To start (and possibly end) your Monday morning...

We have a... unique contribution to the Marvel Cinematic Universe

As we present

Whoever suggested this at Marvel Studios should either get a raise, or be shot... possibly both.

Is that ... a female version of the Orb?

[icon_uk]

Well. Alpha Centauri was under contract to the BBC...

[thatnickguy]

This is the greatest THING ever.

[goattoucher]

I'll tell you what, it is definitely a THING.

[leoboiko]

[randyripoff]

Umm....

I think it's time to go back to bed....

[janegray]

Both. Definitely both.

[agharta75]

Shot.

[every_spiegel]

Ah. So that's how they would ultimately defeat Thanos.

[mastermahan]

Disco Karen Gillen? Yeah, I'm down with that.

The really unsettling part is that I can remember at least one period-authentic prototype for this video:

I'll see your Sarah Brightman (pre being Mrs Lloyd-Weber) and raise you a Boney M

I should probably call a halt to this parade now, this way, nobody wins.

[lieut_kettch]

Oh, no, you didn't. You had to bring up Boney M. The only way to trump Boney M. is with DSCHINGHIS KHAN!

Also, I had no idea the Queen of the West End used to be a Disco Bunny.

[lilacsigil]

DSCHINGHIS KHAN! HA HA-HA HA-HA!

Oh dear God... Power Rangers: Eurovision Hell!!

[leoboiko]

Did anybody call the Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills?

[icon_uk]

Nobody EVER called the TTAFfBH... not even their mentor. who was an ACTUAL barrel full of snot.

(I'm reminded of a memorable line from one of the "S Club 7" series, where one member quits to join a boyband and is given a pastel purple lycra jumpsuit with flares and puffed sleeves "How do you feel?" he's asked. "Like a gay Power Ranger" is the slightly acerbic reply.)

[leoboiko]

I know we're supposed to be ironic and all but I honestly found that one pretty cool and fun.

As a child of the 70's I find it hard to look at these ironically, conversely I find it hard to look at them overly nostalgically.

The perpetrators of the following deliberately and cynically set out to create a perfect storm of British pop-cultural cheese--except that as an American child of the 70's, I regarded British pop culture as an exotic, magical place where anything could happen--and any point where Jean Genie's capsule(1) and the TARDIS might collide was a place I wanted to sign up for (2):

(1)It wasn't until considerably later that I learned of the existence of the Sweet's "Blockbuster" and the attendant who-stole-that-riff-from-whom-when (and hello, Muddy Waters?) wank.

(2) No doubt a stop aboard the Muumuu Land Special: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPjggN-KByI

[remial]

I can't look away...
I want to, but I can't

I feel like there is a comment about reshoots that can (should) be made here, but I can't think of what it would be, except no.

[shadwing]

My roommate couldn't understand why I was cackling like mad. So I showed her...she was very confused.

My work was done.

You're doing the Lord's work...

Not sure whether it's the Lord above, or the Dark Lord below, but you're doing their work in any event.
