Best of the Worst: Wheel of the Worst #5

every day we receive thousands of terrible VHS tapes and DVDs some are so [ __ ] weird we don't exactly know what to do with them that's why the wheel of the worst was designed it's a torture device of a modern age the wheel is spun three times each spin selects a video at random for the group to watch and then evaluate which video is the best of the worst it's now time to spin the wheel up oh god what what smells so bad it's the wheel of the worst do you remember that oh god I thought we threw this [ __ ] thing out we did rich but the garbageman just brought it back to us it was so embarrassing even the City of Milwaukee didn't want it they brought it back oh my god let's clean it off it looks like the Edden tapes to it this there's more like drug needles stuck in it we really would do we have a sharps container well if we don't I just have to throw this on the ground okay okay be careful well I mean to throw it away I just step out of the way for us anything oh my god okay through the needle away look rich let's just see what's on the wheel today well first up we have what was on the wheel last time a mysterious tape called SOS which has a monkey in a suit yeah whatever next up is practical solutions for home preparedness y2k what a timely video yeah let's make a standard y2k didn't happen Joe up next will be a y3k video but we have a long time to wait before that rich up next is another mysterious video tales from Genesis space there's an eye with cat ears a smiley face and something that looks like an alien demon well that looks amazing so there's no chance we'll land on that next on the wheel is insert joke here the insert joke here video about insert joke here up next is cleared for takeoff correction Fred Levine's original cleared for takeoff travel through one of America's largest airports and experience the fun of flying with a real pilot gee I can't wait to travel through one of America's largest airports that sounds so much fun except on the wheel is farm safety family style that's it we have we have a large blue box this is farm safety family style but it also says 1343 is that the year the film was made or the running time that's the Bible verse that the tape is based on up next American flatulate errs Wow this appears to be a parody of the dated TV show American Gladiators just with fart jokes and are they holding as that toilet paper on the end of those probably they look like giant q-tips but those are those those jumps I don't I don't get the gas masks no desert is there any kind of parallel on the American Gladiators logo that that's take on I know I know gas for smelly farts but yeah and then last up on the wheel is the Big Finish kids and air bags things you don't want to go together ever but in this video it does and the strange thing about this video is that it's only four minutes long so I really I can't wait to see how old they talk I think it's gonna start off your air bag will inflate when you hit something and it'll hit your kid in the face end a video right or don't get in a car accident because your air bag could smack your little child in the face whatever [ __ ] these videos these all suck what you're so weird now let me put this safety instructional video about child airbag safety back on a wooden wheel so that we could spin it alright alright I'm gonna spin the wheel we're gonna watch a movie here we go we're now watching that one okay cleared for takeoff I can't wait to flying a real plane to Grandma's this is what they call filler in children's airplane videos get to the point I think I think this is it rich this is the point this is video [ __ ] and the editor was so bored he just spit up the footage yeah this simulates plain writing I would hate to be sitting next to this [ __ ] man boy traveling with children is a [ __ ] nightmare this looks like the poor mother's miserable before she is three children Bob Levine put down the camera and help me with these [ __ ] kids oh god we can't even get the rejected sticker off was this this real-life this is like a miserable nightmare this existence I live are you ready to spin the wheel Jack who came up with the wheel horse does that [ __ ] rich Evans get out of here you [ __ ] did it whose idea was it to watch like not movies to watch like this kind of [ __ ] cuz like they're not movies it's terrible whose idea was that well why don't we spin the wheel can it be fixed I am calm I was reactivated in the year 34 23 and 23 on one galactic Standard Time once I was reacted and confused it was a strange sensation I wasn't that I was I was a little bit low on power barely functional but were there is a spark there was hope my first thoughts were to collect energy you never spinning the wheel again well Jack now that our lives are changed forever it seems almost pointless to continue with the wheel but right let's go no rules demand it we have to spend one more time and I want you to spin the wheel Jack I hate you too Jay SOS Oh someone sent out an SOS for us because we're gonna be watching on a monkey monkey smoking a pipe in a suit a robot man oh no the guy setting another guy on fire is magic hand powers and young love I don't know what's happening what let's go watch it was that robot using the shake weight and I messed it up I'm getting a Japanese five so far I'm not sure what it is is this a music video I'll they forgot to put the background into the blue screen because they couldn't do it people are in front of the people so much nuts the key up yeah so the ceiling or just the top of the frame is crowd I think wait these are like uh like Greek gods or Cupid's other acute pants okay the ceiling was like set and then they just play put a digital gray bar yeah yeah yeah okay which is came home what what that's a [ __ ] great question J you do it do it doing intro @j don't even know where to begin so tonight did not start off promising with cleared for takeoff the producer of the award-winning video road construction ahead and based on what we saw in this video I think I know what happens in road construction ahead he takes his