By now, you've probably seen Jimmy Kimmel's "Handsome Men Club" video. It's been all over the web this week, and for good reason: it's slickly produced, packed with superstar cameos, and completely hilarious.
Too bad the whole thing was ripped off from the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Yes, the Leafs have had their own very similar private club for decades. But few people know about it, so apparently Kimmel thought he could steal the concept, tweak it slightly, and pass it off as original work.
Nice try Jimmy. Unfortunately for you, Bloge Salming has top secret footage of the most recent meeting. And now we're posting it for the world to see.
(Special thanks to Vintage Leafs for helping us track down all the photos.)
Made me almost piss myself.
ReplyDeleteAllan Bester below the rails - AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteThe Bester, Borchevsky "Unbelievable" quote from his 93 OT goal and the ownership parts were Awesome.
ReplyDeleteGreat job again guys
Curtis
Crash The Crease
Eddie Shack may actually live under a bridge now. He lived a street over from me when I was a kid, but I can no longer account for his whereabouts.
ReplyDeletePatrick Lalime? Fuuuck you. Awesome.
Awesome-O.
ReplyDeletePhil Kessel - most accurate depiction.
ReplyDeleteMan oh man that is one heck of a video. You really should convince some tv network to make you a show. I mean honestly you're that good.
ReplyDeleteI love when Phil Kessel speaks.
ReplyDelete"Who's turn is it to decide where we order from? Wait...shoot."
ReplyDelete"Focus, Mats..."
Awesome.
"Awesome Leafs ownership?"
Silence.
Awesome.
"Chris Durno?"
"Awesome. Wait, what?"
Just about shit myself laughing.
That was Awesome... Durno, loved it.
ReplyDeleteI was really on the fence about this until the very last gag.
ReplyDelete"Double Double"
"It's too late, Mats"
I embarrassed myself at work from laughing out loud.
I can't believe Aki Berg isn't a member...
ReplyDeleteNice work, lads. Loved that you put Motor City Smitty in there. What an odd phenomenon he was.
ReplyDeleteThanks to you, now i have an unbeeleebabbuh message alert!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
total and utter brilliance, the jokes come fast.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant
Great stuff -- especially Lalime.
ReplyDeleteBut.... where is Todd Gill?
I was expecting Leeman right after Iafrate. Even so, very funny stuff!
ReplyDeleteI was expecting Leeman right after Iafrate. Even so, very funny stuff!
ReplyDeleteNo matter what else was in the video, the fact that you had Lalime there makes it worthy of 5 stars.
ReplyDeleteJust awesome
he's fighting the copy machine
ReplyDeleteis it okay?
it's bleeding.
this was pure genius
unbeeleable....
Awesome stuff DGB.
ReplyDeleteSomeone on here will know. Whats the name of the song they play at the ACC when the Leafs win?
It's called Heave Away, I can't remember who made it but I think it's a Newfy folk band.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, this was hilarious. Great work.
how can Conn Smythe be an awesome GM but not awesome owner? I guess his 11 Stanley cups and creating Maple Leaf Gardens doesnt stack up to Foligno's career in the blue and white Maple Leaf.*
ReplyDelete*Conn Smythe also invented Blue and White Maple Leaf
When they were filming this Aki Berg must have been in the washroom.
ReplyDeleteThat's the only logical explanation.
Did a spit take on the Allan Bester siting
ReplyDeleteI have to say that this was awesome - lots of great references.
ReplyDeleteThere were 3 that I need help with:
- Cujo/Foglino
- Danny?
- Chris Durno
Can someone help out on those?
@PJ...
ReplyDeleteFoligno/Joseph: see here
Danny: Crazy Russian defenceman Danny Markov
Durno: See here, about halfway down.
