really? this is slog-worthy?

Posted by TheRealHank on August 3, 2009 at 11:24 PM

Meh... Other than the George Michael Bluth nod, and the trucker hats, they've done better.

I'd rather see them playing instruments.

Less than three weeks. Gonna be fun.

Posted by Renton Mike on August 3, 2009 at 11:26 PM

I got to about 1:15 before I couldn't take it anymore.

Rap is really not their strongest talent.

Posted by Ackham on August 3, 2009 at 11:46 PM

I lasted until 2:01.

Why'd you do this to us Dan? It wasn't nice.

Posted by Lanis01 on August 4, 2009 at 12:38 AM

Garfunkel and Oates turned for the douche forever ago. I dunno, they were charming at first but now it's just bad, unfunny music that I don't want to listen to.

well, I think it's brilliant

Posted by Jessica Bessica on August 4, 2009 at 1:56 AM

I f*ckin' LOVE 'em!

Posted by Timmytee on August 4, 2009 at 3:12 AM

Slow it down and give it to someone who can rap.

Posted by Treppenwitz on August 4, 2009 at 3:21 AM

sweet
"I'm gonna pop my collar like like Limbaugh pops Oxy"
a turn 4 the douche.

slog comments do that...far too often

not their best work, but it still made me giggle.

Why do you people like this crap? Why??

Dullsville.

Two minutes too long.

We like it cause it's funny. Go write something funny.

"Spiked as Fuck" and "Fuck You" and "Word to your face" are why this should be watched.

Posted by Fenrox on August 4, 2009 at 8:31 AM

Oh, come on, haters.

Shit was funny. Y'all have no souls. I think it at least breaks up their catalog of cutesy pop songs a bit and wins on novelty alone, besisdes which, it's still funny.

Oh wait, I figured it out: you guys are the douches they're talking about. Carry on, then.

Posted by bearseatbeats on August 4, 2009 at 8:45 AM

Agree to disagree.

"really? this is slog-worthy?"

Lists of fictional dogs are okay, but this isn't? I'm pretty sure that the only requirement that something is slog-worthy is a) you work at The Stranger, and b) you want to post something. That's it.

Posted by Steve P. on August 4, 2009 at 8:59 AM

I'd do them both if they would just shut the fuck up for five minutes.

Posted by Ned Kelly on August 4, 2009 at 9:08 AM

Please Gawd, no more Garfunkel and Oates.

Posted by Sally Struthers Lawnchair on August 4, 2009 at 10:01 AM

Dan, do you have a crush on the blonde or the black headed one?

Posted by ..let me guess- both?... on August 4, 2009 at 10:27 AM

22 - why watch it if you don't like them? why even bother wasting your time commenting?

Posted by STJA on August 4, 2009 at 10:58 AM

@18 That was my first thought on seeing all the negative comments. Hit a little close to home for the douches.

Posted by johnyawl on August 4, 2009 at 11:42 AM

While I appreciate the wit, the cute tunes and sometimes-political lyrics, I still find them really cloying.

Posted by Judith on August 4, 2009 at 12:16 PM

Yeah this was funny a few months ago. Now...meh.

Posted by Rotten666 on August 4, 2009 at 12:46 PM

i loved it - maybe it's just because it's been so fucking true the last several times i've gone out. every live act in town lately has really just been a douche convention.

jocks getting handsy at jeremy enigk at neumo's? really??! um, no thank you.

Posted by mr. herriman on August 4, 2009 at 3:11 PM

It made me laugh, but I like their other songs better.

Rapping white girls. How inspired!

...on birth control like Margaret Sanger...

Posted by i<3g*o on August 6, 2009 at 2:18 AM

So my favorite band, discussing one of my favorite websites (Hot Chicks with Douchbags), and namechecking my favorite movie at 2:40. Even if today wasn't my birthday, (which it just happens to be) it would feel like it.

Posted by Lloyd Dobbler on August 6, 2009 at 1:11 PM

I admit that it's not as good as "Pregnant Women Are Smug", but I still loved it because I have always been baffled the by the success of Ed Hardy. Why would anyone buy that shit? How could anyone possibly think it looks good, edgy, fashion forward, etc.? Most of all, I wonder why people pay that much money for stuff that even a Walmart in Shitsville would put on the clearance rack.
