Tube of the Day: TAI TV Double Duel

Today is my day to present you all with a ‘Tube of the Day’ and I’ve chosen you all a little treat. This video is just one of a series of short films, made by and starring the band The Academy Is…

Other videos include Butchers nightmare, and Panic! In Scotland. But this one has to be one off my all time favourites. I’ve seen it many times and it still cracks me up. It tells a story of revenge, as our lead character played by The Academy is… front man William Beckett, discovers who stole money from his Grandmother. Several meetings follow, in which Beckett enjoys rubbing a toy gun over his face and sauntering about in extremely tight white jeans. The story comes to a head when the thief challenges Beckett to a double duel. This is where it gets good. But you’ll have to watch it to find out what happens.

The camera work, editing and continuity leaves little to be desired, but hey, what homemade You Tube video doesn’t? But it is funny. You don’t even have to know the band to get this. It is just pure brilliance.
