Disco Beaver from Outer Space

This movie couldn't be funnier! It shows life in front of the TV screen. The countless hours one sits in front of the TV set,watching the vast wasteland of TV programming. HBO probably wouldn't show it now, in fear of the Politically Correct Crowd. Let's face it! 23 years ago people didn't have thin skin and could laugh at life. Remember, Ben Franklin said,"All the world is Queer except thee and me -- and sometimes I wonder about Thee"

I saw this years ago when VCR's were indeed rare among my friends of 20-ish movie and TV buffs. We watched this on a regular basis and laughed our -- well, we laughed a lot. If you liked SCTV, early SNL, etc., you'll enjoy this closet classic. It's first class satire, not politically correct, and ridiculous, but most of all, it's funny. I still love that awesome theme song! If you can find it, rent it. (And remember, "if you carry your books funny...")

Back in the late 70's when HBO was new, I saw Disco Beaver on HBO. Best I remember, it was a rather disjointed film, but hilarious. I'd love to get a copy of it from somewhere, and it doesn't matter what medium.

I still remember when this first came on HBO and looked for it for years in the video store and on the net. Verry funny and a classic for it's time. Also includes an Oingo Boingo song "Martian Girls" which is a triple speed version of the Beach Boys "California Girls" in New Wave form. I highly recommend it if you can get it and would like a copy myself if anyone has one.

I can't believe I've actually found a place where other people have seen this movie too! I saw it on HBO shortly after it came out in 1978 and have been looking for it for the past ten years. I remember the title song, but not much of the movie, except for the beaver costume and his dance. Have been looking for a copy to buy, but if not available commercially, would be interested in getting a video copy. This is a great site!
