Some people are funny. You ain't. Writing humor is a talent. You don't have it.
Hilarious. Offset complement.
Bravo, you have a great sense of humor in the service of a truly original idea.
Other series are planned?
Genuinely brilliant! And finally, we have a Martian Slut-Ray. But that Venusian Prude Elixir, that seems to be a very bad idea.
So I really used to enjoy the A-team and I liked the movie remake especially when they tried to "fly" the tank. This wasn't nearly as funny.
Wonderful! Hannibal, Face, Murdoch, and BA must have enjoyed this also. Considering everything that happened in that show, it was incredible not one shot ever hit somebody or anybody died from other things. Can we please send the BTB team to the February Sucks universe to put a final and fitting end to Linda, Mark, and their former friends - extra crispy please ;)
Amusing. If the reader has not seen "The A-Team" it probably would be lost on him.
It's a funny criticism of loving wives, but dammit, those story tags are as bad as 2000-2005 stories.
That was superb.
The "I don't know what to tell you. There are just two teams. You gotta pick one. I don't make the rules." Line killed it.
5*
LOL I LOVED IT!!! As an 80s baby I enjoyed the references. Thanks for the laughs.
An iota of humor, but not much entertainment, and NOT what I'm here to read.
(I guess I'm just not an 80's type of guy!)
Not recommended ....
Now THAT was one heck of a story!
I couldn't help chuckling at how good you cloned the characters of the A-Team.
You just nailed it Mr. TheNewGuy.
Thanks for the laughter.
Hilarious. 5*. You already got 5** for the description of the A-team characters.
Murphy screamed, "knock, knock!" I lost it, I spewed soda all over the place! Funny stuff! Loved the A-team idea...2 pages of solid chuckles!
In an effort to phit in with the story I should coment as the proper anon. This was the best story every. It was also so very terribly. Zero and 500 starz.
Any A-team parody needs an explosion and paramilitary guys flying through the air.
Plus Murdoch needs to acquire a helicopter for the final showdown, and at some point they need to drug B.A.'s milk to get him on a plane.
THIS WAS GREAT !!
Yes, I recognized the references to the A-Team show on TV... and every other cliche in this VERY well done tail of snark, humor, and poking fun at the LW category itself !
I'm sure there will be critics who complain that it's in the wrong category, too short, too long, or something else...
Ignore them !
There aren't enough stars in the system, so I can only give you 5 of them... but it deserves more, and I wouldn't be surprised if this story posts a 5 total score...
Wow, I wonder what the anony who made the first comment thought of George Carlin.
I beg to differ, you worked all the classic tropes into... something different... and it did bring some laughs.
There's a heckler in every room, and they're usually the first ones to open their mouths.
well that was a gut laughing ride back in time. fit the A-team characters to a "T" soooooo FUNNNNNNY. thank you thank you. MORE please. always need a good laugh
Being of a certain (advanced) age, I laughed my ass off the entire time I was reading your story. The bit about choosing between the BTB-Team and the RAAC-Team is genius. Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning.
Beware anonymous snipers in the margins. Call the the BTS squad. Wacky tale, perhaps a cautionary tale for those who jump to judgement.
I am old enough to remember the original A Team. Excellent work. Loved it. Five stars and an a+.
This was actually a funny story. Nutsack ants was brilliant. If you were not familiar with the A-Team the story might seem ridiculous but if you read the story in the spirit of what the author intended, it was really very clever and humorous. I actually laughed out loud a couple of times.
Clever, very clever and designed to please or piss off most of the loving wives readers. I guess that's why I liked it, not a first, as it started with the satire. By the time it reached the end, I was enjoying the author poking fun at the genre, the readers, and certainly the trolls.
Does the BTB team work with Banacek when they need investigative help? I got a laugh out of it.
There were a couple of laugh out loud moments in that story. Fun little romp.
That's a clear 6.
Your parody is spot-on and funny. Don't waste your time with serious stories (at least til I read your other ones).
Fantastic!
Brilliant satire exposing the extreme exaggerations so often found in the Loving Wives category. We’ve needed this!
"Look, Ted," Nero interrupted. "I don't know what to tell you. There are just two teams. You gotta pick one. I don't make the rules.”………Spot on the money!
The insanity presented is funny it itself. Lotta laughs throughout…The final question…”Was that my car?”…perfect!……Hahaha.
Thanks for your thoughtful creativity, ThatNewGuy…Well done!

Ew Ouch! I guess anon never saw the A Team. It was a fun, tongue-in- cheek story and it was was funny, at least a little bit. LOL!
Not bad, but I was expecting something else.

