Oddity Archive: Episode 151 - Local Flavor (Part 2: Anti-Nostalgia)

[@david.schoonover]

Would LOVE to see the full Silly Cise and Fathers Anonymous uploaded to the Annex!

[@vwestlife]

That "Sillycise" video was edited on an Amiga computer with Video Toaster. All of the transitions between scenes are standard Video Toaster transitions, including the one with the sheep.

[@STOG01]

The world is a better place with you in it. Thank you.

[@OfficialDJUnikittyYT]

Ben, i been watching the Oddity Archive from Tillsonburg. I want to wish you and the cardboard box all the best on your big move. Happy trails, safe journey. and Also. i want to say a big thank you for everything. So. good luck on the move! Next time will be a new journey and a new era for the Oddity Archive! #AllTheBest. #ThankYouBen

[@TheWoundedFoot]

I was not prepared for how frightening Sillycise was. Horrible acid trip "childrens show" which would have scared the shit out of any normal child in the 90's.

[@deathstrike]

I know this is an old thread, but is Sillycise a test video for Resident Evil? What in the name of the 8 and 15/16 Hells did I just watch???? Please put a warning on those tapes Ben!!!!! ☺️

[@DrewberTravels]

21:11 Ok... I can see the vasoline he rubbed in his eye to make himself cry.

[@iced_coffeelvr1069]

I was not ready for the Silly-cise. I think it's time to take a break from KZbin for a while.

[@PlayButtonPone]

In case anybody wanted to know, someone (not Ben) did upload a full rip of Fathers Annoymous on KZbin.

[@the-NightStar]

Despite your warnings about "silly-cise", I thought "Oh, I bet it's not that bad or creepy or weird. He's probably exaggerating." You were not. This was terrifying and I should have heeded your warnings about how horrifying that would be.

[@TackyRackyComixNEO]

That Silly-Cise video is absolutely terrifying. I feel like I'd have been scarred for life if I saw it as a kid.

[@danmount9462]

It’s time for America’s favorite new show “Where in the world is Ben”

[@thearizonasignalwatcher5789]

Long time listener, first time caller. I lived in the Boulder area about 15 years ago and had a procedure done at the CU medical center in Aurora. Other than that shiny new facility, the town seemed way past its expiration date. Good luck with the move and I look forward to Archive Mark II.

[@adw4169]

There is no way the people who played Otto B.Jolly and Smiley Upcheeks were not kidnapped and forced to star in that Sillycise video

[@bongodoug]

Mr Ben, I truly love your stuff. Thank you for the black box during the Knots movie. See you on the other side.

[@CryptoTonight9393]

a couple of cases of beer a week!? who the fuck drinks a couple of cases a week except a frat house?

[@zakkgrant6190]

was medicating with cannabis and even the warning about hallucinogens didn't prepare me for that fuckery

[@ladylilith6495]

You know the creepy thing? I just realized, about 2 and half years later that I used to have nightmares that would involve the word 'smile.' Sillycise suddenly seems scary in a metasense now.

[@MinoTheShow]

SillyCise is trippy as hell and also extremely horrifying.. need the raw footage to project behind an experimental psychedelic jazz performance

[@SuperCrazyDiscoKangaroo9001]

"Mahogany Knots" looks like one of those movies that would air at midday on Channel 7.

[@SeanDamonGreene]

I'm looking forward to new episodes from Ben's new location. I've enjoyed Oddity Archive for years and am glad it will continue.

[@DrewberTravels]

29:40 Not only will this tape keep your kids entertained but it will be completely intense to watch while you are hallucinating too.

[@daveporter0217]

"That's Gross" felt like one of those cheesy songs from the end of "Bill Nye the Science Guy."

[@NealClewlow]

Hi Box, Sorry to hear you're going to be 10-7 for a while, but I just wanted to wish you all the best for the move, and I look forward to seeing the new (improved?) archive. Please be careful with that Ben bloke who sits behind you - you are obviously the star of the show, but it wouldn't be the same without him, somehow. Keep up the good work!

[@stormsavage6673]

Not gonna lie, that Hydride power ballad sucked, but at the same time it was actually kinda rad. I wanna hear more lol

[@mikemayberry7121]

I am damn addicted to this channel!

[@om3g4z3r0]

Just a tip on finding a new place Ben, stay clear of volcanoes for a while, they seem to be all going off at once. I heard 80s gadgets aren't fond of molten lava, but thats just a rumor of course.

[@Colddirector]

Goodbye, Beautiful Downtown Aurora! BTW, are you ever going to do a part 2 to your music career video? I'd sell my soul to the man in the hole for that.

[@OddityArchive]

Music Career Pt. 2 will be sometime later this Summer--early Fall at the latest.

