Thunderpants?! What the hell?

[janradder]

So about twenty years or so ago, when I was on the high school swimming team, a friend and I used to amuse ourselves during the diving portions of meets (anyone who's been to a swim meet knows how incredibly dull and quiet the diving portion is) by imagining one of the divers leaping from the board only to find himself airborne, powered by the incredible force of his own flatulence. He would circle the pool, a brown cloud trailing behind him, waving happily to the crowd. A young child would point to our flying friend with a huge grin shouting, "Look Mommy, Look!" and then wave excitedly back. This scenario, of course, became all the more amusing due the the fact that we were to remain completely silent, thus making it all the harder to keep from laughing and drawing numerous stern, angry, murderous looks from our coach. We'd revisit this idea over and over during each meet and well past the point that it was funny to anyone but ourselves. We thought it would make a hilarious movie. At the same time, I don't think either of us thought it would appeal to anyone except the few losers and dorks like us.

Now, imagine my surprise when I walk into the video store and find this:

If the clip won't play, here's the link to the trailer:

Did I really miss my chance for cinematic immortality?
