The Last Laugh featured in Episode 56 Video Wars, Extended. This song is like the only song I can recall to be a revenge sign in the whole Jem series. Part of DvF Third Time's A Charm!
Well Blossom44100 it's just that I've been a fan of JEM and I really want to go out with her should I go as thriller, punk, Duran Duran Prince wait I got it Buckaroo Bonzai.
Jem is quite nasty on Beat This too. The Last Laugh is a little Misfits-like, it's funny how Jem became nastier towards the end while Pizzazz almost became a softy. I'd have loved to see them team up against the Stingers or another new band on a season 4.
Riot and Co would've softened too I'd the series were to go on.. .there would def have to be a new band...possibly a grunge or New Jack swing sounding one to compliment the times they would've inherited.
I don't think she was nasty, just tired of being Pizzazz's punching bag, and this was her way of telling her off. As for Beat This, I think she was just being assertive. I liked that Jem was kindhearted, but she wasn't a doormat.
When I daydream of ideas for this XP I get 5 different acts: PROLOGUE, while the infamous Pizzy "laser" mustache incident "Doña Jacqui", as the "mama bear" that protects her cribs with everything gives Pizzy the scare of her life and brings her "down to a splash". ACT 1: Pizzy being "tortured" by Jerrica by the many times she'd tried to "knock her out of the way", so to speak. ACT 2: Mary (Stormer) being "slammed" by the time she wondered "who Jem was" and gave Eric Raymond some wicked ideas, to which Mary begins to cry (in her sensitive angle) to be consoled by Jerrica in actions (words would come after the song). ACT 3: Connie (Clash) being lectured by Jerrica for the times she'd tried to ridicule Jerrica just to please "The Femme Misfits", topped off by the whole "One Jem Too Many" episode. EPILOG: a fast review of everything on the video so far with a IRL view of Britta Phillips (breaking the 4th wall) at the end of singing asking the girls "HOW DID IT FARED?" The answer was a unanimous "DID YOU HAVE TO ASK, BRITTA? To which the singer would just shrug her shoulders and say "I just told this tale...". BIG LAUGH FROM EVERYONE AFTER... Seems like a short fanfic tale, but one that matches this performance "to a t"... It is also a pity that there were no Spanish sung version of this song, in which Maggie Vera would substitute Britta... If you want to talk about this, be my guest below. And now, la versión en Español... [Cuando pienso de este video extendido se me ocurren 5 actos. PRÓLOGO, al suceder el dichoso incidente del "bigote láser" que Pizzy hizo (que casi mata a Jérrica en su oficina) "Doña Jacqui" como la "mamá osa" que protege a sus crías con todo, ofrece a Pizzy "el susto de su vida" y la lleva a "acuatizar". ACTO 1, Pizzy siendo "torturada" por Jerrica por el montón de veces en que "quería sacarla del medio" como se podría decir. ACTO 2, Mary (Stormer) siendo increpada por la vez que se preguntó "quién era Jem?" y le dio a Eric Raymond endiabladas ideas, a lo que Mary empieza a llorar (en su lado sensitivo) para ser consolada por Jerrica en acciones (las palabras vendrían después de la canción). ACTO 3:, Connie (Clash) siendo sermoneada por Jérrica por las veces que la trató de ridiculizar, sólo para complacer a "Las Misfits", completada por el episodio "One Jem Too Many" (La Otra Jem). EPÍLOGO, un ligero repaso de lo sucedido en el video con una mirada a Britta Phillips en la vida real ("rompiendo la 4ta pared") mientras terminaba de cantar, a lo que procedió a preguntar "COMO RESULTO TODO?". La respuesta fue un unánime "TENIAS QUE PREGUNTAR, BRITTA? A lo que la cantante simplemente encogió sus hombros y dijo "yo sólo conté este cuento..." TODAS SE RIERON AL UNÍSONO... Parece un cuentito de fanfic, pero para esta presentación cuadra "al chavo" (al centavo)... Una pena que no hubo una versión de esta canción al Español, en la que podría Maggie Vera sustituir a Britta en esa última escena... Algo creativo y positivo en un "mar de negatividades" Si quieren comentar de esto, les invito a continuación...] PS: Edited in '18, thought about INVERSION OF ACTS 2-3 (Editado en '18 por pensar en INVERSIÓN DE 2DO Y 3ER ACTOS)
Another bit I've found out years ago, but it seems NOBODY PUT ATTENTION (and this is from a viewer who've never got the station in the 1st place). The helicopter that JatH were saved from the "remote control" issue (the hacker Techrat did it many years before it could be properly done IRL, just ask the people at "Cali's own" Tesla EV car company) was a news helicopter whose call sign letters were fake, but the number of the channel wasn''t. Jem can say her gorgeous skin was saved by what is known now as SKY 5 of KTLA-DT, the Tribune-owned station that did broadcast the JatH cartoon for LA (Jerrica's hometown in the cartoon) and the US West Coast in the '80s. This is NOT THE 1ST TIME KTLA is somehow showcased in a cartoon. There was a Popeye (character owned by Hearst, but the cartoons were made by Paramount Pictures) classic cartoon where Popeye's nephews wanted to see cartoons on their only TV at home and they tuned in, guess..., Channel Number 5 (KTLA-TV was owned by Paramount from its' start in 1949 [1942 if you count its' experimental stage] until they've sold it in the '60s to Gene Autry (the cowboy singer-songwriter), who had it until Tribune bought it from him in 1984 just months before JatH debuted. So as you can see, "the real Jem" was more researched that many would've thought.. *
There should have been more tracks like this from the band. Maybe then, everyone wouldn't have said the misfits and stingers were better. Also, to be fair, i think it's a basic cliche of music videos for the whole group to sing along (and at times dance) without playing any instruments...
