famous Bobby Brown) and a very, very young Fergie (in her Kids Incorporated days).
