The Killer Mutant Metalliod Skull Gerbil Warriors Trilogy
Oh God, middle school. But we suppose we have to admit to having these. They're what happens when Claire and Lindsay and Keith started playing with the video camera for the first time (though we also wrote scripts for them). We had these pet gerbils, we had an afternoon to kill, so we made a short, cheesy video in which gerbils fill in the role usually reserved for big, toothy monsters...and then we went and made two more on other occasions. The bright side to them is that Keith said the line "Hi, I'm the hotel manager, an ex-nu-uun," the intonation of which no one has been able to duplicate since.
