Othelio are clearly the next Susan Boyle. NOT!
In addition to being just one of the hottest summer jams from one of the crispest, cleanest, most in date groups, this clip serves as a welcome reminder that America is not the only land of goblins and nightmares. Even in the Queen’s England, a pair of sad middle-aged dreamers with a complete lack of self-awareness will be kept around a reality TV show that is ostensibly about discovering talent in order to provide schadenfreude laughs to a gruesome audience. Hahaha?! Of course, in England it is called “lorryfreude.” (Thanks for the tip, Bridget.)

“The internet’s gonna blow up on us.” Indeed, Othelio. Indeed.
There was something so Videogum about that whole segment in that interview.
“We’re going to have to hire the A Team!”
It was making me sad that our summer mixtape didn’t have artwork, so I made some that’s admittedly a bit rough

“Say what you will about these glasses, but they are just very functional. They keep the sun out of my eyes and protect my skin. And who are we kidding? All sunglasses look at least a bit douchey on guys.”

“this guy.”
I believe that’s MR. GRACE to you, cubiclechaos. And, for your information, he wears them to give him a modicum of anonymity in our celebrity obsessed culture. T-Dawg is entitled to his own private life, and while we may or may not approve of the accessories he uses to achieve it, we certainly owe him the decency of letting him cope with fame and riches however he best sees fit.

More like Britain’s Got NO Talent, amirite? Heh. I’m so on a roll today.
Ha ha! It was more like that!
Haha, don’t quit your day job. What’s that? You’re a singer/songwriter/producer? On second thought, go ahead and quit your day job. Maybe go back to school, learn a trade or something.
I feel emberassed for their two lovely sons.
I am also embarrassed by my own spelling.
Oh Gabe, I know you are very old and probably can’t hear properly, those people are clearly from Scotland. Again, Britain doesn’t England, although it probably did when you were a youngun.
But that guy isn’t wearing a kilt and I don’t see any sheep!
Well, he probably struggled with trousers especially for the occasion and got a sheep-sitter. Doesn’t take a lot of logic to figure out.
Oops, some grammatical errors all up in this bitch.
I’m starting to think Gabe’s doing it on purpose. Surely he wouldn’t just overlook my country. Then again I’m probably drunk, so who knows?
In “fairness,” they did have to go to England to appear on the show, right? So presumably the majority of the audience is English, and the judges are English, so this is sort of lorryfreude.
No it was in Glasgow. Not that I actually watched it. Or the follow-up “Britain’s Got More Talent” straight after. Nope, definitely not.
Simon is… pissed he was right?
“Othelio are clearly the next Susan Boyle. NOT!”
Never before have I experienced such an emotional rollercoaster in such a short span.
This is too close to Christopher Guest to be real… They can’t be real people… What real person is that self-unaware?

Tipper here.
This sounded far more lolarious on Saturday night
ever wonder what a “free government money” guy and Morrisey love child would look like?

NOPE. Not anymore at least.
That lady is channeling Wing…
They combine the passion of Tommy Wiseau and the talent of Tommy Wiseau.
Me right now, and all summer long:

Welcome to the LOLhouse.
“That was damn interesting.”
Sure, Othelio. Sure.
When did Simon suddenly become the hero? I mean, I get the unintentional humor in it all, but…
When you see a retard in a slapfight with the air over who gets to eat the last crayon, do you really want to put it on TV and give them a trophy for it?
oh, you know who IS the next Susan Boyle? Her cousin.
