“From Nobodies to ROCK GODS” CO-OH!-BRA is Surprisingly Funny
I’ve never liked 80’s hair bands, but I had a friend growing up who thought the men in those bands were the sexiest things alive in bandannas and denim. Mmm, mouth-watering, right? Ha.
If you miss those men (or even if you don’t – so basically, just if you have a pulse), you’ll enjoy CO-OH!-BRA. It’s an 80’s hair band, or rather, a show about them. Lucky for us it’s not a reality show. It’s scripted so the jokes are on purpose and not sad.
These webisodes have scripts that are often more than decent, they even got a few laughs out of me. At first I though the jokes and the show in general might resonate more with someone who knows more about hair bands. But after watching episode 1, episode 1.5, and episode 2 – I can say that it’s just funny without prior knowledge of anything else. (The guy rockin’ the drums is probably my favorite character.)
In episode 1.5, Chad says that he loves pickles on his chicken sandwiches. If they DON’T put pickles on the sandwich he’ll fight ‘them’ – and ‘I’ll also probably KILL them’. So, uh, beware! Web TV has another good show.

I recently saw this web series after seeing advertisement on Facebook. I’d have to say that my favorite character is Mike Michaels.I don’t know if it’s the red bandana or the cut off shirt… Definitely an original series!

Mike the Misery is my favorite. His Three’s Company joke in episode two had me laughing pretty hard.

Mike the Misery Michaels is by far the best character. He’s bringing back the bandana and jean top back in style

I vote for myself. Getting beefy in the gym for upcoming episodes and world tours. Check out Kollmine, my former band. Whatever.
