I stumbled upon this video on Stereogum today, a remake of "Maximum Capacity," a classic Roboshithead video. It brought back memories of laughter and awkward absurdities...
Roboshithead was a mysterious group of talented weirdos who made the kind of lo-fi comedy I've always wanted to make. Chuck Stern was one of them and I hear a guy named Ian was one of them too. Supposedly the guys at Peking were also down.
I discovered Roboshithead on MNN on a balmy spring night during the vernal equinox of 2009. Or was it 2008. Eh, it could've been 2010. No, it was before that for sure. The first video I saw was Lallypal: The Man, The Beast. My jaw dropped as I watched...
And I was instantly hooked. I saw more and more of their stuff and felt what it must've felt like to watch TV Party back in the day.
Then I saw this...
And this...
And this...
And this...
And this...
and the infamous Maximum Capacity.
And then they disappeared from MNN. And I was sad.
But now they have a channel on YouTube where they've uploaded all their videos. And I am blinking happy.
