WTF Dept: Mr. Belvedere as Bowser!
Author: Daniel Brooks April 18th, 2006Holy ’80s! In this unbelievable YouTube clip of an insane Nintendo-themed Ice Capades special, hosted by…wait for it…both Jason Bateman AND Alyssa Milano, Bowser comes to life as…a singing, ice skating Mr. Belvedere! You’ve gotta see it to believe it.
Spread the word!

This MUST be the career lowpoint for everyone involved… and that’s even with the assumption that the guys in the Mario and Luigi outfits have done fetish porn…

Sam was so hot.

80s = everything and everyone on crack

This may have been before white people actually had crack and were still stuck on plain old cocaine. You heard Bateman saying somthing about being “keyed up”…
The 1980s: a highpoint for sweaters!

Am I the only person that was expecting some sort of Sha Na Na thing?
April 18th, 2006 at 4:59 pm
Yes.

I too was expecting Sha-na-na. I was, needless to say, slightly disappointed.

It would be pretty rad if Sha Na Na Bowser was in Super Marion Bros.

That is SPECTACULAR. I’m so stealing it for my blog, too. I must have it.
And, yes, I thought Sha-Na-Na, too. Was that 80s, or 70s, though?

Augs,
I think a little bit of both.

Yeah, I think they started in the late 60s (check the Woodstock movie), had their own show in the late 70s after “Grease” blew up, and then petered out in the early 80s. I seem to remember seeing them on Solid Gold…but maybe that was some weird ass dream.
Sincerely,

I used to get pissed at my parents at the end of the show because my parents wouldn’t freeze in mid air.
My parents have had dinner at Bowser’s house a few times, he’s a friend of a friend.

Did they ever make him do the fist-flex-with-the-mouth-open thing?
April 19th, 2006 at 2:05 pm
I dunno. I wasn’t invited.
April 19th, 2006 at 4:31 pm
I don’t know what any of you are talking about.
