Jason Bateman + Alyssa Milano + Mr. Belvedere + Nintendo = Classic YouTube goodness

January

Speaking of Rye native Jason Bateman, there’s a great YouTube clip of him hamming it up with Alyssa Milano backstage at the 1988 Ice Capades. The plot thickens when the Super Mario Brothers—on ice, no less—must save the world from the menacing threats of King Koopa, played by “Mr. Belvedere” himself, Christopher Hewitt. Naturally, it’s a shining beacon of ‘80s savory goodness.

When I wrote about this for my personal blog, Varsity Basketweaving, here were two of my points:

Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ I think Bateman is a great actor (seriously!) and nothing conveys this better than the way he is cheesily thrilled to find a “Nintendohhhh!” game system, as if he just found his lost doggie. Bonus points for gushing, “I’d love to play!” while gripping a controller. And the Emmy goes to….

Ã¢â‚¬Â¢ My absolute favorite part: At the video’s 4:30 mark, after Luigi has vaporized various enemies, check out the Hammer’s half-hearted approach to vanquish the green-clothÃƒÂ¨d plumber. Just sad. With sad meaning hilarious.
