Rock ‘N’ Roll Olympics, Episode 2: Andrew WK vs. Shane from the Divorce

posted by on April 13 at 10:51 AM

Welcome to our new video series, Rock ‘N’ Roll Olympics! In these videos we take “rock stars” that you may or may not have heard of and make ‘em do silly sports in an epic battle of the mind and spirit. Then we declare an arbitrary winner (in the endgame, there is no real winner).

Enjoy our second episode featuring Andrew WK (?) vs. Shane from the Divorce!

Make sure to check out our first episode with Leslie & the Lys vs. Scream Club while you’re at it!

Yeah. I don't think that's the original Andrew W.K. At this point though - original, new - what's the difference? Well, except for ten bucks to watch that guy drunkenly bang on a keyboard. I guess that's the difference.

I agree, I don't think it's the original frontman. Reading all those AWK condpiracy websites gave me a headache, and I think all the codes and mystery over an act comprised of vapid party music is misdirected energy, to say the least. But, I also don't think it being a different guy makes that much of a difference. He jumps around, shouts about the ubiquitous "party" experience, bleeds on something, fin. It's like mall Santas, you don't need the original to get the idea.

Bah, I still think Pete-za-party should have come onstage and given Mr. WK the ol suplex, or maybe the atomic drop, but that's just me

My favorite line:

"And fuckin' do it, braahhh."

It was sort of like Dave Chappelle's Howard Dean:

"BYAAAH!"

Ari, even though you ruined the death of Captain America for me, I must tell you that I think you're my favorite slogger these days. It probably means little to you, but I had to tell you anyway. "And fuckin' do it, braah!"

Oh Sam, consider my heart in your palms, just like Captain America's was when he died. On the front page. Of Slog. I killed him.
