Friday Night Fights--You've Been Gonged Style!!

Well, you rascules, it's time once again for Friday Night Fights, and tonight, we've got special judges!!

But first, the fight!! Three of the Fantastic Four are in Hollywood!! Why? The unthinkable has occurred (at least for 1977)--they're making an FF movie!!

But those pesky movie making types, they're altering things a wee bit:

Oh, Sue, you're so quaint...just wait until the 90s, and you'll be wearing far less (on foil covers, no less!)!

But of course, the giant Thing-Bot goes berserk:

Oh, yes, they're in a Hollywood studio, all right. So where does Bashful Benjamin Grimm get tossed?

Oh, my god, it's the set of the Gong Show, the legendary show created and hosted by legendary game show creator/secret CIA assassin (seriously!) Chuck Barris!! And celebrity judges!! Let's watch:

Wow, what a fight!! What do you have to say, panel??

6!?! A six?!?! Oh, come on now, that had to be at least an 8, right, Spacebooger??

The height of 70s culture was brought to us by Marv Wolfman, Bob Hall, and Bob Wiacek (with Marie Severin doing uncredited inking on the celebrity faces) in Fantastic Four Annual #12 (1977).

Now, since someone brought up the Gong Show...



Now, I don't want to talk myself up, but when you decide to vote, consider this: what other Friday Night Fighter cared enough to bring you the Thing fighting a giant Thing-Bot, on the Gong Show, AND also gave you a Gene Gene The Dancing Machine video?? None, I would think. So vote. Or next week I'll break out the Unknown Comic. Don't think I won't...
