The story is fucking genius. I think I can speak on the behalf of everyone who listened to it, to ask you for more. It would be awesome to have this as part of a (semi)regular series.
Mr. Smith, Mr. Peck, Mr. Baracus and Mr. Murdoc thank you for so much fun times and your service in the gruesome battlefield of the television entertainment. may your jurney to the stars always be safe! Greate storry OP i was "howling" with laugther when you wrote that they had to sedate one of them on recomendation of the other 3, that was the point i knew it was the A-team!
"You're not getting me on no damn plane Hannibal!!" "It's not a plane, BA, It's a space ship." "Oh, that's different, Okay no problem." zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 😆

Don't feel bad, neither did I. Then the request to put one of them under sedation made perfect sense. Lately I have been listening to short 10-30 minute long sci-fi stories on UTube. My mind was geared for another one of those, not the A-Team.
i got the a-team when it mentioned having to knock one out and one of the 4 being crazy happy about going in to space. howling mad murdoc and ba barackus.
"In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Team."
What gave it away that it was the A-Team was the other 3 insisting on knocking out the 4th member of the team. and the confermation that it definitly was the A-Team was about how a plan coming together. Lol. that was a pretty good way of weaving them into the story with out having some spoil sport trying to sue. I enjoy stories like this 🙂
@@highkicker11 I enjoyed the movie. I thought it was true to the series and a plus was that it had fan service with Peck and Murdock, from the series, making cameos.
It's all fun and games till the black ship sporting a red stripe along its sides comes rifting in with its red glowing rift engines. Que the space A-Team theme! 🤣
“I love it when a plan comes together!” If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and If you can find them, maybe you hire them. The A-Team... In Spaaaaace!
"You need to evacuate" "We can't, we have no means of transport, we need help at at the very least a ride" "Denied, you need to evacuate" "You just proved that you either didn't read or understood the previous message"
Brilliant story! I tracked along with the whole thing, and at the part where the plan comes together, a giant, white bulb flashed on inside my head, and it turned out that it made sense with the people in the car and the phone number. Absolutely brilliant I laughed for 10 minutes.
Same. As soon as they said they had military function in the past and had been specially trained for unsual circumstances, I thought, "wait. Special military? Four people in a ground vehicle? Is it the A-Team!?" And I scroll down to see the comments confirm it.
"Dammit Hannibal, I'm not getting on no airplane." "Come on, BA, it's not an airplane, it's a spaceship." "And you're letting Murdock fly it? That's even worse! I won't do it, Hannibal!"
Don't forget the Swiss Army Knife! And then one about a talking car, or a Mach 4 plus attack Helicopter? Or a man who overdosed on Gama Radiation? "Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
I read a book about the OSS in WW2. The author went into vague detail about how anything can be a weapon. His example was being how to kill with a rolled up newspaper. A weapon is simply a "force multiplier"
Thanks for the laughs! I loved the A team series! My smartphone died about 2 months ago on the same day I almost died. Been stuck in the hospital & physical rehab watching old TV shows ever since. A relative finally brought me a new tablet today. Still trying to figure some of it's features, but managed to get online & on UA-cam. This was the second video I turned on. Listened to stuff from this site before, so I knew it would probably be m good. I saved it in my humor file.😊 Gonna listen to a few more, & maybe watch a funny animal video before going to bed.
"... having great fondness to a plan which comes to fruition." The suggestion they knocked one of them out before taking off went over my head before then, but that's definitely the A-Team. 😂
Here I was thinking it was the Mystery INC gang and the aliens just didn't count Scooby since he's a dog; then they had to mention the military background and one needing to be knocked out at the urging of the other three. I literally paused the video at that point and started laughing. My coworkers thought I had lost it for a moment.
I was mildly suspicious when they knocked up one dude and when they put music to mcgiver the space ship i went to "you gotta be kidding" , the last bit on "i love when a plan comes togerher" had me rolling on the floor😂
While i knew right away this was an A-team reference... all i could think of was... "lightweights." Had this been "stargate" the bandits would all have died... as that gas giant turned into a 2nd sun for a moment. "You blow up one star, and everyone expects you to walk on water."
@@jenniferstewarts4851Yeah, they do. We should complain to someone about it. Unfortunately they don't even have a unified government that you could address these complaints to. Bah.
Oh god... One had to be sedated before the flight... taa ta taa ta ta taa tata tada tataa... Looking forward to what BA is going to comeup with in the fabrication montage :-)
I stopped this a 5:50. They picked up 4 humans, all with military backgrounds and 1 had to be sedated before takeoff at the instance of the other 3. Then they threw them into an orbital debris field, essentially as huge junk pile, and they defeated the enemy with no casualties? .... Big reveal ||the A-team||
I LOVED THAT! When i heard one of theam needed to be knocked out i immediately thought the A team then the reference towards the end to call them and Hannibal Smith "I love it when a plan comes together." Reference. NICE WELL WRITTEN!
Yep, a hand full of nuts and bolts, some string, and a roll of duct tape (along with a Swiss Army Knife) and He can have the slowest of starships able to fly faster and maneuvering better than any space fighter known!!
what would a macgyver and A team cross over be like? a-team :we need to put a gun on that truck macgyver: no. no guns a-team: how about a nail gun? macgyver: ok, but the nails have to be longer than 2 inches, otherwise they are bullets. (to be fair, yea, I know he's ok with bullets coming out of a barrel).
A priceless A Team story. Would like to see this one on the screen. Can we get one with Maverick, too? A Team, MacGuyver, and Maverick. Fun entertainment.
When I heard, "put together a plan..." and realized that it was the A-team, and then was disappointed with myself because I immediately realized that I failed to realize it was the A-team at, one of them needed to be sedated at the insistence of the other 3. LOL.

