Robotech Blooper Reels

[Aramanthus]

ROFLMAO!!! Those were some great ones! Especially the party where Lisa and Minmei ended up......... And then Rick walks in.

I can see Clones"RUS having to contact other people if a nuetron S gets unleashed. I think the same people who built planets from Hitchickers Guide to the Galaxy might be in order to replace the planet.

[Rathorc Lemenger]

That Toga bit, Taalismn, was oddly..... appropriate. Also, for some reason, I can also picture the 15th joining in on that.

It's SuperDimensional Cavalry Glorie The Broadway Musical!!!
The entire 15th and the major clone players come dancing on stage in a conga line singing 'Always Look on the Bright Side fo Life!'(from Monty Python's 'Life of Brian')


Cut to Zor Prime singing Cats' 'Memories'....

Dana singing Cindy Lauffer's 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!'...

[Alpha 11]

Man, I am loving this!

[taalismn]

"So. Why does Louie wear those goggles all the time?"
"So nobody can tell he's sleeping during briefings...."

"Zor Prime. There is something you must know!"
"You have nothing I want to know, You so-called 'Masters'!"
"Oh, but you'll want to know this! Zor! I AM YOUR FATHER!!!"
".....You don't really expect me to believe that, do you?"
"Why not? We already had one cheesy homage to 'Star Wars' in this series, we figured we've give it a try."

[Aramanthus]

ROFLMAO!!! Now I never expected "Robotech the musical!" And the Star Wars one was just as funny!

[Rathorc Lemenger]

"Robotech: The Musical" *Grins maniacaly* Ooohhhh........ I've got a feeling that there's going to be a running gag for that one. Oh, and Taalismn?? DON'T mess with Cats... That's my favorite musical.

How about 'Rent'?

the Mel Brooks parady of robotech

[Rathorc Lemenger]

Go right ahead, Taalismn. Rent is an alright musical. It's just that Cats is my personal favorite musical out of all of them.

Musica, Allegra, and Octavia shimmy by singing:
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up ev'rybody and sing

Ev'ryone can see we're together
As we walk on by
(FLY!) and we fly just like birds of a feather...


(lyrics courtesy Sister Sledge)

[Aramanthus]

What about doing a Robotech version of "The Producers"? I mean since we are talking about musicals and a modified version of (The Producers) famed version of "Springtime for Hitler."

[Rathorc Lemenger]

Oh, Gods.... *Squirts tea out of nose* My sides are hurting..... Must... Breathe..... Must.... Stop..... Laughing....

You sir, are a very very very EVIL man.
I approve

[taalismn]

I can see Zor surrounded by flying petals of the Flower of Life as a bunch of identical choral singers prance and surround him:
"Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Masters' Party!"

[Aramanthus]

And just imagine Khyron could even have a part. He could be the writer of the play. And then later after it becomes popular he'd have to tell them which type of fuse they were using to blow up the show. (That is from the original version for those who never saw it. But judging from the reactions I think a lot of you have seen it! )

T.R. Edwards, to a young Anatole Leonard(he still has his hair): "It seems to me, that a weapons contractor could stand to make more money from a FAILED weapons program, with all the research and development, and prototyping, than from a successful program, with military contracts, where they might have to share with other subcontractors...Remember the ten thousand dollar toilet seats?"

Emil Lang to Anatole Leonard: "A PLANE that turns into a ROBOT? Are you insane? Who'd buy such an idea?"

(Later) Lang: "The UEG bought it. They LOVED the idea! We've got funding and the go-ahead!"

[batlchip]

Yeah, I can see it now.
Breetai:It's just a step to the....er,never mind.

You wanted musical, but you got opera.


With apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan - see if you recognize the tune.

I am the very model of a Zentraedi Grand Admiral
I’ve killed beings vegetable, animal and mineral
I serve the Masters of Tyrol in actions quite genocidal
From Optera to Haydon IV I’m considered quite maniacal.

I have no interest in matters mathematical
I don’t know geometry more advanced than a quadrilateral
When it comes to trigonometry, I am quite obtuse
I killed the last man who called me a hypotenuse.

I’m very good with at suppressing planets rebellious.
My stratagems are cunning, bold and devious
I’ve killed beings vegetable, animal and mineral
I am the very model of a Zentraedi Grand Admiral

I send my legions out in search of the Protoculture Matrix
Azonia, Breetai and Khyron too with his knack for tricks
Once the Matrix to me they have delivered thus
The universe shall tremble at the sight of us.

I shall order them forth in divisions and in companies
And this great prize shall win the Zentraedies
If we can resist the din of that infernal micronian whore
The galaxy shall be ours alone forever more.

But that little tramp confounds my men every time she does perform
Leaving them sitting ducks for when that great space ship does transform
I’ve killed beings vegetable, animal and mineral
I am the very model of a Zentraedi Grand Admiral

My fondest desire is to capture that fortress in which they travel in
For the destiny of the Zentraedi race is secured within
But first every micronian under my heel I must splat,
Especially Captain Gloval and that singing brat.

