Brothers Hines: Moral Montage

by Will

[funnyordie 8212431415 nolink]Kevin and I made this video (thank you Cat for filming) and showed it at our Cagematch two weeks ago. Previously, our videos had been deliberately overly-cute montages of our childhood photos. This was more of a sketch and even though it went over well, it’s probably not as appealing as photos of Kevin at the age of 12 holding a model of a solar system in our kitchen.

Still, I was glad to do it. For Christmas, Kevin had received a DVD of the He-Man Christmas Special. Brilliantly, they include a montage of the morals that ended each He-Man episode. Watching just the morals — all stilted and weird — was hilarious! I really wanted to do a Brothers Hines version of it, which is what led me to push for us to do the above video. I added in the overtly aggressive religious manipulation because it makes me laugh, because I was baptized Catholic and I associate Catholicism with ham-handed moralizing and maybe also run-on sentences?
