Brilliant. That is truly terrifying. The reaction shots are priceless. And such a happy ending.
I guess this gut is the next “hitler in the bunker” or “rick roll” it is the 2nd time I have seen him mashed into a video and I guess their are many more I have missed (in relief).
Great. Now I’ve got that song going through my head.
duh, just noticed the sputnik, nice touch.
“In America, you turn off man on radio. In Soviet Russia, man on radio turns off you!”
Interesting story: This is the guy who taught Ashley Simpson how to lip-synch.
I’d prefer being on his planet rather than the Space Hippies.
I love the singer’s rapturous “ain’t I cool?” expression. He really thinks he’s the bee’s knees. I could sing like that if I were drunk enough.
“Captain’s Log, stardate 5732.1 . . . having destroyed the alien Trololol satellite that was earworming planet Omicron Alpha IV, the Enterprise is proceeding at warp speed to the Tantalus colony in response to a garbled distress call. All we know is that the planet is suffering from an epidemic of something called . . . ‘Chocolate Rain.’”
Why I love the internet: could find the answer to “What the heck was that?” in about a minute, also found an older version of this in a b&w clip on youtube, can’t help but think Andy Kaufman was channelling this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0HfCSFtmzY.
CANNOT believe no one has posted these in a reply: (!)

-Shatner trips out…
And now for Nimoy:

Residents of Middle Earth: Be Afraid. VERY AFRAID.
I promise- no “Star Wars Christmas Special” links.
Impressive editing. Looks like the clips are all from the CGI remastered episodes. The timing on the expressions was priceless.
browniejr…Oh…those were painful…couldn’t watch to completion…
It made me think of Sandler & Young and the SCTV parody of same.
I prefer Fight Music, Herbert.
Someone has way too much time on their hands, but well done.
I’ve already seen the Nimoy/Hobbit song–once is enough.
Arg. Just… arg. Now I need to go watch “Road Warrior” or “Bubblegum Crisis” or “AD Police” to clear my palate.
Dear God. Kirk discovered the Planet of Plastic Slavs With Bad Hair. I hope they aren’t able to backtrack to us.
The reactions around 1:50 had me unable to breathe!
Shatner’s reaction at 2:29 literally made me laugh out loud. Awesome!
@juanito- John Davey: “2000 quatloos on the newcomers!”
@ browniejr:
I used to be unable to watch the Star Wars Christmas Special. The Rifftrax version has made me love it and watch it every year. That and trying to guess which “star” is the most coked-up (best answer: Carrie Fisher), Almost as funny as “Pink Five”.
Hey – Happy Life Day, everybody.
Is there any way to lose this again?

Sorry Bob, this is the only way:

It only hurts for a minute.
?
Who is that guy? Hasselhoff’s predecessor? Or what?
Where are his eyebrows?
Well I have new respect for Shatner for his ability to make him disappear.
60s TV at its best and worst, simultaneously.
it took 17 jabs of my head with the ice pick, but I’m starting to feel better.
Mike Nelson has to see this! It’s almost funnier than anything he’s done on MST3K. There’s enough polyester in that sequence to reach to infinity…and beyond!
My God, it goes on forever…….and it’s not full of stars….
One of the great moments in Futurama occurs in its parody of the Star Trek episode Amok Time (where Spock has to return to Vulcan to mate or die). Dr. Zoidberg suffers a similar fate and has to return to his home planet (Decapod 10) for a similar mating ritual, where his love interest takes a liking to Fry. Zoidberg challenges Fry to a battle to the death (Claw-Plock) for the hand of the lovely lady, but before the combat begins they pause for the national anthem of Decapod 10 — the “fight music” from Star Trek.
Very nicely done, I thought it was great the way the reaction shots fitted in perfectly.
Of course Kirk did violate the Prime Directive at the end of this . . .
Other versions of the video show a “1976″ chyron; given the suit he was wearing, it looks about right.
But lest we are too hard on Plastic Creepy Soviet Man, remember that at the same time on our side of the Iron Curtain we were singing along with “Afternoon Delight.”
Come to think of it, this wasn’t too far removed from what was playing on “The Lawrence Welk Show”
Tank you, Boyce. And now a word from Haley’s M-O…
Ugh. I want that time back.
I was inflicted with the non-doctored version yesterday. This was good therapy–thanks!
I have no problem with Afternoon Delight…
Oh, you meant the song! Never mind!
…words fail…

Well as long as we’re posting Star Trek-based strange foreign music video… don’t forget Starship Edelweiss!

“60s TV at its best and worst, simultaneously.”
Not really. I’d say both shows are about equivalent.
Thanks RLR for posting the Wikipedia page; I really had no idea where to start. Wikipedia says this “Trolololololo” fiasco has become an Internet meme, but I always seem to be out of touch with that sort of thing.
I sat gape mouthed so long I drooled on my shirt.
I figured it out, Trolo bet his friends he could sing an entire standard pop song without moving the lower part of his face and it was so popular he wound up on Hullabaloo
Only now, forty years later, do we discover the cultural vampire that sucked the life out of the ’70s.
