Sunday Funnies: 30 Rock's Kenneth Raps "Top That"

BuzzSugar — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 13:30:06 PST

If you could draw a Venn diagram with cheesy '80s movie lovers in one circle and 30 Rock fans in the other, I'm pretty sure the intersection would be this week's "Senor Macho Solo" episode, which featured the endearingly dweeby Kenneth Parcells (Jack McBrayer) rapping the "Top That" song from Teen Witch. Only this time, I'm pretty sure nobody was exclaiming, "I'm so embarrassed. Look how funky he is!" Here's the clip:

Ashley Tisdale As the Teen Witch? Who Should "Top That"?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 10:35:09 PDT

OK, putting aside for a moment how much I so thoroughly can't imagine Teen Witch being palatable outside of the 1980s - even more so than most of the remakes being done these days - I am curious about the casting for it. Apparently, High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale may take on the role of Louise Miller, "the unpopular girl who discovers that she's a descendant of witches - and possesses powers" in a remake of the 1989 flick.

The original Louise Miller was played by Robyn Lively, and if they have to move forward with this project, why not keep it in the family and cast Robyn's sister, Blake Lively of Gossip Girl? At least that would be sort of funny. Or something.

However, there's a bigger question at hand: Who will play Louise's rap-happy best girlfriend? If you're unsure of what this role entails, please, for the love of all things holy, watch the "Top That" clip from Teen Witch after the jump. You may never be the same again.

What's Buzzworthy? Guilty-Pleasure '80s Movies

BuzzSugar — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 13:36:41 PST

Today, I launched a new feature on BuzzSugar called Defend This, where I ask you guys to justify your so-bad-it's-good fixations. So I thought I'd devote this week's Buzzworthy challenge to guilty pleasure '80s movies. My top pick has got to be Mannequin, starring Andrew McCarthy, Kim Cattrall, and, of course, Estelle Getty. I rented it so often as a kid that my parents often felt the need to remind me that most people prefer to rent movies they haven't seen. (A close second: Teen Witch.)

Now, tell me what woefully bad '80s movies you love. Just find them on the Web, bookmark them as Buzzworthy, and tag or title your choices with the phrase "Bad '80s movies." Then, I'll post the readers' favorites next Wednesday.

'80s Throwback! 10 Movies That Pay Homage to the Decade

BuzzSugar — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 05:30:00 PST

Who doesn't love a good '80s movie? The shoulder pads, the hair bands, the abnormally large cell phones - many Hollywood films have tried to recreate the feeling of the era through film, including this week's release Take Me Home Tonight. The film's cast already had fun re-enacting classic '80s film scenes, but it got me thinking about other films that pay tribute to the beloved decade. Here are 10 of the most memorable!

It's the end of the year, which means we'll start looking forward to 2012 soon. But first, we want to look back - way back - at our best nostalgic posts of the year. Whether we were reminiscing about growing up in the '80s and '90s or shaking our heads at sexist (and, at times, humorous) vintage advertising, this year has been full of fun and educational throwbacks. Even the TV shows and movies have been a blast from the past. So in case you missed any of our great nostalgic content, click on!

Rock of Ages Trailer: Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta-Jones Serve Up Rock & Cheese

Becky Kirsch — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:20:04 PST

If you're a fan of the Rock of Ages musical, you might find yourself cheering and clapping along with the trailer for the big-screen version of the show. If you're like me (who has never seen the show), then you might be a little more confused as to what this movie is actually about. The preview does a fine job of playing up its selling points: there's a huge cast (that features Alec Baldwin, Tom Cruise, Russell Brand, and Catherine Zeta-Jones) and tons of familiar '80s rock tunes (like "Any Way You Want It" and "We're Not Gonna Take It"). Other than that, all that we can glean is that Baldwin's character owns a club and Zeta-Jones is determined to take it down.

Apparently, the real story here is about Diego Boneta's character's rise to fame, and his puppy love story with Julianne Hough. But Boneta is barely even seen in the trailer, and instead, it's mostly about Tom Cruise as a sex symbol rock star. I'm not sure this has the makings of a great film, but it did succeed in one respect: I'll most definitely be humming Journey songs for the rest of the day.

Check out the trailer and tell us what you think when you
