Wow. It started off as, "Ha ha, Reagan dubbed in Spanish," and then...
It was glorious.
Looking forward to the '30s coming back, too. Ten more years, eh?

Ah yes, nothing beats a fresh Hitler Youth bob and a stiff pair of horsehide jackboots on a Monday morning.

Nice, the tiled extermination shots made me giggle like mad for some reason.

Just to pick nits - An autoregressive series with a decaying lag period just approaches zero. It doesn't ever get there, and certainly doesn't go negative.

The sound effect in the last 15 seconds could have been done without, but otherwise awesome. :)

Also, covering the oceans in a thick layer of concrete would be very bad, but then again sometimes you let logic slide for comedy.

I'd watch the hell out of a Doctor Who episode that featured this story.

Oh my god, that just kept getting exponentially more surreal. I would like two vials of whatever substance this person has been ingesting.

sexyrobot :some people will say anything to avoid wearing the winter jumpsuit.
Actually, I kinda liked the jumpsuit.
No clue at all about what the thing at the left represented, though... Some kind of tree with a giant furry blue caterpillar wrapped around the top?
pupdog : Also, covering the oceans in a thick layer of concrete would be very bad
Yeah, but just think of how easily you could find a parking spot!

Meh. In Quebec, they've known about it for years and have slowly been preparing the population with vast quantities of a suitable anaesthetic.

Loved it. I always wondered what would make people in the future wear those jumpsuits, and now I know. Maybe we can get our flying cars by starting a supposition that ants are getting bigger and bigger each year.

This was our chance to go with a standardized silver jumpsuit. But no, they had to ruin that dream as well.

The fashion cycle catching up with itself wouldn't cause a paradox that destroys the universe. It would be the Fashion Singularity. No one can predict what it will look like, but it will certainly be wonderful.

Not if it stops at that powder-blue short-sleeved polyester jumpsuit from the 70's my dad still keeps in his closet...

I've been wearing a soviet flight suit, a 20lb onesie, from the Kruschev era pretty much every day this winter. I wonder if I'm tapping into something? Or more likely, it's tapping into me...

Are the subtitles inaccurate? Deliberately? I'm not sure I could cope with it being even funnier!

the accent and the tone of the voice are reminiscent of franco's
also the sporting the gijon scarf makes this go beyond awesome. Coming from a real oviedo supporter, this is saying a lot.
