What happens

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 (and bipedal) beaver; and the antagonist, a gay vampire called "Dragula". Among the various side gags (which arise as the "viewer" channel-surfs) is a short concert by a stereotyped band of Irish singers called "The Spud Brothers" (potato-shaped puppets). Tagline: National Lampoon's mockery of everything that is wrong with cable TV. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