family on a car trip and there's construction yeah Jack why don't you explain what happens and cleared for takeoff so it's about Ken Levine and his bride wearing red Levine it's about Teddy Levine and his family Ted Ted Levine is a guy that plays the serial killer in Silence of the Lambs oh yeah and ken Levine is another guy that tucks his dick between his legs yeah put the lotion in the basket or that there will be no more airplane trips ken Levine was the guy who won on Jeopardy no that's Ken dumb no shot guy is a Bioshock it's a video game okay it's about a family that takes an Air pen Jennings its occasion that's the jeopardy champ is there some kind of irony and remembering the jeopardy champions name as a trivia question who is Ken Jennings a family is taking an airplane trip to go visit grandma and the grandmas in the city that they left from apparently so they take an airplane trip stay in the hotel get back on an airplane and go somewhere else and see grandma yes that's what happens in the video and that's what happens in the video that's the whole video there's a window we wash windows up the other four things that happen at the airport which we're not gonna explain in any detail just random home movie shots I went on vacation with my kids and I made a video I think it's supposed to because you look at the cover and it's got a little kid with the pilot and I think it's supposed to be like preparing your kids for their first flight or something like I think that's the idea behind it but it's just home movies of Frankie Levine's family just flying on an airplane it is airplane pornography for children what are they doing we're just watching plane after plane land why is the same plate landing over over oh my god it's two ways to make this video one go through all the the bullet points of kid travel safety don't run away from mommy in the airport what happens when little Johnny craps his pants in the plane you know all that stuff like Oh a kid's ears pop when I took a flight as a little kid my ears are popping oh yeah I was crying so there's all these weird things that that kids have to look out for and parents have to look out for when taking kids on an airplane trip doesn't cover any of that no the other way to do it is here's how an airport works here's how airplanes work with narration now the baggage goes down these ramps and these guys none of that just Rob b-roll so this guy this guy [ __ ] up and ruined this video and and didn't make it right here's a smiling picture this dick you think he [ __ ] up I don't think he [ __ ] up I just think he didn't care I think he got a free airplane ride to Chicago here we go again look at we're exactly at the halfway point oh my god you're gonna fly back Oh Fred Levine production specializes in action filled behind-the-scenes video that oh hey look there's a 1-800 number on the back Oh call it what do you want to think this number is now it's gonna be a sex line again this is 1994 let's take a guess sex line or your call cannot be completed as dialed I'm gonna guess neither it's gonna be something else it's W plumbing company it out just like the video this is more the anticipation with every right yeah I'm stuck up here and a 747 the pilot just had a heart attack I've got a copy of your video here cleared for takeoff I don't have a VCR to watch it in I was hoping you could tell me how to land this point home I'm just some turbulence okay okay everyone stay calm stay calm it was just turbulence okay if you can get back to me with how to land this plane see how much gas I have in the next 20 minutes we would really appreciate it here thank you have a nice day usually I choke on the crank oh no if fred levine does call us back I have a feeling that one 800-number is probably still in service but he'd never checks it because I was 28 years ago but maybe he still makes it like there's a production company and just still produced somewhere somewhere in a dresser drawer his beepers going off have a great time visiting your grandmother and come back and fly with me again real soon our next film how did I start that I don't know wow that brings us to our next film tales from Genesis space was completely baffling I am he who watches I am from Genesis space come be amazed by my home and after we watched the film there were still no answers it's a series of short sci-fi stories well we did basically yeah we do stories well this is some guys hobby that ended up on a tape is what this is yeah we did do some mild research on the guy who made this and his name is after watching it after watching a a Abraham's day a Roberts he has a site called gen space.com wasn't and I think it's his own like it's a very early internet site and it's his blog of stories and screenplays and and weird things like that and he used cgi animation to make his own versions of his own stories yeah you had thought it was a community of sci-fi nerds that in the early internet this is circa 1997 my theory was that gen space was gonna be science fiction fan fiction or new stories by enthusiasts and then this guy just took some of those and adapted them into bad CGI movies yeah but apparently it's all him all him he writes the bad scripts and makes the bad film I get it are these his people like yeah something it's like haha look at my dick Tales from general space well we learned very slowly that some of this was supposed to be comedy it took a long time to figure that out but tennis did she still play tennis she doesn't answer camera what was that camera uh I had is that supposed to be funny what is that what's that mean that's a very valid question here's what was on the tape there was 2001 a fisher-price Odyssey smiley face brain and space computer there was naked bull man explode that was my favorite and then there was a a Roberts makes an ass out of himself on camera in front of garbage bags so what was the first one it's a smiley face and it finds out that he's actually a brain in a jar that's hooked up to the net hmm and then they talk about this for the next 30 minutes somebody wrote this out like at first I decided like Mike said