What will they think when Colby comes out of the closet and introduces them to his partner C3P0? Nick, aka Li'l Brian Bosworth, is going to be so pissed.
Also, who knew that 20 years later, a little outfit called American Apparel would make a fortune charging young people good money to look like the kids in this video?
I am going to print out a screen shot of "shouty Nick" and take it to an expensive hair salon and force them to make me look exactly like him. It may cost $200, but it would change my life.
@Johh: Flip & Flop are the agnostics because "they can't do anything" for Colby, and Nick is an atheist because he won't befriend something that's man-made. Think about it. (And, as a general rule of thumb, we heathens tend to be a haughty and disagreeable lot, anyway.)
@Ryan: Actually, American Apparel doesn't make a fortune. AA's 2009 outlook is anywhere from $1m net loss to $4m net profit and the stock continues trading between $3-$4 a share.
First of all I think "Colby" is obviously this kids perverted uncle. Come on, who builds a 5'6" (approximately) robot with human like musculature and movement, coupled with an all-too-cute display and interface. A psychotic child-raping freak may, but probably easier to get his niece/ nephew who he's locked in the basement for 12 years to sew up a "Colby". What does "Colby" stand for anyway? C.reepy O.ld L.unatic B.eating Y.oungsters ? C.razy Ol.d B.astard Y.ahtzee?
PPS. Wardrobe found these outfits in the American Apparel "Kids Chambray Pastel Collection with matching Neo-Nazi Braces"
Here's a sad but true fact... When I was a boy I was in a church play based on Colby... and it was exactly like this video. I am ashamed of my life!! I was the kid that pushed the button on the back of Colby that caused him to go "out of phase"... Think I should revive my role and see if we could make it to Broadway?
WHY!?!?! WHY WOULD YOU EVER PRAY FOR A ROBOT!?!?!?!?
I appreciate the fascist idea of friendship presented by Colby's supporters... how dare Nick question the idea of being friends with a computer.
And why would anyone want to be friends with ANYTHING that can't play games? He's programmed for friendship, yet doesn't even know the definition of games?
COLBY was programmed with all the scriptures of the bible. I don't understand... why would COLBY want to be prayed for knowing that he has no soul and God will not help him?
I'm just glad that a video starring an anthropomorphized robot ends up with the human children looking like demons. Hooray!
A-fucking-men, kid. I can name all the bounty hunters that Darth Vader sent after Han Solo, and I want to give that kid with the coke bottle glasses a wedgie.
As if a Christian robot doesn't raise enough questions, they made a flamingly gay Christian robot. I think Colby was built to drive the local youth pastor insane by making him answer the most confusing religious questions possible.
I was seriously on some "This video's themes from the christian right are ridiculous, mildly NWO-ish." Then the show warped into awesome. And now I'm all, yay lucifer! EIT is teh shti
#Robert Madewell Some lurking ended me up at the church responsible for her death. Listen to the intro, Terrible if anything http://www.unleavenedbreadministries.org/audio/studies/onehour/eells-10-25-09.mp3
I will also admit to being in a Colby musical as a kid. Hideous clothes, floppy discs, roller skating robot and all. I was one of the minor characters, but my shame is anything but minor. My parents have the whole thing on video somewhere.
You guys, Colby clearly has a soul. The nerdy kid's dad killed a homeless man and put the hobo's heart and pancreas inside the computer. It may be a used soul, but it still works.
Without a soul, the scriptures wouldn't compile. Think things through before you drop theology.
DUANE can barely contain his sheer terror of Colby.
I'm sure subsequent therapist costs far outweighed the overall budget of this video, which was clearly shot on the Barney the Dinosaur set after-hours.
YES! I totally remember this, I actually had an audio casette version that I listened to a lot as a 6 year old... it always creeped me out that the main message seemed to be that robtos have souls... and gay voices.
Well, Coby is in a scrap metal yard somewhere. Wow, a computer that gets sexually excited every time it thinks of the Bible? Talk about a useless computer.
Hi all! Well my name is Brandon and I actually am that guy who played David in this video. It was pretty fun back then. However I agree it was pretty silly.
I thought the voices in the Peanuts films were odd, but here we have kids shouting all their lines while speaking 50% slower than normal.
But Nick's humanistic concern about the rise of robots is actually touching and more clever than you expect from this kind of program. Perhaps time will show him to be an ancestor of Jehanne Butler.
to everybody who's a hate including you nathaniel: this show actually changed children's lives to live for the lord instead of the world it encourages kids to read the bible, and it also helped me not to go to jail, and if you say colby stands for that.then you're name "Nathaniel" mean this Nanobot, atheist, emp"t"y,haughty,atheist,nonbelieving,empty,use"l"ess, that is what your name means if you don't retract your comment from before, i'll retract mine if you retract yours first, and the show colby's clubhouse and those other videos actually changed my life, how, should i say if i didn't see that show, i'd probably be in jail or still in school until i turned 21 yrs old, thanks to the show it helped stay away from jail and other bad things in my life. did you parents have spanked you on your heiny when you misbehaved yes or no, or did you enjoys those spankings, since whoever says "someone is a pervert" remember this saying "it takes one to know one" which this saying implies you are one too. i know that the show colby's clubhouse people are not perverts why, what kind of television show will have a pervert in their program and around children, what kind of employers would they be if they didn't do a background check.

