The All-For-Nots: I Think I'd Rather Watch The Actual Monkees

thumbnail icon: The All-For-Nots: I Think I'd Rather Watch The Actual Monkees

The All-For-Nots are a fake band made up of "musical actors from Williamsburg" (ooh!) whose fake tour is the basis for a web series backed by Michael Eisner. Watching their most recent episode, in which they get into a fake fight at a college and do a lot of that kind of "parody" where one mentions how big you are on MySpace and Facebook constantly, I got nostalgic for the first big fake band to which this New York Times article refuses to compare The All-For-Nots, probably because they're boring and The Monkees actually made good music.

Watch this, it's bad!:

Or watch this, it's good!:

The All-For-Nots' spokespeople make such a big deal about how they hired actors with musical backgrounds, when they probably would have been better off hiring comedians.

it didn't really help that their first stop was state college...pretty much the worst music scene ever here. which actually makes sense that they would stop here now that i think about it.

Oh, thank you, thank you for posting the Monkees because that other show was just horrible and I needed a palate cleanser.

Wow, that IS bad. And I can't tell if it's supposed to be funny or not. Do these band members even know each other?