he was doing like a little animation test and like slapped together some voiceover later yeah this is a script yeah we get it your brain so then the next story is the cow head god what is this one what is the fairy I yeah fahriye there's a wizard and the wizard makes a fairy eye it's an eyeball with fairy wings and then the wizard sends the fairy I through a teleportation Nexus to see goblins worship bold Goblin oh no something happened almost and now we're back in space Abrams here's how you remember a a awful animation that's good Wow pretty good that's good hey Roberts finally appears on camera and he looks exactly as we thought he might look like a weird internet nerd with the goatee except he's not 300 pounds I was thinking and we can't tell if he smells because it's a video it's the truth hello this is Captain Rachel white reporting on day one he's a future hipsters forget 4k I'm gonna back to he has a military uniform on and it's doing like the talking to the camera thing recording and stuff a red beret a black shirt and camouflage pants yeah like desert camouflage yes look like a black shirt so the story is a setup making you think he's in some kind of bizarre military experiment with dimensions and weird things like that yeah and clearly the script called for a black void behind him but all he had was garbage bags that's what's happening don't even start I don't know if it was like supposed to I think it was supposed to be like metallic no no black says black background employed because he it turns out in the end he's in a coma but in case anyone has a copy of this why is that garage covered with garbage bags this is the room of a serial killer but we learned later that he was all the things in his coma were inspired by real life almost like a dream oh yeah he was on his way from a GI Joe convention which explains why he was dressed like Cobra Commander and then he crashed his car his sports car which was very nice which flies by and part of the thing and then I guess gremlins org Rehman's as they call them messed with this transmission and costume to have a horrible car accident and get nekoma we think that's what was happening but Mike where did the rap number come from oh did he just leave like a rap concert I totally forgot about that you forgot about that that's really notable thing well you know different music made me forget about it the gremlins have a rap number do you think they Robert stands for Alcoholics Anonymous now you know cuz cuz his career what took a nosedive after this and he's so depressed that he drinks no he loves booze he just doesn't want people to know how much he drinks that's why he buys an anonymous his his co-workers at the office job he has now we're gonna give him he'll when they see this I'm sure they know he's working at the pet smart and grooming dogs and they didn't work with one chemist listen let's not make fun of this guy he he has a passion for science fiction for animation he did his best in 1997 maybe he's animating for Pixar now captain white love for you should use those garbage bags and put his film inside them well how does our hunters RSOs why is it called SOS doesn't help okay save our soul would be my guest yeah let's save our ship don't save our soul but there's no there's no dot so it's not an acronym so its sauce yeah your soul is in distress save Arsenal maybe it spells it out in the characters on the back yeah does anyone speak this anyone speak the language listen wait wait we're gonna scan the back of the box and then put it up here right so so here's all the characters please someone translate okay they say okay translate no I'm not asking you I'm asking the internet then or not Internet we're putting this back of the box up on the screen here real big make yourself useful so first of all obviously there's text on the back but it's Chinese I think we discovered right this is what we thought it was Japanese we thought it was definitely Japanese yeah lots of goofy weird things on the cover we know nothing about Asian culture no we're dummies but so let me put the video in and it starts with a music video oh this is just gonna be we realized the tape was very short and had the big reels really go thank God this will be short and it was a music video when we said okay it's a music video then the next video started and we're like okay it's a series of music videos but it's a very different type music video the first music video was one of Asian people Evan was obviously filmed in the the intended country and in China I'm assuming I don't know if it was one from the rest but anyway they were like visual effects there was blue screens there was people dancing like like robots a great video yeah sure sure and then you get to the next video and it's like a country dance video yeah it's like a boring love the story in the video is like some did they see each other at a party yeah they imagine what their life would be like together it's like they fell through a thrift store I don't know what the first one angle was but I think the second one was like a an abstinence no sex before marriage thing because they're so young and they meet and then they court and then they get married they get married today they don't show like like lovemaking or sex they show them going to the beach to hanging out and he's playing guitar and then they're married yeah and it's like okay I think that's was that angle but we didn't quite get the themes yet the open and 60,000 years and this could have been a little element that has to be home sounds about monkeys this song is like a pro or anti evolution I'm not sure which a Japanese Pro Christian anti-evolution music video is that what it is though I think some of us there was some angels teaching the way it really happened okay this is the boring stupid teacher who's teaching evolution yeah but it's all like British actors and stuff hmm and all of it is in Chinese or in you know the an Asian language and so we have no idea what they're saying we're just going off of the visuals and this ridiculous every single actor has this ridiculous mime because they can't you