Too many stories have husbands who have skills and/or resources beyond what the average husband has available to him. The idea of a team that can provide those skills to the average guy has promise.
Shoulda gone with a classic like 'Fight Fire With Fire' or 'Seek & Destroy'. Rocking up with something off Hardwired as your theme song just feels corny. Well... maybe that's the point.
A “tour de force”!
.
Or something 😎

Pretty sure this is the first story I’ve read with an actual Martian Slut Ray! Fantastic!

5 *****
This isn't the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. It is hanging out, depending on your point of view, in the top or bottom of the list. A fun, silly, read. Nice work. Thank you.
Immensely funny! 5 stars! I'm not sure if your Aussie, Brit, and Kiwi readers are familiar with the A-Team but for watchers of a certain age of American TV this spoof is spot on. Well done!
I'm going to give it 4*, would be 5 but now thanks to you I'll have that theme song in my head all damn day
Well was different, wasn't funny, wasn't talented was more a rip of and should have been stuffed in the celebrity section keeping the characters original. I can't even rate this.
I found this hilarious! I want more adventures of both the BTB and RAAC Teams!
Silly story, light read enjoyed it. No negative comments from me. Other people don’t get it, these are free stories that people actually work hard to write.
Hilarious. Dripped with 1970s TV nonsense. Smiled the whole time I read it.
You went too far even with the parody. Having them find the martial slut ray was nice but you took the joke too far down the path. The flamethrower as well.
You had some good lines.
I thought it was pretty funny and very satirical of the A-Team. The anonymous commenter just took the story too seriously and possibly has little sense of humor!! 5 ⭐️.
Creative plot idea--some would find it more humorous than others. Personally, I never cared much for any of the actors in the series, so...didn't find it too enthralling. Writing skills adequate to the task, though.
Keep writing. If you enjoy it who cares what others think....

Very, very funny. Love the comment that there's only two types, BTB or RAAC and nothing in between.
I really liked what they did to the Pilot - that part was indeed funny. Saw the MSR coming a mile away.
Always hated that show, and this doesn't make it anymore palatable! Just plain stupid!!
Lighten-up anonymous! It was entertaining as it was meant to be. This site exists to entertain not to submit works for a Pulitzer! If you don’t like someone’s work, don’t read it! It’s not like someone is holding a flame thrower to your head!!
A very enjoyable bit of light hearted parody. I suspect Harddaysknight would approve. I haven’t thought about The A-Team for probably a good two decades, but you brought it (them) back brilliantly. Made my morning. Nicely done. Thanks very much.
Hilarious story, despite the fact that I have no clue about the background. Lot's of green highlights.
Here are a few:
/women in happy marriages don't trash their vows just because some guy sends a dick pic."/
/Does your wife have a car we can borrow?"/
/"Don't worry. It's all part of the plan."
"What plan?"
"Trust us," Chase said./
/For the next five hours, I endured a cacophony of deafening noises: banging and clanging, scraping and pounding, drilling and sawing, the awful rending of metal, and a sound like frying bacon that I knew could only come from arc welding./
/I trudged to the door and stared at what had once been my wife's Pilot. In its place now sat what could only be described as a miniature tank./
/"Your face says it all," said Nero, grinning. "You're welcome."/
/"Don't tell me how to drive!" /
/"It's Stanley, isn't it?"/
/"Venusian Prude Elixir," Nero said. "Immediately counteracts the effects of a Martian Slut Ray. /
/"Oh, we don't do this for money. We do it because we love our work. /
/Our team isn't really into nuance. We provide a simple service. Do you want that service or not?"/
/Between aliens, slut rays, and four strangers with a flamethrower, you must have a ton of questions."/
Well, this story made my day. Good fun. Thanks.
No way the use of the Venusian Prude Elixir is allowed in this unique site! We're proud suporters of the Martian Slut Ray! Without it, the Literotica output of "Loving Wives" stories would for sure suffer and with the shaky economy, the legalization of pot, the global warming, the safe the whales, etc., etc. it would lead to a total meltdown of the sales of condoms in the planet leading in return to an unsustainable overpopulation of the planet...!?!? Finally, I wonder when they will propose to change the name of Planet Earth for something more politically correct? Humm?
5☆ for creativity and excellent writing. I'd tack on another if I could for humor and another for cleverness.
George Peppaed, Dirk Bennidict, Dwight Shultz and Mr T would be ashamed of you.
5***** I love it when a story comes together, and I pity the fool who don't like it. A-Team Forever!
