I was only referring to the red and black flag waving around, the blonde leader kid, the military marching, the French title, the occurance of two of the blonde kid in one frame (like in the TAC, when the singer is standing in front of the screen), and the fact that they're singing about Terrence and Phillip's impending execution (There's been speculation that they are named after Mann and Quast, respectively). If you really want to compare it to something other than Les Miserables, I'd say West Side Story for the constant references to "Tomorrow Night". No need for snippiness, I just thought it would put a smile on some people's faces.

Both La Resistance and the Act I finale of Spamalot are deliberate parodies of ODM. -------------------- God is behind everything, but everything hides God. Things are black, creatures are opaque.

I apologize, I must've misinterpreted this. I thought it sounded like you were sarcastically implying that there wasn't much similarity between the two.

I am aware that it is a direct parody, my original post just had the link to the video. I assumed that everyone would've picked up on it.

Feel free to post a video of the Act 1 finale of Spamalot in this thread, too!

Sure, it's obvious that it's a parody of One Day More after you've viewed it, but come on, not everyone has. Hell, I don't really watch South Park and I had no idea this video existed. What's your bone to pick with Astor?

The internet is a pretty sad place; I've run into enough people who didn't get that it was a parody that my expectations were pretty low. Sorry.

I'm sure I could track down George from Seinfeld singing Master of the House somewhere... EDIT: No, nevermind that. I found something far more amusing.

Eh, it's cool. There are plenty of idiots out there. ;-) Just thought that was a bit of a jump to conclusions. I hold no ill will.
