Oct 14 2008A-Ha's Take On Me, The Literal Version
Even after 23 years, A-Ha's Take on Me music video remains one of the best ever made. And, in late celebration, somebody went and made a literal translation of it, complete with subtitles. Definitely worth a viewing. I love the "this guy's gonna get an ass full of pipe wrench" at the 2:33 mark. Awesome. I wish I could climb in and out of drawings. Because then I'd, well, draw myself a big-breasted lady friend. Yeah, with no mouth. Wait, need a mouth. Okay, no teeth. Oh shit, or voice box.

Thanks to Bill, who claims to have crawled into a comic book and had sex with Catwoman.

That is awesome...
#1, cant watch videos at work... so you laughing at the futility of the restrictions you have cause someone prolly watched porn.

@Thumperchica, My friends and I made a comic book out of the pictures of your open asshole. It was fun drawing dialouge and thought bubbles in the form of farts and poop.
No, I don't get videos at work either. Why do you ask?

So good!

Actually, I'm not sure about pron, but i do know that whenever our restrictions are lifted (usually after a major network change) some moron downloads a virus within 3 hours... So we're stuck, this is one of the few sites I can access, let alone comment on... but I can't ever see the damned videos...

Ahhhhhhhh horrible music!!!
the 80's had great stuff..
what the hell is this?! who wants to listen to a blind guy's translation of whats happening in the music video?
"show this guy then cut back to these two- you go through first- I'm gonna kick some ass with my own pipe wrench"
11. Popadopolis - October 14, 2008 1:59 PM
Yeah, I can't see the videos here either, Thumper. I feel ya.
Oh, and GW, just because she doesn't have teeth doesn't mean she can't gnaw/gum your dick off. Trust me, you'd rather have an appendage removed with a sharp knife than a dull one.

Fake!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell, the shadows are all wrong.
It looks like someone was trying to recreate the pipe wrench/race scene from Never Back Down.

"one of the best ever made"???

I loved it. You guys may just be too young to appreciate it. I am not. Unfortunately. You know, when I was young, it was considered cool to dance to that song. Then again, for some time we all wanted to be like Freddie Mercury. By the way, do you know Limahl? Becuase Limahl is real 80s trash. This Swedish band actually is quite good. But tres, tres 80s. The video, however, was groundbreaking, you should at least see that.

Greatest video ever. My clitoris is erect.
16. Atrides - October 14, 2008 3:17 PM
That was really well done.

I'm not even that old (not old enough, anyway,) and I thought this was pretty hilarious.
Band montage!

"This Swedish band actually is quite good."
SWEDISH?!?!?!?
This is one of a few acts out of Norway who actually reached some sort of world-fame...
And no, Norway is not the capital of Sweden if you're wondering....
Perhaps menotrouble was a typo for memotrouble??
Ohh, nearly forgot: Loved this version!

There needs to be lots more of these. Although I suspect they will wind up being banned (read: made viral) like the 'shreds' videos, once the artists find out what is being done to their 'work'.
Q: Do people have to sign away their sense of humor to get a record deal?
23. menotrouble - October 15, 2008 5:25 AM
Well, gert, you know, it's been a while...
Next time, I will make it "Scandinavian", so I can't mess it up again.
Sorry about hurting Norwegian pride.
BY the way, save the whales.
24. gert - October 15, 2008 6:25 AM
I felt obliged to point it out, lol
As for the whales, save them, the meat is not even tasty!
And they're fun to watch. Alive that is, in the ocean, not in an aquarium....