know they can't use words and so like I want to say there's one shot where the guy in the anti-evolution video was trying to mime that you don't have any evidence and so he goes that's exactly how your mind you don't have any evidence to support your theories what is that text saying that Darwin on something yeah I don't understand oh this is the domestic abuse song so anti-evolution right and then we're like oh my god it's full Christian and then what was next next was the anti-abortion video yeah Oh see this works with an abort this isn't Japanese Christian music video oh my god compilation oh my god you're totally right oh god this is a little baby in the future she's a ballerina find a man yeah abortion there's no way this isn't winning by the time you get to the third video it's full Christian yeah I I got a feeling they were just trying to ease you into it the first video might not have anything to do with Christian just love and just just love the first one is woman shouldn't work women should stay home because if the first video is about a woman who's unhappy because she's working and then she leaves with a man at the end and then she's happy well and also the first video is definitely the single like the first video is the video yeah but here the thing is though by the time you get to this end of the second video the Chinese censors have given up watching it and after the second video you're free to throw in whatever the crazy [ __ ] you want to put in there ah harvest that's how abortions work use exacto blade don't forget the video starts with the husband leaving luckily she decides to keep it and when she keeps the baby what happens the man comes back but then that's when the video starts getting really crazy after that the next video is all about a grocery store and there's like Nazi 666 demons in the grocery store and I was fairly convinced that it was like anti capitalism anti-consumerism propaganda but lo and behold apparently there was a theory can you guys explain the theory better when when barcodes first came out like the 70s the Christians kind of had a little minor freaked out because they thought that barcodes were the mark of the beast this is got a Bible passage the Bible pen admirers sell food without the mark of the beast it specifically says something about buying and selling yeah maintaining the mark of the beast under the number which is 666 so not literally an evil grocery store or anti capitalism or consumers and I think it was just metaphorical like yeah don't don't buy into all this and then come live in the woods and sit in the forests and sing songs and a guitar until the rapture happens Jesus wants you to live on a goat farm so the message is live in a Christian commune in a little booth there they're counting down to rapture this is a very realistic beard father okay so this is when they block out the the horn yeah the trumpets that means that the Christ is coming back there they go there's the rapture they didn't feel like filming it so they just show that picture so there's a couple cameos during the rapture Moses and my main man geez why am i flying notice all the people gives a male gun he's suddenly very happy to be crucified I like he looks so happy on that cross I kept waiting for him to give the old thumbs up check he would have given the thumbs up if he had a free hand that's very good he's literally flying into the sky well it reminded me the end of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory outside of the great glass wonkavator pokerface Jesus trying to he had to press the button I got the button and he's going up but is does Christ really reassigned on the cross I don't think these people got the story right No the Antichrist runs a supermarket it's a time capsule of crazy notice no barcode oh oh the revelation notice no barcode oh my god J your pick for best of the worst hands down SOS it was more the experience of washing it and that experience of discovering what the [ __ ] this was yeah where it written it all clicked like it all came together at a certain point we're like oh that's what's happening well for me cleared for takeoff crash landed immediately oh and you said very appropriately that SOS there was a journey of discovery of what the [ __ ] it was and it was ups and downs like this is a weird Japanese music video away oh my god this is like some kind of religious brainwashing thing and and the the weird discovery of what it was made that in entertaining this is a sony unique thing it was so weird but we never discovered what it was but I really I didn't like SOS that much there are some funny moments it's just so creepy like but I do have to pick it for best source because it is the best of the worst yeah I'm just along with everyone else it was just you're seeing this thing that's in a foreign language and you're you're trying to decipher it and slowly it just it reveals itself to you piece by piece obviously SOS is the best of the first I would like to put to a vote that we destroy cleared for takeoff as I find it offensive well I don't think there's anyone that's gonna descend on that no one's gonna try and defend cleared for takeoff in any way I don't think this we would definitely never destroy this is so unique and not quite we didn't hate it as much just because it's such a unique gem of weird and it may be the only one in existence it may be the only one in existence yeah it is some guy's weird project and it's embarrassing and it shouldn't be destroyed it should be worshipped absolutely yeah worship not gonna make it bull man who may or may not explode but cleared for takeoff should crash and burn did I do that already you did that the exact pun already cleared for takeoff is not cleared for takeoff cleared for takeoff should disappear somewhere near Australia in the ocean well who else has got something cleared for takeoff was horrible guys I think we all agree that cleared for takeoff is about to hit some turbulence that's the best I got fortunately this is a one-way flight for cleared for takeoff

....And all it took was a cult run by a Christian sex pervert.
