Get your fat space ass back here

Raging Thespian		2012-05-04 02:48:25 PM

I made it about 20 seconds in.

Babwa Wawa		2012-05-04 04:07:42 PM

the f*ck was that?

Mentat		2012-05-04 04:17:24 PM

Babwa Wawa: the f*ck was that?

People did a lot of drugs in the 70's.

LesserEvil		2012-05-04 04:19:32 PM

Oddly fitting that brother and sister play (unknown at the time) brother and sister.

Perlin Noise		2012-05-04 04:28:49 PM

AngryPoet		2012-05-04 04:34:15 PM

My head almost blew up after 20 seconds...

AshCampbell		2012-05-04 04:41:13 PM

Evan McGregor? Really? Renton is disappoint, subby.

Barricaded Gunman		2012-05-04 04:49:44 PM

As an old Farker, I can remember watching this as a kid and being amazed that they had the real C-3PO and R2-D2. And when I went to school afterward, that's all ANYONE was talking about.

awfulperson		2012-05-04 04:55:44 PM

That, and Donnie and Marie also had a disturbing sexual undercurrent.

/remembers not being sure if they were brother and sister, or husband and wife

crozzo		2012-05-04 05:00:41 PM

I was prepared to watch it but then he started singing.

Zulthar		2012-05-04 05:03:45 PM

The fail is powerful in that skit

Hah! I had precisely the same experience. It's safe to say that Star Wars hit us all pretty squarely in the 10-year-old male demographic, though.

I still find old D & M routines like this both creepy and strangely hot. I have the weirdest boner right now.

Nabb1		2012-05-04 05:21:18 PM

The last time I saw that was when it was actually aired when I was a young kid, and I see it is indeed just as embarrassingly awful as I thought it was back then.

fearmongert		2012-05-04 05:22:05 PM

Hmph.... Is that canon?

Lionel Mandrake		2012-05-04 05:32:45 PM

That was AWESOME!!!

I, too, am an old Farker who remembers when this first aired. I was mostly just staring at Marie, though

skepticultist		2012-05-04 05:33:51 PM

I got through the first two and half minutes, and then I just couldn't do it anymore. It just hurt too much.

Dr.Zom		2012-05-04 05:41:07 PM

What happened to you Kris Kristofferson, you used to be....not cool?

highendmighty		2012-05-04 05:48:15 PM

Her exquisite miniatures are both pokey and hypnotic in her Leia dress. Mmmmmmm exquisite miniatures *drool*...

Balrog		2012-05-04 05:58:45 PM

AshCampbell: Evan McGregor? Really? Renton is disappoint, subby.

The sad part is, I looked it up to make sure it was "Alec" with a "c" and McGregor without a "Mac".

/subby

Fark Me Runnin		2012-05-04 06:09:22 PM

I'd still hit Marie.

Mugato		2012-05-04 06:24:38 PM

I could only watch a minute of that, is this like a porno or something?

unchellmatt		2012-05-04 06:25:44 PM

UaaaaggahhhHH! I remember this! I remember when it aired, and everyone was all "OOoh, Star Wars stuff! We have to watch!!!"

Then, of course... we did watch.

Horrible, but not quite as horrible as the Star Wars "Thanksgiving/Holiday" special. But horrible.

shanteyman		2012-05-04 07:06:00 PM

It was ok until Donnie Osmond opened his mouth.

Manfred J. Hattan		2012-05-04 07:07:45 PM

Horrible, but not quite as horrible as the Star Wars "Thanksgiving/Holiday" special. But horrible.

It wasn't our fault! We only had three channels back then and Wonder Woman wasn't on Fridays yet.

Now they've got 500 channels and people are watching oopma loompa douchebags and rednecks selling used crap to each other

LeroyBourne		2012-05-04 07:15:07 PM

They nailed the 'kiss' part, a little too good.

Lord of Trash		2012-05-04 07:17:17 PM

As if all the Star Wars crap didn't suck enough...

roosam		2012-05-04 07:27:58 PM

I think I saw something just like that at Universal Studios (LA) in the '80s. That sucked too.

/I'll take Paul Lynde to block.

MooseUpNorth		2012-05-04 07:39:14 PM

Heh, Donny's wearing heels.

Kittypie070		2012-05-04 08:30:03 PM

I am afraid to watch this.

OgreMagi		2012-05-04 08:37:53 PM

Marie had a pretty nice rack, back then. I would have hit it.

/can't believe how bad that was, and that I used to watch the show regularly

Umfufu		2012-05-04 08:59:09 PM

Those stormtrooper-ettes had some pretty hot costumes......

just sayin....

AaronSynn		2012-05-04 09:01:42 PM

I was little when this came out, had a mad crush on Marie...

Come to think of it, she was kind of like the Taylor Swift of the 70s

AaronSynn		2012-05-04 09:03:03 PM

Also love that Paul Lyndes Imperial Officer uniform has an old cheap watercolor paint set on the chest....

I. M. Foreman		2012-05-04 09:12:21 PM

That was totally the voice of Tony the Tiger coming out of Vader!

eikni		2012-05-04 09:23:45 PM

Luke, you big dumby.

alizeran		2012-05-04 09:42:47 PM

Im more of a captain and tenille man myself.

/still would hatefark 70's marie though.

Unshavenhelga		2012-05-04 10:41:02 PM

Marie had a nice set. I wonder if Kristopherson was hitting that...

timharrod		2012-05-04 11:00:39 PM

I. M. Foreman: That was totally the voice of Tony the Tiger coming out of Vader!

Thurl Ravenscroft. Also the singer of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" and "Grim Grinning Ghosts" in Disney's Haunted Mansion. The ride, not the movie.

chewielouie		2012-05-04 11:40:45 PM

Fark Me Runnin: I'd still hit Marie.

I'd fit her with a restraining bolt.

some_beer_drinker		2012-05-04 11:55:28 PM

holy fark the seventies were super-ass gay.

Mentat		2012-05-05 12:05:16 AM

You know, Chewy and Paul Lynde were alone in that rocket for a suspiciously long time...

Miss Stein		2012-05-05 12:57:26 AM

Unshavenhelga: Marie had a nice set. I wonder if Kristopherson was hitting that...

He'd have to get in line behind Andy Gibb. He got her first.

Serial		2012-05-05 02:11:26 AM

Fark Me Runnin: I'd still hit Marie.

Even with her little problem?

DansLaLuna: Yup, embarassed to admit it. And kind of scary that Donny is the better dancer

As if there was ever any doubt.

mr lawson		2012-05-05 02:22:45 AM

Serial: As if there was ever any doubt.

omg....that green screen is BEGGING for After Effects!

sonnyboy11		2012-05-05 02:34:18 AM

I remember watching that as a kid. Nothing has changed... I would have given Marie the most disappointing two minutes of her life then, I'd give her the most disappointing two minutes of her life now. And yea, I'm being an optimist with the "two" minutes part.

Zombalupagus		2012-05-05 04:08:08 AM

awfulperson: Donnie and Marie also had a disturbing sexual undercurrent.

Incest fist-bump!

NDP2		2012-05-05 04:20:02 AM

Mentat: Babwa Wawa: the f*ck was that?

People did a lot of drugs in the 70's.

And THAT is why the variety show is now extinct as a format in American television.

Dr.Zom: What happened to you Kris Kristofferson, you used to be....not cool?

Actually, he WAS doing a lot of drugs (and alcohol) at the time so that may explain part of it. (He was also plugging his then-upcoming movie with Burt Reynolds, Semi-Tough.)
