“I’m The Thing, Baby!”
Behold The Thing: The Musical. I know we’ll all love LegoLambs for their stupendous Schwarzenegger musicals, but honestly, I think this might be their masterpiece. There’s just something about The Thing doing a Sinatra-style number than makes me feel like watching this video is staring into the nerd fan video monolith, dig? Infinite thanks to Terjay and everyone else who sent this in.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