[@BrandonFesler]

11:28 Shot in Infomercial-vision!

[@josephgioielli]

I can't know for certain, but when the Antichrist comes, all tv will be like Silly-cise. During the "ding dong" song I kept expecting them to slaughter a goat or something. Pure Nightmare Fuel.

[@jamesslick4790]

josephgioielli Ya got that right! I'm entirely sober and I want to claw my own flesh off! It's more like Silly-Cide!

[@wolfgangervin2582]

Someone really needs to send this to Red Letter Media.

[@this_is_angel74]

Wow wow! Another mind melting episode. There is seems to be certain characteristics of the Colorado male. They’re either uptight, conservative and angry. Or goofy and hippified AF. No wonder Jello Biafra left Boulder to make his fortune in San Francisco. On another note, thank you for your show. Having a rough day, and having your show playing on my TV is like comfort food. Keep up the good work and know that you’re making this Guy’s day a little easier

[@derekjtaylor]

Mahogany Knots makes me want to tie hangman knots.

[@superorangecat6937]

Are you chicken "cheep cheep cheep cheep!"

[@ChaunceyGardener]

I need time to recover from this. See you in 30 years!

[@cassette_tape]

The Silly-cise guy looks like he has a silhouette of Arnold (from Hey Arnold) on his shirt. And once you see that, you cannot unsee it.

[@TheGreatPooky]

Great video, I you unleashed the dark side of the underworld. Thanks! I am impressed that someone thought some of these videos were good ideas. Best of luck on your move, hope your new place gives you some inspiration and a little fun!

[@henryjohnson1071]

Call me dumb and stupid, but I want to hear that Hyride album in its entirety.

[@kiernanhowell-mackinley1733]

I now want to email Ben and ask him if there's any way he could convert the whole of "That's Gross" into a digital file and email it to me, and then mash it up with Brodyquest or something.

[@OddityArchive]

It's already on Archive Annex. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHzQo2qtjZmLetE

[@nighttimevideo]

That Airhead song is no Thomas Dolby.

[@KKAkuoku]

Why do I crave to see a full VHSRip of Silly-Cise when I consciously don’t want to?

[@barriep9]

Mahogany knots is indescribable

[@santsipahicentralfloridanews]

Post the whole album nutdick! Ps. Love yo shit homeboy. Really, i need Aryan Airhead. Reminds me of Fire Sign Theatre

[@PeacefulAutistic]

I wonder where you are moving too. Gonna miss it but I hope the new place suits you!

[@wacotablet1055]

So, you're gonna release the Hydride album on the Archive Annex or something, right? Wouldn't wanna have it end up as lost media (no matter how few people would actually look for it)

[@Moneytane1976]

Silly Cise, da honest fuk. I think these were hippy mutants abandoned by Disney

[@zeldajunkielol2]

To be fair, Dads anonymous doesn't look half bad.

[@jackashburn6196]

ikr

[@crispysteve42]

I tried looking on the Funsical website for a copy of Sillycise for sale and I couldn't find it So, is it already online, going to the Annex or will we just have these clips to survive on?

[@MichaelMangi]

Sillycise: I see Video Toaster is still in use

[@5roundsrapid263]

12:47 “Don’t you know HIV is dangerous?”

[@HerrBjork]

I'd love to see Fathers Anonymous. Looks like quite the entertaining movie. Oh, and the Ding Dong Song fits perfectly in Halloween III

[@marktubeie07]

Happy trails Ben - we'll see you in 6 weeks... :(

[@raccoonzers3947]

I've been wasting time online for so long that I've become incredibly desensitized, so few things make me say aloud, "What the hell did I just watch?" like Silly-Cise just did. But you know what? Just seeing the expression on the beer guy's face as he spills his drink all over his crotch made it all worth it. Good luck on your move, Ben! :3

[@sawbonesquad4876]

I dunno man, that Sillycise video only looks fun for people under significant influence of one or more hallucinogens.

[@WinterSteele]

Someone needs to send a copy of "Sillycise" to Red Letter Media. Just imagine that one landing on "Wheel of the Worst."

[@fisitron7256]

Wherever you and the rest of the Archive go, it's better to move than deal with jerks. And the last video made me feel like I was smoking something funny.

[@JoelGetzhasauselessurl]

Sillycise just beat that barnyard yoga kids show in WTF-ness. That album, on the other hand, didn't sound half bad.

[@SirChubbyBunny]

Someone needs to make an IMDb page for Mahogany Knots.

[@JeremyLeePotocki]

27:15 Grandma. Grandpa has gotten into his special brownie stash aGAin.......

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Sillycise HAS to be a pisstake of Psychadelic Hippy Culture right? All the obvious stuff is there, it's like if Hippy Clip Art was a video.

