Love parodies? Secretly love politically-incorrect humor? You'll enjoy this humorous satire of 1960's-era educational films. Using the actual film but with quite a different narration. Obviously the blatantly homophobic message is politically-incorrect today, so blatant that anyone should get a laugh from this one.
The actual film scenes with updated (and hilarious) voice-overs give it appeal to anyone, especially when it's done in such tongue-in-cheek humor. "Here we see how the gay cells enter the bloodstream ... flamboyantly. And spruce up those white blood cells. 'Sorry fellas it's after Labor Day.' But heterosexual science marches on."
The voice-over and the dialogue mimics the stilted 60's language and it's sewn in perfectly with each scene. Funny stuff!
Well, back from the holidays and more Behnfannin videos to watch. Yipee!!!
This is a mildly clever conversion piece in the vein of that classically overdone box office snoozer, Crash, in which a series of seemingly unrelated characters go about their own personal business before ultimately crossing each other’s paths to mild dramatic affect.
In Kathy’s Call (the uninspiringly simple title of this complex head-scratcher) a series of phone calls from a series of randomly connected people lead them smack-dab into the belly of an adulterous liaison between a married woman (Kathy) and her newfound needle-point assistant.
Here’s a commercial about an amazing wonder-product called “The Thing.” It does everything but satisfy the little lady, and for some reason this random and quirky little spoof commercial elicited a few guilty chuckles out of yours truly. Well done, Behnfannin… well done.
The people of Behnfannin productions have left me scratching my head once again. Maybe I have an undiagnosed case of head lice, but more probably it’s that sometimes I just don’t get the joke they’re telling.
This video is for a mock music video by a man called Umbilical Bif, and it’s of a song about a missing television remote called “Remote Control.”
Imagine being cloned a number of different times. Then imagine that all of your copies live in the same city and are, somehow, all the same age as you. Then imagine trying to avoid running into them every day when they’re either lurking in parking lots and begging for money, or just around the corner looking for an autograph. Now imagine the editing and thought it took to make this all happen on film, and you’ll have a good appreciation for this clever little video by behnfannin productions.
This rap video about an everyday yard sale may be the definition of retarded. And if the tag for the video didn’t say ‘behnfannin,’ I’d be absolutely certain that a team of coked-up monkeys had somehow gained access to some crude video equipment and made it themselves. Nevertheless, actual sound-minded humans were responsible for this, and I’m consequently as surprised as a hooker on her wedding day. This one is really silly, folks ... You’ve been warned.
It’s often so good that it can make the lamest of ideas seem funny—no matter how dumb or stupid it may be once completely sober.
Anyway, this is your classic “get high and make something crazy up” video by the good people at behnfannin productions. I’m not going to knock it, because I can’t say I’ve never done the same thing. In fact, I can tell you exactly how this video was made...

(Scene: Three young men on a couch; stoned out of their mind's in a random junky-ass one room apartment—video game running, smoke wafting through the air, and curtains pulled tightly shut on a bright California day)
Behnfannin member #1: “man, that weed was amazing! What kind was it?”
Behnfannin member #2: “W-what?? I forget… Dude, my stomach is growling, this was some good shit, though, wasn’t it?”
Behnfannin member #3: “I’m hungry as a motherfucker!”
Behnfannin member #1: “Hell yeah, lets get some subs.”
Behnnfanin member #3: “Fuck that! Lets get some subs, then do a video about that shit, yo!”
Behnfannin member #2: “I can’t control my eyes.”
Behnnfanin member #1: “Yeah, we can make it like a street skating add and call it ‘no subbing’ or something like that. We’ll pretend to do skating moves with subs in our hand—it will be hilarious! It’ll be like that ‘freestyle walking’ video we saw the other day. Remember that? We were high as fuck and watched it together. It was almost as funny as the Teletubbies or The View!”
Behnfannin memner #3: “Shit yeah! I remember. That was the day we smoked the ‘blueberry!’… I’m down. Let me go get the video camera and we can bounce!”
Behnfannin member #2: “It was called ‘orange crush’, I remember now!… Guys, where are we going?”
This clip is just weird, and I can’t say much about it other than that. There’s some dancing and some corny funk-music involved as two happy people step their way through a random forest to meet their untimely end at the hands of a third happy prancer. Strange stuff. I’m not impressed, I’m not laughing, and I’m not sure you will. But have a look anyway. It’s only one minute long.
In the pursuit of comedy one should never be afraid to take chances. Many of the great minds have all had that one undeniable trait in common, and the Behnfannin production company apparently isn’t any different.
This video is an extremely creative one. A television news magazine segment about a born-again zombie who has seen the error of his brain-eating ways and is attempting to reform back into the ways of the living.
With the help of his necrophiliac wife and a hilarious 13-step monster support group consisting of a warewolf, a whiny vampire, and host of unsupportive counselors, he seems to have found a way to get back on track, until he falls off the wagon and eats his newborn baby. Woops. No one said it was going to be easy.
Trust me when I say that this clip is definitely worth watching, and is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. You won’t be disappointed with this one, I promise.
This clip by behnfannin is cleverly described as “a mockumentary about a group of documentary filmmakers trying to make a documentary about themselves trying to make the documentary they are trying to make.”
WOW! Could there be anything more original? ... And, with that said, could I be any more sarcastic?
After watching this one, there were only two possible ways this could have been funny to me: 1.) Lots of Weed, and 2.) If it was completely done over the top. Instead I’m completely sober, the actors played it pretty straight, the writing could have been better (much like this review) and the clip is thus left lacking in the comedy department. It does have its moments.
And the idea is a good one, don’t get me wrong -- quite original in its description, but I’m not going to pretend that I -- or many of you -- haven’t had this exact same idea in our heads for about three years now, but have simply been too lazy to do anything about it. At least they did it.