Great writing and imagination! Thank you! Thank you 😇 😊!'😊😊
Loved it!! I actually thought about the A-Team, when they said that they had to knock one of them out, then at the end of the story, it really was them!?!?! Brilliantly done!👏👏👏💪
LMFAO "I Love It When A Plan Comes Together" made it dawn on me that this was the freaking A-Team, and they had to sedate B.A. cuz he hates to fly. Well played creator!
Imagine humans in the far-flung future talking to aliens and stopping to say "Wait is that a CRT TV? I'll buy that from you they don't make those anymore."
A team being the A team but this also reminds me of Stargate and Thor telling Carter that they needed a specie less evolved than themselves to help with the replicators because they were no longer capable of primitive thinking. Primitive human guns proved to be very effective against replicators.

I was rolling with it until they said one of the people HAD to be knocked out. The goddamn A-Team.
I had the exact same thoughts! BA doesn’t fly well at all.

Edited for typos.
The minute the narrator mentioned one of the four had to be knocked out...that damned theme tune popped in to my head!😅

And of course. On reflection, as we're looking at A-Team in Space, are we going to be dealing with Howling Mad Murdoch or Lieutenant Reg Barclay?

Four men?!
The A team!?
The A Team!!!
Nice 😂
Can picture it now Murdock just floating in zero G's and BA saying "I'm gonna kill this crazy fool".
You are on the jazz man.
I was completely oblivious until he said “I love when a plan comes together “ lol

"The A-Team... In Spaaaaace!" I read that to the tune of the Muppet's Show's Piiiigs innnn Spaaace!

Maaan! NBC really fucked that one up.
i could see this as a reboot
"...as one of four needed to be knocked out at the insistence of others..."
*A-Team theme immediately plays in the head*
I started laughing the second I heard them say one of them had to be knocked out. Cause I knew this was gonna be the A-Team 😂
a step early for me when they mention everything is a weapon for humans and they brought 4 in a transporting vehicle.
Yeah I was the exact same.
Same 😂
This kicked off a A-Team spree on my roku.
First thing that popped into my head too 😂
The A-Team kicking ass in space. I pity the war band. B.A. must have loved going through all that technology and building up the colony ship.
Imagine Murdock in this sh*t
@@Shade_SantiagoThat’s insanity.
Edit: Pun not intended.

4 People, military background. Ok, cool. One had to be sedated when flying. Sounds like BA... Oh shite, it's the A-Team. XD
"One of them had to be knocked out" was the final clue. I'm glad I'm not the only old dude out here watching the missing episode of "The A Team"!
A-Team Fan Fiction... I never knew I needed this.
Brilliant story! I tracked along with the whole thing, and at the part where the plan comes together, a giant, white bulb flashed on inside my head, and it turned out that it made sense with the people in the car and the phone number. Absolutely brilliant I laughed for 10 minutes.

"And you're letting Murdock fly it? That's even worse! I won't do it, Hannibal!"
What you posted would have been a great line in the show if an episode was made from this story.
Great story! I hope the next story is about a man who uses paperclips and duct tape to "solve" problems. LOL!!!
Don't forget the Swiss Army Knife!
And then one about a talking car, or a Mach 4 plus attack Helicopter?
Or a man who overdosed on Gama Radiation? "Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

Looks like Mister Lee will be getting a lot of strange-looking guys visiting his laundry in the near future and asking about the A-Team
Murdock was correct
Well, this sounds like the A-Team has expanded their operations...
After the US pulled out in Iraq and Afghanistan, the A-team needed some action.
And they can be pretty certain that Colonel Flagg won't ever find them out there lol
A ground vehicle with 4 humans. Ok. One had to be sedated for flight. Ooooh yeah the A-Team! Scared of space, LMFAO! Need more!!
I read a book about the OSS in WW2. The author went into vague detail about how anything can be a weapon. His example was being how to kill with a rolled up newspaper. A weapon is simply a "force multiplier"
yeah a couple shoe laces twirled together make a very good garrot ...
I learned how to turn a newspaper into a weapon from a longshoreman when I was about 12. For good or bad it's saved my life twice.
I LOVED this story. The only thing that would have made it better is if they painted it like the van!
Who says they didn't?
@@dataweaverI'd say they surely did it properly. There's always time in a building montage to spurce things up - and that paintjob is important.
Next episode
As soon as I heard one had to be knocked out I realised they picked up the A-team. I was not disappointed.
Best damn episode of A-Team ever
I'd love to hear an ongoing series of these stories with the A-Team...
I knew as soon as they said one had to be knocked out at the insistence of the others. Lmao.
now this is how you write a story, take note hollywood
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them.... I guess they found them.
Sadly, it's been so long since I heard it, I had Airwolf on loop instead.
They're a bit harder to find now, what with them cruising through the galaxy, but they did expand the scope of their operations.
A-Team in space. Still not as bastardized as most of the sequels Hollywood has been putting out lately.
