# My First Skit - Make it Blue! **Source:** Cary Hardy **Type:** video **Published:** 2020-12-20 **Duration:** 4m 28s **Beat:** Pinball **URL:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGac0S_krv0 --- ## Analysis A comedic skit by Cary Hardy depicting a fictional Led Zeppelin pinball machine art package decision meeting. The skit parodies the Led Zeppelin pinball release by showing cost-cutting art choices for Pro/Premium tiers and a humorous debate over powder coating colors for the LE cabinet, featuring a reference to the 'Blue' song by Eiffel 65. ### Key Claims - [HIGH] Led Zeppelin pinball art packages feature different album covers for Pro vs Premium tiers — _Skit dialogue mentions Pro uses third album, Premium uses first album_ - [HIGH] Premium tier art was created by cutting costs by directly copying album cover art onto cabinet sections — _Character states: 'I literally did it myself I mean I took their album cover and I just like blew it up like 200 and then I just like copy that image on every section'_ - [MEDIUM] Led Zeppelin LE features 'swan song' as thematic element — _Character references 'the swan song' when discussing LE version_ ### Notable Quotes > "I literally did it myself I mean I took their album cover and I just like blew it up like 200 and then I just like copy that image on every section of the cabinet I don't think anybody's going to notice." > — **Character (fictional art director)**, ~0:45 > _Humorous commentary on perceived cost-cutting measures in Premium tier art_ > "Make it blue!" > — **Character (fictional decision-maker)**, ~2:15 > _Running joke/reference to 'Blue (Da Ba Dee)' by Eiffel 65_ > "I have a blue house.

Clank Abudidadabudai Michael Klietz ... Huet What? Oh... Much better. I'm just listening to this new song Pretty sure that song is over 20 years old now. I doubt it You know, it's not worth it look the the art packages are in for Led Zeppelin sweet Let me see what you got. Here you go. All right, so with the pro we're going with their third album.
