What you REALLY need is to use a Squidbillies episode. Seriously. (OK, not THAT seriously. But check it out.)

Take lessons off Dark_Respite and your dreams will come true :P

I am so going to steal these for the "CoVideo Hell" series I'm working on... hell, Steelclaw could probably come up with an entire volume's worth of material by himself!

I would also make a separate video of Mako doing Curlys Battle with the Clam Chowder routine.

I wouldn't mind a 'Who's on First' routine but who'd be Abbott and Costello?

You mentioned Billy Crystal and all I could think of was Manticore & Sister Psyche doing *that scene* from "When Harry Met Sally." Sadly, we don't have the animations to do the scene justice.

Honestly I was originally going to title this thread "If Dark_Respite were really serious..." and have the interior state "DR has called me her god in the past... if she were really serious she would offer these videos up as part of her tithe..." but I was concerned about either (a) you feeling like I was serious in any way, shape or form... or (b) others nagging you about making one or more of them...
See? I can be subtle... now you suggested it yourself and have no idea that I led you around to...
Oh ****...

What I picture is Scirroco and Wretch... Scirroco is blissfully ignorant of Wretch's confusion and honestly just trying to help..
Wretch doesn't have Costello's innocence.. instead he gets angrier and angrier the more confused he gets... finally he just totally loses it and grabs Scirroco...
"It no matter who on first!! Wretch hit home run!!"
And uppercuts Scirroco over the fence...

A nice use of a black "Censored" bar over her face would work...
Also, what would be a funny "bonus" to that scene would be to go to a black screen with white words on it that say... "Alternate Ending: What if Sister Psyche used her Psychic Powers to REALLY drive the point home?"
We return to the scene but this time every OTHER woman in the restaurant has a censored block over their face... I'm sure there's software to multiply the original voice to sound like a crowd..

I've always wanted a video done to Julie Brown's "Girl Fight Tonight!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVie2K-mMtc
but I've got no talent. I can't even decide on which characters to use in the video.
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

Failing getting permission to use them, Synapse and Positron.

Oddly enough, reading all this, I now have an image stuck in my head of Blue Steel singing "It's Hard to Be Humble" by Mac Davis.
I still want a video of Bill Z scrapping huge spawns to either Pantera's "Mouth For War" or "5 Minutes Alone."
Be well, people of CoH.
A lot of the things I think up while playing are purely visual in nature There are a number of videos I would construct if I had the knowledge of how to do such things.. so a new list
Videos Steelclaw Would Make If He Just Had More Talent
Or for my many detractors
Videos Steelclaw Would Make If He Had Any Talent At All:
I would take the song Back Streets Back by the Back Street Boys and make a five member Boy-Band video featuring Statesman, Positron, Back Alley Brawler, Synapse and Manticore. To fit the usual boy-band formula, Positron would be the sensitive one, Synapse would be the Funny one and Manticore would be the tough guy. Yes, the video would have choreographed dancing and screaming fan-girls.
I would get an old episode of the Three Stooges and record the sound track from it. I would then create a video to match the sound track using Lord Recluse as Moe, Scirroco as Larry and Captain Mako as Curly. (Mako as Curly fits mostly because of the voice of Jabberjaw from that late 70s cartoon show.) Recluse using his crab-arms for the slaps and whacks would be priceless. I would also make a separate video of Mako doing Curlys Battle with the Clam Chowder routine.
I would SO love to do a City of Heroes video for the song Particle Man by They Might Be Giants
Take some sound bites or perhaps a good solid section of sound track from MTV Cribs and put it to a tour of some of the rattier of the abandoned warehouses, derelict offices and such. Yeah, I have this deluxe ice maker to keep my drinks cold, yo to the back drop of certain rooms from the Frost Fire map, etc.
Splice together every conversation that Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker ever had with one another. Then use it as sound for Lord Recluse and Statesman with appropriate emotes.
Al Pacinos speech from the end of The Devils Advocate where he says God is an absentee landlord!. Nemesis is the one giving the speech. During his oration Blue Steel steps in behind him. Nemesis turns mutters an expletive a scene of unimaginable violence follows.
Back in the 80s Billy Crystal did a comedy song called You Look Mah-velous this would be the perfect song for a Malaise video.
Beginning of Wizard of Oz where the Mayor of Munchkin City (played by Lord Recluse) and one of the Councilors (played by Black Scorpion) are arguing about whether the Witch is dead until the Coroner (played by Scirroco) shows up to settle the matter. Ghost Widow plays the Witch. The voices coming out of those villains alone would crack me up, but add Widow standing there rolling her eyes at their antics and we have gold.
Video: Rikti. Audio: Marvin the Martian screaming about his Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator!
Video: Manticore courting Sister Psyche. Audio: Looney Tunes Pepe Le Pew in all his glory.
Video: Synapse running through Paragon City. Audio: Speedy Gonzalez. Needless to say Synapse would HAVE to end up at Paragons best Mexican Restaurant.
Audio: The theme music to Adam Wests 70s version of Batman. Video: A series of Batman clones appearing in Atlas Park. When the BAM! WHAP! POW! would normally have appeared on the screen the word GENERICD! does instead and the clone appears genericized. At the final na-na-na-na-NA BATMAN! of the sound track a hero appears wearing a baseball uniform and carrying a bat he is NOT genericd.
