    Ah, I see now. Funny or Die.

    Carry on!

  • stevemc

    Yes, from “The White Album.” You know: Charles Manson, Sharon Tate. I’m sure the video’s authors are too young too remember. Never the less: too soon.

    • Cog

      Are you being serious?

      I’m adrift in a sea of irony, I think, and it’s hard to tell what’s intentional and what’s not.

    • Ghede

      ^Laughs at inappropriate times.

      It’s not “too soon” you just don’t like dark humor. Some people do, some people don’t. It probably has to do with whether or not they use laughter as a coping mechanism.

  • LuckyFink

    Peter Serafinwitzalkfd is just brilliant most of the time.

  • bjacques

    A beautiful start to a too-early morning. By the way, check out Serafinowicz’s brilliant “Look Around You,” the bright future as seen from 1980.

  • hbl

    “F’king Media Studies!!!”

  • HatOfEdshu

    Robbing Paul to pay Peter??

    Serafinowicz is a most prolific Tweeter too, with lots of good one-liners!

  • Uncle_Max

    That was fantastic, and before I saw the name Peter Serafinowicz, I was inclined to believe it. After all the Beatles did put out “Run For Your Life”.

      ummm. I can’t figure out where you and in fact, goodfight are coming from. It seems they are out to ‘expose’ the Beatles.

      Mission accomplished. I now rate the Beatles a little bit higher having learned that they bothered with all the satanic stuff.
      I mean; you gotta be reeeaaalllly convinced of your convictions before walking off down that path.

      How cool is that? The Beatles were satanic.
      Kudos.

      • VagabondAstronomer

        @Wild Olive – The Beatles? Satanic (Troll much?)? Please.
        As for the video… subtly twisted. I like it.

        • Antinous / Moderator

          Hey! Could somebody please let the bouncer know when a crazy person wanders in?

    • BWChicago

      If anyone’s looking for the crazy part in this video, it starts about halfway through, after Sgt. Pepper.

  • kmoser

    gh. Lm.

  • Phikus

    Sad that some folks here seem to be taking this entirely too seriously.

  • Phikus

    Great expressions. Mugs with the best of them and he’s got the head-bobbing down. Should have been an out-take from the Rutles.

  • eideal852

    GH! LM S RGHT

  • Cog

    Hrm. Gotta say guys, this seems to have ‘spoof’ written all over it.

  • Little John
