Everyone knows that the Superfriends were meant to be abused in homebrew video editing redubs for humorous or time-wasting results. Granted, the Superfriends reenacting an ad execs idea of pop culture generating gold could slip under the radar, but when your local troupe of 70′s superheroes renders their own version of the Hollywood masterpiece, Office Space, then it requires a bit more effort to attend the experience than a passable minute where they employ slang to shout greeting to one another. “Wazzup!” this is not, I mean, the lip synching is commendable, the original material is dear to me, the video and audio quality is good and most importantly, today is a slow day at work. Boredom makes all the world a comedy, if you’ll only pay attention.
Watching this video is just about the most fun I can have at work without spiking the water cooler or even taking off my pants. I say “just about”, because my office has more to keep me entertained than just non-dairy coffee creamer, or breakroom blackpowder as its referred to on the street.
We’ve got RF generators the size of two or three Cadillacs stacked atop one another, process gasses ranging from pyrophoric (don’t be lazy, just look it up) to carcinogenic, more acids than you can shake a silicon carbide coated molybdenum plate at (Why would you shake silicon carbide coated molybdenum plates at acids? Don’t ask, it’s a long story, which I may tell at another time.) and liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen, liquid argon, liquid liquid, liquid paper and anything else that can be liquefied. If you’ve got it, we’ve got a device like an industrial juiceman in the back that’ll liquefy it.
Okay, honestly, we don’t have Liquid Liquid or any other classic 80′s No Wave bands here, however I think this place would make for a terrible concert venue. Between the acoustics of the factory space, my disregard for the safety of concertgoers (see the “Who’s Who” of my workplace hazards above) and the fact that I can’t find a way to listen to more music than I already do at work, I think bringing a band onto the production floor is a bad idea.
Michael Bolton: “That is the worst idea I’ve ever heard in my life, Tom.”
