heavy metal is the law
For those who still regards David Lynch as of one the greatest masters of surrealism in film, this video is gonna blow your head. Yes, it's the toughest guy of the 80's, and he is willing to teach how to be a better person! (you can't get better than this).From the opening song (just listen Mr T singing the chorus), to the last song (a hilarious rap song), Mr T gives you some bizarre tips for severe problems as anger, peer pressure, shyness and the like. What is more, all these situations become more and more surreal due to the erratic behavior of the host (the scene with the cello is creepy), who tries to show himself as a sensitive guy by not being sensitive at all(amazing huh?).Don't get me wrong, this is not just another 80's fest with bubblegum pop songs, break-dance moves, colorful clothes. On the contrary, this is an instructional video with bizarre situations, surreal dialogues, deep messages, forgotten glories from the past (New Edition), and of course, a guy named Mr T. I wish you could enjoy it, because for me it was to complex to understand.

I stumbled upon this gem from '84 back in October, and have watched it at least once a month since. It's a wonderful slice of 80s cream. It has it all - the hair, the fashion, the music.Mr T murders the English language and creates some of the most cringeworthy moments in cinematic history, but it's such fun! I have decided to follow the advice of T for the rest of the month... leg bends, star jumps, running on the spot every day! if i fall over or if my boss gives me hassle i'll do some break dancing. if i'm with a group of kids who suddenly run into the sea in all their clothes, i'll bound after them and try to trample the fat kid. and of course, i'll try to find my personal rap...Truly terrible, but so much so that it is excellent.

Perhaps the greatest work of American cinema in the last fifty years. Bravo T. You have constructed a work of genius that can be treasured be afficianados of film and children alike. Also T, thank you for teaching us such important lessons as; "Mother, there is no other."

Funniest video ever. Cheese-factor of a 1000. Pure 80s nostalgia. Out of print. Try eBay. Trat you mother right song is funny. Seeing T breakdance....or try to is even scarier. Some parts don't even make sense. But with T, you better respect, or he'll throw you hellva' far.
