Absolutely astounding.
September 8th, 2006 at 11:19 am
Moooooontang.
Brilliant from start to finish. What’s the funky music at the end?
September 8th, 2006 at 1:34 pm
Um, just so you know…
The last time we see Adam, he stays on screen for a little longer than he should and ends up…. ON THE MOON!
Maybe he was just hoping for a little moon-tang himself.
Sweet sweet moon-tang.
September 8th, 2006 at 1:37 pm
I’d like to visit the moon, but I don’t think I’d like to live there.
September 8th, 2006 at 1:46 pm
yummm
sweet sweet moontang
September 8th, 2006 at 2:02 pm
It’s not a gay thing… it’s a moon thing!
September 8th, 2006 at 3:39 pm

moontang!
(a word i’ll use every day)
September 8th, 2006 at 3:39 pm
I just learned something, people in Houston love to walk backwards. I loved the comedy in this one, and the backwards walking.
September 8th, 2006 at 3:51 pm
bahaha, that was amazing. I want to go to a moon strip club
September 8th, 2006 at 3:59 pm

September 8th, 2006 at 4:06 pm
” You took pictures, you collected rock samples ” … lol

September 8th, 2006 at 4:19 pm

Keep up the good work!
September 8th, 2006 at 4:38 pm

September 8th, 2006 at 4:42 pm
Great sketch as usual guys!
“You can’t build a strip club on the moon!
Why not?
So many reasons!!!”
By the way, what is that music playing at then end, through the en-tro? You guys always pick the best music for your videos! Good luck, and I can’t wait until Monday for a new sketch! Fuck Tusdays!

September 8th, 2006 at 5:55 pm
Congratulations zac, for being the first nerd to recognize Gamera!
And yes, there are a few video glitches in the current version — I’ll be posting a tweaked version tonight after I get back from today’s shoot.
September 8th, 2006 at 6:14 pm
HOW DIDNT ANYONE GET GAMERA?!?!

:[ fairly sad
September 8th, 2006 at 7:32 pm
End Music - The always amazing Ratatat’s Lex of their rocking new album Classics. Adam, Asif, and I just recently saw them live here in NYC and they were seriously awesome, definitely check them out if they come near you

September 8th, 2006 at 8:03 pm

September 9th, 2006 at 3:51 am
God bless you, Zacharia. You are the ideal audience member.
September 9th, 2006 at 7:38 am

September 9th, 2006 at 12:29 pm

September 9th, 2006 at 12:35 pm
I also noticed the clipon, I had to read all of the comments to see if anyone else did. that was so funny. What movie was the monster from?
September 9th, 2006 at 12:46 pm
The monster is Gamera, my favorite turtle. :P
September 9th, 2006 at 1:07 pm
i can top zack, i think that that clip of gamera is from gamera vs zigra.
September 9th, 2006 at 3:05 pm
Bryan — you’re right!
September 9th, 2006 at 3:25 pm
But how could you KILL Gamera?! He’s a friend to children!
September 9th, 2006 at 3:45 pm
your sketches keep getting better and better!
September 9th, 2006 at 4:41 pm
I love the instantaneous missile to the moon, completely obviating the need for a weeks long moon mission. Nice one!
September 9th, 2006 at 5:28 pm
Very funny, best new sketch in awhile. Meloves it, OE.
September 9th, 2006 at 9:05 pm
Kickass!
September 9th, 2006 at 9:07 pm
haha that was helarious, good stuff right there
September 9th, 2006 at 10:52 pm
TOUGI!!!!! YOU MAKE ME THINK SESAME STREET!!! ERNIEEEEEE!!!
September 9th, 2006 at 11:15 pm
I can’t say for sure whether anyone was able to identify Gamera before zac the bear, but he got praise for being the first to advertise his knowledge. I don’t know if that’s right. However, the praise was awarded by Olde English member Adam, and since I am but a lowly visitor to these forms, I’m going to participate in the age-old tradition of “If ya can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” and give Potato a virtual high-five.
You’ve earned it, buddy.
September 9th, 2006 at 11:17 pm
Wait - forms? That’s not it. It’s not a forum without U!
September 9th, 2006 at 11:21 pm
And as long as I’m correcting myself, I should have written, “this forum.” I need to proofread my comments before submission.
Ha! Proofreading on the Internet!
September 10th, 2006 at 4:41 am
Best one you’ve ever done. Keep up the good work guys. This was the funniest stuff yet!
September 10th, 2006 at 4:44 am
This is without doubt my favorite sketch. I’ve actually been around Olde English for a long time, real long time. But i have never made my presence obvious. I’ve even talked with Adam and seen him around 14th by Wendy’s. You know the one. Especially that time you looked really pissed and just marched in there.
ANYWAY! I just needed to know what the song at the end of the clip was. I’ve heard it before but i just need to get it. Thanks.
September 10th, 2006 at 2:33 pm
moon-tang
September 10th, 2006 at 7:17 pm
You guys can have some of my moontang any time.
Fantastic as allways
September 10th, 2006 at 10:31 pm
Really really brilliant writing and dialogue on this one guys. Well Done!
September 10th, 2006 at 10:34 pm
I jizzed MY spacesuit when I heard the word Moontang. But seriously guys, its hard to clean the jizz out of your suit when you’re in space. It gets cold and sticky and all… uncomfortable. Thanks for the laughs.
September 12th, 2006 at 12:13 am
I’ll probably elaborate later, but for now, THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!!
September 12th, 2006 at 10:01 pm
Wow! those are really sweet Icons !
September 13th, 2006 at 8:24 pm
lol moontang
September 19th, 2006 at 5:47 pm
I live in Houston!
September 23rd, 2006 at 1:37 pm
Bouy -o- Boy, OE, If only we could tap into your genious, bottle it, mass produce it, sell it, then deny any affiliation or royaltys to you guys; we would be a happy happy planet. SUCKA!
September 24th, 2006 at 11:10 am

