Wycket 36 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 So I was watching last week's episode of the Whitest Kids U'Know, and what did I see after the credits but a sketch about this site's namesake, John Williams. For those unfamiliar with the show, its a bunch of 5-6 guys sort-of like Monty Python but not nearly as funny. Most of their sketches are hit and miss, this one not being the exception, but the sketch itself lasted a good 4-5 minutes. The premise was of Williams being commissioned by George Lucas to come up with a theme for a Star Wars/Indy crossover and the composer's quest to come up with the perfect theme to fit a film of this magnitude.Again, it wasn't the funniest thing I've ever seen from these guys, but I figured you guys would be interested. For anyone interested, it the the episode that first aired on April 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,495 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hmmm, I don't know...it was moderately funny up to one point; just before Williams has a "shouting match" with his wife. After that, it drags out and just becomes grating. I'm also not sure it is meant as a positive parody; it mostly seems to be a put-down of his music.So not my thing. But nice to see him appear in popular culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 153 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hehe, nice idea. They kind of missed some good opportunities though there - like putting him in the shower with his turtleneck or missing the Boom-tzz among the pom-poms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Started out good, ended up shit. Well, apart from the ppp pom pom bit at the end - which was actually a very good mimic of the JW style.Nonetheless, nonsense like this pleases me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,495 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yes, it was posted before and I still don't find it particularly funny. After about midway, it just becomes grating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,495 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 It has been posted before. It's funny for the first couple of minutes, then it just becomes insanely annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
