Transcript

(The segment begins outside a train station and a train whistle is heard.)

(Scene goes to Alice and Martin acting their movie out)

Alice Dainard: Would you love me if I turned into a zombie?

Martin: I'd prefer if you turned into your sister!

(Martin turns around paper to show Elle's (Alice Actor) sister)

(Scene goes to the left to see Charles, Joe and Cary capturing the scene)

Charles Kaznyk: Cut! Perfect! I got it all here on my stupid-8.

(Scene goes to the left to J. J. Abrams)

J.J. Abrams: Cut! NOT PERFECT! This movie is called Super 8, not Stupid 8!

Charles Kaznyk: Then why are we using all this stupid old stuff?

J.J. Abrams: Because I'm trying to capture the feeling (Light starts to shine on him) of how I felt when I was a kid. (J.J. Abrams shoots away light) Now, say it right, or you'll be on the next train back to Unemploymentville.

Cary: He ain't kidding! (Whistle is heard blown) There it is, heading right for us.

(Scene goes to train coming right at the crew)

Charles Kaznyk: Ok. I'll say it right! I'll say it right!

(Train crashes into the crew and leaves the crew in a pile of Rubik's Cube)

Martin: Whoa. (Holds a Rubik's Cube) What is all this stuff?

Charles Kaznyk: I don't know, (Holds a Rubik's cube) but it looks super-dated.

J.J. Abrams: (Gasps) It's better. It's...

(Scene goes to latch and out comes Papa Smurf, Raphael and two people)

J.J. Abrams: SUPER 80'S!

(Title card: Super 80's)

(Scene resumes back to the crew still in the pile of Rubik's Cube and on fire)

Joe Lamb: (Holding an iPhone) Check it out, I caught the whole crash on my cell phone.

(Scene goes to the iPhone showing Seth Green driving a truck)

J.J. Abrams: Seth Green?

(iPhone zooms in on Seth Green)

Seth Green: (On the iPhone) If I can't have the 80's, nobody can! (Laughs)

(Train whistle blows and Seth Green crashes into a train causing a huge explosion)

(Scene goes back to the crew)

J.J. Abrams: Ok. No need to panic. As we've learned from Gandhi and E.T., things from the eighties are very peaceful.

(Donkey Kong with Mario on his back grabs J.J. Abrams and starts to hammer him making beeping sounds)

J.J. Abrams: (Screaming)

Charles Kaznyk: Poor J.J. Abrams. He was trying to capture the 80's, (Scene goes to J.J. Abrams being carried away by Donkey Kong, Mario, Lion-O, Allstar Seaworthy and Dimmy) but the 80's captured him.

(Scene resumes to the crew)

Joe Lamb: We have to stop the 80's from taking over the town!

Alice Dainard: (Standing Up) Why? Weren't the 80's fun?

Joe Lamb: Yes, but they also gave us Urkel (shows a picture of Steve Urkel) and ALF. (shows a picture of ALF)

(The crew starts to scream and run around)

(The scene goes to the city where people are being chased by Pac-Man)

Pac-Man: Waka-waka-waka!

(He-Man slicing cars, Care Bears holding torches while riding My Little Ponies)

People: (Screaming)

(Charles, Alice, Joe and Cary are seen running away)

(People's cars are starting to turn into GoBots)

Old Man: Oh, my gosh! It's a Transformer!

Red Gobot: Actually, I'm a Gobot.

Old Man: A What-Bot?

Red Gobot: A Gobot! Just like Transformers, only smaller, not as popular, and, uh... (cries) I wanna be a Transformer!

Alice Dainard: Look! It's Lady Gaga!

(Scene goes to Madonna dancing to techno music)

Joe Lamb: Nah. That's Madonna. I think she's the one Lady Gaga stole her act from.

Alice Dainard: So, I'm guessing that weird guy with the Hawaiian shirt is NOT Russell Brand.

(Scene goes to "Weird Al" Yankovic dancing to techno music too)

(Martin walks up to the group)

Martin: Guys, the air force sent in paratroopers!

Joe Lamb: Actually, I think those are just people (Scene goes to 3 men in parachute pants dancing) in parachute pants. That was big back then, too.

Alice Dainard: How do you know so much about the 80's?

Joe Lamb: My dad watches a lot of VH1.

(Scene goes to a television with Michael Ian Black.)

Michael Ian Black: (Laughs) It was a crazy time! And yes, this counts as television.

Joe Lamb: Everyone in town has been "cocooned" (Scene goes to cocooned Bill Cosby-type sweaters) in a Bill Cosby-type sweater. (Scene goes to J.J. Abrams) And look, there's J.J.

J.J. Abrams: Guys, I was able to communicate with them. The eighties aren't trying to hurt anyone. They just want to build a space ship to get back to where they belong. See?

(Scene goes to a volcano making a whirring sound and stops when a space ship pops out and flies and avoids Asteroids like the Asteroids video game and lands in Steven Spielberg’s house who opens the door)

Steven Spielberg: Ahh. Here's the eighties stuff I ordered.

(Scene goes to the left to show the group of kids)

Group of Kids: Steven Spielberg?

Joe Lamb: What do you need all this stuff for?

Steven Spielberg: Are you kidding me? Without the 80's, I don't have a career. Why else would I make Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull?

(Indiana Jones walks by the door whips his whip but causes his back to groan)

Indiana Jones: (Groans and walks out of sight.)

Steven Spielberg: Next, I'm going to make- are you ready for this? Batteries...Included.

J.J. Abrams: Not if I make it first!

(Scene goes to J.J. driving a truck really fast)

Steven Spielberg: J.J.! Wait! (Scene goes back to Steven and the kids) We can do it together! We can--

(Scene goes to J.J. Abrams driving and breaking through the fence and flying in the air.)

J.J. Abrams: Yee-haw!

(J.J. Abrams stops in mid-air and Narrator starts to talk)

Narrator: Now, don't you worry 'bout those director boys. I'm sure they'll work things out. And if you don't understand this endin', well, go ask your parents.

(J.J. Abrams' truck moves again and lands at the house causing a huge explosion and ending the segment)

Trivia

  • When Seth Green on the iPhone said nobody can have the 80's, he meant his show Robot Chicken where they parody stuff in the 80's over and over again.
  • The old man who calls a Red Gobot a "Transformer" has the same face as the patient from Mouse M.D., the announcer from Ko-Bee Movie and Eduardo Saverin's grandpa from The Social Netjerk.
  • When the spaceship left the volcano and flew over to Steven Spielberg’s house, it was similar to Asteroids because it also avoided Asteroids.
  • The ending of this segment is similar to the Dukes of Hazzard.
  • This was originally supposed to be Konan the Kardashian but the segment got moved over to Pirates of the Pair of Tweens / Konan the Kardashian as a television segment.

  • Third time the Smurfs appeared on MAD. The first was Avaturd and the second was RiOa.
  • In this short, put the Gobots instead of the transformers, however, was Transformers were created in 82, so it would have made sense to appear in this short.
