This is one of my favorite parodies of successful movies. Closet Cases of the Nerd Kind is chock full of 1970s movie jokes. Everything happens in this short, from singing mailboxes to Darth Vader on a motorcycle.

As in Hardware Wars, Closet Cases plays like a film trailer telling you about a film coming soon. Mild-mannered sewage worker Roy Dreary is supposed to figure out what all the pie references are supposed to mean.

This is simplistic fun, but if you didn't live through the '70s, you probably aren't going to get it. If you did, prepare to laugh.

No Suction!
