NKOTB announce tour by spoofing selves in hilarious YouTube spot

To announce the tour, members of NKOTB aired a hilarious video which spoofs the band members by turning them into toy figures that belonged to a young fan of NKOTB. The members switch from real-life to toy figures as the fans' mother (played by Andrea Barber — Kimmy Gibler on "Full House") lightly chastises her for playing with her NKOTB dolls before completing her household chores.

The spot includes nearly every conceivable — and awful — NKOTB pun.

The tour run nods to their second-ever tour that played 220 shows from 1990-1992 in support of 1990's "Step By Step" album. The original shows featured magic and illusions, but this time, Wahlberg is tagging music as "the true 'magic' of this tour … The moments and the memories that we get to create — and recreate — with our amazing fans each night," he said in a statement.
