Have a wine cooler on us!

Your Studio and You. (google video, 14 mins). A short parody of Universal Studios by Matt Parker and Trey Stone in deadpan (and spot-on) 1950s-educational-film style. Very funny cameos by Steven Spielberg, Demi Moore, Tracy Lords, James Cameron, Michael J. Fox, and Sylvester Stallone, among others.
Very "authentic"-looking... I LOLed when I saw the "Howard The Duck" poster.

What prompted this, I wonder? Besides a love of wine coolers.

I like how they keep showing the Jaws shark every time they say "Old and stupid". And the porcelain deer. And all the bits with Sly, especially at the end.

It also has a number of executives I've worked with in it, which is why I find it funny. Offscreen they are the alpha male, onscreen they are the ultimate stiffy. They are never happy to discover you have watched it.

I've never had such a desire for a wine cooler before.

Couldn't help but notice that most of the talent are now has beens (comparitively) but many of the creatives ('cept for Hughes and Singleton) are pretty much still going strong.

Err... what?
Has beens?
By any account Demi Moore, Michael J. Fox, and Sylvester Stallone are movie stars.

Oh man, I posted this to mefi in 1999 or 2000 and the site it was hosted on went down soon after. Every six months or so I look for it, but I can never find it, so thanks for posting it!

This is kinda like going to someone else's company Christmas party. A bunch of lame corporate in-jokes.

I first saw the video in June of 1997, when I was training to be a tour guide at Universal Studios. (To be clear--one of the guys in my training cohort had a purloined copy on DVD; it was not an official part of our indoctrination.) Fully immersed in the lore of Universal and oh-so-excited to become a guide, I thought the video was perhaps the funniest thing I'd ever seen. Little did I know that a mere eight weeks later, I'd be wishing that I, too, could refer to Jaws as "old and stupid." And ten years later? Yeah, it still makes me laugh, but that might just be nostalgia.