October 28th, 2006 at 9:55 am
Yes Ana (comment 65), it is Ratatat and the song is called Lex. I got it from My Old Kentucky Blog 7 Aug 2006.
October 29th, 2006 at 11:48 am
Watching this at work was the perfect break. I’m not married but every coworker of mine that is now wants to go to the moon. lol. Absolutely brilliant
November 8th, 2006 at 2:26 am
@Roni: It’s a moon thing, you earth queers don’t get it.
November 12th, 2006 at 8:04 pm
Hahahahaha, This one was really funny. Not as funny as alot of the others, But still very funny. Keep it up :)
November 15th, 2006 at 4:13 pm
I was gay on the moon.
November 28th, 2006 at 8:43 pm
Lets Build a Strip club! LOL!!!! You took picture, rocksamples L-O-L!!!
November 29th, 2006 at 5:00 pm
Hahaha, that was pretty awsome.
My favorite part:
“You can’t build a strip club on the moon!”
“Why not?”
“SO MANY REASONS!”
For some reason this also reminded me of Red VS Blue.
December 3rd, 2006 at 1:47 am
“what about your wives”
“fuck em”
i want moon time
December 4th, 2006 at 2:00 pm
Primo sketch, guys. That Ratatat at the end there?
December 5th, 2006 at 6:20 pm
Absolutemente.
December 11th, 2006 at 8:24 pm
Uh.. mission control before we do that you should probably stick the paws in the poodle and shove it up your ass!!
December 19th, 2006 at 10:51 pm
houston, texas… good 1… haha loved it
December 26th, 2006 at 4:26 pm

January 9th, 2007 at 8:35 pm
This is really good. I’m not sure if you guys check everyone’s comments but can you please upload this on podcast? I love it!
January 16th, 2007 at 8:50 pm
I’m gonna have to agree with Julie (post83) on this one. I just uploaded all your crud and haven’t laughed that hard in a while, but this one still takes the proverbial cake.
January 23rd, 2007 at 6:02 am
MOOOOOONTANG!! loved it
January 23rd, 2007 at 7:57 pm
that just made my week
January 25th, 2007 at 5:57 pm
Sorry. This is sorta long…..Okay:
Oh man. This video has extreme sarcasm, the word “jizzing”, the most lucid and beautifully termed references to infidelity, an explosion, something from the godzilla flics, astronauts getting excited about death, shiny objects, and a clip-on tie being ripped from the collar of a professional guy at NASA. Basically, it’s pure awesome. *grabs forehead and squints* Why do you guys rock so hard? If I had been very quickly and painlessly murdered within seconds after hearing the phrase,”Yeah, uh- could you stop oppressing us with your atmosphere based value system?”, I’m pretty sure I would have died a very happy person. And also soul-deprived, because the moontang stuff doesn’t come untill after. Either way, just one of your sketches is practically an emulation of all the hilariosity Dane Cook puts on a disc. And it’s free to watch them on the interweb. Sweet deal. Thank you for existing.
January 25th, 2007 at 10:10 pm
Hahahaha!!!
Sweet sweet moon tang!!
That is funny for a number of reasons.
January 30th, 2007 at 2:14 am
I know sketches and other things of this nature should not be over-analyzed, but…
1- Gamera could breathe fire on the moon in this sketch.
2- Fire is a combustion reaction that requires oxygen.
(2.5- The moon does not have an atmosphere, so it does not have oxygen gas in any appreciable amount, so this moon differs from the “real” moon in this respect if the above two points are true.)
3- If there is oxgyen on the moon, the astronauts should have been able to breathe (and would not have needed pressure suits either), so they could have stayed on the moon until their food ran out.
But of course, I’m willing to suspend my disbelief and objections and just enjoy this gem of hilarity. Thine English trulee is olde!
February 19th, 2007 at 12:14 am
the music at the end is ratatat, which is great stuff
February 20th, 2007 at 12:46 am
Great use of footage. Very funny.
February 24th, 2007 at 12:27 am
I. LOVE. THIS!
I can’t even point out the parts that I like the most - I like it all!
Simone Says:
that just made my week
This made my month!
February 24th, 2007 at 1:50 pm
Gamera’s fire breath may be hypergolic, Argonaut.
April 9th, 2007 at 7:54 pm
you guys pick out wicked good music
May 29th, 2007 at 10:43 pm
This is possibly the funniest thing I’ve ever watched..
“Think about everything on earth you’re going to miss… like your wives-”
‘Fuck ‘em.”
“Your children?”
‘Fuck ‘em!”
June 21st, 2007 at 10:21 am
Haha..
” I’m jizzing in my spacesuit “
October 24th, 2007 at 9:23 pm
uhh, mission control, before we do that, i think you should stick the paws, in the poodle and SHOVE THE WHOLE THING UP YOUR ASS CUS WERE NOT COMIN HOME MOTHER FUCKER
