Oh wow, I was in a production of this play when I was 15. I played the devil. It's super corny, but it works a lot better with a bunch of over-enthusuastic theater kids rather than adults, and it was a lot of fun. I admit it's awful, but it's got some serious nostalgia value for me.
@@Ugly_German_Truths You know those times when you see a bad romantic storyline, and you think this is still a better love story than the Twilight saga? This isn't one of those times.
This looks like those crappy anti-drug assembly shows we were forced to see in middle school, where all the cast members wear neon shirts and say "Hey guys, I'm *insert name here*!", and the assembly would stop halfway through so that Principal Forrester could yell at Glenn Cooper for throwing a paper ball on stage, and they'd have to drag someone out of the auditorium after they fainted during the segment of the assembly where they show crime scene photos of celebrities after they died from drug use.
I now imagine Dr. Forrester from MST3k as a school principal. Comes onto the loud speakers and is like: "Hello, my collection of spawns from backwater devils. For today's schedule, you'll all be shoved into our cramp little auditorium and subjected to what can only be described in comparison to Reefer Madness as Birdemic was to Hitchcock's The Birds." Or something like that.
I remember some ex-addicts coming to speak to my class and a group of popular idiots yelling 'smack head!' repeatedly at one of the women. This is the kind of show that probably made young people more interested in drugs. All the religious overtones just make my skin crawl.
"Well, on the bright side, at least he can have SAX before marriage." I died. The dumbest possible joke, and also the greatest. Just finished the vid and it might be one of your best. You're just so cruel to these god-fearin' youngsters.
Take away the religion and give them a proper set, and this is basically one of those Disney Channel live action TV-series. Notice the "lolrandom" moment at 18:46.
Clicking on a Cinema Snob video without a thumbnail image is like opening a blank box left by a stranger on you front porch: you don't know what you're gonna get but you're fairly sure you'll need medical treatment afterwards.
Their was a fundamentalist Christian group that aired a sketch comedy/drama series for da youngsters. They did - at least - one horrible AIDS/gay segment. The series was late 1980s - mid 1990s.
Okay, Doctor Who and then a Nightman "laughs are cheap, I'm going for gasps" reference? This episode is officially complete and the best one of this year's Musical March in September. :D
I usually listen to Cinema Snob in the background while I do other things. Brad should take that as a compliment; I find his voice soothing. But there are a couple of episodes where I will play them in the background like five times, and yet I still wouldn't be able to tell you what the movie was about. But then I finally sit down and watch the screen and I realize: No wonder I can't remember. Nothing happens in this movie!
Tareltonlives I remember it being pretty good But then again, back then I didn't know 4kids! butchered the movie. Mew was supposed to be the villain, not Mewtwo, for example. Wish we'd get proper dubs of the movies originally dubbed by 4kids.
I'm from Brazil, and we usually get the English dubs (which I assume is because we don't have too many people whoever can translate directly from Japanese, but I still hate that), _especially_ the butchered ones. We got the 4kids One Piece dub, for example, and it wasn't even completed. And we barely have any anime on Brazilian TV nowadays, cable or public. Even reruns are rare. D:
this is the episode that did it.. i laughed so hard, i literally couldn't breathe.. especially from the dance in the chair after Jenny died.. i love these
I can't help but notice the audiences laughter of the nerds romance scene. Then again, this was long before being a nerd became a more socially acceptable thing.
Yeah, messages like that are ultimately pretty harmful... But the peer pressure stuff, anti-drugs.. even if the message is stilted, there's truth behind it.
Well. the line is "I love my dead gay son." And then Jason Dean wonders how the father would feel if his son had a limp wrist with a pulse. But I love all Heathers references. Especially ones that involve Veronica.
There's a Mormon stage production made into a film called Saturday's Warrior that reminds me a lot of Hi-Tops. Might want to check it out Snob for this or perhaps next "Musical March in September." It's just as hooky and insufferable as Hi-Tops appears to be and this is the opinion of one of the faithful.
