The shot for "between our quests we sequin vests" is alarmingly well-chosen.

Wow, a twofer! Star Trek kinda and MontyPython sorta. With effects worthy of Dr. Who. Make that a threefer.

You forget how f'n campy and corny TOS was at time.

Hey, it was the 60s...
posted by frogan at 11:00 PM on July 18, 2006

Just when I thought TOS couldn't seem campier.

Just awesome. Really, really awesome.

Before I open that link, is this thing going to eat my soul and mind like "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins"?

If so, I'm not touching that with a 60 foot pole.

another version from the Record of Lodoss War series

God, I did not realise TOS had so much dancing...

As a random aside, BBC2 has started showing TOS on Saturday afternoons. We're only two episodes in ("The Cage" and "The Man Trap") and I already know that I will never be able to leave my house again.

...and on review that already shows up in the youtube sidebar. Still, it's very well synced up; easier with animation than live action I guess

Captain Pike made me spit coffee, as did the last line.

Bloody good show. Too bad the Broadway version wasn't as entertaining.
posted by Gungho at 4:14 AM on July 19, 2006

Heh. Both versions are great. Its amazing how much more silly a show can become if one simply plays it faster.

...not that TOS was a bastion of seriousness...

Oh, and just eat some more Nerds to replace that exploded inner nerd you mentioned. If it doesn't improve, call me in the morning.

No. It was "The way to Eden".

With Skip Homeier as Dr. Sevrin
Mary-Linda Rapelye as Irini Galliulin
Victor Brandt as Tongo Rad
Charles Napier (now a famous charachter actor who plays cops) as Adam
Deborah Downey as Mavig

They are singing:

"Head'n off to Eden,
Yeah brother.
Gonna live off whatever we find..."

Want to know what the wall safe combination in Episode 27 was?

This is effin' funny.

But what's Yeoman Rand's cabin number?? Huh? Huh???!?

posted by zoogleplex at 11:11 AM on July 19, 2006

tkchrist - I think I love you.

zoogleplex - Well, 3F-125 was her first room number. The second was 3C-46.

I have not yet watched the video with sound (I'm at work) but I already find it hilarious.

The Youtube poster says he was asked by the creator to remove the video from YouTube. (The Creator...?)
posted by Snerd at 4:58 PM on July 19, 2006

I'm guessing it's not the Great Bird. I sent a YouTube note a little bit ago to the creator asking for tips on what to Google, because nothing I am trying is coming up with it.
posted by etoile at 5:09 PM on July 19, 2006

Er, not the creator, the person who posted it on YouTube. I am dazzled by the need for Python Trek and can no longer see the keyboard clearly.

I too am bummed that it disappeared before I could share. If anyone finds a mirror, please let us know. :)

Is this it listed on this page? Scroll a little over half way down in the page, or seach for "Knights of the Round Table"
