Lyrics
[spoken dialogue from source]
At 0800 hours this morning, the Nazis stole the Eiffel Tower.
Nazi dinosaurs are popping up all over Europe.
Japan has completely disappeared.
Your mission is to take the uranium to Atlantis, use this weapon to destroy the Nazi monsters...
And as always, kill Hitler!

Fucking EXCELLENT.

I am rendered nearly speechless with the way you earnestly (and convincingly!) presented Danger 5 as a serious (if cracktastic!) contender in the genre that it's parodying, and in the process, managed to parody Danger 5 itself. (I did not think it was possible to parody Danger 5, and yet you have! And pulling that off is so absolutely true to the spirit of Danger 5, my face aches for grinning.)

And you did it while keeping in all the delightfully ridiculous WHAT-THE-HELL-WAS-THAT-ery of the show.

I ADORE THIS VID. :-D

(FYI, I made a vid rec post for it on tumblr.)

[jetpack_monkey]

I'm glad you liked it! I loved your Tucker vidlet. It was so him!

Thanks for the rec!

[sanguinity]

Aw, I'm glad you enjoyed that. :-)

[credoimprobus]

Okay, this show just went from "check out someday" on my list to "OMG WATCHING IMMEDIATELY STRAIGHT AWAY". (How wasn't I aware it was this kind of genre show? You have failed me, internet!)

This was ridiculous amounts of fun, and such a brilliant music choice! I love it. :D

[jetpack_monkey]

Danger 5 really is a sneaky, sneaky show. Bring on Season 2!

[seekingferret]

I love everything about this, but what I cannot get over is the dancing Mechs. OMG THE DANCING MECHS ARE THE BEST THING EVER. Thank you so much for making them dance! And for creating something that is so excellent at representing why Danger 5 is the best thing ever.

[jetpack_monkey]

So glad you liked it! I am also fond of the dancing mechs. Dancing mechs are kind of my Zen place.

[allandaros]

This is straight-up amazing. Well done!

Thanks!

[joyo]

YAAAAAAAS. I've seen a few eps, but this has convinced me to go and watch the rest of it. It is a serious show, and should be taken very seriously.

Also: Vidder, the Pierre reaction jump-cut at 1:16 made me CHOKE on a CORN PUFF and I ALMOST DIED. I hope you are happy. (I am)

[jetpack_monkey]

I would've been very sad if I'd killed you.

[condnsdmlk]

OMG SOLD IT! I suddenly have a NEED for this show in my life. I know nothing about it, but I now feel that I have been missing out in a very serious way. AMAZING!!!

[jetpack_monkey]

I would link you to the Hulu page, but it looks like you're not in the United States. Still, there are ways of getting it. Ways.

Thanks for watching!

[franzeska]

AHAHAHA!

[jetpack_monkey]

HEE!

[laurashapiro]

OMG, where has Danger 5 been all my life? Clearly this source will fill a gaping void in my soul.

Also, that was hilarious and brilliant. Loved your choices, especially the jump-cut zooms on the guy screaming. (:

[jetpack_monkey]

Here you go: Danger 5 on Hulu.

It's a fun show, although sometimes it plays with the problematic tropes of the 1960s spy genre in a way that doesn't entirely dissipate the problematic-ness.

[laurashapiro]

I appreciate the tip, and the link! The unbelievable goofiness is hard to resist.

[shati]

This is a moving and beautiful exploration of the human condition. Or possibly the tears in my eyes are from laughter. We may never be sure.

[jetpack_monkey]

Who can say? Only the stars. And the piano-playing bear.

[morbane]

That was such fun! You chose some of the very best of Hitler's scenes. And I may have muttered 'Ilsa, queen of my heart' in a very tumblr-ish way at some point. I was so sorry when this was over.

Also, thank you SO MUCH for converting others to this show, as the comments imply. More fandom please.

[jetpack_monkey]

Danger 5 needs all of the fandom!

Edit: Ilsa may be my favorite as well -- her and Pierre.

[sanguinity]

Ilsa and Pierre forever. <3 <3 <3

(She'll listen to his music recs, but not Jackson's!)

[cupidsbow]

What even is this show???? Hahahahaha.

[jetpack_monkey]

Bats**t crazy is what it is.
