I first watched this in 1983 when it came out and I videoed it. I watched it time and time again now 40 years later it is still as funny as ever.

[@unfortunatebeam]

this is brilliant. still hilarious after 30 some years.

The best thing the Comic Strip ever did. Compare this with todays "comedy" and its embarrassing.

If only the youth of today watching this realised that this is an accurate representation of wannabe bands in the 70s and 80s experienced 😂

This is how it should be 😂
I'd be happy if the one man and his job had a great time

Timeless genius! As brilliant today as it was all those years ago. The only bits which aren’t funny are when the band is “playing”.

Was this before spinal tap?

[@davidwhite4874]

Around the same time.

This was released in 1983 and Spinal Tap came out a year later.
