Great vid! :D :D

[thingswithwings]

That was so cute! Great song choice, lots of fun, yay!

[gwyn]

OMG, Festividder, this is so amazing and wonderful and ULTIMATE!!! I laughed out loud in a whole bunch of places, and let me tell you, that does not often happen. It's a perfect song for the absurdity of this show, and also you managed to capture the warmth and sweetness in it too, which with a song like this is a considerable feat. I loved the Indiana Jones line on Ida's exploding head, and I snorted my drink when it came up again for the Middleman's Snake Plissken alter ego. OMG, so, so fun and this really made what's been a bad time for me so much better. I can't thank you enough, what a treasure.

This is so adorable! Snappy editing and really perfect song choice.

[shati]

This is fantastic -- great song choice (and editing -- Ultimate Showdown can't be that easy to vid to without falling into a predictable rhythm, which this didn't) and encapsulation of the show.

[revolutionaryjo]

Perfect song choice is PERFECT. This vid is so much fun! :D

[thirdblindmouse]

This song must be theme for the series, or something like that. So many hearts for this vid! Some of my favourite moments were "as far as the eye could see" at 00:51, the following "ultimate destiny" sequence, "Care Bear stare" at 01:42, red rover at 1:47, "Indiana Jones" at 2:15, and the boy band at 2:54.

This made me want to bust out my MM dvds!

[cereta]

This is AWESOME!

[leanwellback]

Not familiar with the source, but I had to see a vid made to this song, because yes. And now I need to watch this show immediately and watch this vid over and over :D AMAZING.

[tree]

WENDY WATSON = CHUCK NORRIS. also you included roxy, yay!

vidder, you win all the internets for this.

[serrico]

Hee! Goofy and *very* fun. :)

[mlyn]

Holy crap this is GENIUS. I am agog at the amount of work that must have gone into this—starting with finding such a wacked-out song and making it work. Great job.

[ladysorka]

This put the biggest smile on my face. You included everything that makes Middleman so incredibly awesome and you used the song amazingly well. I love this.

[catwalksalone]

Oh, BRILLIANT!

And now I have a massive desire to go and rewatch the whole series. Thank you!

[metonymy]

Nostalgia bomb with the song choice! Exceedingly well done, I was grinning the whole time.

[eruthros]

This is a ton of fun!

[ghost_lingering]

Oh man, this is AWESOME. It's like everything great about MM in three and a half minutes! One of my favorite MM vids ever, most definitely.

[echan]

Such a brilliant use of this song! Totally epic, squeezing in so many crazy characters. The clip at 0:51 is PERFECT.

[saekhwa]

Hee! A super fun vid to watch!

[usuallyhats]

This vid made me ridiculously happy!

[actiaslunaris]

This is my first look at this show ever and it's shot way up my to-watch list. So much fun! So much mayhem! I particularly enjoyed the parallel universe section, that was awesome.

[stewardess]

MIDDLEMAN RECRUITMENT VID FOUND.

[bop_radar]

Brilliantly captures the spirit of the show--I love it!!

[skygiants]

This is the ultimate Middleman rec vid of ultimate destiny!

[potted_music]

The vid is adorable, as is Wendy's "thoroughly unimpressed with the universe" face <3

[petra]

This fills my heart with Middleman-tastic GLEE.

[bessyboo]

This is crazy impressive and crazy AWESOME :D

[china_shop]

Hee! A hilarious song, and you totally worked it! Love all the monsters and Wendy kicking ass (Natalie Morales, how so awesome?) -- and I'm wildly entertained to see Mark Shepherd in there too (is there a contract somewhere that says he has to be in everything? HEE!). SO MUCH FUN!

[franzeska]

LOLOLOL All of them were on that?! Man, I really did miss out not watching this show.
