Happy Holidays From 1997! A Seasonal Video Blog Including Josh Groban + Male Strippers


"Well, there are lots of great treats this time of year - Zucchini Bread, Fruitcake.. but the thing that I most like to bring out this time of year are my Balls"
~ Pete Schweddy

The holidays have been written about, and written about, and written about.

So my bosom buddy Maria and I decided we would discuss -- as in, jump on iChat one Friday night when the rest of the world was fist pumping and doing shots of marshmallow-flavored Vodka (because it unfortunately exists) -- the holidays; perhaps chatting about our favorite Christmas carols or our favorite holiday films or maybe even a show and tell of some of the best gifts we've ever received.

And then I drank one (one!) beer and Maria got drunk through osmosis.
And we ended up with what you're about to watch.


{Note: something is definitely wrong with my Internet connection. So wrong that my screen frequently makes it look as though I'm wearing wax make-up that is slowly melting all over my face. We debated about putting this video up for mass consumption, because of how shitty the quality was, and I guess we drank another beer and decided the sheen of 1997 dial-up made it even...funnier? Weirder? Sadder?)

Someday we'll fix the quality
and / or get our own VH1 show.

(ps: our lip syncing was so much better in real time than it looks here.
We can lip sync like Milli Vanlli: so good you'll give us a recording contract)

I watched the video at work (don't worry, I kept the volume low and I'm the only one on this floor). Hilarious!! It was the laugh I needed this morning.

Jas said...

I just want to say that I'm at work and can't watch this right now... but I seriously can't wait to watch it.

Aaah, hilarious! My favorite was the part where you all are stuck in the middle seat, depressed. (Is it mean to laugh at something like that? You made it too funny to not laugh.)

Put some Schweddy Balls BJ's ice cream in that empty fridge!

I could have spelled out Ben and Jerry's but it was more fun to use BJ...because...well...you know...I said "balls" in the same sentence.

Dude...the cockadoodle noise freaked out my cat. Seriously. She's traumatized for life.

Michelle said...

LMFAO!! That...was awesome. I laughed very loudly at the bit with the manger and the rooster crowing. I don't know why, but I found that to be hilarious.
