Stick Figure Friday came a day early this week. This time, the Great Moments series turns its gaze toward a comedy classic from the 1980s, This is Spinal Tap (1984). There really are countless scenes that would’ve worked here. Stonehenge, the album art for “Smell the Glove”, and the amp going up to eleven were all prime candidates. But I had to go with my favorite scene.
I present to you Great Moments in Movie History (Using Stick Figures), featuring the scene from Spinal Tap in which Derek gets stuck in the alien pod. Click on the image to get the full resolution version.
HAHA Nice one John, and Happy Easter
Happy Easter, Scott!
Although I didn’t like the movie I remember that scene. Great work
Reblogged this on sumitta2012.
I think my favorite scene, though the image isn’t iconic enough to be recognizable, is when they’re excited to hear an older song of theirs on the radio, only to get instantly bummed when the announcer says that the band belongs in the “where are they now” file.
Ha… definitely a great scene. And when rattling off other great scenes, I neglected the fake wang in the airport.
Great! My favorite moment is the instant “burning” of the drummer. Since, I am a drummer myself I taught is was quite a good one… I love to revisit Film History with those stick figures!
The whole series of drummers was great.
Just watched Spinal Tap the other day, and it’s as great as it ever way. Very funny stuff!
You can’t just go putting Stick Figure Friday on Thursday! Lick My Love Pump!
Haha… their song titles are the best. Sex Farm, Tonight I’m Gonna Rock You Tonight, Big Bottom, Listen to the Flower People… Most of my biggest laughs watching that movie come from their lyrics.
The conversation Nigel has with Marty about “Lick my love pump” kills me. Christopher Guest’s writing style and sense of humour definitely comes through in This is Spinal Tap. I love Guest’s Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty WInd. 3 of my fave comedies from the past decade-ish.
