Disco Beaver from Outer Space


Disco Beaver from Outer Space is a 1979 American science fiction fantasy comedy television film. It is an early production by National Lampoon, and was made for HBO.
The short film is a collection of comedy sketches, contained within the main story which is centered on two characters: the protagonist, an extraterrestrial in the form of a human sized beaver; and the antagonist, a gay vampire called "Dragula".
Among the various side gags is a short concert by a stereotyped band of Irish singers called "The Spud Brothers".
Tagline: National Lampoon's mockery of everything that is wrong with cable TV.

Plot

The film is essentially a shaggy dog story, leading up to a single play-on-words joke based on "beaver" also being a euphemism for female genitals. At the film's climax, the vampire is frightened by the Beaver; in his delirium, he begins seeing double, thus seeing two images of the Beaver. He cries, "Split beaver!" and disintegrates.
