Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced is a 2002 Norwegian mockumentary about a fictional Boy Band called Boyzvoice. The band consists of M*Pete (Espen Eckbo), Hot Tub (Øyvind Thoen), and Roar (Kaare Daniel Steen), three utterly talentless musicians who are unable to get a single note right, performing songs that wouldn't even be acceptable on Eurovision. When they attempt to expand into the American market, a series of scandals quickly derail their plans, and they are dropped by their label like a ton of bricks. Just when it seems they've hit rock bottom, they manage to find a sponsorship deal — with a seafood manufacturer. And it all goes further downhill from there...Think of it as being Norway's version of This is Spın̈al Tap. | |

Gratuitous English | |
| Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced / int_2e6a41e0 | comment |
Gratuitous English: Pretty much the only English words Timothy actually knows are, "I'm a boy." When M*Pete confronts him on his limited grasp of the language, he indignantly tells Timothy that he may as well be communicating to English speakers, "Hello, I'm a big dork." | |

Stylistic Suck | |
| Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: All the band's songs are utterly vacuous, uncreative, and poorly produced, embodying every negative stereotype associated with boy bands at the Turn of the Millennium. Some of these songs, such as "Cousin", feature extremely inappropriate subject matter on top of the aforementioned technical incompetence. | |

Ode to Youth | |
| Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced / int_5d04596d | comment |
Ode to Youth: "We Are the Playmomen" is a musical tribute to childhood innocence and imagination, with the band members as Playmobil figures. | |

That Syncing Feeling | |

That Syncing Feeling: Things start to go downhill for the band when the CD that they were lip-syncing to starts skipping during a charity concert. | |

Pædo Hunt | |
| Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced / int_6220c00d | comment |
Pædo Hunt: During an interview, a news reporter reveals that M*Pete's girlfriend Stine, who is supposedly 16 (the age of consent in Norway), is actually only 12, having lied about her age. The singer does not take this well at all. | |

Punny Name | |
| Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced / int_6d7026fa | comment |
Punny Name: Possibly; M*Pete sounds very similar to "impede", likely alluding to the band members' questionable musicianship. | |

The Hopeless Replacement | |
| Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced / int_7d76c5f1 | comment |
The Hopeless Replacement: M*Pete falls ill just before Boyzvoice are due to play at the Hit Awards, and is replaced at the last minute with an obsessive basement-dwelling fanboy who won a contest to hang out backstage with his favourite band. Despite a mimed performance with a stand-in for the group's most popular member, their Hit Award appearance cements their position as a Europop sensation and catapults them to fame and fortune. | |

| Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced / int_8a800d36 | comment |
Bilingual Dialogue: There are a few scenes featuring dialogue in both English and Norwegian, most notably those involving American record company CEO Brian Kauffman and the commercial that the band members shoot for Frionor Seafoods. | |

Kissing Cousins: The subject of "Cousin", where M*Pete sings about how he finds a young woman sexually desirable, but can't act on it because she's his cousin. | |

Sad-Times Montage: After their rejection by the American music label, the band members are seen giving interviews lamenting how everything they've been doing up to that point has been for nothing, set to an instrumental version of "In the Air Tonight". | |

Elder Abuse | |
| Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced / int_93789581 | comment |
Elder Abuse: During a charity concert, manager Timothy Dahle physically assaults two elderly members of the local Salvation Army branch, which in combination with the band members being caught lip-syncing causes public opinion of the band to quickly plummet. | |

Language Barrier | |
| Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced / int_a56e3cba | comment |
Language Barrier: Despite having an English given name and the fact that most Norwegians his age are essentially bilingual, manager Timothy Dahle has a very limited grasp of the English language, so when American Record Producer Brian Kauffman announces at a meeting that his label isn't willing to risk one million dollars releasing the band's new album in light of their recent scandals, the only part of it he can understand is "one million dollars." | |

Hope Spot: After the band's plans to release their first album completely disintegrate, they consider leaving the music business altogether, but Timothy manages to find them a sponsorship deal — with Frionor Seafoods, a Norwegian fish finger manufacturer. | |

Jerkass: All three of the band members are this to some extent, but especially M*Pete, who on top of being an inept musician is an utter sleazebag willing to sleep with girls just barely above the age of consent (which is 16 in Norway). | |
