hahahahahaha – hysterical parody of Brokeback Mountain using footage from the movie 1776 – I love when it gets all slo-mo and romantic. I practically know 1776 by heart (“But I burn, Mr. A!!” “So do I!”) – so the clips they pick, out of context, work perfectly. Funny!!!
Found the video here, naturally – and he relates one of my favorite stories from the early days of the American Revolution – of John Adams and Benjamin Franklin sleeping in the same bed, and arguing about whether or not night air is good or bad for you. It’s just such a funny image to me – these two Founding Fathers bickering through the darkness. (It’s not as funny as Ben Franklin suggesting they fight the war using bows and arrows … and the other dudes all being like, “Uhm, Ben? We have cannonballs and stuff now? Sooooo … thanks for sharing … but no.” – but ALMOST as funny.)
That video is SO WRONG. But also SO FUNNY.
Hmmm, maybe Tom played more than just the violin….
