Mr. T's Be Somebody, or Be Somebody's Fool
Part of the Mr. T Webring
Made in 1984, this "educational" video teaches kids such great things as "use anger, don't lose it!"; if you're walking down the street and you fall down, just start break dancing so no one will know you fell; one great way to get in shape is to run into the Pacific ocean while fully dressed.
And let's not forget about the amazing fashion show. Using Zen-like logic, Mr. T. tells the kids that Calvin Klein would never wear clothes with their names on it, so they shouldn't wear clothes with his name on it. Mr. T instructs them to tape their names over the brand names and do interpretational dancing for things like "here they are getting ready for that exciting walk to the grocery store!" BONUS TRACKS: DVD also includes self-made celebrity videos by Gary Coleman (For Safeties Sake & Corey Haim (Me Myself & I). Mr. Koko just bought this DVD off eBay. Soon we will be as wise and sensible as Mr. T. Then look out, suckas!

An excerpt was previously posted here.

You can also check out Mssr. T's new comic. I believe it just came out this past Wednesday.
-
Dude.. I totally own this album on vinyl. I wonder how much people would pay for it?
-
Oh, people are going to PAY for that! They'll PAY!
-
Oh, how Mr. T makes me yearn for the simpler days of the Internet...
-
Yeah, makes me all misty-eyed.
-
I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned either here or in the previous Mr. T thread, but Seanbaby reviews the video here. There are some video excerpts, too, in realvideo format.
-
Be surprised no more. I linked the review, and its availability on ebay.
-
If only I could live the rest of my life without ever hearing about Mr. T again.
-
D'oh! Sorry, PY - I scanned the thread just now but missed it. All credit and attributions are now hereby conferred unto you, with their attendant responsibilities and liabilities.
-
I hate Mr.T
-
Whatever, "mad dog" - just get in the fucking van already.
-
I pity the fool who hates Mr. T.
-
You can buy it here, on DVD-R. $20 might seem pricey, but bear in mind that it comes with bonus features: Gary Coleman's For Safety's Sake and Cory Haim's Me, Myself, and I. If I were a rich man, I'd own 5 Minutes to Live's entire catalog. *deebie-deebie-deebie-dum...*
