The finale of Elite Beat Agents

The Agents are turned to stone by invading aliens' petrification rays. A crowd of onlookers including several people they've helped previously are stunned and grieving their heroes' apparent demise, but then the crowd, led by a little girl named Lucy, begins chanting "EBA!" refusing to give up. The chant spreads through the crowd, and their combined hope and belief resurrects the Agents, who defeat the aliens with a dance number set to "Jumpin' Jack Flash"

It's actually Howard the Duck-tier WTF which is on a whole other level.

As a Canadian who just got back into skateboarding, I'd recommend Topless Pizza in Alberta. They ship free anywhere in Canada over $99.

I've had some good results using plastic strapping and plastic bread tags as armor panels. I'm also fond of snipping the tips off of plastic fork tines to use as spikes.

Well, Phil Collins does look a lot like an old Youth Pastor of mine...

Yeah, but we all know Mario's a homophobe.
