In Which I Offer Up My Obsession With Zac Efron

You can call me Zac

Gentle reader, last night I told me eldest daughter it was my plan to divorce her mother and gay marry Zac Efron. I advised her to get used to the idea that Zacky was going to be her new dad as quickly as possible. I did this because A.) I am the best Dad ever, and B.) Zac Efron is the most dreamiest dreamboat crown prince of unintentional comedy that ever was.

My daughters are twelve and seven, so I’ve seen “High School Musical” (or at least been in the room when it’s on) several times now. Zac’s big show stoppin’ song and dance tirade ‘Bet On It’ is so howlingly hilarious I was quite literally reduced to tears the first time I saw it. Check it out!

I’ve memorized large bits of the choreography and will sometimes burst into song and sometimes spring from my chair during breakfast. At work I lope maniacally past my co-workers cubicles, shaking invisible dice and advising them to “Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on me!” There’s something undeniably appealing about taking Zac’s boyish, cluelessly over the top intensity and forcibly translating it through my quivering, spastic middle-aged body. I won’t lie; the ‘ladies’ love it.

I want you to consider the many, many moments in your own life that would be best responded to with an homage to Mr. Efron’s “Bet On It”. Ideally I’d like to inspire thousands of people to adopt performances of “Bet On It” in its entirety as a response to tense situations. Imagine how scared your boss would be to tell you there are no raises this year if there was a fifty percent chance you’d soon be prancing around him shrieking about listening to your own heart talking and counting on yourself? How could any girl turn you down if in doing so she ran the risk of being exposed to a hip-wiggling, homoerotic, Zactastic performance of “Bet On It”? I honestly don’t think there’s any situation that wouldn’t benefit from a profoundly felt tribute to Zac’s artistry.

C’mon, sing it with me you splendid bastards! “Bet on it, Bet on it, BET ON IT, BET… ON… ME!!!!

"Eh, Zac Efron is so pretty any guy can gay marry him and still be considered straight. And now for something comepletely different. You guys need to get on youtube and look up: Ace Ventura Rising (re cut)-The prequel to Ace Ventura; the story of a mad criminal. We see here how through paranoia of the world revolving around himself, that Ace, (formerly known as Truman Burbank) had comepletely lost his mind. Agents Mulder (David Duchovny), Scully (Gillian Anderson), and Carter (Chris Tucker), must do all they can to get this made behind bars; dead or alive, before their own deaths become inevitable.

ALL OF YOU MUST see this "trailer" for yourselves and for your country..."

I know I speak for everybody when I say that we need to see some video footage of Max Burbank prancing around while singing his best rendition of "Bet On It". Max, I know you have access to video cameras. Film yourself doing this and I'll host the video right here on I-Mockery. You know you want to.

Your children must have run out of tears long ago. Hey Rog will we get some sort of prize in exchange for our dignity if we enter a video?

I happen to have the "Bet On It" single and I'm perfectly willing to volunteer it so Mr. Burbank can choose between the classic mix, karaoke or party mix to dance to!

Max's extensive training in the thespian arts will surely put him good stead when he finally puts his interpretive dance skills to work and busts out with the definitive "Bet On It". Here is the best part Max, think how embarassed Nick would be if he saw it.

Nick is my older brother, and I don't think he'd be embarassed at all, having once won a Karioki contest by singing both the male and female parts in Meatloafs classic "Paradise by the Dashboard Light"

I am working on mastering getting video on to my computer, and while "Bet on it" will not be the VERY first thing I do, I promise its near the top of my list.

Honestly, Isn't it the most captivating performance of the year? Even more than doing it myself, I want the power to just snap my fingers and have him doing it wherever and whenever I want.

C'mon Max you have to do it now, RoG put the challenge up

I need to acquire all the necessary technology.

Is he running through a golf course?

Max, that was the funniest thing I've seen since your brother won that Karaoke contest (I gotta know right now!). But it would still take the cake if you filmed yourself hitting that golf ball and then saying "I've got to work on my swing!" "Bet on me!" indeed. Outstanding.

I could only watch a minute of it, then could take no more. By that point I was crying with laughter.

I think Max totally has a shot with this guy. There's no way Zac Efron is straight if he willingly did...THAT. And was proud of it.

I bet he's a bottom.

Nothing warms the heartstrings like true love... except maybe fire.

I like how he's dancing around on that Windows desktop background.

Daisy (Guest) on 01/17/2008 2:34 am

haha..wow..and sadly that entire song prolly took weeks of intense dance training. That's what i call amazing choreography!

It seems like this Zacefron 'guy' not only has a name that sounds like a new allergy med, but also owes someone 1100 dollars for that freshly planted sod he has just stomped all over.
On a more unsettling note, could you imagine the fruit such an unholy coupling might produce? Please think of the implications to society as a whole before you rush headlong into what may be a purely emotional venture.

Zak is a hottie, no doubt. I'd like to see Max, Rog, and Proto prancing around on Video to 'bet on it'. Could make it a company production.
Zakky is the hot in my hottintotts though.

Him and scott bakula.

and Hugh laurie.

I am ashamed.

I think what makes it is his complete and utter commitment to the performance. Whatever one thinks of him as an actor, singer or dancer, there is not one iota of his being that is not fully given to his performance.

I'm an acting student...along with english and film. Damn, I work too much. Anyhoo! My teacher tells me that even if you were cast as, say, a homicidal drunken abusive father with a rage complex (Hello, Max)you should do it with dignity.

Zac has failed.

ok that is a riot

Boo (Guest) on 01/17/2008 1:14 pm

INdeed. I still think the castof I-mockery should get together at a random golf course and preform this song.

Max=Hawt. Rog=Hawt. Protoclown=Meh. acceptable.

and the others iv'e forgotten.

with pickle hats.

Max, I don't want to hear your "I don't have the technology" excuses. We all know you can dance, it's time to SHOW us!



User avatar

wobzire on 01/17/2008 3:02 pm

This is the part where you would start shooting at his feet.



User avatar

mburbank on 01/17/2008 3:02 pm

I can SHOW you, but without the technology how will you SEE it?



User avatar

Deep...

Just dance your way over to California and show him, it won't even be that exhausting, you'll be havin' too much fun to notice that you've been dancing for months straight.

mlvassallo (Guest) on 01/17/2008 5:48 pm

Ok, I have never seen High School Musical but I have to ask... does it take place on a golf course? It is some type of pre-teen musical caddy shack? Does that chick who is nude in the photos get nude in the movie?

If the answer is yes to all of these- I deem it a must see.

Poop on a Stick (Guest) on 01/18/2008 12:44 am

Say, Max, you could have like a pre-loader for all upcoming movies you make that says something like... BRAND Max Burbank, BET ON IT!

This would truly be the defining moment of our lives. Even the people who haven't seen it would immediately feel uplifted...bettered.

...Or dissolve into a fit of maniacal..manic..ol... ...Crazy. Laughter. One of those.
