Who's that greaser?

October 6, 2011 1:59 PM

A few years someone made an FPP of an actor doing just the worst monologue ever. He was dressed like a greaser, but the video looked like it was from the 80s. Anyone have a link to the FPP or remember anything about it?

I think the end of the clip had a part of the movie the dialogue was originally from. I am like 50% sure it came from some 50s teenage gang pulp novel and someone was dying in that scene.

Original FPP for the same video (the old one is a dead link now)

Yes, that's it! Wow, it's been so long I forgot it was a piss take.

Wait, so that video wasn't legitimate?

I guess that makes sense, but still disappointing . . .

It wasn't a piss take.

According to his follow-up video, he did send a tape to Kubrick, but not this one. I don't know whether that's true or not, but I do think he's a legitimately funny guy.
