What the world needs now

[Kyle]

is the return of MC Hammer. Please do yourself a favor and watch all 14 minutes of the 2 Legit 2 Quit video. Seriously.

A short list of the celebrities in it: Jim Belushi (playing a news reporter); Danny Glover; David Faustino; Donny Wahlberg and Marky Mark (billed as Marky Mark); Tony Danza; Easy E; Deone Sanders; Barry Sobel; Queen Latifah; Milli AND Vanilli (RIP); and Henry Winkler.

Y'all, not only does this have some crazy-ass dancing in letter jackets with shorts, but it has JAMES BROWN THROWING FIREBALLS FROM A GOLDEN THRONE!

Enough. For real. Watch the whole thing.

Kyle's right. Friggin epic.

Ok James Brown saying "get up-pah" made me chuckle. I didn't remember the video that well but do remember that this was a big big deal and the 2L2Quit hand signage was popular in school for a time afterwards -- I could have done it from memory. I'm kinda confused how Hammer fell so spectacularly after this. This was his big "I'm not a fad" moment and he passed it, but how did he still collapse so soon after?

[Mike]

Perhaps he needed a beverage to get it started?

Goddamn it. That’s funny.

Barry Sobel's finest hour.

This was pretty darn epic. That fire scene is pretty much what I do every morning when I wake up, except I just do it to myself, with a lot of dogs.

[Kyle]

I'm so happy that y'all appreciate this as much as I did!

Also the world needs love, Sweet love, and a renewed commitment to defeat both Covid and epistemic relativism.
