I will NEVER not reblog this. ONE OF THE BEST SNL SKITS THEY HAVE EVER DONE!!!
^^Actually it’s from Madtv but yeah it’s still funny all the same. XD
That’s Will Ferrell and this is from SNL. Horatio Sanz’s first episode! The next sketch was “The Best of Horatio Sanz”, which was just clips of this sketch rearranged.
“kids these days are so cringey w their fortnite dances-” are none of yall going to acknowledge the shit we did. are we not going to acknowledge gangnam style. what does the fox say. if we go older hamster dance. crazy frog. the fucking duck song. the llama song. charlie the unicorn.
let he who is without sin throw the first stone
i’m 46 years old and you goddamn bet we all tried to imitate everything we saw michael jackson do and we all failed horribly
How soon you all forget. The Macarena.
i blocked that memory deliberately you jackass
carameldansen? harlem shake? watch me whip? pls
the chicken dance.
that is all.
Soulja boi?? The Dougie???
humans have always had fun by moving weirdly to music
if you don’t think all us ‘90s kids tried our damnedest to Hammer Dance to “U Can’t Touch This”, idk what to tell you, dumb dance crazes are just part of the human experience
Two words: Stanky Leg
Yes you can FEEL IT.
It’s eeee-LEC-tric!
...boogie oogie oogie.
There was and is nothing more embarrassing than a wedding full of drunk Italian-Americans doing—or attempting to do—The Electric Slide. Fortnite has nothing on the dumb crazes of the 1970s.
My station growing up! “Ninety-five-point-five! Double-you pee-ell-jay!”
I know that the future is unpredictable, especially when it comes to entertainment & culture, but reading your Dead Fandom editorials make me wonder if it's possible to predict which of todays big fandoms will stand the test of time & which will fade & obscure. Just a neat idea I had & felt like sharing.
Thank you for reading. As for what fandoms will be around in the future, I hate to say this because I love the show and I think it’svery high quality, but based on what I know about how fandoms rise and fall, Ihave a hard time imagining a scenario that Babylon 5 fandom will be alive in5-10 years. It’s not a dead fandom yet, but one that has a terminal illness.
Mostly, it’s due to the fact that it isn’t available forstreaming on normal platforms people actually use, and due to the nature of thespecial effects (which you can read about here), there are challenges inconverting it to High Definition (a non-negotiable part of rebroadcastingsomething or streaming it in today’s world), so as a consequence, an entiregeneration went by that’s never heard of it. Most fandoms don’t recover from a lost generation. Hell, Babylon 5 isn’t evenavailable on Blu-Ray, which is a low bar to clear (I don’t actually know anyonein real life who owns a dedicated blu-ray player that isn’t a playstation or something).
Combine that with the fact that, tragically and due tounfortunate happenstance, at least half of the Babylon 5 cast is nolonger with us, you have a scenario where B5 can’t be legitimately continued,denying the fandom the oxygen of a revival or continuation.
Heck, Babylon 5 is already starting to fade fromconsciousness, which is amazing for something that was, at one point, like thesecond or third biggest active scifi fandom. Ask yourself: do you have aco-worker with a Starfury model on their desk? If you were to quote it, would anyone catch the reference? When was the last time you saw aBabylon 5 shirt? That’s kind of amazing when it comes to a show that does the Lilo and Stitch thing of repeating a phrase a dozen times until you get it (”Ohana means family”).
Also, the most notable thing about Babylon 5 is that it wasan arc show with one continuing story. That’s a problem because there’s nothingspecial about being an arc show now, with a single story through line; in thepost-Sopranos TV era, every single show is like that now. Even procedural crimeshows have arcs and season-long story through lines these days.
Also, B5 is out of step with modern aesthetics about what TVshows are like (and I am not referring to the special effects). If you think ofcreativity as biological evolution, most modern genre shows are descendants of B5’scontemporary, Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer: centered around quippydialogue, Scream-type genre self-awareness, reversals of expectations. Babylon5 is out of step with that, old fashioned, a bit overwritten; characters liketo monologue about Winston Churchill.
Again, I am not saying this is “bad”(I like B5 and it is what it is) but I can see how it can be offputting tosomeone looking at it with fresh eyes. TV fans are more oriented toward the newthan movie fans are, so TV viewers are more likely to be pulled out by thingslike black and white, stylistic acting, and so on.
Hey, remember how at the time, Babylon 5 was seen as adaring new breakthrough that would make television history, on the level ofTwin Peaks or something, and Star Trek: Deep Space 9 was seen as an awkward middle child cashin for an increasingly tired and oppressively omnipresent scifi franchise? It’s amazing howthe consensus view on both shows is now totally reversed; B5 is now seen as agood show but very, very much of its time and not a television breakthrough,and DS9 is now seen as, if not thebest Trek show, as maybe one of the high points of the entire Trek franchise?Rediscovery on streaming made the difference for DS9’s reputation, something B5 unfortunately didn’t get.
I live by The One and I die by The One!
This fandom is as dead as Mr. Morden. But you never know when it's gonna come back and wave at us. Like this...
I have no memory of this show, and now I must track it down for a possible future TV Crimes Podcast.
Those misfits! Misfits of Science! Those wacky crazy scientific guys! (I love 'em.)
This show had the best opening sequence and perfect theme song. The rest of it was...okay? Great cast, great premise, dumb plots.
Damn, save some for the rest of us
This is like the opposite of that dude sliding down a snowy hill with classical music
