I assume you've seen the "World of Warcraft" version of "The Internet is for Porn" then?

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Actually, I hadn't. Aiee. That is great.

There's a ton (http://www.youtube.com/results?search=the%20internet%20is%20for%20porn&sort=relevance&page=1) of these out there. Unfortunately I can't seem to find the original one I saw of this done to an anime named Chobits. It was quite good and well synced.

It was what caused me to actually buy the Avenue Q CD. :-)

Ahh! Found it!

It's a fabulous show, I saw it on Broadway last year. If you get a chance to see it there (or in Vegas) do it!

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

I think it's already closed in Vegas.

[stellabambino.livejournal.com]

It has, it's been replaced by Spamalot.

Awesome! I LOVE Avenue Q, and cannot WAIT until the day they take that show on the road!

As long as it was in Vegas, that couldn't happen. They had a National exclusive licence. (That's why you -could- see it on tour in Europe)

Now, we might get to see it touring sometime in a year or two.
(depending on when that licence expires I guess).

Oh, and if you do get to see it, be sure to buy the program book. It's overpriced, but it includes a CD with a bonus track-- 'Tear it up and throw it away.' It's about getting a summons for jury duty.

I went to see it during the Republican National Convention. The line in the finale, about how George Bush is sure to go away eventually, got a laugh that I swear lasted for five minutes.

You gotta love the "Internet" song ^__^

What I adore is Trekkie Monster doing that little "raise the roof" bit after the first chorus.

You're my hero!

Oh, I loved these, thanks for putting them up, I finally know what the show is like.

Although there are no puppets, this is one of the coolest interpretations of "It Sucks To Be Me" I've ever seen. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxILB1Okv7Y&search=avenueq)

And thank you sooooo much for collecting all those different videos here!
