Let the 80s Be

This promo for a Norwegian TV show has been making the rounds on the internet, but in case you haven't seen it, you must watch.  It's the most amazing, bizarre collection of 80s and 90s pop culture imaginable.  I was completely unaware of it until LC NY Bureau Chief Doug sent it to me:



Kathleen Turner!  Half of Milli Vanilli!  LA Law's most obscure character!  Tonya Harding!  Together at last!  Do you think Glenn Close knew she was going to be appearing with Bud Bundy?  Did somebody tell Kathleen Turner that she'd be in a group sing-a-long with Freddy Krueger?  I must say that Ana Alicia looked amazing especially considering how long ago Falcon Crest was.  Ditto for Philip Michael Thomas and the Twin Peaks girls.  Wasn't Kelly McGillis pretty?  OK, now watch the Cracked version with unauthorized subtitles:

Norwegians Take Punk'd To A Whole New Level
The Norwegian television show, Gylne Tider, pulled off a trick worthy of a Borat or Bruno movie. The show convinced the most random set of actors, actresses and singers EVER to sing Let It Be in a We Are The World type thing with a variety of green screens in the background. They told everyone it was for charity, but David Faustino says it was not. None of the other stars, nor the television show itself will give the answer. In just a few days though, the show managed to get stars like Glenn Close, Jason Alexander, and Roger Moore to all participate. Of course it might not have even been for the charity. Maybe the television show was offering free lefse and lutefisk. Well, not the lutefisk.
