If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to see a collaboration between Roger Moore and Huey Lewis then this post is for you. But if you’ve ever wondered how that collaboration could be enhanced with the edition of Jason Alexander, Ricki Lake, Corbin Bernsen and George Wendt then this post is also for you. And upon seeing that ensemble if you’ve ever thought to yourself, “Gee, I wonder what it would be like if Philip Michael Thomas joined in. Along with Steve Guttenberg, Tonya Harding, David Faustino, Alfonso Ribeiro, Pam Anderson, Leslie Nielsen, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren, Judd Nelson, Peter Falk, Rickie Schroeder, Boyzone, speedskater Dan Jansen, Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider, the surviving members of Right Said Fred, Daryl Hannah and Lou Ferigno.” Well, then wonder no more. Because this post is definitely for you. It’s all thanks to the Norwegian TV show Golden Times (Gylne Tider in Norwegian) and their season 4 promo video. Now admittedly, Notchweiner is not a great authority on the subtle cultural undertones that permeate the world of Norwegian television. But it doesn’t take an expert on all things Norway to see that there are several things inherently wrong with this piece of work. Several things that puzzle Notchweiner. And perhaps even frighten him. Maybe it’s the mysterious three gentlemen in the red sweaters who pop up from time to time. We know not from where they come. Or maybe it’s the fact that this was probably Leslie Nielsen’s last piece of work before he shuffled off his mortal coil. Which is sad and unfortunate. But, regardless, this is some serious celebrity-on-green-screen-abuse going on here. Not to mention a rather wretchedly inappropriate misuse of one of Paul McCartney’s greatest songs. Notchweiner most certainly does not approve of this message.