1:26 "So let´s rap about peer-pressure, kids, because when the devil shows up to give you advice, mark my words: It ain´t gonna be very nice!" Snoop Doggy Snob is spitting some hot bars yo!
Thank you Snob for giving me a new earworm to get stuck in my head at the most random times...."I want to be in the band, I want to be in the band, I got to be in the baaand!"....
Sweet Jesus!!!, I take back everything!!! After 33 years, Your video was better than the play!!! I just freaking spit my latte at my phone screen... 😂😂😂
I... remember seeing this. Live. There was a touring production of it at the church my family and I went to. Or maybe the church put on their own performance of it? I would have been around 5 or 6 at the time so it's all pretty fuzzy but I DEFINITELY remember the green hair and the death scene.
Colton Seatvet Psalty did put out a series of "Kids Praise" albums back in the 1980's. I used to listened to these albums since I was a teenager. It was sorta like an old time radio. It has songs and the entire cast on their albums.
I feel like it would improve the movie if it was called "High Heels" instead, and everyone kept trying to dance but kept failing horrifically until someone broke their leg and they had to give up on their dreams. Would make a great satire film of this in my opinion.
These movies were one of the reasons I got kicked out of Sunday school, that and drawing a snake during arts and crafts and not knowing that the critter was depiction of the devil in the Garden of Eden.
I wasn’t a fan I remember being really little though and when I was left with a babysitter on Saturdays I was allowed to watch Ren and Stimpy(even though I was 4) and I think Roundhouse was on first
snob: fluffernutter me: what? snob: corkscrew me: did you hit your head or something? snob: gatoraid me: ALRIGHT THAT'S IT. YOUR GOING TO TELL ME WHAT CRAZY CULT YOUR BROKE OUT OF OR ELSE snob: BOOM cinema snob me ohhhhh now i get it
tvestal100 I remember seeing "The Little Mermaid" a school play about two years ago and it sucked bad. The characters aren't that good in the school version and the songs are godawful. The Broadway version does that better, not the school play.
I clicked on this link hoping that this was the show I saw as a teen - I think our youthgroup saw a version about 25 years ago and I still remember it, espcially the Love Song For Two Nerds. Didn't realise it was a professional production.
The nerds' duet is what happens when a bunch of unpopular Christians are sick of being called lame, so they try and overdo the lameness from some nerds so they can feel like the cool guys
I had to pause the video! that crack me up! XD the indignation tone when he says it hahahahaha! check out the Key and Peele Family matters video! just hilarious!
Whoever made enormous baggy socks worn in multiple sets at once (and sometimes over pant legs) into a fad needs to be given the Clockwork Orange treatment and sat in front of this feature until they break. That said, that glitterific Lucifer is faaaaabulous.
There was a Psalty show at my school when I was a kid. It was surprisingly well-scripted in comparison to the normal "because we do it for Jesus we don't have to display any talent" shows we were subjected to. Glad to get a backstory for this memory.
+August West 2 or 3 of the people in this vid are dressed up pretty much exactly like some of the characters from TBC. I guess the connection is a bit tenuous, but I did get 29 upvotes, so I guess some others saw it too? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So uh...what exactly did Lucifer have to do with this whole thing, anyway? Kinda seemed like he just fucked around and insulted people every now and then.
It's hypocritical that a musical that speaks out against peer pressure and being yourself spends so much time making fun of the nerd characters. Even the audience makes fun of them. I must admit the actress playing Jenny is really good in that scene before she o.d.'s. Her line "Here's to the me that never was" was genuinely moving. 26:31 Fancy foot work there, Snob. You ought to be in the band. You got to be in the band. You ought to be in the band, Mister.
9:36: "Actually he's sending the angels off so he can have a lemon party with Merlin and Wizard Wankbeard." Darn it Snob, stop making me spit out my milk!
Okay, this was a dozen flavors of weird. I mean what audience was this stage production aimed at, children, teenagers, people who probably didn't pay attention in High School on this subject? But if I had to say something positive about this special, at least it has more effort put into the production then in the insanity test known as "Ms. Velma's Most Incredible Christmas Week". That and it also had an audience this time. Great Episode as usual.
