Starring Nobody In Particular
Directed by Neal Israel, Bradley R. Swirnoff

Joost has one channel, custom-made for my occasional desire for cinematic self-abuse: The Really Bad Movie Channel. There, I found the burn-out comedy Tunnel Vision, in the same vein as Amazon Women On The Moon or The Kentucky Fried Movie – a stream of semi-funny, slightly ribald SNL-esque skits. The goal of Tunnel Vision is to lampoon terrible television, but I couldn’t quite shake the feeling that it’s too easy of a target and genuine, unintentionally bad television is often funny enough and in large supply on YouTube today.

Anyhow, as typical with the shotgun approach, I found a few bits fairly amusing, namely the fast food broccoli restaurant and a rock concert where the audience is invited on stage to pummel the musical group. There’s also a bit of political satire that has a decent bite – namely an oil company commercial that applauds the great benefit of killing those pests the ocean fish via oil spills.

But don’t get your hopes up. Despite having some brief appearances by John Candy, Chevy Chase, and Al Franken, Tunnel Vision is a complete waste of time – don’t bother!
