I'm looking for a spoon to carve out the portion of my brain that has acknowledged ever watching this stupid thing.

"stupid"? It's awesome! Every minute is more jaw-dropping than the last!

Having learned to balance a bag of popcorn on my head, I shall forever be grateful to Mr. T.

It's like a horrible car accident. I couldn't turn it off, no matter how much I wanted to.

Mr T "singing!" and "rapping!" about his mom! What more could you want?

From the very opening moments with that kid in suspenders dancing around to the popcorn-on-head workout, the "is this a spoof?" ambiance is brilliantly maintained! And it even ends with the reassuring message that Mr T will be there for us every time we rewind the tape! Hooray!

If only it had been a spoof--I'm afraid this is meant to be serious. Like Mone, I was riveted by the un-waivering crap factor.

It's not crap, it's kitsch. How beautifully un-self-concious is the suspenders kid's dance?

"Wear your own name." And they do! Frankly, I'm amazed that never caught on.
