I’m not sure what the appropriate amount of time was for this comedy bit, but I think they went for the metric version. They doubled it and added 30 :)
Comic parody of extreme stage fright in a high-pressure competition, and the anxiety snowballing completely out of control. Notice how the "announcer" (all part of the joke) made a big deal about how many thousands of people were watching.
Everyone: barbershop is only the singing. How dare a group break creative barriers by pulling off a majority performance based act. This was so bad. Not funny. Everyone else: where is your gold medal?
They all want to be comedians, are there any quartets that just sing the old standards???? PLEASE HELP, I want to find some nice songs for my mother who is in a nursing facility. Either quartets or choruses, but not choruses that sound like operas.
kevin church I have limited knowledge on every quartet, but most modern ones probably aren’t your choice. I’d say as far back as the 80’s is a good start. The Boston Common quartet is a good one I’d recommend
Barf. Half the video is intro. One third the rest is shaking and one third is recitative/prep. The other third I don't bother to see cuz I'm sick of it.
Some context would be nice. Did they waste their one entry with this nonsense or did they perform more than one song? I’m unfamiliar with the contest format. IMHO the opening bit with the pitch pipes dragged on far too long, but I get that they were overdoing it on purpose.
@@jhagestad as far as i can tell they've already won here, they're wearing their medals and rings. if you want to see their more serious and much less-meta comedy go watch their contest sets from 1996-99 when they won. 98 and 99 are personal favorites
@@PhiladivotJr thanks for the info! Just watched their gold medal winning performances. Very impressive. I can totally see why they go off the beaten path - nothing left to prove. Although I would think that rubs people the wrong way (i.e. not trying to win), but I suppose that’s right as a former champion. My other observation is what a difference in the size of the venues between then and now! From a side room at a convention center to a full blown concert hall.

I refuse myself to have to explain a joke. FRED are absolutely brilliant. The best Barbershop Quartet ever. I love them.
Maybe more of a butchershop quartet.
So... They are supposed to "butcher" barbershop quartet conventions? Lol
The 4 Stooges of Barbershop. So funny and creative
I don't get all the negative comments. How do you not love the narration of Jeff Oxley?
Hilarious! If you didn't expect a parody when you saw the title, I've got news for you

Those with anything resembling an attention span will get a crazy kick out of this one.
Timing was perfect. Wish they had proven so with more harmonies.
So horribly and wonderfully brilliant!
Good afternoon and the way 2hdgfbdbhd bit of a great 3yfu3 to tfff456ff b be 85879
Paul Olguin: really ?
Fred
Congratulations Mike! Dad had great memories of driving with you to MoH rehearsal from SB.
FANtastic!!
Love these guys!
When I heard them do I’ve got rhythm I was sold
Wow, how did FRED become so polarizing?? 🙅
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! If the Three Marx Brothers sang barbershop...
Lol I’m sure the combined IQ of those whiny people who don’t get the jokes in this performance isn’t even in the double digits!
Holy so old I love it
for better comedy and harmony look up "FRED I've Got Rhythm"
Lunch Break - Old MacDonald's Deformed Farm

love this!
What year was this Mike?
I don’t understand the joke, like the guy shaking the pipe. Or why it took so long. could someone explain?

I almost peed myself laughing. They're brilliant
Seems like I came to the wrong place. I wanted to see a barbershop quartet.

They got their medal in 1999 lol
I just realized I misunderstood
LOL LOL LOL
am i the first person thinkin its better to skip the first 6 minutes?
? I mean ??
Got fed up of waiting for something to happen.
wasted 1 1/2 minutes waiting for something to happen. Gave up.
I bet you saw nothing. One shouldn't have to explain a joke. Or you understand it or you do not.
right decision

Thanks for the recommendation
on TH-cam, look up "Acoustix" and "Vocal Majority" for starters...
@@springermusicnet
Thank you
Check out the Four Teens; they were popular in the 1950s.
If you like barbershop quarters just don't watch this it's bad by so many definitions
25 Cent Barbershop.
Bad on purpose for comedic purposes. Take the jokes for the irony they portray, don't sit around expecting beautiful arrangements.
So you missed the pun of butcher shop quartet. Did you miss the pun of butchering conventions of barber shop harmonies also? Their timing was spot on
What rubbish!
Terrible!
Yawn...
Not funny. IMO, of course.
So stupid I couldn't watch to the end.
