Teh Internets "Beauty and the BEAT!"

Posted by David Schmader on Thu, Jun 28, 2012 at 9:42 AM

From Todrick Hall, a former American Idol contestant and up-and-coming comedy video artist, comes this incredibly intricate, stereotype-packed spin on the opening scene of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. It's incredible.

Still...

I want to know how Disney hasn't sued him yet.

I thought that was great. Really well done on everyone's parts, getting those finish-my-sentence bits down. And Antoine Dodson! That guy!

That was good. One of the extras was another Idol alum, Vonzell Solomon, though I didn't realize it was her until the end credits.

All polls need a "you're over thinking it" option. An analytical mind is great, but if you really can't turn it off... well, then everything pretty much sucks for one reason or another.

That was really well-done, and I've kinda watched it four or five times now. I keep catching new things--the amazing paint job in the windows of the nail salon, Belle curtsying grandly at a man in a dumpster, the exchange "Bonjour!" "What'd you call me?!"

The person who responds to "I need six legs" with "That's too expensive!" looks just like Miss J from America's Next Top Model, doesn't she? I wonder if that was a cameo--nobody in that costume appears again in the rest of the video.

Ripping off a 30 year old Go-Go's album for the title? Comedy genius!

there needs to be a "not racist, but not funny" option.

well made in every other respect, but crackheads looking to score a hit in the ghetto is only funny for so long.

Cute, but I probably won't watch it again.
