America’s got a Blue Man Group knock off

But they seem pretty clever. I’ve never seen the show America’s Got Talent or even the UK version that I have to assume exists and the original idea was licensed form was licensed from. That’s OK, one good “homage” deserves another. From this clip, it’s apparent that a group of frat boys got together to make their own version of BMG, and it looks surprisingly good.These frat guys are called Defying Gravity. They’re ex-frat guys actually, I guess they dropped out of school to be on the show. I hope it works out for you guys, but you need a new name. I guess it’s at this point that I’m going to need to add some sort of “circus” category, seeing as how this isn’t the first time we’ve had skateboarding mentioned in conjunction with the circus. Defying Gravity takes on a bit of skateboarding in this segment that reminds me a little bit of some of those fingerboarding videos where they skate on turntables with fixed obstacles.

    I’m afraid a lot of countries have their own version of ……. Got Talent..(sigh).

    Speaking of circus freaks -and I mean that with the utmost respect- Rodney Mullen would be proud of that 50/50 no hander.

  2. I thinks it’s more a knock-off of this internet video.

  3. Their one almost redeeming trait is that they use music by the Glitch Mob…
