Superheroes really are popular in movies and tv right now, so I decided to put "insanity" and "chaos" in a Heroes parody. They decide on the team name of The Oddballs...which "insanity" believes make them sound like a weird pair of testicles. "chaos" has the power of mind control (much like the Matt Parkman character in the show 'Heroes'), but "insanity" is not really sure of his ability.
I came up with the idea while writing other scripts for my series. Honestly, it started out as an afterthought. But I quickly realized it was a funny idea, both story-wise and visually (doing an homage to Heroes was something I wanted to do).
Copyright laws are strict these days, it makes you wonder if you can even mention certain properties. This is why in the video, "chaos" warns "insanity" not to mention 'Heroes' on NBC, the phrase "d'oh!" from 'The Simpsons' on FOX, even the common phrase "gimme a break" -- because it is the Nell Carter sitcom from the 80's, as well as the jingle from the Kit Kat commercials.
In the clip, I am wearing Naruto gear -- specifically Kakashi's.
My nephew, B, helped me a bunch with this video. He helped with recording and making suggestions. One major suggestion was the very end where I peek through the door and say "Yeah, baby! Yeah!". I did that just to make him laugh (he was saying that all day), but he said it would go well with my whole thing of copyright infringement. When he said that, I thought it was a great idea. So thanks again, B!
Here is the Oddballs signal:
