• Yes, but at the wedding there WAS drink involved. They'd laugh at anything.

• The biggest problem here is that 'Superman II' isn't a classic movie. It's kitsch. And it works in neither its Richard Lester nor its Richard Donner cut. Zod is a one-dimensional character, who reduces the film to a stupid black-and-white tale of good versus evil, all the more disappointing in the wake of the first 'Superman' film's fairly adult (albeit somewhat cartoonish) meditation on the nature of American myth-making.

• Dear lord that is embarrassing.

• if your going to do a superman skit at your wedding, couldnt you atleast get good costumes? a a short sleeve superman shirt over a long sleeve shirt is the most effort you could put forth for your wedding? thats bad times, bad times.

• Dear Dangerous Nan Please explain how finding my husband-to-be endearing for re-enacting a classic movie to entertain guests (and myself) at our wedding reception makes me lack class or self respect? Self respect comes from (ironically) yourself, not what others think of you. As a bride at an unconventional wedding that is still fondly remembered by the guests 6 years later, I'd say I have my fair share of individuality and class also. Signed Fellow Girl Nerd

• I don't know, whenever I see stuff like this (which seems like every day) I just feel like its staged. Like that video of the drunk woman who knocked down a pole and caused a tent to collapse on the guests that was actually just a Heineken promotion. No one pays for a whole wedding just to have it ruined by a stupid bit. They probably did it when all the wedding festivities were winding down and the grandparents had left and everything. Or it was staged entirely.

• Dear Dangerous Nan, I have plenty of class and self respect. I also have a great sense of humor. What I lack is a stick up my bottom. Signed, A fellow girl nerd. It's a reception. Some people have dj's, some people have choreography, some people hire Batman...it's a party. Anyone want to crash any of my family events dressed as a supervillain, feel free. A good fourth of us are nerds and would play along to break up the tedium.

• Dear girl nerds saying this would endear them to their man, Have some class and some self respect. Signed, A fellow girl nerd

• gotta agree with you... i have a friend who was a pro wrestler and just named his first kid kal-el; so i watched that to make sure it wasn't him. but i was surprised to hear the audience's reactions; definitely a higher percentage of people cringing at that skit watching it on youtube than of those actually watching it live.

• You gotta love the low rent costumes. Bow to Zod or face the wrath of his duct-tape evilness!

• Another on the long list of reasons why I loathe cosplay. It's like the hobby for people who don't have a "filter".

• Looks to me like the groom hired Zod (and Non) to do their, uh, thing and that the whole wedding party (well, his side at least) was in on it, with the best man awkwardly roped into "playing" Luthor. Props to his new wife. There's no real shock when this stuff happens at a nerd + nerd marriage, but when she's "normal" and not only lets it happen, but goes along with it. Well, that's love.

• I just kind of skimmed over this yesterday at work. But the way it was being described, I thought these jackasses showed up in the middle of the wedding or something. It's the damn reception. Everyone's drunk and doing the chicken dance. A weird little skit about Superman instead of the 10th speech about how great the groom is and how they're perfect together was probably refreshing to the people in that room. Also, if you're the sort of person who would do this at your wedding reception, I'm sure your new wife and in laws have already realized you're that guy. I seriously doubt they went home saying "Oh, he seemed like such a normal boy before this!"

• Here's the thing: If you can do something like this at your wedding, it gives me hope you are doing the ceremony for yourself, and not for parents, family, or significant others' expectations. Which speaks great things about the solidity of your relationship.

• I prefer the space lords.

• Just because you wouldn't do it at your wedding (and it's the reception, not the actual ceremony, for pete's sake) doesn't mean it was wrong that these people did. It seems like it was a good time for all.

• My friend's uncle got drunk and wandered into a reception for a different wedding, being held at the same location. There he decided to throw up on the wedding cake. This was less embarrassing than that, and only proves that "normal" weddings can be far worse than anything a nerd can dream up. While I won't be doing anything like that, I say good on them for having fun. I liked it.

• But what are they gonna do on a Twilight related one? Look at each other lovingly while grinning, shifting Eyebrows and Sparkle? Have a furry seduce a baby? At least the Supes one was entertaining...

• You sure guys are really nerds? I don't even like Superman and I fucking HATE wedding skits, and I felt the urge to kneel before Zod. The fact that only 10% of the audience gets it makes it even funnier. Nerds rule the world. Don't ever apologize for it.

• That guy got married and I can't even get a date? (:: loads shells into shotgun, puts barrel in mouth ::)

• LOL. I'm guessing it was the guy who played Zod who suggested the idea as the groom looks completely embarrassed from the second he steps into the room. Anyway, the audience seemed to enjoy it. However, personally I would have gone with something more current. How about the Joker's scene where he gatecrashes the mob meeting in The Dark Knight?!!

