Blake's 7 Very Silly Fanvids

[thisbluespirit]

I apologise for the spammage tonight, but let's not end on a sour note:

I found this, and thought it was one of the funnest vid's I'd seen, especially for B7 - there aren't many things like this for that fandom.

Bernard Cribbins's Right Said Fred and the Liberator Crew:

And then I saw this by the same vidder, and laughed rather more than I have for a good while. I leave it to everyone else to choose between the two:

Yes, Benny Hill, Blake, Cally and Avon. Who'd have thought it?

*dies* I think I'll go with the second one, simply because that song sounds like a parody of Lorne Greene's "Ringo," which has always made me laugh hysterically, though the effect was entirely unintentional. (Sorry, Lorne.) *evil grin*

Yes, my vote's on the second one, too. On the other hand ' Right said Fred' :lol: I am looking forward to seeing the rest of this person's vids. I was happy enough to find they'd done a Vila tribute... and then this.

The song is by Benny Hill, a 1970s UK comedian that ... we'd probably mostly prefer to forget. And it very likely is a parody of something like that. I could comment more coherently had I been older when Benny Hill was around, and if I knew Ringo. Possibly. I am rarely fully coherent. ;-)

Oh, I'm well aware of Benny Hill; I watched a whole batch of his stuff... so many years ago. I couldn't help it, what can I say? :-)

"Ringo" must be out there somewhere, along with Greene performing the lyrics to the "Bonanza" theme (again, too funny)... Anyway, I've heard other parodies of it, including "Irving," about a very Jewish cowboy who was the 142nd fastest gun in the West!

You know more than me - I just have a vague memory of it from very young days. :-)

I'm sure it must. However, first, it is clearly imperative that I watch all this vidder's other B7 vids. Sounds like a mission I can take...

I know! I was thrilled. And had to share, obviously. :-D
