This strip is genius. I love how Ray whirls away in panel 4

The idea in this is very familiar, I am sure I have seen this for real

I give that a chubby for how few chubbies it has heretofore received

It is familiar because this is every music video from the 80s.

scroll down, man of similar genius.

or are your just a thief in the night?!

I don't know. It is possible that I read rogergs's comment months ago and it sort of stuck in my subconscious when I made this reply.

And...and your comment down there too. Maybe you and me and rogergs is amigos!

I love how Roast Beef feels it's necessary define what it is the people are dancing to (Oh, the music!)

That look of angry determination in panel 5 on Beefs face that says 'lets just get this shit over with!' is awesome. Awesome to the max.

That is the best script written for anything, ever.

This strip nails the 80's school of video making that was obviously a formative influence on Roast Beef. Think Lionel Richie's "All Night Long."

Dancing on the ceiling even.

Roast Beef is just too much.

This is a music video that I would watch.

Yeah. It's actually a really nice idea for an actual music video.

...OR WAS IT?

chub for making the exact comment I was about to make

this is probably my favorite strip ever, out of any comic

I always think of this video:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3776382933543429011
or this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiIC5qcXeNU

Everyone c p'd the youtube link, no doubt.

The people are all dancing (to the music).
In case it comes into question what they are dancing to.
J' <3 Beef.

I'm also laughing (to that line)

"All goin' nuts" is the best line.

An attractive woman cracks open a fortune cookie. To her surprise and delight, a miniature Ray playing the piano flies out. Ray circles her swaying head a few times and then flies off-screen.

A scowling man in a rumpled suit and tie enters the front door. He is carrying a clipboard and has a "Health Inspector" badge. He watches as a waitress places a heaping plate of Lo Mein on Ray's piano. The waitress then turns around, hoists herself up onto the piano and sits smack down in the middle of the noodles. The health inspector displays a look of alarm as he pulls a red pen from his pocket. Just as he is about to mark his clipboard, a woman's hand (painted lady fingernails) appears from off-screen, grabs his tie, and yanks him out of frame.

In the next shot, we see a beautiful lady pull the man into the Noodle Room and slam the door closed behind them. We know it is the Noodle Room because the door has a sign that says "Noodle Room".

Later, the disheveled health inspector stumbles out of the Noodle Room. He is covered with lipstick and noodles. Close-up on his clipboard: the sheet has two boxes, "Pass" and "Fail". He checks the "Pass" box and then throws the clipboard and pen over his shoulder and begins to dance.

rad addition.

but of course, the music stops while the Health Inspector comes in and during the 'encounter' in the Noodle Room. they can do that in music videos.

this comment does not have near the amount of chubbies it should.

Just gave it it's 100th chubby!

Fuck me, paperboy_2000.

No, seriously, consenting to sex here.

Omitted scenes: Roast Beef trapped in a shower with a kit submarine and Teodor's prettiest week.

...OR WAS IT? is the credo by which every music video from 1981 to 1989 was authored.

dancing (to the music)

This is the first strip that had me going "Look, look at this, this is so funny" and thrusting a link in people's faces.

This wasn't particularly eloquently put, but you get the gist.

Anybody else jonesing for some lo mein right now?

YES

I don't even know what lo mein is. Some kind of...noodle? All with that sauce?

I think the noodle used in most restaurants is actually vermicelli. But it's not really the canvas; it's the art coating it in sticky goodness.

i am laughing (at this strip)

I like how the script says "SCENE ONE" even though it is the only scene.

Look at Beef's furious typing! That's how he builds up those muscle-bulges that appear later.

Vote # 700!

My favorite part is "He's all like 'Enough o' this!'"

It's one of the more subtle references that's part of my everyday vernacular.

And I'm scared half to death that I can't use two of the BBCode things and screwed it up...hell, I don't even know basic HTML. I don't deserve to be on the internet.

Don't worry Harukosan, you nailed it.

You have fallen off, friend, and hard.

please note: we never talk about the comic up there.

My, what a sad and boring man you are!

He has known since he was 12.

Hey-o!

Man, Assetbar wasn't around when this comic was posted. Largely the only people who post on Assetbar are the real fans, and the real fans have generally long since read all of the archives and just keep up with the new ones.
