Griswald's are vacationing again

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

No spam song, but they were a hoot. They were competing that year and stopped in to visit us on their way to the convention. One of their contest songs was a medley (including a hilarious rewrite of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat") talking about the hardships of viking life.

They didn't place too highly in the contest, but they sure won over the audience at the convention by, first, having a couple of their members kidnap the M.C. as he was announcing them, and then at the end of their set leaving the stage in an unconventional way -- instead of waiting until the curtain closed and filing off quietly, the entire chorus charged downstage and jumped off into the judges' pit, snarling at them as they filtered past into the audience.

The Entertainmen always find a way to be funny. I've heard a recording of previous songs they've performed in contest -- one of them played on every Swedish stereotype there is, including several references to meatballs, and even worked in the Swedish chef song from the Muppet Show (complete with "bork, bork, bork!)!!! They're a fun group of guys.