[@OddityArchive]

Alas, no. I believe the purveyor or Sillycise is actually still at it today (at least, he was when I made this in 2018).

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

@@OddityArchive 1. Thanks for the response. 2. Jesus that's sad. It's so tropey my brain immediately went to "this is a joke"...

[@ladylilith6495]

I feel like I need to call an exorcist.

[@PIXPromosMore]

"Mahogany Knots" makes "Ben & Arthur" look like a Michael Bay movie.

[@SableSeraph17]

Godspeed, Benny-Boy

[@mr3urious]

Zoobilee Zoo + LSD + Ecstasy = Sillycise.

[@imrustyokay]

Well, we all have to move at some point. I'm actually sort of in the same boat, I've been living in Knoxville forever and I really need to get out of here. Maybe either Denver (since I know a lot of people there), Seattle (ditto), Buffalo or St. Paul (jobs). Also, can you send me a copy of Fathers Anonymous? I'm kind of a wanna be Cinema Snob and I kinda like to have the material....I'm so shameless. Also, 24:50 sounds suspiciously like what happened in Tennessee in the 30s.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

BEN WAS SITTING, NOT STANDING THE WHOLE TIME?

[@zackstewart4109]

10:27 yeah I can't stand static camera work! I kid because I love.

[@DrewberTravels]

31:51 Is this it for Benny Boy?

[@SteveStalzle]

I still don't know where Ben is going. Does anybody know?

[@SteveStalzle]

SEE THE LATEST VIDEO FOR AN ANSWER, SORT OF.

[@randypanthegoatboy7114]

Okay, did that last segment remind anyone else of that "Happy Smile Patrol" sketch on SNL?

[@dunes8817]

Birdemic is a more accurate comparison for Mahogany Knots. Well, minus the cg gif birds.

[@C1NDR0N3]

please tell me you plan on putting that album on the annex. I really wanna give it a full listen i’d also love to see that play, it seems like best of the worst material, that tops the so bad its good charts, with the goofy songs, and hokey acting, it looks like a good time with alcohol

[@OddityArchive]

As of this morning, I've got the most notable cuts from the Hydride album on Annex.

[@sideshow521]

Sir i need a copy of mahogany knots. I want to review it on my channel. I will defently credit you in the review.

[@OddityArchive]

The Director's already got it on Vimeo. vimeo.com/18574134

[@sideshow521]

Sweet!!! Thank you. Im definitely watching this tonight.

[@jcasillas78]

Jesus, that sillycise video is like a kids show you'd see at the Overlook hotel...

[@InsanePsychoRabbit]

Clearly the transition effects in the Silly-cise video were done with a Video Toaster.

[@Busch22Fan]

You just KNOW Otto, Smiley, and that Dorkerius (sp?) guy started doing it as soon as the camera stopped rolling...

[@timemerson4162]

If Urkel was a hippy.

[@sawbonesquad4876]

ben bro go look into reno divorce and In the Whale. Two CO bands produced by punk legend Bill Stevenson(who now lives in CO)

[@hulavaultboy5935]

Time for an overused joke: Hail Hydride!

[@itme999]

Where can I watch this Fathers Anonymous play? It looks hilariously terrible.

[@adrienfourniercom]

how had you been able to pack every thing?

[@nikguimont8546]

I gonna have nightmares about the silly cise tape

[@ExtremeWreck]

Anti-nostalgia? Don't you mean horrible memories from the past?

[@TheBronxBunnyMan]

What's the name of the punk band you mentioned but couldn't play? Edit: Mahogany Knots is so rigid and overall terrible, to the point that it's a bit funny.

[@OddityArchive]

I think the group was called "Nobody's Bizness".

[@TheBronxBunnyMan]

Googled various terms that would apply, went through ten pages of results, got nothing. Oh, well, it was worth a shot. Thanks, nonetheless.

[@plasquatch]

Don't forget your microphone...

[@Viteaification]

sillycise looks like a badly produced yo gabba gabba

[@7hecu77er]

Pure genius from beginning to end. Or at least from just after the first half until about 50% of the way through. Thanks Dad.

[@robmclean4352]

"Mahogany Knots" really sucks...no offense.

[@ericariley1696]

I must ask this: How can silly-cising turn feather dusters into flowers? It doesn't make sense even in it's own universe. And the dancing is quite creepy. The 80s were weird. And the singing fathers are no better. Hopefully Ben, you'll find better archivish stuff wherever you move.

[@childalpha6954]

It's sad knowing you're moving away from the state I am in currently on another note i never liked Colorado music, too much country

[@zack41564]

Hudride was decent, but this movie is the worst shit ever.