• I'm going to go ahead and agree with the positive comments here. When I read Rob's description I was expecting a drunken skit of dorkiness interrupting the wedding ceremony while horrified guests watched on in awkward silence. But it wasn't like that at all. They did the skit during the reception where everyone is drunk and having a good time anyways. There was genuine laughter in the background and the bride looked happy. It's not like the skit was filled with obscure nerd references that no one would understand, it's superman. Even my grandmother knows superman. I say power to them.

• You people trying to put this down, you are stupid. And wrong. And a bunch of complete pussies. Do you not realize the genius, hilarity, awesomeness, and overall greatness of this? Of course not. Because you're stupid. And wrong. And lest I forget... a bunch of pussies.

• There is an awful lot of nerd bashing going on here at a nerd site. I agree with Sassafras, as a girl nerd, I would absolutely enjoy this if my beloved (guess I'm more of a bat fan then) organised this. The guests and family all sounded they were having fun and this will be a memory everyone can look back on (as opposed to the other thousand bland weddings people go to).

• Dudes. What is wrong with all of you? That was amazing. The crowd obviously loved the hell out of it (or maybe you didn't hear the loud cheering and laughter), and the bride looked absolutely smitten. I mean, if she's marrying the guy, she already knows he's a nerd. That kind of stunt would be expected. If anything, it was touching and sweet.

• This is... horrible... Even if I was the biggest Superman nerd on the planet, I wouldn't want this to happen at my wedding. Even the guy playing Zod's dumb henchman is smart enough to look a bit embarrassed about his role in the whole thing.

• I have to disagree with Rob. This is awesome. Cringe-worthy, yes, but still freaking awesome.

• Hey! Gimme back my duct tape!

• So is it bad that I said "Bring forth the lirpa" in my toast at my wedding reception?

• Yeah. You know what? If the bride and groom enjoyed it, fuck everyone else. Who the hell cares? And the type of person who would plan this would already be enough of a geek that their family and friends would expect it. Honestly, grow some balls, nerd community.

• Yeah, because clearly, nobody was in on this joke. People normally attack party crashers half assedly with rulers and crawl away after one fake punch. honestly, do you people not realize that some families are not complete bores?

• And the Nerd Brass Balls award goes to...

• it was really unique and fun.

• Oh my gos this hurts my sense of reasoning. At what point in your adult life do you think this is a good idea? Like really shame on you. You give nerds who found love a bad name sirs, a bad name

• Ouch, Rob's right, this is like chewing tinfoil. I made it to "telecommunication device" and had to mute the rest. But that li'l duct-tape Z over his left nipple will haunt me forever.

• Give it a few years. Any major Twilight fan whose 14-18 years old right now will probably want it at their wedding, which will of course be as soon as they graduate to continue the "mythos".

• Agreeing with the Man with Two Brains on this one. Wouldn't do it at my own wedding, but it would have been fun to be there as a guest. It showed that this was a couple who were neither conventional nor dull.

• ...but does Zod do proms and bar mitzvahs?

• Only a complete douche would do this at someone's wedding. And only a deluxe, family-sized douche would look on approvingly.

• That was cool and I'm not a Supes fan... At least it wasn't Twilight related...

• the groom should be happy he gave his bride a wedding she will never forget what every bride wants and also happy the bride did not turn around and file for a divorce right away though doubtfull zod will be invited over for drinks any time soon.

• Apparently none of you can see how much the rest of the room were laughing and applauding. I'd never do this at my own wedding but I think everyone in the room was having a good time, and knew what was going on to some degree. I'm normally one of the people who cringes at extreme awkwardness (which makes it hard to watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm" sometimes) but this was not awkward to the people at the reception from what I could see, so while I agree it's kinda shameful, it's still fun.

• I'm actually glad that the video ran into an error halfway. That was painful!

• A friend of mine asked me and another friend to do a skit based on Forrest Gump and Bubba at his wedding reception. Of course, neither one of us is black, and our friend was Korean, so you can imagine how well that went over.

• I stopped Watching as soon as "Lex" revealed his true name. That was painful.

• This is a prime example of N.W.S.S.-Nerds Without Social Skills. We're all big 'ole honking nerds and proud of it,but theres a time and a place for everything. Reign it in boys-you're scaring the straights.

• I thought it was great. As a lady nerd I would love it if my future hubby did a skit at our wedding. Every wedding is the SAME why not make it different?

• That's it. I quit being a nerd.
