Don't Say It Over the Phone on Grave Mood Rings

- čas přidán 30. 06. 2024
- Mixing vampire humor and 1970s tropes (like pet rocks, lava lamps, disco music, bell-bottom pants, mirror balls, and of course mood rings), the web series Grave Mood Rings pokes fast fun at classic slow-moving Gothic soap operas like Dark Shadows and the Canadian series Strange Paradise. In addition to a vampiric Viscount, a castle is home to a groovy Doctor (a phlebotomist, naturally), a jolly housekeeper with her own laugh track, a werewolf Vicar, and an arch-nemesis riddler wearing a Sphinx mask. Corny wordplay, the occasional bizarre sing-a-long, and haunted doughnuts punctuate the proceedings, in the tradition of the sketch comedy of MadTV, Kids in the Hall, and SCTV.

Love when the director chimes in!!!!!! Like the back scenes
Thank you, Karyn! You'll be seeing some very fun behind-the-scenes interviews in upcoming episodes!
Well,ain't that a hoot!!! tooooooo funny!
Thank so much, Donna! 🧛🏻♂️
The name Duckrabbit Revere made me laugh more than it should have.
Duckrabbit Revere was inspired by the Canadian Dark Shadows, Strange Paradise, in which someone named "Chickenbunny Revere" (???) is mentioned. Here's the scene in question, to see if you hear it the way we did: czcams.com/video/lfphVA7U5-E/video.html
And just the way she says it! Like, "And you MUST know, Chickenbunny Revere."
Yes, her delivery is amazing! 🤠
Slain once again by the vampire!! ❤
🧛🏻♂️ As someone funny just told me, "Everybody's Vike-ing for the veekend!"
I’m here from the Reddit post.
Awesome! Thanks for mentioning it, because I didn't even know about the Reddit post! 😳
Another thing, would the 8-track collecting Sphinx be interested in CDs from the 1990s, if the Doctor brought him one back, or does he restrict his collecting to his current temporal reality?
What a great question, Ken! If somebody brought me an artifact from the future, I presume that (no matter what it was) I'd begin a collection. But with the Sphinx being so mysterious, who knows?
' Tell me what you want, what you really really want !' just leave the spice girls in that bygone age !
The mid-90s era of the Spice Girls does indeed feel so long ago now. I asked Gogol if "the 90s are the new 70s," and there were many confirmations!
If you’re on the phone with a person in the same room, does the brain register the conversation twice, once as “on the phone” and also as “in person”? Also, there should be slight, minuscule delays in the phone conversation, due to the properties of transmission. Is this taken into consideration?
You're so right -- it's a continuity error that there are no minuscule delays in the phone conversation. We need to add this to the Goofs category over at the Fandom page. And the quick answer to your first question, about the brain registering the conversation twice, is: Yes yes.

You found the rare emoji for DuckRabbit!
Pop culture references... Lovely mimic, so there's a DnD ref. Hmm, what about LOTR, the Hobbit, etc. (Rankin-Bass based, of course)? And I thought you were going for an Incredible Hulk reference with the green hair. Which brings to mind other 70s pop TV references like Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter, Land of the Lost (Time travel and dimensional displacement references plus dinosaurs, what's not to mine for Grave Moods?) Of course, live action Saturday morning TV courtesy of Sid and Marty Krofft (Why where's Bigfoot and Wildboy?), Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, the horror of the Star Wars Christmas Special. Oh my, oh my. One little thing, be very careful how you handle The Wiz (Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, and Richard Pryor are otherwise fair game)...
Yes, all great references! We've been watching the Saturday morning TV series SHAZAM for an upcoming reference. It's unnecessary "homework" for how the show will be mentioned in Grave Mood Rings, but it's tuning us further into the 1970s vibe.
@@ProfessorOddfellow Don't forget O Mighty Isis. Also, in a more monstrous vein, the various Scooby Doo copycats. The Viscount could have to deal with himselves in some very interesting ways.
Thanks -- I just read up on 10 of the Scooby Doo copycat cartoon shows released by Hanna-Barbera.
@@ProfessorOddfellow You're welcome, considering so many will benefit from the video references.
@@Makapolu Classic! I was 9 when it came out and quickly became a big fan of Isis. It was great that a schoolteacher became a goddess-hero who always saved the day, and I'd already spent years reading everything I could about Ancient Egypt. I even subscribed to the sadly short-lived comic book.
