TV Without Pity is having some technical difficulties with their technicalness. Which would make sense, right? Yeah. So anyway, in lieu of one of my videos which would almost certainly have begun with my mimicking a few lines from THE ROOM and ended with my conjecturing that some kind of robot would make the show I’m talking about better–I know…classic Sean Crespo!–I’m going to post something extra scrumdiddlyumptious.
Let me also point out that my pointing out that anything is “classic Sean Crespo” is itself also “classic Sean Crespo.”
So instead of me, I offer you my hero. Courtesy of Staff Seargent Benari Poulten who is soooo busy in Iraq, gentrifying the place till they get some sort of fusion Thai brunch spot going, that he had time to post a youtube link of this video on my facebook page….please welcome, SPIDERMAN!
But not cool, super special effected, Tobey MacGuire-suited, pre-Spiderman 3… Spiderman. This is the 1970′s, cool because it’s incredibly cheesey, stars Morgan Freeman as a slightly retarded police officer, and is part of a sketch from the old Electric Company… Spiderman. The trick to kitsch like this is if they’re clearly having a good time making something like this, you’re going to have a good time watching this. Good news! They had a good time.
Good good good.
GOOD!
If after the video, you still crave a more modern Spiderman fix, head on over to the now classic, fanboy-hate/love-mailed piece AN OPEN LETTER TO SPIDERMAN from the Sanitation Department of New York City. Who wrote this hilarious humor article? Well, I’ll give you a hint. His name is Sean Crespo and it’s me. Ok, give up?
It was fantasy novelist, the late Robert Jordan.
HA! I got you! “Fantasy novelist, the late Robert Jordan” is Drink At Work’s super secret code for “Sean Crespo.” Had you going though for a second, didn’t I? Man…good times.
Kill me.