I shall raze their planet from existence with my fleet’s heavy gunnery
Not a single micronian shall remain; there shall be none you see
These are the plans of the Zentraedi
I am the Grand Admiral you must see
My military might is superior to thee
Your only choice is to die or flee
I’ve killed beings vegetable, animal and mineral
I am the very model of a Zentraedi Grand Admiral

So Easy a Zentraedi Can Do It...

Rico's hanging around guarding the Protoculture Chambers when out of sheer boredom, he starts chatting up Karita(the wimpy guy who actually runs it)
Rico: "Man, this looks complex! What does it all do?"
Karita:(puffing up with self-importance)"It oversees a very complex interaction of forces, that requires a careful hand in overseeing its operation. It takes YEARS of intense study and practice under simulation to get it right!"
"What does THAT switch do?"
"You know...i really don't know...all these years, I've never used that switch."
"Let's see what it does!"
"No!"
"Come on! Just flip it!"
"No! There's no telling what it could it! YEARS of study, remember?"
"So, you should know what it does, right?"
"Ye--NO!"
"It's your responsibility to know, right? Come on, you want to know what it does."
"..yes..."
"So, let's see! Flip it!"
"..okay..."(outside we see an officer walking by the open door unnoticed by either of the two talking Zentraedi)
*CLICK*
(the officer's clothes suddenly flop empty to the floor)
"Anything?"
"Don't notice anything. Try it again."
*CLICK*
(the officer is standing up again, his clothes disheveled)
"Anything?"
"Nope. Again."
*CLICK*
(again the officer's clothes fall to the floor...we can see movement, like something small's trapped under them)
"Still anything?"
"Not a thing."
*CLICK*
(once again, the officer's there, looking messed up, with a 'WTF---?!" look on his face, before he hurries away in a near-panic, completely unnoticed by Karita and Rico)
"Anything?"
"Nothing."
(with relief) "Okay, could be a dead switch or just something that isn't important....In any case, it doesn't matter. Satisfied?"
"Not really, but it will have to do."

Dolza: "SILENCE, MICRONIANS!!!! YOu -WILL- demonstrate this 'dancing' to us!"
Lisa: "You've gotta be kidding...with HIM?"
Rick: "Nothing wrong with my moves....Would you rather dance with Ben? I gotta warn you, he crushed the insteps of the last two partners he had.."
"Hey!"
Lisa: "Oh...all right..."('Man, I wish I'd taken Claudia up on her offer, when she tried to make me watch 'Dancing with the Stars' back at the Academy....'..but I had to study military tactics and strategy....Dad never told me I'd face something like THIS!')

Admiral Hayes is waiting at the airfield for Lisa's shuttle when it arrives...as he watches, the gangplank rolls up, the door opens, Lisa exits and approaches him...
"Lisa..."
"Admiral Donald Hayes?"
"...eh? What, Lisa?"
"...You're a kneebiter...a bedwetting kneebiter!"
With that she turns around, returns to her shuttle, and takes off again to return to the SDF-1. leaving her father behind, wondering what the hell just happened...

“Oh man....I’m back on duty? I thought I just finished three straight shifts!” Lisa looked down at her console.
Instead of the expected jape from her companion, or some comment from the back, there was silence.
Lisa looked around, saw Claudia in her accustomed place, but staring at her. Looked around, saw Vanessa, Sammie, and Kim staring at her...Looked a little further and saw Gloval sitting there, also staring at her....Glanced back at the overhead screen, and saw a flight helmeted Rick Hunter also staring back at her, jaw swaying in the breeze...
Speaking of breezes...
“Oh...I appear to be completely naked.” Lisa observed. “...Oh, I must REALLY be tired if I’m having one of those damn ‘naked in school’ dreams. That's what this must be!”
“ah-uh....” Claudia helpfully supplied.
“Lisa? Go back to your quarters?” Gloval meekly intoned.
“Okay! I think I’ll do that...” She walked back to the end of the bridge. Just before she stepped out of earshot; “Though maybe , while I’m at it, I’ll try some of that lucid dreaming I’ve heard about...Maybe try dancing across Macross City for the fun of it...or maybe flyng OVER it..yeah that would be neat!...” With things again making sense to her, she fairly skipped out of sight.
There was a moment of silence on the bridge.
“CLAUDIA!” Gloval barked.
“I’m on it!” As Claudia bolted from the bridge to try to intercept her friend, and the Bridge Bunnies frantically tried to alert Bridge Tower security to lock off the access ways leading off the bridge area....
“I take it that WASN’T a communications malfunction or my air supply going wonky?” Lieutenant Hunter dazedly supplied, finally coming to his senses...
“Total blackout, Lieutenant...you saw nothing, you say nothing, or you ARE nothing, understand?”
“Yessir! Absolutely!”


(Meanwhile, an eavesdropping Zentraedi ELINT craft goes swerving out of control as its crew suffers convulsions at the controls)
