My parents were copulating like bunnies (leading to my eventual birth), Swatch was releasing their first watch (leading to one of the most idiotic fads since the formation of The Grateful Dead), and NBC was airing a new show about a group of renegade Vietnam vets-for-hire called The A-Team. This motley crew took the world by storm and after murdering thousands of terrorists and thugs with an unlikely combination of black vans, automatic weapons and a huge, mohawked, walking jewlery store who enjoyed throwing people throw walls, their run on domestic TV came to an end. The entire world mourned the loss of such a seminal piece of cinema, and to this day, you can spot children at recess smoking cigars and quipping: "I love it when a plan comes together."
To celebrate America's national fixation on a television show that hasn't had a new episode in almost two decades, we bring you the above video. It's a "mix" of footage from the murder-simulator-du-jour Gears of War and the A-Team theme song, and the two go together like crazy and Murdock.
(Editor's Note: If you're too young to remember The A-Team, feel free to gloss over the post, and instead read one of the billions of Final Fantasy-related posts we've put up recently. We don't mind, but your father is weeping quietly in his bedroom. -- Nex)
Mr Haley: MacGuyver... hmmm, now there's something I can surely relate too. Brings back a few old memories of my childhood with regards to late nights and alot of surge.
I pity the fool who doesn't know about the A-Team, but anyone who doesn't bow before MacGuyver will be castrated with a paper clip, bubble gum wrappers, and some duct tape.
"one of the most idiotic fads since the formation of The Grateful Dead"
Fad? Have you ever been to Europe? Swatches are like water over there. Italy in particular, and not surprisingly Switzerland. The only place swatches went "out" is in the US. I still have a swatch I bought in Zurich 6 years ago, great watch.
George Peppard spinning in his grave? The statement / thought is disrespectful. The video here, a ridiculous joke! The images were all together exagerrated and where were the good guys? The only thing that would match that video is the National Anthem because The A- Team was about being back stabbed by their own Hypocritical Government!

Good to see some decent machinima out, overshadowed by all the other works of shit that make my eyes bleed.

The spirit of Richard Dean Anderson smites you.

ahhh good times... Mr. T your stupidity was matched only by your brawn... oh, if like could only be so simple again. *sniff*
And the A-Team was such a badass show.
Only the A-Team can fire thousands of bullets out of an AK from only a 30 round clip.
That video works. It works well.
Great video, though.
A-Team rocks though. Funny how no one ever died in that show. Boom. Explosions. Bad guys go flying, but no one dies. LMFAO.
Nice find.
Also, cocks.
I'm older than you Nes?
*** Alert***
<--- older gamer
Love the actor names! And the freeze frame is sweet.
I've studied the classics.
All we need is Mr. T's voice in there somwhere, like as Rasta.
"Stop that jibba' jabba' foo'. Rasta never did no drugs!"
Really? I'm sixteen and I used to watch the A-team.