I wrote a long, witty comment, but my computer got a sore circuit and the webpage went out of phase.
These costumes are giving me '80s flashbacks. Must... resist... pile of... YCDTOTV VHS tapes!

Flip & Flop must be the local Agnostics.

THE MORE YOU KNOW.
this is the whitest video i have ever seen.
Silly Colby!
Robots don't have souls.
Is that "a little New Testament" in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
Every back yard needs a bully with a flat top!
"We prayed for Colby and he's still not all better!" (2:08)
They said that about Kara Neumann too.

Captcha is "rumbj"
Some of the best stuff so far. Care to provide the full footage?
OH YEAH?
YEAH!
It's kindof ironic how the voices for the computer and the floppies sound gay.
Nick is my new hero.
Is Colby related to Alexis?
thanks for posting this...I missed part of it when you showed it in STL. I had to pee.
The girl with the pigtails played Barbara Hershey's daughter in "Beaches." Yeah, I guess that makes me pretty gay.
Nick is like a young Biff Tannen, if Biff had been a butch lesbian.
Here's a sad but true fact... When I was a boy I was in a church play based on Colby... and it was exactly like this video. I am ashamed of my life!! I was the kid that pushed the button on the back of Colby that caused him to go "out of phase"...

Are you serious? Please say someone taped this Colby reenactment. Make it happen and you'll be a hero!
Colby? I suppose he's some kind of Audio-vibratory physio-molecular transport device?
Aww. Those soul-less vessel offspring of the coming cyborg apocalypse are sooo cute.
Oh so you don't want to be a robot Nick? All you have to do is Pray, NICK, PRAY.
WHY!?!?! WHY WOULD YOU EVER PRAY FOR A ROBOT!?!?!?!?
I appreciate the fascist idea of friendship presented by Colby's supporters... how dare Nick question the idea of being friends with a computer.
And why would anyone want to be friends with ANYTHING that can't play games? He's programmed for friendship, yet doesn't even know the definition of games?

I've never been prouder to be called "Nick".
Wish you could find an unedited version of this video. I bet it's even more funny than this.
I will also admit to being in a Colby musical as a kid. Hideous clothes, floppy discs, roller skating robot and all. I was one of the minor characters, but my shame is anything but minor. My parents have the whole thing on video somewhere.

Wow! who in the hell dresses kid like that, and those hair cuts. My god.
Was that DUANE?!
Those keys on colby's (musical) keyboard are positioned in a very precarious position.
Colby arch nemesis is Moham-a-bot the Muslim computer.. he can sing a song about any passage in the Koran.
@kozu and @annalee
The whole episode is on Youtube.
Look, if you guys want to go get some LEEEEUUUNNNNCH I'll stay here till flip and flop get back.
And maybe drop some bad acid.
DUANE can barely contain his sheer terror of Colby.
I'm sure subsequent therapist costs far outweighed the overall budget of this video, which was clearly shot on the Barney the Dinosaur set after-hours.
DUANE DUANE DUANE DUANE DUANE
1:52 Lil girl: Maybe we better pray for Colby.
Nick: "Ya, well you go pray in one hand and s**t in the other, see which one gets filled first."
What a bunch of discs!
This is the most fucked up - yet funny - thing I've seen since I saw a cat with a stick stuck in its side 5 minutes ago. Priceless!
YES! I totally remember this, I actually had an audio casette version that I listened to a lot as a 6 year old... it always creeped me out that the main message seemed to be that robtos have souls... and gay voices.
Thanks for the terrible memory!
I too thought it was Duane.
Man, the worst part of this whole video that makes it actually bad, instead of hilariously bad, is the fact that I WATCHED THIS WHEN I WAS A KID!
Woof!
This is your masterpiece, by the way.
Join us Nick, become an unthinking robot like your Christian brethren!
We did this play at my school! It was just as bad ass then. St. Paul's Elementary.
Yeah Nick, he's special, you f*&^%*g ass$&*e!
*BLEEP* *BLOOP* PRAISE JESUS! KILL JEWS!
the whole colby thing is online, just look for colbys missing memory

Well, Coby is in a scrap metal yard somewhere. Wow, a computer that gets sexually excited every time it thinks of the Bible? Talk about a useless computer.
perv.

holy shit dude. wouldn't you hate to hang out with a bunch of kids who screamed at you everytime they spoke.
"HEEEY!!! HE BROUGHT COLBY!!!"
"well thats cool I guess. Why are you yelling?"
"COLBY HAS BIBLE SCRIPTURES!!!"
"That's nice. You mind talking softer?"
"HOW CAN YOU BE FRIENDS WITH A ROBOT!"
"God damn it quiet down!"
Nick looks like a young Ron Perlam
The comments on this video are some of THE funniest I have ever seen!
