It's weird to see TV from the 70s, before most colors were invented.

I recognized the "Exo-Man" armor machine the instant it was on the screen, and I knew something was up. I saw the original Exo-Man on TV. There is nothing like crushing disappointment and disgust to etch something permanently in a young man's mind.
So in other words, a perfect choice for a parody piece. Awesome!
And I loved the closing shot of Paul Lynde on the couch in his "Loki" costume.

I remember Exo-Man. He was no Man From Atlantis, that's for sure.

Yeah, before Hawkeye came on, I'm thinking "can't tell if trolling, or just the 70s" ..

I knew it was a fake when the Exo-Man crap showed up. I recall the show because it pissed me off with the super-bad physics (magnets! in boots! pulling themselves forward!)

Kiss should make a new movie....
Okay...I've got it...a shot-for-shot remake of the Metallica documentary Some Kind of Monster, but starring the members of Kiss in full makeup the entire time.

Whoever made this tipped their hand with the footage from the Hulk/Thor movie - that was the eighties. This was still awesome though. "Hawkeye" made me laugh.

I too find it hard to believe there's two distinct things in pop culture named after the same common English word.
(At least y'all have it easier than Avatar: The Last Airbender fans. "No, not that James Cameron movie about blue people. No, not that craptastic M. Night adaptation. The original cartoon series.")

My gal and I watch the "Paul Lynde Halloween Special" every year - from '75 or '76 - it features KISS, Margaret Hamilton (the Wicked Witch), Florence "Mrs Brady" Henderson, and so much more.
Now THAT should be turned into a full-length movie. Er...except for Lynde being dead and all.
And yeah, for old folks like me, no surprise this was a gag - but still way fun. And LOVED the theme music.

filthy light thief, here's the 1952 version on whoiseyevan's own YouTube channel, which also features Up! (1965) and The Empire Strikes Back (1950). Previously.
(I love whoiseyevan's work & commissioned him to create my book trailer in the style of a 1927 silent film.)
