Behold, one of my favorite Rock TVs ever, newly scraped off the archives floor!
Buster Fonz: How to Host the Perfect 4th of July BBQ
Of all the Rock TVs our ministry ever put together, this one is probably our most requested. Whether it’s the silliness of the Buster Fonz character, the exuberant hyper-patriotism, or the glorification of meat, there’s just something about this video that works. One of my projects for the summer is to clean up copyright issues on some older videos to make them internet-friendly, and this was the first one I got to work on.
Like all our videos, this Rock TV has its weak points. I think that the Presidential Fitness Test requirement for a grillmaster is funny as a tossed-off line, but not necessarily as an extended gag. This also isn’t the most visually compelling thing we’ve ever done. Having said that, of the 70-something Rock TVs out there, this has got to be in my top five.
Enjoy!
The door slamming and shade falling down in Leroy’s face is alone worth the price of admission. Would love to see it in slo-mo!
How ironic I posted it was one of the top 5 Rock TV’s before I read this post. LOL.
I enjoyed the extended Presidential fitness test. It brought back memories of elementary school I’d long forgotten.
The alien element just tickles your guts with laughter. Sheer brilliance.
I’d like to see a Rock TV with Buster Fonz staying at Count Awkward’s mansion along with an alien and having the president himself having to perform the presidential fitness test. Lofty dreams, I know.
I love it when the “women” line comes up and all the men crowd around her.
Huh. Some idiot apparently forgot to chop off the DVD player screensaver at the end there when they transferred this. He should be punched.
