VNM Special: “Who Watches the Watchmen?”

who watches the watchmen? tv
The New Frontiersman has a new retro Watchmen viral video — “Who Watches the Watchmen?” A Veidt Music Network (VMN) special from 1983. A fun parody of the old MTV specials of the mid-80’s. Check it out after the jump.

  • for a second i thought that "chen" was spray-painted.
  • Brian from OR
    LOL that was great, I was having an 80's flash back watching that!
  • Haha, Veidt doesn't deserve #1, its all about the Comedian!

    I'm a little put off by the fragrance bottle design, the perfect design is in the graphic novel just use that. Now i'm just being nit-picky, got to shut my nerd self up
  • Neat. Glad to see how well they are sticking to the time periods. I wish they did a better job at publishing these.
  • Hmm, I sense some mechanical-behind-scenes meddling to get Veidt's name at numero uno! :p Still, how did the Doc not get a place on that list? These executives are crazy over at VMN.
  • Veidt probably owns MTV.
  • Very nice. It honestly feels real, I legitimately believe this was made in the 80's. Very well done. All of the viral advertising for Watchmen is some the best I've seen.

    See, that's what I was talking about.
  • I bet they are actually going to try to sell Nostalgia.
  • MTV used to be so good in the 1980s.
  • Agreed. I miss the days when MTV was actually Music Television.
  • Wow that was great, really nailed the period! Lots of little touches too, like the smiley at the end. I'll have to wait for a super ultimate director's cut with everything in it.

    ONE SMALL STEP FOR MANHATTAN...

    BRILLIANT!
    No small detail that the order of 'em seems in accord w/ Adrian's own opinions...
    Almost as if he wrote the script himself. HAHA!

    I just finished watching the motion comics on itunes and by what i've seen in trailers it looks pretty much identical. I'm done talking about watchmen and ready for this movie. This is going to be the longest two weeks of my life. lol
  • The viral for this is really creative
  • Heheheh, I think that countdown was a bit biased...what with Veidt owning the VMN, awesome video anyways.
  • yeah, the ordering was all wrong. why would u put silk specter at 3???

    she's sort of a tool in the story.
  • too*.
  • i'm too young to remember the 80s. being as such, i don't really 'appreciate' the 80s.
  • 4site
    That was lame
  • My head hurts after watching that crap!
  • Lee
    Somehow I feel like this "VNM Special" doesn't fit in the Watchmen-verse. From the comic, it seemed like most of the public hated superheros by the 80s.
  • Lee
    ...and why would anyone make this puff piece about them, especially if Veidt, err, I don't want to give away anything.
  • gah
    agreed.
  • drmecha
    LOL @ "Nice costume, Dr. M."
  • Wow that actress did a good job. The whole video is awesome because it's just like the old MTV segments.
  • rodkeys
    Watchmen will not be called Crimebusters in this movie.
  • Where do you get one of those cool Warhol Nite Owl posters?
  • that was great, thanks.
