Visiting Day

Visiting Day
From the tenth episode of the Sopranos, the super delicious Adriana La Cerva is convinced that her ex-boyfriend, Richie Santini’s new Alternative act is destined for success and somehow convinces her boyfriend, Christopher Moltisanti to bankroll a demo for a Rap mogul who they managed to meet.


The music was actually very bad and pretentious, but the memory of Adriana dancing to their song, (whatever it was called) was what many dreams were made of.

TV Show Appeared:
The Sopranos (1999)

They stunk.

Vince Everett

Vince Everett
In one of the few Elvis Presley movies that did not completely suck, Jailhouse Rock was the story of Vince Everett (Elvis) who made good. Again, we will cling to the King of Rock and Roll in a role that did not totally embarrass him as a win.   Seriously, if you look at his overall body of work, this about as good as it got for the “King”.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Jailhouse Rock (1957)

Actor:
Elvis Presley

Songs you might remember:
Jailhouse Rock

Why you should vote for him:
This is the “King” after all.

Why you should not vote for him:
Realistically, every Elvis movie stunk was sub par. This was “less sub par” than others.

Vesuvius

Vesuvius
The Heavy Metal band that kicked Robert “Fish” Fishman (Rainn Wilson) out of the group in place of the nephew of a record executive to gain a contract, Vesuvius entered the pantheon of fictitious bands with eyeliner, hairspray and lip-syncing. It was not the best fake band, but it may have contained the funniest people.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Rocker (2008)

Actors:
Rainn Wilson (Robert “Fish” Fishman) (Original Drummer)
Will Arnett (Lex Drennan)
Fred Armisen (Wayne Kerr)
Bradley Cooper (Trash Grace)
Lonny Ross (Timmy Sticks)

Songs you might remember:
Pompeii Nights

Why you should vote for them:
This is a pretty good collection of funny people.

Why you should not vote for them:
At the end of the film, the band was revealed as frauds.

Vamanos Pest

Vamanos Pest
Yeah, we know this isn’t even a real fictitious band. However, we couldn’t help but honor one of our favorite television shows of all time in Breaking Bad. When Walter White looked for a new way to cook meth without being detected he came across the idea of using fumigated houses. Enlisting the help of the comical and incompetent duo of Badger and Skinny Pete, we were treated to them buying roadie equipment for their band. As the stenciling came free due to the high volume of the purchase, the band name of “Vamanos Pest” was used. We hear they are big in New Mexico.




The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Breaking Bad (2012)

Actors:
Matt L. Jones (Badger)
Charles Baker (Skinny Pete)

Songs you might remember:
None, Bitch!

Why you should vote for them:
We admit…you really shouldn’t.

Why you should not vote for them:
Not only was this not a fictitious band, they had no musical instruments in the cases they purchased.
